Mr Hoover to the Rescue We wouldn't go so far out on a limb as to say Herbert Hoover is entirely responsi ble. But the suspicion remains that the for mer President, on the first visit in a dozen years to his one-time residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C, suggested what looks like a promising and generally acceptable solution of the cur rent food problem. Not only that, but Mr. Hoover seems to have found a patch of common ground on which the obdurate Republican Congres sional Food Study Committee and the White House can meet. The Republican committee has stumped long and loudly for one-man bossing of the food setup, but without offering anything so complete as Mr. Hoover's recent blue print. After the ex-president came out with his 12-point proposal, however, Rep. Tom Jenkins of Ohio introduced his "Hoover Plan amendment to the price control act. This would give the Secretary of Agri culture control over food production, pro cessing, distribution and pricing, and leave OPA with only the rationing job. Mr. Hoover's suggestions applied only to meats and fats, but otherwise the plans were the same. Meanwhile, President Truman announ ced from the West Coast that a plan for a single control over food and prices was shaping up at his end of Pennsylvania Av " ( WELL "DON'T . - HOLD fW.TCO lORCj, A ssss-- WE'VE A LOT OP A I .

When the -House of Representatives goes " into one of its knockdown, dragout free-for-al!- as it just did in its seven -hour non-stop fisnt over price control renewal there iss't a better show in Washington. Mere bedlam, more wild state ments, and millions oC words-that-shr tud-be-eaten-with-or-without-raticr.-point; spilled all over the floor. On nearly every question, the arsurcent was split right down the r.-.idcllo aisle, th? Republicans favoring amendment cf OPA all over the lot, the Democrats favoring continuance of OPA as is for another full year. Less than a dozen members from either side broke over the party line on votes and, for once, it was almost impossible to tell the 9 WTf'.n"'',7 SMWHln ft ' f tj e:;i. anu, brotners. Or, as some neutral diplomats summarize it: 'A Pcle will always be a Pole whether he's in London or Lublin." Illustrative of how the Poles are feeling their cats was a meeting- which took place at Moscow last week regarding the Polish row with Czechoslo vakia. The meeting as attended by Russian under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Vyrhinsky; also by ex-Prcm:er Mikolajczyk of the London Poles, plus Lngot Morowski of the Lublin-Warsaw govern ment. Morowski, though supposedly a Soviet puppet, started the fireworks by ranting- against the Czechs. He haid the Czech; had no right to Teschen, a small cool-raining town which had always been Czech, but which the Poles snatched away from Czechoslovakia when she was powerless in Hitler's hands after Munich. Soviet Commissar Vyshinsky emphatically dif fered with Morowski. He pointed out that the Poles have peaceful means for settling their disputes, should net use the aggressive tactics of the nazis. Finally Morowski subsided. SOVIET HOLD SLIPS Other uncensored diplomatic reports show that the Warsaw-Lubhn Pcles arc getting tougher and more independent and that the Soviet grin is slipping. Here are some developments which, for some queer reason, have been hushed up by Euro pean censorship: 1. Twelve Catholic papers are now being pub lished in Poland. (There has been considerable op position to the Lublin Poles by Catholic groups, on the grounds that the church was being suppressed.) 'J..

The Lublin Poles also resent Russia's op pcsition to Polish expansion in the northwest, where tne Poles would like to take over the German city of Stettin. 6.

Jenkins, of Onio, came up with his broadside proposal to transfer all ODA functions except rationing to the De partment of Agriculture. When the Republicans caught the Demo cratic leaders off guard and put that one over 145 to 142, they cheered like wild men. Just how good a long-range political issue the Republicans have got hold of in their opposition to OPA is hard to measure. What the Republicans have seized on is the current dissatisfaction of producers and distributors who aren't allowed to make more money of con sumers who cant buy everything they want. The Republican urge is to meet this dissatisfaction by easing up on OPA controls so that suppliers will have added money incentive to make more goods avail able to the demanders who have the money to spend.

He explained to the British 'T'HE political danger of this is that when you give an inch you have Prime Minister that much as he appreciated his to let go a mile. If the Republicans should succeed in breaking i g00(i intentions, the American people resented out- price controls, there would be an immediate, loud demand tnat wages would have to go up to meet the higher prices. To carry through and make the most of their initial political victory, the Republicans would then have to lend their support to breaking the '-Little Steel" formula. That might gain the Republicans some of the labor support the? have lost in the last 12 years. On the other hand, broken price coniro. plus broken wage control adds up to only one thing inflation.

Undoubtedly Churchill was planning recipro city for the help which Harry Hopkins had given h.m two years before. At that time, the winter of 1912, just after Pearl Harbcr, Churchill faced growing criticism in parliament. So Harry Hopkins went to London and with Roosevelt's bless. ng dropped the word quietly in British political circles that the President of the United states appreciated the fine cooperation he was getting from the Prime Minister and would be sorry to see any change of British leadership. Harry Hopkins was very open and above-board about this and later told friends in Washington about the worry he and Roosevelt had felt regard ign Churchill's tight political position. A lot of water has passed down the Potomac since then, and today things are different. Today the White House is keeping strictly hands-off the Eritish election. In the frst place, Presdent Tru man dees not have President Roosevelt's intimate and personal friendship with Churchill. If any thing, he is a little unsympathetic. Regardless of this, however, it is the belief of many American political leaders that it would be very unwise to dabble in British politics even in the most oblique manner. Furthermore, there is a considerable body of opinion in the senate which has been quietly though definitely critical of Churchill's policies in Grecee, Belgium and Italy, and which feels that Churchill has played the old British balance-of-power game to stir up trouble between the United States and the Soviet. Were a more liberal prime minister in office, many senators feel that our cooperation with both Britain and the Soviet would be easier. All of which is why the White House is watch ing the British political struggle with keen interest but meticulously keeping hands off.
