As we recall, none of the men involved displayed reticence—all were eager to speak in defense of théir scheme to shift a disproportionate share of the cost of the Palmer airport to the federal government These men were vociferous in irregularity in the “wash” sale tr: were loud in their criticism of the men who uncovered the story. They accused their critics of sabotaging the pro- hamstringing the administration’s construction program; of attempting gress of aviation in.Alaska; of to embarrass the administration by oo Tony Schwamm told a representative of this newspaper -that the adverse publicit project was not founded in fact and that this and other newspapers had retarded Alaskan aviation by at.Jeast ten years.

This is a unique case in that it is the first time the subcommittee has been presented with a situation where a subdivis namely, has attempted to secure funds from the Federal Government in a manner which would do viclence to the spirit and the letter of the law.” Those are strong words to apply to a’‘“correct | transaction. words of praise the deal was said to have deserved.

The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page Omne) T U] [ by ‘prolonged peace talks in Korea. Here are at least three reasons: No. 1—The United Nations is not going to go to the rescue of the French in Indo-China. That strug- gle has been going on a long time, and there is considerable feeling among some U. N. members that the French bungled things by hang- ing on to Imperialism too long. No. 2—The U. N. will not relish gaing to the defense of Yugoslavia. Eirst, it's a Communist nation. Second, it isn't in the North At- lantic pact. Third, It's in a corner of the world which is hard to de- fend. No. 3—Peace talks are going to cause a letdown in the US.A. and this is exactly what the Kremlin “wants. Inflation in this country can do more for Moscow than a dozen Chinese armies in Korea. Also, any letup of the American mobilization program will be greatly appreciated in Moscow, thank you. Obviously the Kremlin now real- izes that the Korean war was a big mistake if for no other reason than that it got American prepar- ess into high gear. Tt will be interesting to see how ar the solons in Congress fall into Moscow’s trap. So far, in regard to tion, they seem to be falling t. £= Lobbying ex-Congressman x-Congressman Pace of Georgia, rmer chairman of the Agriculture @pmmittee, was ordered off the House floor last week—for lobbying on the Farm Labor bill while it was being debated House rules permit former Con- gressmen to visit on the House floor, but Pace was using this priv- ilege to lobby for the National Cot- ton Council, which wants to legal- fze cheap Mexican labor. He was so blatant in pulling strings on the House floor and tell- ing his former colleagues what to say in debate that Congressman McCarthy of Minnesota walked up to the presiding officer and whis- pered a protest. The Chair then sent an orderly who quietly order- ed Pace off the floor. Note—Incidentally, Congressman Pace, the law requires you to reg- * ister as a lobbyist Taft Gets Cold Feet The man who has secretly been blocking the Senate elections com- mittee from getting a counsel hap- pens to be Senafor Taft Taft made a big show of demand- ing an investigation the Ohio campaign, but got cold feet when the committee agreed investi- gate. So Taft got his friend, Con- gressman Clarence Brown of Ohio, to block the appointment of Rob- ert Murphy as committee counsel Murphy needed a special waiver to serve as counsel, because his law firm is engaged in suits involving the government. After Murphy was blocked in the House on orders from Taft, Taft has now silently okayed the ap- pointment of a counsel to his lik- of | ing—John Lederle, who worked for it | the Republicans in 1946, Iranian Politics ! ‘While Prime Minister Moham- |med Mossadegh is taking over the |vital Iranian oil fields, his No. 1 | assistant, Dr. Husain. Fatimi, is | secretly on’trial for misappropri- ating funds. ‘ This is the fourth time Fatimi has been caught by the police, and though condemned by various courts, he continues to be the man who's masterminding the whole middle east oil crisis. Doctor Fatimi has so much in- fluence that he’s even heen able to suppress news of his own trial thugs raided “Sidayi on June 23 which mentioned that Fatimi was on trial, and des- troyed every issue. Yet he's the man who will eventually decide whether the United States has gas rationing—or possibly, whether the American people go into World War III. The whole world is walking on the razor edge that divides peace from war—and a man in Iran may make the final decision. Heartsick Senator One of the great speeches of the inflation debate was delivered in the Senate at about 3 am, It was by a man whose banking flym has made him a multimillionaire but who fought vigorously against the big-business lobbies—Herbert Leh- man of New York. Though Lehman is 73 years old and served as Governor of New York more terms than any man in history, he is new to the Senate. And he seemed hurt and disappoin- ted at the mad scramble of his colleagues to vote for the interests. Finally he rose, sadly, softly, sdid: “What I am about to say is not going to please my colleagues in the Senate. Yet I must say it. Here we are engaged in a life-and-death struggle, a struggle for survival against the most ruthless enemy in history, fighting on two fronts, on the military and on the economic. “We ought to be engaged exclu- sively Jn considering legislation to benefit all the people of the country, legislation to keep our country on a sound economic basis. Yet, here I see and hear Senator after Sen- ator rise, not to concern himself with the issues before us, but to play politics, to blast the admin- istration. I tell you, it has made my heart sick to hear all this. It makes me feel that we are betraying the people who send us down here “We are about to pass a bill which is a bad bill, a bill which is not in the interest of the people of our country,” Lehman continued. “T know there is nothing I can say which is going to reverse the trend and bring about the ends many of my associates and the people seek. Deep down in our hearts, we all know that these ends are necessary. Yet some are acting without regard to what right. But T hope that we are not going to be supine or satisfied with what we have done. * ‘I assume that what T have said will not set well with some of my gues,” Lehman concluded. I am glad T said it and speaking 1 think special | I and | | is something which had to be said on the floor of the Senate.” Some Senators turned their faces in shame. The faces of others were frozen in brittle, sheepish grins. A few ovenly smirked. But no one said & word. You could see Leh- man’s words had cut deeply.

Hanford said today. Hanford said there had been some question as to the status of the OPS under the 30-day extension granted by Congress last week. “Under the resolution extending controls,” Hanford said, “Congress stipulated there could be no roll-| backs by virtue of existirig regula-] tions. The regulations referred l‘): are manufacturers’ regulations. “Previous to the action last week by Congress, many manufacturers would have been required within the next few months to roll back many of their prices to a level re-estab- lishing pre-Korean cost-pri re- lationship. Also, some manufactur- ers would have been allowed to "‘nfml been caught in a squeeze. “For the next days, howeve! neither, roll ba or roll forwards | ! will be put into effect.
