' WASHINGTON - Three con-
gressmen from three widely sep-
arated parts of the USA recent-
ly paid their respects to this
writer in varying terms of criti-
cism and abuse They were:
1 Rep Frank “All Is Made
'or Love” Boykin the charm-
g courtly solon from Mobile
Ala who stated: “Pearson is a
slanderer of southern congress-
men who are fighting for the
south’s cause in the nation’s
capital”
2 H Carl Andersen of Tyler
Minn a Republican who called
toe every name under the sun
in denying a column account of
how he received $4000 for the
sale of family mining stock to
Billie Sol Estes which w'as not
delivered
The GOP congressman was at
Co loss for names because he
had tapped a compendium of
quotes from the Library of Con-
gress originally prepared by
my late mother-in-law who spent
considerable time and money
ghost-writing speeches for oth-
ers to deliver about her way-
ward son-in-law
? The unoriginal M Carl Ander-
sen simply tapped this readily
available supply of names ad-
jectives and shopworn cuss-
words which may have been
Cne reason why some of his Re-
publican colleagues ignored him
“Come in and say hello— come
shake my hand" he begged
With emotion in his voice and
tears in his eyes “Don’t pass
by H Carl Andersen”
3 Clarence Cannon the vener-
able congressman from the Mark
frwain country of Missouri a
Democrat made a much short-
er speech and showed more
friginality He did not tap my
Inother-in-law’s research in the
Library of Congress He used
ho shopworn expletives Further
faiore he mimeographed his
speech for the benefit of the
press and delivered it with clar-
Jty and better diction than usual
j Rep Cannon disagreed vigor-
ously with my account of his
deadlock with Sen Carl Hay-
den and the Senate Appropria-
tions committee over money bills
lo run the U S government
£ erred he said in calling this
is "sit-down strike”
1 “Now a word about Drew Pear
bon” he concluded “Mr Speak-
er I regard him as an indis-
pensable adjunct of our de facto
government He has become an
American institution In the lan-
guage of the English Parliament
he would be denominated as ‘Her
Majesty’s Opposition’ In ecclesi-
astical parlance he would be
termed ‘the devil’s advocate’
“Of course a man who must
write a column every day of the
pear must at times embellish
prosiaic annals of uneventful days
With a little sensationalism in
Order to make them readable
Hut he arouses interest and
sometimes throws the needed
light of publicity on otherwise
iinnoted phases of American life
and consequently is always en-
tertaining I take off my hat to
him And I hereby express ad-
miration of the very interesting
job he did on me In the lan-
guage of Rip Van Winkle may
he in the risible comradery of
Mark Twain Josh Billings and
the Baron Munchausen live
Jong and prosper”
The Aftermath
I Here is what happened to these
Jhrcc congressmen:
1 Boykin was defeated for re-1
nomination in Alabama Obvious-1
v the people of Alabama did
not think he was fighting for 1
the south’s cause or that this
Writer was slandering it
' 2 Andersen announced that he
would how out of the Republican
party and run as an independ-
ent— apparently because his fol-
low Republicans were hovcottong
him Unable to get support as
fcn independent however he nnw

HI 3 Ir Court of Della Conn
v
Iluwfsrf what a congressman
does in public especially in the
halls of Congress is another
matter
The other day passers by the
South corridor of the Capitol
could not escape noting the con-
gressman from Dallas as sun-
tanned as a Hollywood star his
arm around a beautiful high
school girl
A delegation of other high
school students came by— from
Texas — and paused near the
couple It became apparent that
tlie recipient of the congress-
man’s affections was a member
of the group
With the eyes of Texas upon
him the congressman recovered
quickly kept his arm nonchal-
antly around the young lady as
if it was the most natural thing
to do in the world and proceed-
ed to ask the students from Dal-
las how they liked the capital
and what else they wanted to"
see of Washington
Behind The Peruvian Revolt
President Kennedy personally
and the State Department of-
ficially did their best to prevent
the military move which thwart-
