'Don't Tell Me—Let Me Guess'
Attack on Taft Unmerited
I ABOR is said to have marked six senators as its prime
^ candidates for political oblivion this year. They are
Taft of Ohio, Miliikin of Colorado, Hickenlooper of Iowa,
Capehart of Indiana, Donnell of Missouri and Wiley of Wis-
consin. All are Republicans.
By a coincidence, all of these but Miliikin are reported
to be on President Truman’s list of top targets.
We don’t understand those political analysts who question
labor’s right to oppose whichever lawmakers it chooses.
It shouldn’t have to be said Labor has as much freedom
in this regard as any other group.
Labor has some broad goals that may perhaps be attain-
able only through legislation. To gain those ends, it needs
sympathetic friends in congress. What is more natural that
that it should try to elect them? Or try to defeat those it
considers unfriendly?
But one might fairly ask, however, whether labor always
views its own interests in a genuinely broad light. Take
the case of Senator Taft, for instance.
He heads labor’s list of undesirables. That’s largely lie-
cause he symbolizes the Taft-Hartley act, which union
leaders call a “slave labor law.’’ In view of their strong
feeling toward this statute, their dislike for Taft is under-
standable. But it is definitely short-sighted.
T’AFT is a co-author of the federal public housing law now
A on the hooks. It is doubtful whether the measure would
have passed the senate without his steady support. He
favors federal aid to education, and a federal health plan
(though much more limited than the administration’s).
As a matter of principle, Taft accepts the responsibility of
government to safeguard the popular welfare where private
enterprise or smaller units of government show themselves
unable to do the job.
By American political standards, this attitude is neither
reactionary nor markedly conservative. In these fields, Taft
is plainly as good a friend as Labor has in the senate. Prob-
ably better, because he is far more influential in promoting
the passage of important bills than many of those who
enjoy labor’s blessing.
Even on the issue of Taft-Hartley, Taft is no stubborn
mossback. He approached the original bill seeking justice
for all—labor, management and the public. When repeal
was proposed in 1049, he conceded he may have been wrong
on numerous points. In his acknowledgment, he proposed a
long string of amendments to better the law. But his plan,
successful in the senate, died in the house because only
repeal would satisfy labor.

OLLYWOOD, March 17—(U.R)—
Ronald Reagan claims he’s
found the secret the world has
been searching for—how to have ,
his cake and eat it, too.
"I’m retiring,” Reagan said.
"without retiring. I'm taking it |
easy, and still drawing a pay-

check.”
Reagan's retirement plan divides
his time between his iNorthridge
stables, where he breeds horses,
and Universal-International stu-
dio, where he co-stars in "Louisa.”
"You’re looking at a man," he
| tells friends, "who’s found out
how to work it. I've learned how
to divide my time.”
Reagan's prescription for happi-
ness has made a new man of him. j
He used to be an eager beaver who ]
worried about a new role before
he finished the last.
“I still want to stay in show
business as long as I can stagger j
on a set and people will pay to
see me.” he says now. "But I find I
myself also looking forward to the
days between pictures. I hearUly {
recommend my system to every- ]
one."
Reagan's recommendation is sim-
ply that everyone who works with
his brain should get a hobby for |
his hands. And everyone who
works with his hands should find
one to exercise his brain.

time business or profession is the ! W/ASHINGTON, March 17—'NEAT

Kelso answered that one with a

THIS is not to HUgjrest Taft is Labor’s perfect ally or that
he is infallible. Quite the contrary, he undoubtedly
makes many errors. But it should be evident to anyone
who studies his record and learns how tirelessly he works
to ferret out facts that he is a lawmaker in the most hon-
orable sense of that word.
Whatever mistakes Taft may make, he is never guilty of
failing to seek the pertinent facts. And he always tries to
make up his mind honestly and without yielding to fear or
pressure. He lets the facts lead him wherever they seem
to point, even when it means he will have to espouse a cause
his GOP colleagues consider “socialistic.”
Does labor appreciate how rare are men of such in-
tegrity in the senate, or for that matter in any lawmaking
body anywhere? Neither labor nor business nor the farmer
nor the ordinary consumer can have a better friend in con-
gress than a man who searches diligently the real answer
to a problem and fights for that answer when he thinks he
has it.
Labor should be more discriminating in choosing its
targets.

