The Washington-Merry-Go-Round —
‘Not First Time Barkley Has Broken
Into a Boxcar,’ Vandenberg Quips
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON — Three dis
tinguished statesmen were on
hand to greet the French grati
tude train when it arrived in
Washington — Vice - President
Barkley, and his former col
leagues, Senators Connally, of
Texas, Democrat, and Vanden
berg. of Michigan, Republican
These three have served in
the senate together for more
than a quarter of a century.
Sometimes they have been on
opposite sides of bitter political
battles, but they have never let
party politics interfere with
personal friendship. They know
tach other as well as they know
the senate—which is better than
almost anyone else in Washing
ton. How much Senator Vanden
berg knows about the early boy
hood of Senator Connally, of
Texas, is his secret.
But at the very conclusion
of the ceremonies welcoming
the gratitude train, as the ven
erable Tom Connally took a
pair of shears and snipped the
red, white and blue ribbon
sealing the District of Colum
bia boxcar, his old friend, the
senator from Michigan, whis
pered to the vice-president of
the United States: "I'll bet
that's not the first time Tom
has broken into a boxcar.
It isn’t being advertised out
side the state department, but
British Foreign Minister Bevin
didn’t put his best foot forward
with tho new U. S. secretary of
state just a few days after Dean J
Acheson took office.
Bevin sent what amounted to
a frantic SOS to Acheson for
help to get him enough votes to
speak by an attempted censure
of British foreign policy in the
house of commons. But after
Acheson helped to get him the
votes, Bevin, in effect, bit the
hand that fed him.
Here is the inside story of j
what happened:
Just before the debate on Pal- |
estine, Bevin was worried sick
that the labor party might be de
feated and have to resign. Part
of the criticism was because
Britain’s policy in Palestine was

• upsetting American relations.
Therefore, Bevin hit on the idea
of telling parliament that Brit
ain and the United States had
settled their differences and now
agreed completely on Palestine,
Bevin actually wrote out his
remarks in advance and cabled
them to the state department
January 25 to make sure Secre
tary Acheson had no objection.
Bevin also appealed to Acheson
to issue an American statement
backing up Bevin on Palestine.
The state department OJs. a
Bevin’s remarks and gave him
the go-ahead—and that
ment was the trump card which
helped him win a vote of confi
dence by a margin of only jW.
Otherwise the labor govern
ment might have been defeat
ed.
However, Bevin extempor
aneously inserted some other
remarks in his speech, criticis
ing American policy. This
made Acheson so irate he flat
ly refused to issue the subse
quent statement on Palestine
supporting Bevin. As a mat
ter of fact, Acheson also con
sidered protesting to Bevin
about his American criticism,
but finally decided to forget
the whole thing. He decided,
however, that he would think
twice before helping Bevin out
of a jam again.
It isn’t often the government
gets mixec^ up in big-league
baseball, but for some time the
civil aeronautics authority has
been probing the Brooklyn
Dodgers’ spring training camp
at Vero Beach, Florida.
Actually, the Dodgers are not
involved. It's the city of Vero
Beach which the government
is interested in, because of a
complicated transaction b y
which Vero Beach is suspected
of leasing a government air
field to the Dodgers at a hand
some profit. The airfield is be
ing used by the Dodgers for
their fair-weather training, for
an official charge of $5 per year
plus the proceeds from an exhi
bition game. The airfield is own
ed by the government and leas
ed to the city of Vero Beach for
nothing, with the stipulation
that any income is to be used
for the airfield’s upkeep and
improvement.
CAA officials now suspect
that a lot more than $5 a year
is being paid by the Dodgers for
the airfield. What .makes them
suspicious is a statement by Ma
yor Merrill P. Barber that the
city had “entered into a five
year renewable lease with the
Brooklyn baseball club at an
estimated income of $12,000
(annually).”
Later, city officials began to
search for extra pillows upon
which the Dodgers’ heads were
to rest at night. The govern
ment supposedly was turning
over a certain number of pil
lows with the airfield. And Air
port Manager Bud Holman, ap
pealing for more pillows, com
plained: "This is really putting
us in a bad position, as we
have a 10-year contract with
the Brooklyn ball club which
should bring us in from $20,00C
a year upward.”
This, says the CAA, is a lot
more than $5 a year. That’s whj

Propose to Run Through Coal Test
62 YEARS AGO
February 17. 1887

Esse blacksmith shop, taking
possession last week. He moved
his farAily up from Grand Is

C. H. Wixson, clerk in the
receiver’s department of the
Niobrara land office, was in O’

made this office a pleasant call.
He was on his way to Atkinson
for a short visit with his fath
er. Charlie thinks of removing
to that town after his time is up
at Niobrara, which will be the
first of March.
The people of Dorsey have
formed a stock company and
are making extensive pre
parations to determine wheth
er or not there is coal in that
vicinity. Each share is valued
at $10 and nearly 100 shares
have already been sold. They
propose to sink a three-inch
hole to a depth of 1,000 feet,
and give the question a thor
ough test.
As soon as the Catholic church,
of Atkinson, is paid for it is the
intention of Rev. Father Engle
brecht to have a brick school
building put up about 40x65 and
two stories in height. It will be
a boarding school though, of
course, day pupils can board at
home. The best instruction
will be furnished. A building of
similar design and purpose will
soon be erected at O’Neill.
Various other improvements
are in store.

brought ownership of electric facilities into the hands of the people
they serve.
Consumers Public Power District is not a utility company
operated for a profit. It is precisely a public electric system in whrch
housewife, businessman, laborer—all who use its services—are equal
owners and equal beneficiaries.
Under sound business management, supervised by a board of
directors elected by the people of the areas it serves, this state-v.. de
public power system distributes its vast benefits in lower costs,
greater service and community development to all users alike.
