Fellow Missourian When President Truman met} privately with leaders of the AFL and CIO last week, it was suggested that each leader rise and introduce himself to their honor guest. Most of the leaders gave their own names, names of their umions and the office which they held. But when it came the turn of Charles McGowan, - head of the Boilegmakers Union,. he rose and merely said: “Charles MeGowan of Jackson, Missouri.” Trulman seemed to get a big kick out of this.

Neither accepted proposes to rectify this. On the other hand, Se or O'- Mahoney, also of Wyoming and in the Senate for 17 years, has been presiding over a committee exam- ining Senator £ ed Red smear of Secretary of the Interior Chapman. And O'Mahoney has become so steeped in the sen- atorial idea that a fellow senator should be permitted to talk indef- initely that he has let the Schoep- pel hearings become a filibuster in which Schoeppel, with no facts and no proof, continues to talk for the purpose of saving face Under the American system a man §s innocent until proven guilty, yet Senator O'Mahoney is s0 : xious to be fair to his- collcague These few find it in- credsingly difficult to reconcilq mg{q;loyalmes to the Jefferson’ with the flexible l from Kansas uopn him to establish and organize the fiscal system of Alaska, a piece of work he performed admirably and which has remained in effect ever since. pleasure of this He continued to discharge the duties of that office the charges of |until 1935 when he became vice-president of the First the Democratic | National Bank at Juneau.
