Harold Ickes Probably Wrote
Himself Right Out of gai Job
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON-—Any idea that Harold L. Ickes
might be called back for a fat government job may
have been kicked in the head—by Ickes himself.
The Washington rumor factory had it all doped out
that Ickes would be rewarded for his pre-election
endorsement of Truman. What wasn’t known is
that Ickes practically repudiated Truman in one of
his columns, written just before election for pub
lication just after. Wrote Ickes:
“Harry S. Truman, the seventh of the American
presidents by chance, was able to win a nomina
tion at the end of his broken term. And he failed
of re-election. . . . One may regret that he did not
have about him advisers who were able coolly to
appraise the situation and tell him he could not
win.”
The article containing these lines was killed in
all U S. newspapers. But it got printed in the
Panama Star and Herald on Nov. 7, five days after
election. Clippings have found their way back to
Washington and are being circulated with great
glee in places where they will do Ickes the least
good. -
CABINET GOSSIP DISCREDITED e
Most of the gossip about imminent Truman
cabinet changes has now been generally discredited.
The rumors were started principally by people who
wanted the jobs themselves, or who wanted present
jobholders removed for purely selfish reasons. The
President may have missed a chance to strike a
blow for unity in his official family by not spiking
rumors before they got started.
* & %
The move to get Dean Acheson made secretary
of state, which had a lot of backing from minor
officials in the State Department, received quite
a setback when lawyer Acheson appeared in Chi
cago as an attorney for the DuPonts in an anti
trust investigation.
& % %
Federal Security Administrator Oscar Ewing,
who wants to be first secretary of the proposed new
cabinet Department of Health and Social Welfare,
is now handling his own public relations problems.
Telephone calls that used to go to the FSA press
section are now shunted right to Ewing's office. He
has agreed to stay in his office till 6 o’clock every
night to take calls from morning newspaper cor
respondents who may have late stories to write.
Ewing recently got some bad ‘publicity over the
hiring of a lunch-time cook for his private office
dining room. Controller General Lindsay Warren
said it was unauthorized and should be stopped.
This may be one reason Ewing has decided to be~
come his own press man.
GCROWERS’ TWE6 HATED SOUNDS
When Interior Secretary J. A. Krug was making
his western states’ inspection, a California farmer
came up to him after yne meeting to urge early
completion of the Central Valley project. “You
know,” said the farmer, “there are two sounds
which a grower hates to hear above all others. One
ig the cry of his baby, awake in the night with the
colic. The other is the coughing of his irrigation
pump, telling him there is no more water in the
well for his crops.”

Many unusual details are still being discovered
in election returns, as they receive closer study.
One such is the Calffornia voters’ apparent éndorse
m;nt of the Bureau of Reclamation-administered
law limiting inq,lvidual holdings of irrigated land
to 160 acres. Wguman carried the state, including
Los Angeles Coutinty and Kern and Fesno Counties,
which have big interwsts in irrigation and public
power projects. Orarge County, outside the Central
Valley, went. for Dewey.
B% % &
Williara 'T. Balker, editor of the Daily Chronicle
in Ketchikan, Alaska, has drawn up what he calls
a “laughidavit” for any tenderfoat wanting to enter
the territory in the future. Baker says the Demo
cratic~-controlled federal government holds 99.64
per cent of the lands in Alaska, 99.79 per cent of
the jobs and 100 per cent of the natural resources.
Therefore, any Republican coming to Alaska from
a state that went for Dewey in the last election will
have to be fingerprinted and post SSOOO bond. Also,
he will have to solemnly swear on the laughidavit
form that “I shall henceforth never say anything
seditious against Missouri, the Missouri waltz, or
the Missouri mule, while in the bounds of Alaska.”
On the other hand, if the immigrant can prove he
voted Democratic for the past 12 years, he will be
givex; the key to the Mother Lode.

