ViCE-PRESIDENTIAL HUMOR Here one story which Vice President Alben Barkley doesn't tell, but which his friends tell on him It gc b to World War I when y, then a member of the House of Representatives from Kentucky touring the battle front with a group of Con- gressmen. The party included Rep. Marvin Jones of Texas, now Chiet Justice of the U.S. Court of Claims; Rep. Charles H. Randall of Cali- fornia, Rep. Martin Welling of Utah, and Barkley himself. Arriving in London, the Congress- jonal committee found itself booked by the U.S. Embassy for a trip in- to the British countryside early the next morning. So, placing their shoes outside the door to be shined according to standard British cus- tom, the party went to bed, leaving calis for 6:30 am. But about 3 a.m., the irrepressible Barkley got up, telephoned Con- gressman Welling’s room and in a broad English accent announced: “The car 2 awaits without.” Hastily, Welling dressed, couldn’t find his shoes, but rushed down fi€ flights of stairs of the swank Sa voy Hotel in his stocking feet to ask the sleepy night clerk to find his shoes and meanwhile to holc the carriage. The joke furnished London much merriment and e Welling en- joyed it. To this day, when Bark- ley and Marvin Jones, Randall or ‘Welling meet, their greeting is: “The carriage awaits without.” is Bark was MOSCOW’S LO: MEMORY The -story can now be told of how the Soviet government schemn- ed to dismember Czechsolvakia fol-) lowing the war. * It can be told because General| Heliodor Pika is dead, executed last | week by a Communist government firing squad.

In fact, Prich probably cussed out even more than , because Vinson was viewed akenly—as an easygoing gen- | tleman, a prisoner of the young men around him, chiefly Prich. In Washington, it's frequent!y the; ghost writers and the admir a- { tive assistants who have to do a lot | of the dirty work and who get the brickbats with none of the credit. | Prich was in that category.