afternoon on sales methods.
Members of Chapter M, PEO entertained their husbands

guests.
Honoring Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Rector, jr., of Morris-

Miss Ruth Yost, 121 North Hoff avenue, was hostess at
a meeting Saturday evening of the Azulikit club. Easter

were guests.

know what I mean. She just ran
on and on and ON! When she
finished finally, I had to go and
lay down, if you—”
"I know just what you mean,”
said Kelso. "Your name and ad-
dress, please!” When he had re-
corded them, he again addressed
his little public:
"Did anybody see this man Moody
come out of the house?”
There was a general murmur of
negation and a shaking of regretful
heads. The lives of most of the
little throng were so drab and dull
that they did not know their luck,
did not value the happiness of ob-
scurity. They would have been glad
and proud of even such a crumb of
fame as comes to a casual witness
of some detaU in the chronicle of a
crime.
Kelso hurried into the house,
sought out Detective Dorton, and
told him of the recognition of Paul
Moody by a number of people.
Then he suggested that, in view of
Moody's known quarrel with the
dead man, he ought to be looked
into before he could make a get-
away.
Dorton was without a hint of any-
one else to suspect, and he went
into the living room for a word
with Fleming. Fleming had already
had Paul Moody's name forced into
his suspicions and he was ripe for
persuasion. He thought that it
would be the right thing for some-
one to make haste to Moody's home,
pick him up and take him to head-
quarters for questioning.
At his suggestion, Dorton tele-
phoned his chief and told what
Kelso had learned. He strength-
ened the case against Paul Moody
as he repeated it.
* * *
ELSO took the telephone from
Dorton and suggested to the
chief that It might be a good idea
to send the SID fingerprint man
along with him to pick up any
prints Moody might have left about
his studio—Just in case Moody had
already taken a "run-out powder."
It had been so long since the
chief had been able to approve any
of Kelso's actions, that It gave him
pleasure to say:
"Good idea. Kelso! Good work!
Qo to It and nab Moody if he shows.
And take along your fingerprint
collector. Looks like quite a thing
we all got here. I want to clean it
up quick and hush some oi these
mugs that are always saying we
never catch anybody. Step on it!"
When Dorton and Fleming re-
turned to the multitudinous details
of their multitudinous tasks, they
paused to tell James Stivers of his
new assignment,
He had made a large harvest of
S1
visitation to Moody's studio. Kelso
did most of the talking and asked
many questions about fingerprint
identification and the possibilities
of theft or substitution. ”*
* * *
S told him of the elabo-
rate precautions built up and
taken to make certain that no such
thing could happen.
"Of course. It could happen, I
suppose. Everything human is full
of flaws, and what one man is
clever enough to think up as a way
of safekeeping, another man may be
clever enough to find a way to get
around. That's the trouble with
what they call burglar-proof safes.
As long as you have to build a safe
that the banker can get into when
he wants to, you've got to build it
so that a burglar can get into it,
too, while nobody is looking.
"So I suppose somebody could

guards we use, but he'd have to be

' T The “high-ranking state depart -
ment official” whom Senator Joseph
R McCarthy charged had tampered
with state department personnel
records turns out to be Joseph An-
thony. Fanuch, now a New York
lawyer. He was deputy assistant
from November 1945 to January
1947. Then he was special assist-
ant to General Lucius D. Clay in
Germany, returning to the U. S.
last fall.
Senator McCarthy refused to name
the official at the opening session
of the senate foreign relations sub-
committee investigation into chages
of security risks in the state depart-
ment. But identification of the of-
ficial was betrayed by Senator Mc-
Carthy himself in two of his cases—
No. 14 and No. 41.
Then Panuch was informed that
he had been Identified as Senator
McCarthy's mysterious “high-rank-
ing state department official,” he
refused to make any comment until
he had seen the record.
The joke of the whole business is
that Senator McCarthy criticized
the "high official” for his handling
of case 14, and praised him highly
for his handling of case 41. And in
case 41, Senator McCarthy men-
tioned Mr. Panuch by name. That
was the give-away.

