Just two years ago this month
I told the story of how Harry Tru-
man had fired Francis Biddle as
attorney general because of his
deep-dyed loyalty to Kansas City's
Boss Pendergast and his resent-
ment against Biddle for having op-
. posed the appointment of several
Pendergast friends. Among other
things Biddle had refused a parole
to Boss Pendergast also had in-
sisted --on the reappointment of
Maurice Milligan the U. S. dta-
- trict attorney who sent Fender-
gait to jail. Also Biddle had held
out against appointing Fred Can-
' field Truman's old sergeant In
World War I as U. B. marshal in
Kansas City.
Whereupon - Truman newly-
become president of the United
States fired Biddle without even
the courtesy of talking to him
personally. The story made Tru-
man appear to be a very vengeful
White It is true Out Truman still
has deep loyalty to his Pender-
gut friends and alio that he fired
. Biddle I am now convinced that
it if not true as previously
ported that the president nunee
such deep grudges against those
' who oppose his old Missouri co-
horts. 1 At any rate same inside things
have happened recently which
how that he Is dolus everything
possible to undo any wrong he
may have done to Biddle.
TRUMAN SUTFOKTS BIDDLE
Last January Mr. Truman cent
. to the acute the ume of Frauds
Biddle to be U. S. representative
on the United Nations social and
economic council. And In the sen-
ate Biddles name has Iain ever
since thanks to Sen. Arthur Van-
denberg. Three' months have
named and the eeutor from Mich-
igan has not reported Biddle's
name out of .cammtttae. .
Many presidents of the United
States discouraged at the opposi-
tion of so powerful a senator
eepedally one who has cooperate:
on other foreign policy matters
would have withdrawn Biddle's
name. In fact Truman has been
urged to do so. Former Under
Secretary of State Dean Achaean
who belonged to the Felix Frank-
furter school (in vigorous opposi-
tion to Biddle) advised Biddles
withdrawal. Achraon even wanted
to appoint George Harrison In bis
place and suggested that Biddle
undertake the codifying. of United
Nations laws Instead.
' Sen. Vandenberg has also Inti-
mated to Truman that he will
block Biddles appointment In-
definitely. . Truman however has not been
cowed. The answer of the man
who once fired Biddle presumably
because of pique regarding Pen-
dergast was a tetter to Vanden-
berg stating that ha had abso-
lutely no infentlon of withdraw-
ing Biddles name.
It is now reported that Truman
might be willing to send Biddle as
ambuaador to France provided
Biddto is vilttoM to thf
' switch. But if Biddle wants to
continue the fight for the United
Nations post; the president has
made it deer he will beck him to
the limit
It seems only fair to report
these facte shout Harry Truman
which I hereby do.

well-known Wall street speculator

his time and affections to Mexico
where taxes aren't so high and
where Ben la interested In many
profitable ventures including a

State department officials still
are marvelling at the way Smith
finally wangled his way in on
the trip of President Aleman. The
wangling began before Aleman
left Mexico City when Smith
asked to be included as a member
of tha official presidential party.
This was refused.
Later however Ben turned up
in New York where his friend
Ed Flynn' delightful boss of the
Bronx put the pressure on the
' state department and hard-hitting
Mayor Bill O'Dwyer to have Smith
