V-E Letdown Hits Congress|
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Service Staff Correspondent ‘
WASHINGTON—Poor old Congress has combat
fatigue. The Battle of Washington is just too much
when taken in unrelieved tours of duty and thej
C-men are beginning to show it. Over a fqurth of
the members of both houses are absent with orl
without leave. On the day somebody threw a
luncheon for the new Secretary of _the Senate,l
Leslie L. Biffle, Senator George was the only Demo- I ‘
crat present on his side of the aisle, while five
lonely Republicans listened to Senator Harold make
a heavy speech on the Big Five veto. Total attend
ance, seven. Over in the House the record was
better with 300 out of the 400 on hand to pass
repeal of the poll tax. But that was so hot for |
some of the southerners they wished they were
home and it was a futile gesture besides, because
the Senate will probably kill it.
Adjournment of Congress in July is likely, how
ever, and it's about time, because the distinguished
members are all stir-crazy and they need to go
home for a check-up and to be checked up on.
The battile neuroses shew on the congressmen
in the things they do. The House is always un
predictable, but when the Senate goes haywire
as it did in passing the price control amendment
which would guarantee a profit on -all produce,
then you know it's time for a'change.
ADMINISTRATION WINS AND LOSES
The Lower House was clear off form and doubly
surprised everyone by (A), passing the Bretton
Woods agreement and (B), taking a terrible hack
at the President’s powers to cut tariffs under the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements program. The first
was considered as good as the latter was disap
pointing to the Administration.
What seems to have happened to both the
Reciprocal Trade renewal in the House as well as
to the OPA renewal in the Senate is that the solons
were unable to look past their own noses. Both
were considered as purely local issues, instead
of matters on which there should be a national
policy. :
Everybody wants price control, everybody wants
tariffs reduced—except on those particular com
modities in which he deals. And when congressmen
listen and react to such pressures, the only thing
that will do them much good is @ good long rest
amid quiet surroundings.
Inflationary fevers and chills are still epidemic
all over Washington. In Congress they have showed
up recently in the House idea of increasing con
gressmen’s expense allowance $2500 a year, and
in the Senate proposal to double congressional
salaries from SIO,OOO to $20,000 a year. Not to be
overlooked, either, is the bill to increase the payi
of government workers by some $736,000,000 a
year. Any way you size this up, Congress seems‘
agreeable to the idea that government is going to
cost more, and the few economies effected by
knocking a paltry $17,000,000 off the Office of
War Information appropriation are going to be
more than made up for if the congressmen stay
in Washington much “longer.
POSTWAR GOVERNMENT HIGH-PRICED
The great saving, of course, can come in post
war's reduced appropriations, but even so the
Brookings Institution is out with a report that
government after the war will cost two-and-a-half
times as much-as in 1940. )
The two things which President Truman has
specifically asked of Congress—unlimited power to
reorganize the government and increased Social
Security payments—will probably have to ride
over until Congress reconvenes in the fall. The
President needs both these authorizations to deal
with immediate. problems, but both seem headed
for a fight and Congress is in no mood to tackle
such large orders at this time.
Even with Congress out of town for the summer,
things aren’t going to be dull. Senator Robert F.
Wagner’s BhAnking and (,'urren(‘.y Committee is
fixing to hold elaborate hearings on Senator
James E. Murray's controversial Full Employment
Bill, and there will be the United Nations Charter,
written at San Francisco, to argue about. That,
too, will Pmbabl." have to wait until fall before the
Senate will feel like considering it for ratification.

ROCKET SHIPS IN JAP WAR
Leading the van of our newly concen
trated warfare against Japan is the small
rocket ship, one of our least known and
most powerful weapons, reveals Harry
Botsford, prominent naval expert, in the
June issue of Mechanix fllustrated Mag
lazine. Bostford discloses that the compar
atively tiny rocket ships carry about, two
and a half times the punch in fire-power
of a battleship, of the giant New Uersey
class.
“The rocket ship can work much, closer
to shore than battleships cruisers “or de
stroyers” says Botsfordiwho, continues: It
races back and forth making an elusive
target while it rains rockets which com
pletely disintegrate eneray, installations.
In the Normandy landings the rocket
ships caused such terrific {havoc that, in
their sectors, our ground forces were able
to land with only minor opposition. Latest
report is that no amphibious operation
‘has failed since we have | used them in
‘numbers.
~ ““In use by the Navy arle three types of
rockets. The normal beat:h rocket is 5.5
inches in size and carriess the destruction
of 105 millimeter shell.. Other rockets
are incendiary. Another type is the smoke
screen rocket which is.used to hide our
troops when they are in'a tight spot. ‘
“Rockets are always fired in salvos.
By means of a sexret automatic aiming
devise, amazing accuracy, with no over
lapping, is achieved. in sweeping a beach.
Because loading rockets is simple, it can
easily be done at sea as well as in port.
The launching apparatus is lighl, mobile,
easily aimed and adjusted. Such intense
heat ang flames is created by the firing
of rockets that a crew must go below
decks.
“In 1900, Professor Charles E. Monroe
of Columbia University, unknowningly
contributed much to the m‘ethod of firing
rockets when he arranged a charge oi
gun powder in the form of an open cylin
der. This method, ten times more effective
than a solid charge, was unused until
1939 when our War Department develop
ed a weapon based on the principal. It is
the famous bazooka. Today the Navy has
the same principal in use on its rocket
ships.” '

