i, Showdown on Biddle
¥ BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—The Senate Foreign Relations|
Committge may be taking President Harry Tru
man off of a barbed and rusty hook by refusing to
do anything about confirming former Attorney
General Francis Biddle for the $20,000 a year tax
free job as U. S. representative on the UN Social
and Ecohomic Council, to succeed John G. Winant.
. The President nominated Biddle for this job last
.ianuary. Republicans in the Senate gave it silent
treatment for a few months. Then the President
was asKed to withdraw the nomination. He refused,
and another showdown fight such as the President
had with Ed Pauley became necessary.
. Under urging from Democratic Senators Alben B.
Barkley of Kentucky and Tom Connally of Texas,
Chairman Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan agreed]
so have Biddle before the Foreign Relations Com=
mittee to explain his political views. Biddle is re-;}
ported to have let on that he-wasn’t the 100 per cent
New Dealer he was supposed to be—even though
it was known that he and Harold Ickes were ring—“
leaders with CIO-PAC in supporting Henry Wallace
for vice president at Chicago in 1944, Biddle's de
fense was that he had opposed Roosevelt’s court
packing plan and the NRA. :
_ This apparently got an “uh-huh” from the Re
publican majority of the committee, which decided
to pursue its past policy of doing nothing about the
Biddle appointment., This is perhaps the kindest
thing the committee could do. The fear that Biddle
is to 6 ardent a New Dealer to be confirmed for a
UN job is just window-dressing-polite stuff to show
the public in covering up an embarrassing situation.
Whag Harry Truman knows—what every senator
who served under his chairmanship on the War In
vestigating Committee knows—is that if the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee had to go into an all
out investigation of the former attorney general, it
would have to dig up a lot of skeletons.
- Twice before congressional committees have been
on the verge of investigating Biddle’s administra
tion of the Department of Justice in wartime. Both
cases were outgrowths of the Norman Littell affair
of 1944, :
Litfell had been assistant attorney general in
chdrge of the lands division under Biddle, Frank
Murphy, ar'd ‘Boéb 'JacKson.” Littell had given off
the record testimony to the Truman committee on
.a number of cases handled by the Department of
Juéticefthe. Breakers }'lotel _case, Sterling Products,
‘Empire Ordnance, Savannah Shipyards, Elk Hills,
Canol Pipeline, and surplus property disposal. All
‘Wwere notorious scandals of the early war years. |
. The brunt of Littel]l’s testimony reflected no great
eredit on Biddle. In fact, they attempted to make
anuch of Biddle’s close connections with Tommy
Corcoran and associates represented Sterling
Products, ‘Empire Ordnance: and Savannah Ship
yards among others.
Some. of this background has recently been dug
Jnt:o by Howard Ambruster and put between covers
of a book, “Treason’s’ Peace.” It's more about the
‘doings of the German 1. G. Farben dye trust than
it is about Biddle. But Steriing Producis was a
subsidiary of Farben, and the record of Biddle's
failure to prosecute this combination, forcing the
resignation of trust-buster Thurman Arnold in the
process, runs all through Ambruster’s expose.
For his testimoeny before the Truman Committee,
Littell was accused of disloyalty to the attorney
general, who asked for his resignation. When it was
refused, Biddle carried the case to the White House.
President Roosevelt settled it by firing Littell in
December, 1944. :
Democratjc Sen. Harley, Kilgore of West Virginia
and other members of the War Investigating Com
mittee favored opening up the whole case and donng
a job on Bjdd.le, to purge the party. But Harry Tru
man had in the meantim'e been elected vice presi
dent_and Sen. James M. Mead of New York had
sucdceeded him as chairman of the War Investigating
Committee. Not ‘wanting to wash his party’s dirty
linen in public, Mead dropped the issue, e
CONGRHSSIONAL HUMOR
' In a footnote to a recent aritcle by Sen
’ator Alexander Wiley in the New York
‘Times Magazine, the editors explain that
one of the Wisconsin senator’s pet ideas
is to dress up the Congressional Record in
a snappier format and have it sold to the
‘public. .
~ Mr. Wiley’s article, we assume, is a sort
of trial balloon. Titled “Congress Has Its
Fun,” it consists of nifties culled from
House and Senate debate and now avail
able only to the Record’s limited reader
ship.
But it is possible that the senator’s sam
ples have kicked his pet idea in the head.
Maybe today’s Americans, nourished on
the one-line gag, aren’'t geared to the
tempo of frock-coated congressional wise
cracks. At any rate, it's hard to imagine
the New Yorker's editors feeling per
turbed after reading them, or to predict
a sudden public clamor for the Congres
sional Record.
The senator seems to have some doubts
himself. He starts out with a provocative
bit of promotion: “Clever repartee, witty
punning, funny yarns—these are grist for
the congressional mi 11.,” But a half dozen
lines later he loses heart: “To be sure,
gome of them (the jokes) may appear
comparatively flat in print.” (Senator, you
ain’t kidding.)
