Washington
Undercover oppoaltlon to the
BritUh loan ii much neater on
Capitol Hill than administration
leader realize. Many including
tome good Democrat feel that
I Mr. Truman negotiator ihould
have tied up the loan with Brit-
! lh commitment not to discrimi-
nate against us when it come to
politics and trade.
Here 1 one behind-the-scenes
Illustration which makes congress-
men boiling mad.
The Export-Import bank gave
Greece Jan. 11. e loan of 25-
000000. But before advancing the
money the state department called
In Greek Ambassador Clmon P.
Dlamantopnulos and administered
an oral spanking because his gov-
ernment did not respect the filth
air freedom.
The fifth air freedom gives for-
eign planes the right to pick up
passengers in transit In other
words an American plana flying
from Italy to Egypt could stop In
Greece and pick up passengera.
Although this was agroed at the
Chicago air convention Greece
does not adhere to the fifth air
freedom.
Ambassadom Dlamantopoulos
when spanked replied:
But gentlemen 'don't you
realise that the British required
us to do this. The British run
Greece. (British troops still oc-
cupy the country.) We would
gladly give the United States ex-
clusive air righto in Greece. -But
we cant while under Britain."
In the end the state department
okayed the 25JXXMXM Export-
Import bank loan though- simul-
taneously demanding Greek fiscal
1 reforms. Real fact however is
that the Greeks are now obliged
to pay British banks about one-
third of their total revenue most
of this going to the Hambro bank
run by Winston Churchill's close
friend Charles Hambroi
If the British were to relax on
their financial demands no U. 3.
loan to Greece would be
ary.
NOTE: Meanwhile no nation
in the British sphere of influence
has adhered to the fifth air free-
j don
1 TEXAS AND rALESTINK
Diplomats who sat in closed-
door sessions of the Palestine com-
mission . said that things went
much better than expected. The
British members got along well
with the Americans the British
being especially entranced with
the genial personality and Texas
drawl of Judge Joseph Hutcheson
ol Houston
Judge Hutcheson opened the
private meetings by reading a
statement of aims and principles
which he thought the commission
might adopt After listening care-
fully British Commissioner Rich-
ard H. S. Crossman remarked:
"MaF I compliment you sir
on the perfection of your lan-
guage. I find myself in hearty
agreement with every sentence
in fact every word. The British
members have prepared no state-
ment; and bad we prepared one
I am sure we could not have im-
proved on this. In fact I am in
such agreement that I confess I
find no reason for any statement
at alL
JUdge Hutcheson blinked. Then
in a drawl exactly the opposite
of Mr. Crossman's incisive accent
he said:
"Thank you sir thank you.
Never before have I had a compli-
ment from an Englishman and I
appreciate this one. But I con-
fess that I am afraid to turn my
head for fear I would find my
throat slit from ear to ear."
FATHER O'CALLAHAVS
MEDAL
Tomorrow courageous Father
Joe O'Callahan chaplain of the
stricken carrier Franklin gets the
highest navy award from Presi-
dent TTuman the Congreasionsl
Medal of Honor.
Behind this is some interesting
back-stage by-play. At first navy
politics operated against OCalla-
han ruled that he was to receive
no medal of honor. When this
columnist exposed backstage ma-
neuvering however OCallahan's
case was taken to Secretary of
the Navy Forres taL He reversed
the admirals.
Here are the politics: The naval
board didn't want to give the
medal' to Chaplain O'Callahan
without also rewarding Capt.
Leslie E. Gehres commander of
the stricken vessel. However
Gehres had got in wrong by de-
manding the court-martial of six
officers aboard the Franklin.
These six officers It was
claimed had contributed to pan-
demonium aboard the Franklin
by jumping from the carrier to
the cruiser Santa Fa alongside.
Their jumping helped 'touch off
an exodus of enlisted men and
officers.
Contributing to the pande-
monium were two other factors.
A handful of enlisted men
drenched and burned from fire-
fighting bad been permitted to
put on officers uniforms when
their own quarters were shut off