. UNJUST DECISION REVERSED
~ The findings of a court-martial trial in
Europe in the case of Private McGee, of
Massachusettes, on the charge of mis
treating German prisoners and who was
given a two year sentence in prison and
a dishonorable discharge has been re
versed. After the boy’s conviction, he toolk
the matter up with his father, who in turn
reportetl the case to his representative in
Congress and an investigation immediate.
ly followed, the case being referred to
Acting Secretary of War Patterson, After
a full investigation of the case and the
proceedings of the court-martial, the
Acting-Seeretary reversed the action of
the court martial decision, and ordercd
the young man restored to service in
good standing.
The action of the Acting Secretary de
serves the commendation of all law abid
ing citizens. However, it is not often that
court-martial trials ever go wrong, but
in this case it appears a grievous miscar
riage of justice was committed. At any
rate, Private McGee has been restored to
service in good standing and all parties
interested should be satisfied that every
one connected with the case did what
they believed to be just and right.
SAFETY ENGINEERING
It is good to see pictures of the first
new model automobiles in four years be
ginning to appear in the papers. And we
find it particularly good to see a broader,
sturdier bumper onithe fronts of at least
two of them. We hope it’'s symptomatic
of a new trend.
We've achieved tremendous additional
speed in the air during the war years.
And we've built up & great yen for surface
speed among the motorists who have been
keeping to a maximum 35 in the hope of
prolonging the life of aging cars and
thinning tires.
Automobile makdrs could probably
build much faster post-war cars, but we
rather hope they won’t. In the last post
war years our traffic casualties exceeded
our annual military casualties since thern.
And so, since the automobile makers
can’t engineer sense and caution into the
postwar driver, we hope that they wili
engineer a little more slowness and safe
ty into the postwar car, and leave the
speedways in the skies.
The largest petroleum pipeline in the
United States is the “Big Inch,” which is
two feet in diameter, originates in Long

FIVE RULES FOR ¢ l
A HAPPY MARRIAGE
Too many marriages fail heforc!
they have ever begun. Thoyi
fail because they are based on
failure; they do not endure be
cause the thought of endurance
has never entered the minds of
tae people who marry. A mar- |
riage which is taken lightly or
flippantly is invitable bound to
fail, because it is built on sand.
« The Little Church doe§ not be
lieve in easy mariage. In a sin
gle year five hundred applica
tions for wedlock were refused
because the applicants failed to
give evidence of any real sincer
ity, of any faith or desire that
taeir marriage would last. Many
of these young people felt that
by marrying they were merely
contracting a liaison that could be
broken whenever they tired of
one another.
“We are being married simply
because the law reuires it,’ taey
confessed in answer to questions.
“It is a convention and apparently
we have to accept it. But, nat
urally, we are marrying with
réservations. If we find we do
not like each other, we won’y stay
married.”
Some young couples argue “If
we marry with the idea that we
must stay married. we might not
be nappy. But, by keeping an
open mind and using marriage as
an experiment, we are allowed
some freedom of action™

‘A man described this sense of
fulfillment, of completion, in a
truly happy rriage when ‘ae
said, “Neither rnr‘s wife nor I have
anything alone; together we have
everything.” -It is that sense of
togetherness which creates the
single entity which is so much
more, important than two war
ring independent personalities.
“I want to be myself, a young
woman told me defiantly. “I am
going to continue to live my own
life in my own way.”
-~ But, of course, she cannot do
that and have a successful mar
riage. It is a joint life which
must be lived. Marriage, after
all, is a discipline, a constant
learning to give and take. Too
‘much freedom is destructive.

HOLLYWOOD — There is no
mysterious secret to those endur

was telling us over the luncheon
table.
“I like people and I don’t fight
with anybody,” she said.
Stars come and go in Hollywood,
but Loretta Young goes on forever.
It seems like forever, anyway,
because she has been a star prac
tically all her life. They pointed
a camera at her for the first time
when she was only 13. She was
playing sizzling, pre-censorship
love scenes while studying eighth
grade arithmetic. v
“People always ask me how I've
been able to stick around for so
long,” she laughed.
“My only explanation is that
I'm fairly normal, that I like peo
ple and that I don’t fight with
anybody. A fight doesn’t stimu
late me ,like it does most actresses.

producers love you when you can’t
