The Frontier ” Nortb-Nebraskas Fastest-Growing Newspaper pages i to 2 VOLUME 69—HUMBER 2 O'NEILL, NEBRASKA. THURSDAY. MAY 19. 1949 PRICE 7 CENTS fhe Washingfccm-Merry-Go-Round — GOP Told Time Has Come to Stop Appeasing and Start Hitting Back’ Bt DREW PEARSON Recess Is Refresher Despite talk about the boys: “needing a rest,” real story be- 1 hind the 10-day Easter recess of the house was that Speaker Sam Rayburn and Majority Leader John McCormack sent their charges home for a “re fresher” course. Rayburn and McCormack were chiefly concerned over another GOP Dixie coalition against repeal of the Taft Hartley labor law, and they thought some elbow - rubbing with the folks at home might be the best preventive. The strategy applies to Republicans from industrial districts as well as Democrats. Meantime, local AFL and CIO leaders were planning lo give the returning politi cos a stiff workout during 10-day "vacation.'' Rayburn and McCormack are keenly aware that the Taft - Hartley vote will be a crucial test they can’t afford to lose, if they are to keep nor thern city Democrats in line on other administration mea ures. Ever since the GOP Dixie coalition against rent control, there has been talk of a northern “revolt,” or a coali tion-in-reverse, in which nor thern Democrats would gang up with Republicans to block southern farm bills. Rumbles of Revolt At a dinner meeting with North and South freshmen Democrats recently, Rayburn and McCormack heard increas ing rumbles of “retaliation” against Southern coalitionists. This wasn’t all cloakroom whispers. Quite a number of big-city Democrats, who be lieve in carrying out Truman eampaign promises, have spok en out openly. Among them are freshmen Democrats Anthony Taueri ello, of Buffalo. N. Y.. and Earl Wagner, of Cincinnati. O.. who angrily told McCor mack the time had come to "stop appeasing and start hitting back" at southern opponents of the Fair Deal program. “I’ve had enough,’’ bluntly asserted Tauriello. “I was elected on the Truman pro gram, and I believe in the whole program. I’m tired of seeing the program delayed and undermined by members of my own party. A lot of us think it’s time to start retali ating.” At the dinner, Rayburn and McCormack made strong pleas for harmony. Since then the grumbling has somewhat sub sided. • • « GOP Hop* Oregon’s bushy-browed Sen. Wayne Morse, considered a black-sheep by old guard Re publicans, nevertheless has a strong though secret following in congress. This group not only lakes its political cues from Morse, but is quietly boosting him for the vice - presidency in 1952. He is the only Repub lican, they feel, who can take votes away from the Democrats in their greatest stronghold—labor. Leaders of the Morse move ment include such congressmen as John Phillips, of California, H. R. Gross, of Iowa, and James Golden, of Kentucky —all progressive Republicans, of their support until he was invited to talk off-the-record the other day before a gather ing of about 20 Republican congressmen. With characteristic blunt ness, Morse tore into the ills of the Republican party. "I speak only of the sen ate." he declared, "but in the senate, we have a few who hold policy meetings. The rest of us read about it next morning in the papers and are called together at 10 o' clock to confirm it. He accused GOP leaders in congress of playing turtle dur ing the last election. “It wasn’t Dewey’s job to defend the 80th congress,” said Morse. “It Was up to our top leaders in congress. A lot of them suffered political laryn gitis.” As for the GOP stand on la bor, Morse snorted: “We’ve got an antilabor label on our party, and we’ll keep it until we liberalize the Taft-Hartley law.” • • • Barkley Humor Vice-President Alben Bark ley brought down the house with this story at President Truman’s “harmony” dinner with freshmen congressional Democrats. Here is the Bark ley story: A minister sermonising to his flock on the virtues of friendship inquired if there were any members of the congregaton who could hon estly say they had no ene mies. An aged man with a long beard arose in the rear of the church. “Ah, I am glad to see that there is at least one among us who can answer my question, beamed the minister. “How old are you, sir?” “One hundred and four years." , , ., „ “That’s truly remarkable, said the reverend. “Do you I mind telling us how you have i managed to be without ene mies in such a long life span. “Because,” said the old man, “I outlived them all.” .. — I New Machinery! 1 — LA Case Tractor. 2 — VAC Case Tractors. 1 — VA Case Tractor 1 — Minneapolis-Moline ZA Tractor 1 — Used Minneapolis-Moline RTU Trac tor 1 — Mounted 2-row Listers for VAC & SC Tractors 1 — Mounted 2-row Cultivators for VAC SC and DC Case Tractors 1 — Mounted 2-row Listers for UTU & ZTU Minneapolis-Moline Tractors 1 — Mounted 2-row Cultivator for Min neapolis-Moline UTU—ZTU & RTU 2 — Pulltype 2-row Minneapolis-Moline Listers 1 — Pull-type 2-row Case Lister 1 — 21-ft.
