LONG LINE ... A clothes line 100 miles in length would have
been required to dry the 1,500,000 pieces of linen used by Shrin
ers occupying Pullman sleeping cars in their round trip journey
and during their convention at Los Angeles, Calif. Few Amer- j
ican housewives would exchange their Monday wash day chore
for the staggering job that faces the Pullman Company each !
day of the week. Even 4-year-old Tory Crawford, of Los Ange
les, has the blues as she stares forlornly at a mountain of sheets.
Che Washington-Merry-Go-Round —
McCarthy’s $10,000 Part of Millions
RFC Advanced to Lustron Corporation
By DREW PEARSON
A Maine Joke—
Eavesdropping is an old fam
ily pastime with Maine’s Sen
Owen Brewster who, as this col
umn revealed, tapped the tele
phone wires of California air
plane manufacturer Howard
Hughes.
More than 3 years ago—Feb
ruary 18, 1947, Senator Brew
ster appeared before a judiciary I
subcommittee to opose the ap
pointment of John Clifford as
U S. district judge for Maine.
The senator explained that Clif
ford came to Brewster’s hotel
room to discuss a local housing
problem.
“He said he would come up
to my hotel room and see me,
Brewster continued. "I did
something which I have never
done before, and I do not think
I will ever do again. We had 2
rooms at the hotel, the door
open between, and I asked Mrs,
Brewster to listen to the con
versation."
Since then it’s been a stand
ing joke in Maine whenever
anyone mentions having a talk
with Senator Brewster to ask:
"And was Mrs. B. standing be
hind the door?’*
Diogenes' Lantern—
Most congressmen are scrup
ulously honest abeut taking
gratuities for introducing leg
islation for their constituents
—unlike Congressman Wood, of
Georgia, whose office collected '■
$10,000 for passing a bill com
pensating Ralph Stanfield after
he was crippled by a U. S. army
truck.
For example, when Senat
or Sparkman, of Alabama,
was still a congressman, he
introduced a private bill to
compensate a constituent who
also had been injured by an
army truck. The constituent
was so grateful that he depos
ited $500 in the bank in
Sparman's name and sent the
deposit slip to Sparkman.
This was promptly returned,
however, with a courteous note,
thanking the constituent but
asking him to keep his money.
After Sparkman changed the
deposit back to the constituent’s
name, the bank returned the
worthless deposit slip to Spark
man Across it was scribbled:
“At last Diogenes can put down
that lantern.’’
This referred to the Greek
philosopher who carried a ligh
ted lantern around in mid-day,
searching for an honest man.

McCarthy's $10.000—
There may be more than
meets the eye behind the $10,000 !
paid to Sen. Joe McCarthy, of
Wisconsin, by the now bank
rupt Lystron corporation for
v\jriting a 7,000-word booklet
on housing
It’s well known that the
$10,000 the Lustron people paid
McCarthy was part of the RFC
millions which the government
advanced to Lustron. Thus, in
effect, all the American tax
payers helped to subsidize the
senator from Wisconsin.
Bui not generally known
it that McCarthy had done a
terrific job for the real estate
lobby prior to receipt of the
fee. Not only had he engaged
in a tenacious, vitriolic battle
against the housing bill — a
battle just as tenacious as his
present row over alleged com
mu sis m in government — but
he also dominated the ap
pointment of a house-senate
housing committee supposed
to investigate tjhe need for
public housing.
In the closed-door battle ov
er the appointmnt of this com
mittee, in October. 1947, Sen
ator Tobey. pf New Hamp
shire, chairman of the banking
and currency committee, turn
ed up with the proxies of 4
senators in his pocket All 4
would have voted against Mc
Carthy.
Whereupon McCarthy mov
ed that the committee refuse to
honor proxies. Such a refusal
is almost unheard of in con
gressional committees. Howev
er, McCarthy had a scant ma
iority of the committee with
him. and got away with it. He
then obtained the appointment
of New York’s Congressman
Gamble, a foe of housing, as
chairman of the housing com
mittee, with himself as vice
chairman.
It w»i as vice • chairman
that McCarthy spent the tax
payers' money to tour the
country studying housing,
and later cashed in on that
trip by getting $10,000 from
\e Lustron corporation.
Though McCarthy now states
he sold his article to the high- j
est bidder, actually, according |
to Lustron officials, McCarthy
pleaded for more dough.
His income tax for 1948 may 1
show the reason why. As filed
in the state of Wisconsin, Mc
Carthy's tax return shows his
total income was $28,947, in
i eluding his senate salary of
$12,500 plus the $10,000 from
! Lustron, plus $4,535 in divi
dends from the Milwaukee and
the Central of Georgia rail
roads. However, McCarthy also
lists losses to the tune of $25,
881 which he claimed from the
sale of securities of the same
railroads.
