Possibly an addi- 1t is safe to say the next session of the Legislature move on, but Alaska will have to pay the fiddler. So much information is available and being dis- ignorant, although a large number of people somehow Mr. Truman has shown an actual interest in economy. But in between' times he has proposed spending pro- grams which beggared the dreams of his predecessor. And he has made caustic comments about the members Ihe Waslunglon Merry-Ge-Round : By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page 1) with invasion of the home, tcrlurc‘ and beatings. Therefore, the State Department | quite rightly reported to Europe ! the amazing fact that the Ameri- can people wanted to raise muuey‘ voluntarily to build a juvenile de- | linquency school as a tribute to J. Edgar Hoover. Mr. Hoover, since then, has mod- estly said he does not think a mem- orial should be built to a living man. However, the name is not im- portant. It’s the spirit that counts. | And money has been coming in to the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation, Wash., D. C., from all sorts of peo- ple. Here is a letter from a preacher in Waco, Texas, Rev. Ar- thur J. A. Koerner, who writes: “I am not a wealthy man, but I want to join in the tribute to a great, unselfish public servant, especially a tribute which will help solve onz of our greatest problems —juvenile delinquency. Thereforé, my wife and my son, Paul, agreed : with me at the breakfast table to| mail this foundation every year a check for $10, and to do this con- tinuously after I am gone from this world.” VISHINSKY OPTIMISM Secretary of State Acheson re- ported to President Truman that Soviet Foreign Minister Vishin- sky has been even more cordial at the opening of the Foreign Min- isters’ conference than was report- ed in the press. Vishinsky also ap- peared nervous, but this was at- tribyted not to worry over the con- ference, but to a slight touch of St. Vitus dance with which the Russian_chieftain has been suffer- ing for some time, and which was| the reason why he went to Czecho- slovakia last winter for a cure. | At ope point Vishinsky's ex- pressien of hope that much would be accomplished during the Paris discussions, caused Britain’s Foreign Minister Bevin to say: Th.n depends in large part on you.” “It depends on all of us here” Vishinsky replied. ‘“There are not| two of us here; there are four of us here. I think we will accom- plish a great deal.” During the discussions of the agenda for the Paris talks, Ache- scn raised a question as to how much &uld be accomplished during | the talks. To this Vishinsky made | the amazing reply: “We will reach agreement everything we take up here.” Acheson interpreted Vishinsky's | suggestion that a Japanese peace treaty ke considered, as an indica- tion that Russia might want to reach a general settlement on all outstanding ~ East-West problems now. In his cabled report to the White House, however, Acheson cautioned: “One swallow does not a summer make.” on IOYKIN"ALABA)(A ‘ Race riots make sure-ire head- | That's why you ‘won’t see front- page headlines about Boykin, Ala- bama. Nevertheless Alabama’s Congress- man Frank Boykin, who votes| | : against mest progressive measures in the House, has made a big con- tribution toward better race rela- ( tions inthis little town. the Negroes were so grateful that | they named the town aiter him. Congressman Boykin not only se- cured Federal money to help the community, sent personal contri- butions to improve the schools, but is now offering Negro farmers a Brahma bull and a thoroughbred boar. After the post office of Boykin was opened, the townsfolks sent their first letter to the Congress- man for whom the town was nam- ed. They got the town’s lone white man, J. R. Hall, to write it. “This community,” he wrote, “is small and entirely colored, but they have hopes of expanding by the education of the ycung folks |and the guidance of the older peo- ple in better methods of farming. “Being in public ofiice, you often have a thankless job . .. (but) may this letter be just a token of ap- preciation and thanks for all the gocd things you have done for us.” MERRY-GO-ROUND Commenting on the Congressional coalition against his program, Pres- ident Truman told a recent caller: “Public welfare is still the best rolitics and legislators who don’t kpnow it will find out.” . . . Re- torting to charges by Congression- al foes that legislative demands are too great, Truman added: “My policy always has been to plan big. That way, you can always cut down. But if you plan small, it's difficult to build up.” . . . One Con- this column’s recint rollcall of the Dixiecrat-GOP coalition is Edward H. Jenison, Illinois Republican. . . . Though the resignation of able, young Assistant Secretary of Labor John Gibson was announced two months ago, Secretary Maurice To- bin has persuaded him to remain on the job. Almost every night his wile asks if he has quit. Final- ly, Gibson told her: “Ripley ought to hear about this. You're the first wife I've ever known who wanted her husband to quit work.,” At Sen- ate hearings on arthritis and rheu- matism research, Ralph B. Rogers, Springfield, Mass, motorcycle maker, pointed out that 7,000,000 American workers were afflicted with these painful diseases, and that govern- ment research could improve not only their health, but their earning power. Even a slight improvement, he said, would enable them to pay one dollar more per person in fed- eral income taxes, and thus pay for the federal research.