Morals In The Armed Forces
President Truman has named the Civil
Advisory Commisgion on religious and
mora! welfare and character guidance for
the armed forces. Every loyal American
will fook to this commission, not for a
mere paper recommendation as to what
should he done and then a torgetfulness
as to carryving out what is recommended.
The Army, Navy and Air Force are not
entirely to blame for falling down on this
job. The American civilians have their
part to play in this work and they have
not shown up well as to interest exhibited
or the support they should have given.
The lapses in moral and religious be
havior in the armed forces are not so dif
ferent from the conduct of comparable
civilian groups, which could bring about a
different condition if they desired. The
armed foreces can do a better job than
they have done, but fully half of the bur
den of bringing about better conditions is
on civilian shoulders.
When our young men go into serviee
they are as a rule far removed from fam
ilies, friends, acquaintances and the sui
roundings of the communities in which
they lived. There is a tendencyy to irre
sponsibility. They need the guiding hand
and the realization that they owe a duty
to the folks back home as well as the duty
to fight when necessary. i
More. than half of them come from
homes in which they have had religious
training, from communities in which
moral standards are high, and with proper
infiuences thrown about them in the
armed forces, they are less likely to de
part from the principles of their home
training.
Raising Pedigreed Mice
Mice are generally regarded as among
the worst enemies of mankind. They dc
unmeasured damage in hundreds of glirec
tions. Scientists are busy devising ways in
which to get rid of them.
And yet in some ways they serve a use
ful purpose. They are of great assistance
to biologists and are necessary to biologi
cal research in many ways. 'They are of
special use in testing out the effects of
many medicines.
About a year ago a {fire destroyed a
large part of Bar Harbor, Maine. In hat
disaster the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial
Laboratory was destroyed. Among other
things lost, were the records of some fifty
thousand pedigreed mice. More than one
hundred and fifty useful institutions were
vitally interested in those mice, especially
in the study of she genetics of cancer.
Something like a million dollars is needed
for the restoration of that plant for the
propagation of pedigreed mice. In a short
while the new laboratory will be equip
ped and running full tilt. ;
The teeming millions of ordinary rats
will be destroyed as best they may all
over the country, hut for the sake of re
search inj order to combat disease, these
pets of the rodent family will be pre
served and their numbers increased. As
has been pointed out by the scientists
they need pure biological material just as
a chemist needs pure elements and cont
pounds for his investigations. Just as there
are key industries on which hundreds of
industries are dependent for instruments
or special machinery, so there are key lab
oratories in biological research. .
Let the work of propagating pedigreed
mice go on, but as for the general run of
rodents, let’s proceed with ever increas
ing attention to the extermination of the
rat family. .
Universities, above all institutions in
society, must serve the cause of freedom,

longer afford not to have atomic aircraft.

The only worthwhile use for the life of
a traitor is to serve as an example to those
of weak moral fiber who might hereafter
be tempted to commit treason against the
United Saes. — Los Angeles Federal Dis

TSINGTAO WATCHES REDS
TSINGTAO, China.— (AP) —
For a city cut off from the land
ward side by a Chinese Commu
nist iron curtain, life goes on
with remarkable order and pla
cidity in this base for the U, 3.
Navy. There are always rumors
that the Reds will attack, drive
the big government garrison into
the sea, and force some sort of a
showdown with the U. S. Navy.
But they are just rumors.
General Wang Chi, American
educated depuly garrison com
mander who was a liaison offi
cer with General MacArthur
dyring the war, says the govern=-
ment can and will hold Tsingtao.
The government has a lot of
strength here, including a divis
ion trained on Formcsa under
American guidance.
Wang says the government
wants to strike out from here
aguinst the Communists, but
there isn’'t enough equipment to
go on the offensive. Wang wants
enough to ccuip two divisions
and until that is available he in
sists it is too risky to iry to move
out against the enemy. <
The U. S. Navy has its rumors
here too. The current one is that
the Navy is going to pull out.
This is denied from top to bot
tom but if it wanted to sacrifice
its limited shore installations, the
Navy could pick up and steam
out of Tsingtao within a few
hours. ‘
