This, an unusual arrange- ce Tallant not only draws $7,022 from, yeesgedsxnmment to work for Wood, but also handles case; from the vantage point of the congressman’s office. Tt us Tallant, both as law partner and employee, was in a position to speals the Congressman. And whe: he made out a check for $1,00), Mack Stanfield, father of the crippled boy, signed it. I have in my possession a photo- stat copy of that check, dated Sept. 13, 1947, on the Bank of Canton, Cantcn, Georgia. I also have a photistat of a check dated the same day, made out to Coker: Hosy.ital for $3,300. In other words, when young Stanfield got the $10,- 000 compensation from the govern- ment, he immediately paid the bills incwrred by his illng and simul- tanecusly was persuaded to pay an unjust fee to Congressman Wood’ law partner and congressional em is for ficant that after the was passed, Congressman Wood apparently got worried. For the elder anfield says that the man asked him to keep the quiet. Of course, if the man thought anything was he could have returned the But he didn't. Wrol check Senator Russell 1s Different Also significant is the fact that ten days ago when the congress- man heard I was interested in this pay-off; he sent a friend of the nilelds around and asked to borrow the canceled check, prom:sing to retufn it. It has not been returned, however, and prob- ably n't be. What the congress- man did not know was that I had obtained notarized photostats of the telltale check before he borrowed it. In contrast to the $1,000 paid Congressman Woods' office for help a crippled boy, was the fact that Senator Russell got sim- ilar relief for another Georgian who was hurt by the same U. S. Army truck. But Senator Russell, like 99 per cent of the other mem- bers of Cc performed this service—as he was supposed to do —merely as part of his routine job of being a senator. He charged no fee The second man hit by the truck was Herman Philyaw, also of Tate, Georgia, who was standing along- side young S eld when fhe Army truck came round a sharp turn, out of contrcl, and crashed into them. St ield’s leg was smashed and Philyaw broke his wrist, Senator Russell prompfly got a bill passed paying damages to Philyaw, but charged him no fee. Congressman Wood got a similar bill passed for Stanfield, for which his office collected $1,000. h Taft Has to Campaign You have to hand it to Senator Taft. He can be refreshingly frank —when talking to colleagues behind closed doors. And the other day, also on the Con- | law | \’in opposing a bipartisan economic policy, he certainly laid his cards on the table. For several weeks, patient Sen- ator Joe O’Mahoney, Wyoming Democrat, has been trying to get |his joint committeg on the econ- | omic” report to agree on a long term plan for full employment. In order to please Taft, O'Mahoney | whittled down tlie Truman Fair| | Deal program though it still con- | tained a mild statement that the | way , to._ achj Wl employment was by moderate government stim- ulation of private enterprise. The! plan also included some of the]| Fair Deal ideas that Taft himself has championed in the past, such as low-cost housing. After toning down the report, Senator O'Mahoney finally handed it to Taft at a recent closed-door session. The Ohio solon read it, then with a broad grin exclaimed: | “This is a nice essay and I can agree with most of it. But doggone it! How do you expect me to Hogan s Golf King ARDMORE, Pa., June 12—®— The whole golf world knew it today and no one dared question it—the { boss man is back. He's back with two sound legs, a new pin-hungry quality to his golt shots and a determination that marks him as one of the great masters of all time. The climax chapter in the fan- tastic Ben Hogan saga was written yesterday down the fairways and across the tricky greens of Merion’s historic East Course. “He’s the greatest of them all” asknowledged Lloyd Mangrum, a tough old pro himself, after being beaten in the 18-hole triple playoff for the 50th National Open Cham- pionship. campaign on a thing like that! I've got to go out and be against everything that Truman stands for.” O'Mahoney, who had tried hard to get political unanimity, obviously was irked. “If we are going to divide along purely political lines,” he 2 this committee might just as well close its doors in election years.” regon Smear Campaign Politicians who are victimized by smear campaigns can take a tip from Senator Wayne Morse, the plucky Oregon Republican. During his rough primary fight, Morse was accused of being “soft on Communism” and a pro-fellow traveler. The whispering campaign against him was malicious and deadly. But two days before the election, Morse turned the tide by taking newspaper ads in which he offered to answer any and all questions during an hour on the radio be- fore an audience. A special battery of phone operators took down the questions from the unseen aud- ience and the Senator answered one after the other in machine-gun fashion. Morse's opposition sent in “smear questions,” which brought the issue out in the open, and gave him a chance to answer. He is certain that radio-quiz hour won nis decisive renomination. HEALTH DEPARTMENT ERRS IN APPOINTMENT BULLETIN ON DOCTOR Dr. Earl Albrecht, commissioner of health for Alaska, announced the department was in error in an- nouncing the appointment of Dr. Virginia Wright of Anchorage to the board of health for the Third Division.

FISHERY BIOLOGIST CATCHES ONE; NO "STUDY’ PLANNED Robert Schuman, fisheries biolo- gist, and Frank Hynes, fisheries management supervisor, kpth ot the Fish and Wildlife Service, came up with a fish over the weekend. Schuman actually did the job— on a 30-pound white king salmon he hooked at Tee Harbor—with Hynes on the business end of a gaff. The big fellow was boated with an eight-pound test leader, after going sucker for a strip of herring. Schuman said he doubted that biology would enter into the work he plans to do on the salmon—most of it will be relegated to the gas- tronomical department of the ) Schuman family. Crossword 32.