“Congress Has Its Fun” contains such
mirthful moments as the time when Rep
resentative A starts out, “Does the gen
tleman ‘think—" and Representative B
interrupts him to remark, “Decasionally.”
(End of joke.)
But the real show-stopper should be
ineluded here in toto, complete with
names. It happened in the Senate when
Mr. Barkley had been discussing the
Green-Pepper amendment to.a labor bill.
Take it away, Senator Wiley. ; ‘
Mr. Tobey : “Has the senator been read
ing seed catalogs lately? He spoke about_‘;
green peppers.” {
Mr. Barkley: “I have not. I have been
80 busy lately that I have not been able
to do ‘any garden planning. Therefore, 1
have not been interested ... in red or
green peppers.”’
~ Mvr. Tobey: “The senator has-some Hot'
staff now.” ¥
Mr. Barkley: “I rejoice in hot stuff.”
Mr. Pepper: “Mr. President, will the
senator yield?” :
Mr. Barkley: “I yield.” Sor i
Mr Pepper: “Should not the senator
say to the senator from New Hampshire,
“Tobey sure’?”
Mr. Barkley: “I am not interested.in
whether it is ‘Red Pepper’ or ‘Tobeyasco,’
both of which I enjoy.”
Mr. Wiley says that even “tame jokes’
relieve congressional tensions and dis
solvé them in gales of laughter. Such
jokes, we feel, will alse tend to give the
average radio comedian a new stature.
~ Having digested “Congress Has Its
Fun,” we can only say .t«hat we ecare not
‘who makes the nation’s laws if only the
‘making of the nation’s jokes can be en
trusted to capable characters like Fred
‘Allen and Bob Hope. b
HIGH CRIMES IN THE USSR
Russia’s abolition .of the death sentence
ig interesting to Americans as an indica
tion of the current Soviet state of mind.
The action seems to signify an increased
self-confidence on the part of the govern
ment and added public. support of that
government.
But perhaps more interesting to Amer
jcans is the knowledge that the death sen
tence formerly was réserved almost ex
clusively to punish crimes against the
state. Under the 1926 code premeditated
murder carried only one.to 10 years' loss
of liberty—a precedent which reportedly
continued until later and broader laws.
This is only another example of the
individual’s status under the supreme
state setup which the Soviet government
is pleased to call democracy.

In Nylon Hunt ¢
Made Tervlene
MANCHESTER, England — A
researcher’s curiosity over sci
ence’s failure to make one test in
its long hunt for the nylon for
mula has been turned into the
success of Terylene, a synthetic
fabric. ;
The story of the development
of the new si'k-like material that
can be laundered and ironed
without special precautions has
been revealed after six years of
secret work by Dr. J. T, Dickson,
20-vear-old chemist,
The “missing link” in the ny
lon chain from which Terylene
was invented was terephthalic
acid, says the Briilish Information
Services.
In 1940 J. R. Whinfield, re
search manager of the Calico
Printers’ Association at Accring
ton, in the heartof the Lancash-~
ire cotton country, was reading
the technical report on the dis
ccvery of nylon. He read careful_
ly the details of the 12 years’ ex
periments by the American sci
entist, Dr. W. H. Carothers, to
creat, an artificial substance hat
would be superior to real silk.
Whinfield noticed that, among
the long detaileg Tist of expe
riments which had failed be
fore the successful formula was
finally hit on_ there was no
mention of terephthalic acid
having been tried.
This acid had been more or
less neglected by physicists en
gageq in plastics research, But
Whinfield had a theory that, like
the acetates range, which had
been neglecteg for years till they
proved highly important in
plastics, terephthalic acid might
be a “missing link” in finding an
even better synthetic substance.
Accordingly, he assigned four
of his chemists to develop his
idea. It was ‘tall Dr. Dickson,
then a 23-year-cld graduate
fresh from Edinburgh University
who was soon hottest on the
trail. He found that a synthetic
fiber he had created, using tere
phthalic acig and ethylené glycol,
cculd resist a tremendous amount
of ‘heat. This indicated practical
possibilities, and ,that it could be
ironed.
There, was atense scene in
the laboratory. At the crucial
moment, a glass rod was dip
ped into the molten liquid and
~as liguid streamed off the
glass it cooled into a strip of
solid fiber. The scientist lifted
it at either end and stretched
it to five times its original
length,
8y.1944 it was being = tested
tinder every condition by a full
seale research staff at Imperial
Chemical Industries. Today, hun
dreds of other chemists, techni
cians and engineers are working
in ‘texti%e, plants all over Britain
to put Terylene on fthe market.
Fabrics produced from Tery
lene. resemble silk, but ! differ
from ‘eithe~ rayon cr nylon. Ex
ceedingly+ fine filaments can be
made as well as heavy course
filaments.
It is expected to be available
in forms other than fiber, such
as film, extruded sections and
molding powders.