Have just come from the radio
station where I said fifteen hun-
dred words abobut the Red Cross,
which I hope will not be killed by
anything or anybody. Time on the
air was contributed unsolicited by
the Kelso store and I think it a
fine gesture of faith in the or-
ganization. just as the splendid
ads in the newspapers contributed
by individuals and business firms
have constantly brought to mind
the thought that the time is now,
and that you can make your gifts
go further by giving through the
Red Cross.
Last Tuesday night we were
privileged to hear Grace Pavy of
Calumet give a lecture on the
united nations. It was well illus-
trated with charts and, all in all,
let a lot of light into my mind
where the darkened haze of this
subject has been almost infiltra-
tion-proof. It has not been oppor-
tune for me to attend many study
groups but none within my ken
has matched this one for com-
prehensive analysis of so intricate
a subject. I could hear it again
and enjoy it.
Monday. March 20, all Red
Cross activities will again be con-
centrated in the regular headguar-
ters in the city hall. We have
enjoyed Mr. Craven’s hospitality
during the first three weeks of
the fund campaign but believe it
will not be necessary to continue
such an office. Most of the re-
maining solicitors who have not
finished their work are familiar
with our location in the city hall
and will bring their returns there.
Ruth Lewis of the Clayton Camp-
bell agency has filled in the gaps
in staff for us and has thereby
added to the pleasure of our tem-
porary occupation of quarters on
Rock Island. We are also grateful
to the Robert MaUonees for a
parking space in their back yard,
out of the high rent district, and
the Butts flower shop and Jack-
son's Electric, for the path to and
fro. Thanks everybody!
McCarthy on the senate floor re-
cently charged that. "This is a case
of pressure from a high state de-
partment official to obtain security
clearance for an individual with a
bad background from the standpoint
of security. He was appointed a
translator in December 1945 ... A
report from another government In-
vestigating agency under date of
Jan. 9. 1946, advised that the sus-
pect should be dismissed because he
was flagrantly homosexual. He had
extremely close connections with
other individuals with the same
tendencies and who were active
members of Comunlst front organ-
izations, including the Young Com-
munist league . . .
The state department’s own se-
curity agency recommended the
discharge of this employe on Jan.
22. 1946. On Feb. 19, 1946. this
individual's services were terminated
by the state department. Subse
quently, on April 1, 1946, the action
discharging this Individual was re-
scinded and he was reinstated in
his job in the state department.

ministration report of Sept. 2. 1947,

ment official to Induce several in-
Senator McCarthy had this to say
about his handling of case 41:
"There Is a memorandum in the
file to the effect that Joe Panuch
had made considerable effort to get
this man out of the state depart-
ment. He was unsuccessful, however,
and, incidentally, the information
I get—and this is not so much
from the files—is that this man
Panuch tried to do a job of house- (
cleaning and was given somewhat of
a free hand under Jimmy Byrnes
in starting to accomplish the job.
“However, when Byrnes left and
Marshall took over—senators will
recall Acheson was then under-sec-
retary—the first official act of Gen-
eral Marshall was to discharge the
man, Panuch. Obviously, General
Marshall did not know anything
tbout the situation. Some one of
the underlings said, ‘Get rid of this 1
man.’ It would seem to be the only
logical thing that he would not,
as his first official act, discharge a
man, unless the undersecretary said,
Get rid of him,’ which Is rather
unusual. Here is one man who
tried to do the job of housecleaning,
and the ax falls.”
