This came to light just after Admiral Boone 1ad testified before the House Armed Service Com- mittee that certain cutbacks in military hospitals were ‘short-sighted.” It looks like the Denfeld case, all over again.

If they are to be pun- shed for this and their careers broken, the time soon will come when no congressional committee can hope to get the true facts from its service witnesses. That is the real issue. It is a grave one, because it involves the power of Congress to control the armed forces.

With ‘this as a backstop, he ambled up and down the Senate Chamber, haggling with opponents. face to Iface, gesturing under their | noses, pleading in whispers with the nearest Senaior when sompone else had the floor. Kerr Oversells At timest Kerr's informal manner and easy drawl gave the Senate the atmosphere of an Oklahoma town meeting. But of late, his per-1 sistency has got under Senatorial) skins. Kerr has made the mistake | of overselling. Twice in one day Senate Majority Leader Scott Lu- cas politely called him down for wandering away from his seat and sitting almost under the nose Df! the Senator who was speaking. When Kerr kept this up the next day, Missouri’s Senator Forrest Donnell broke in impatiently: “Mr. President, I make the pomnt of}. order which was made twice on yesterday against the Senator from Oklahoma. Under the rules of the Senate, Senators are sup-| posed to be their seats when | they speak.” \' As the debate wore on, Kerr! challenged everyone who took the; floor against him. He kept inter-| rupting Missouri’s Sen. James Kein, ! for example, until the irritated Kem retorted: “I shall answer any questions the Senator puts to me in my own way, in my own words, in my own time and at such length as I see at fit.” “If the Senator cares to indulge in personal remarks, that’s all right,” shrugged K “If the Senator wants to in- dulge in personalities, let the bars go down,” snapped Kem They glowered at each other for a moment, then fell back to the polite, formal language of the Senate. Charm Peddler At another point, Kerr suggested that Sen. Paul Douglas’s argu- ments “would cause the Junior Senator from Illinois to become a joint author of the bill” * “God deliver us from that” cri Douglas. “I am sure that he will—to our mutual gratification,” bristled the Senator from Oklahoma “T should like to be with the Lord and T should like to be with the| Junior Senator from Oklahoma,” smiled Douglas, “but not on this particular question.” Between spurts of fire, the de- pate was dull and technical. Kerr was assisted principally by Sen. Johnson of Texas who al- so flitted fromy Senator to Senator, turning on the charm when argu- ments failed. 1t will be interesting to see how much the charm of two freshmen Senators will cost the nation’s nat- | Broadcasting ‘Gompany puts Air- !('l‘i\!«(‘rOP coalition which ural gas Cconsumers.

It dedicated its new song to Harry Truman, with special credit to Harry Vaughn. . . Florida is a long way from Wash- ington State. But George: Fuller, the West Coast lumber lobbyist, intervened in Florida politics re- cently—against Sen. Claude Pepper. This ties in with heavy GOP 'in- terest in backing Rep. George Smathers against Pepper in the Florida primary. The young Repub- lican Committee of Volusia County, Florida, has now even ‘come out in the open in support of Smathers. . An uncle of Congressman Hugo Sims claims he watched a flying aueer for 15 minutes in South arolina. This report brought Con- gress’s leading scholar on flying saucers, Andy Jacobs of Indiana hot footing it to Sim's office for a detailed account. Administration leaders are worried about another open break between northern big- city Dmocrats and southern farm Democrats as a result of the Dixie- wrecked the middle-income housing program. Some northern Democrats are so furious that they are planning | ta hit back at the Dixiecrats with a coalition in reversé—teaming up with Republicans against every southern farm bill. .Secretary of State Dean Acheson is getting | another bombardment from Capitol {Hill this week.

He said he has sent this telegram to Sen. Knowland (R-Calif): “Respectfully request: you inter- cede with President and suggest rolling of oranges on White House lawn this Easter instead of eggs. This would be in line with govern- ment’s recommended crop rotation prineiples and obviously a fair. deal | for .all; AlSo, it will help take spot- light off administration’s embatras- sing egg surplus. . . ."” Wilson is the owner of a 40-acre citrus grove . Wilson could have saved himself some effort: the White House egg rollings were dropped during the war and haven't been revived yet.
