The Washington-Merry-Go-Round —
Sen. Magnason to Do Some Tough Talking
to Awaken Congress to Plight of Marine
By DREW PEARSON
Bloom Overworked
One thing that contributes to
the death of much-loved Con
gressman Sol Bloom was over
work. And his work load was
increased by the fact that
many Democratic members of
the house foreign affairs com
mittee brazenly loafed on the
job, leaving most of the work
to Sol and the Republicans.
While the 11 Republican
members of the committee us
ually are present, sometimes as
few as three Democrats have
turned up. This once caused
conscientious Congressman
John Kee of West Virginia to
remark, “Maybe what we need
is a police force to get our col
leagues to attend meetings.”
So fac statesmanlike Con
gressman Charles Eaton of
New Jersey, leader of the
Republicans, hasn't taken
advantage of this. But he
could easly turn the tables
on the Democratlcs and put
the Republicans in the pos
ition of running American
foreign policy.
As a result the first act of
new Democratic Chairman
John Kee, when he took over
following Sol Bloom’s death,
was to warn Democratic con
gressmen it was time for them
to quit playing hookey.
Note—Sometimes it has even
been necessary to telegraph
Democratic Joseph L. Pfeifer
of Brooklyn at his home to in
sure attendance for committee
votes

Servant of Brothechood
When Forrest Warren, now
on the San Diego Journal, was
a reporter on the Atchison
(Kas.) Globe, he lost his wife
under the wheels of a train;
Perhaps that tragedy had
something to do with causing
Warren to spend too much of
his time since then listening
to the sorrows of others and
doing something about them.
At any rate, Warren has be
come a tireless worker for his
fellow men. He has organized
a revolving wheel-chair service
in which there are more than
600 wheel chairs and many
walkers for polio victims. He
orginated the San Diego shoe
fund, collecting $40,000 and
more than 100,000 pair of shoes
that were repaired and given
to needy children.
At Christmas time Warren
conducts a Santa-helper pro
gram by which 4,000 men, worn
en and children are cheered
with holiday presents. He has
collected money to buy books
projected on the ceiling via
films so that llat-on-the-back
patients' may read pages on the
ceiling above their beds.
Warren, now 71 years old
does all this in addition to his
regular work on the San Diego
Journal. He is a real servant
of brotherhood.
Plumps for Pecon
No newspaper in the U. S
A has fought Hairy Truman
more vitriolically, vehemently
and vigorously than the Chij
cago Tribune. These attacts
have also been centered on
Truman’s' military aide. Gen.
Harry Vaughan. Nevertheless
Tribune publisher Colonel Mcj
Cormick now has found somei
thing in common with Harry
Truman and Harry Vaughan.
He is an admirer of dictatory
Peron of Argentina.
Col. McCormick has been
traveling through Latin Amer
ica spending an average of 3C
hours in each of four capitals
_but spent more time in Bue,
nos Aires where President Per
on pinned a metal on his bresi
_the same kind of metal giv
| en to General Vaughn.
After lunching with Peron
McCormick informed the press
that he and the dicator were
' in complete accord on Western
■ hemisphere affairs.
Other things about the
Colonel's i«rip were interest
ing. One was the way Amer
ican ambassadors kowtowed
to McCormick, giving him
the impression that the pub
lisher's views were sympath
etically received in Washing
ton. Whereever he stopped
McCormick was wined and
dined by U. S. envoy, with
top government officials of
each country invited.
Another interesting fact was
McCormick’s rabid attitude to
ward Europe which became so
violently manifest that even
his own interpreter toned
down his remarks.

Drooping Merchant Marine
Democratic Sen. Warren
Magnuson has informed Pres
idential Assistant John Steep
man that he will do some tou
gh talking on the senate ilooi
if the White House does't wake
up to the plight of our mer
chant marine.
It’s time we realize that thq
American flag is going off tho
seas, declared Magnuson. Our
private commercial shipper;!
have fewer vessels in service
than the approximate 360-ves
sel seagoing fleet of the army
Futhermore, 95 per cent of oun
relief shipments to Denmark
and 60 per cent of our ship,
ments to England are being
carried in foreign bottoms.
As a result, declared Mag
unson, about 48,000 U. S. men
chant seaman have been
beached in the last seven
months.