ed Peru’s recent presidential elec-
tions President Kennedy revealed
this to Rafael Caldera head of
the Christian Democratic party
of Venezuela in a recent talk
at the White House whan that
friendly Venezuelan statesman
asked Kennedy if it had not
been a mistake to let too many
US officials make speeches fa-
voring the APRA or Indian party
candidate Victor Raul Haya De
La Torre
In reply Kennedy explained
that the United States was most
anxious to make sure that Peru’s
election would be fair and that
the winner would get a chance
to serve not be usurped by the
Peruvian army
For that reason Sen Hubert
Humphrey No 2 Democratic
leader of the Senate and others
close to the president made
speeches praising Haya De La
Torre on the eve of the elec-
tion Now however exactly what the
president and the State Depart-
ment sought to prevent has hao-
pened The Peruvian army kick-
ed out the election returns which
saw Haya ahead kidnapped in-
cumbent President Prado and
has set up a military junta to
rule Peru - -r--
The State Department had pre-
viously issued the strongest
warnings to the Peruvian gov-
ernment against any army usurpa-
tion This was partly nullified
by the fact that the State De-
partment had issued similar
warnings to the Arrrt'ne army
before it kicked out President
Frondizi but went ahead and
extended Argentina $150000000
anyway This time to emphasize
' its threat the State Department
i broke off relations with Peru
I Three Major U S Mistakes
! What’s happening in Peru to-
day is tlie result of past mis-
takes by the United States and
by Peru’s ruling families ’The
mistakes represent the heart of
what is wrong in Latin America
and why Castro's brand of com-
munism is making some prog-
ress The situation is compli-
cated but important for the
American public to understand
Mistake No 1 went back to
the freebooting days of the Iloov-er-Coolidge
era when Wall Street
poured money into Latin Ameri-
ca much of it going into the
pockets of the ruling classes
The National City Bank for in-
stance spearheaded a $100000-
000 bond issue to Peru And
when his- writer In 1930 exposed
that fact that Juan B Leguia
son of the president got a “com-
mission” of $5000000 or bribe
President Leguia was forced to
resign
This was the first big finan-
cial scandal in Latin America
to get into the newspapers and
led to a policy during the
Roosevelt administration when
Sumner Welles cracked down on
Latin-American loans
Mistake No 2 came under Tru- i
man when the United States
poured money into South Ameri-
ca to bolster the military This
not only strengthened the Peru-
vian army which has now
seized power but also added
to the risk of war I
For Peru has long been on the
verge of war with Eucador has j
also had precarious relations
with Colombia And whenever
the United States sold or gave
Peru new tanks and submarines
Ecuador purchased more jet
fighters This defeated the demo-
cratic principles which the
United States was trying to pro-
mote In one year Ecudaor
bought enough jet fighters to
have paid for the entire school
system of the nation
Mistake No S came under
Eisenhower when at first the
State Department refused to
permit loans for land reform
or loans to nations which re-
fused to permit US oil com-
panies to develop their land
In the last year of the Eisen-
hower administration this was
reversed and a $50000000 loan
was advanced to Peru for land
reform
By now however it was late
Castro was already making
great inroads The Spanish
aristocracy which owns around
per cent of Peru’s arable
land was loath to relinquish
any acreage And the military
supported the aristoracy
Rectifying Mistakes
It was against this background
and to rectify these mistakes
that the Kennedy administration
backed Haya De La Torre head
of the American popular revo-
lutionary alliance a man who
was considered a communist by
some was hated by the army
and had spent a large part of
his life in jail or in exile
The Kennedy administration
had supported Haya and his
American Alliance for Progress
h’casise they stood for the same
goals as the Kennedy Alliance
for Progress— namely land re-
form higher taxes for the upier
brackets better housing and
vigorous opposition to Castro and
communism
