And some Senators felt these questions bordered on secret information — such as design, performarice of war | planes, targets to be hit in Russia, | ete. Tydings also proposed that the findings of the review Committee be made public, and it was this aspect of disclosing strength and strategy which made other members of the Armed Services Committee boil. As a result, the meeting ended in a veritable verbal 4th of July. Senator Chan Gurney oi South Dakota, the committee’s former GOP chairman, was the first to challenge Tydings' procedure. He moved that Tydings’ tions be taken up with the Secre- tary of National Detense and that Louie Johnson be called before the committes and asked whether the idea was worth while. This, Tydings snapped back, had already been done. He had talked to the Secretary of Defence on his own. Senator Lyndon Johnson of Tex- as then suggested that if airplanes were to bhe evaluated, the Senate committee should do the same thing for tanks, ships, airplane carriers and all other branches of the ser- vice This idea didn't click with the gentleman from Maryland, and the debate got hotter. At one point, gentle Lynden Johnson challenged: “The chairman is tco arrogant about things.” “Well, the chairman is really try- ing to serve the committee,” shot back Tydings. TYDINGS FUMES Finally, the committee agreed to Gurney’'s motion that Secretary Defense Johnson be the committes at which point Tyd- ings blew up. He shouted that he! wouldn’t permit it. “The committee has voted on this” remonstrated Johnson of Tex- as “and the chairman has got to| dot it.” Tydings retorted that he didn't| propose to do anything of the kind “Yeur aren’t the whole commit- | tee” bristled Jchnson. “You're just| the chairman.” “Well theyre my questions, list of questions on strategy and air strength he proposed to ask the | board of review, “and you're not going to have them.” Whereupen he adjourned mesting.

But Johnson begged off from ex: pressing an opinion on Tydings’ air- | strength questions. He said he | would have to take them up with/ | the joint chiefs of staff. & “I haye to live up.to unisieation | | like everyone else,” he explained. | LADY AND THE TIGER | Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois s the victery of young Flanklin Roosevelt over the Tammany tiger | requires revision of the old limerick |about the lady who rode on a tiger only to be devoured. In that verse | “They returned from the ride With the lady inside | And a smile on the face of the | tiger.” | But Senator Douglas now propos- | €s a new version: “There was a young lady from Niger, | Who rode on a Tammany tiger. They returned from the ride With the tiger's skinned hide Draped over the lady from Niger.” | —_— | FROM THE DIPLOMATIC POUCH , Chief reason Ralph Bunche, Ne- | 810 diplomat, turned down an offer *to be Assistant Secretary of State iwas race discrimination in the na-’ tion’s capital . . .
