European Observers Can Draw Some
Queer Conclusions From U. S. Events
BY PETER EDSON
WASHINGTON— (NEA)-—You
never ¢an tell how American poli=
tical events are going to be in ter
preted abroad. For instance, take
Secretary of State Dean Acheson’s
now famous statemen’ that, what
ever the outcome us the Alger Hiss
case, “I do not intend to turn my
back on him.” The statement was
roundly criticized by many con
gressmen and others. But one
French newspaper correspondent
in Washington cabled his Paris
gaper that France could consider
erself lucky in having Dean Ach
eson for a friend. He would never
turn his back on France, nor let
her down.
SLOW BUT SURE
Last Dec. 15, Joseph E. Moody,
president of the Southern Coal
Operators, sent a letter to, Pres-
Truman, Moody wrote that there
was a eoal crisis, and asked the
President to ir.voke the Taft-
Hartley law. There was no answer
to the letter, an® the White House
let it be known that it frowned on
Moody’s making the letter public
before it had been received. News
men told Mcody, “If you ever get
an answer to thatdetter ,be sure to
let 1 s know.” When, seven weeks
later, the President finally invok
ed tile Taft-Hartley law, Moody
called up reporters and said glee=-
fully, “I finally got my answer,”
POTATO STATE POLITICS -
Thir untold story is typical of
the way “potato politics” is play
ed in Washington: Towards the
ent of the War, Sen. Owen Brew
ster of Maine went to see the then
secretary of agriculture, Clinton B.
Anderson. Brewster made a plea
fors continued price suppo:t
for the potato growers of his state,
The senator, of course, had a per
fect right, if not a duty, to do this
for his constituents,
But the story goes that Secre
tary Anderson told the senator
that if the government had to con
tinue buying surplus potatoes,
they would have to be dumped and
destroyed. The senator recoiled in
horror at the mere thought of any
such wasting of precious food.
A little later. on the potato grow=
ers came up with the idea that if
these patatoes were stacked in the
field and allowed to freeze, then
covered with straw, they would
keep all winter. If some of the
sound .d..THmdR, D 5
spuds on the outside rotted and
spoiled, they mighe be destroyed.
But the theory was that the po
tatoes which kept would be given
away in the spring. o
So it was done that way. The
only difficulty was that nearly all
the potatoes spoiled and had to be
dumped. Whereupon the potato
state senator made a speech de
nouncing the Department of Agri
culture for buying . potatoes and
then allowing them to rot in the
fields.
PUZZLE OF THE
TRAVELING PETS
After five years of arguing, the
case of the wartime State Depart
ment employe’s wife who wouldn’t
travel without her two dogs and a
cat, and sued the government for
their per diem expenses and travel
allowance, has at last been settled
for $450.
The case concerned Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. M. Pedersen of Wash
ington. Mr. Pedersen is now an
intelligence officer in the Penta
gon, but during the war he was
stationed in Ankara, Turkey, for
the State Department. Mrs. Peder
sen was there with him, In May,
1945, they were ordered home,
They traveled by way of Cairo,
and got their three animals that
far without trouble,
On May 14 1945, the U. S, vice
consul at Cairo arranged for Mr.
Pedersen to fly back to the U. S,
leaving Mrs. Pedersen and pets in
Cairo. If Mrs. Pedersen had con
sented to travel without pets, her
transportation could have Been
arranged quickly. But, said she, “I
traveled my whole life with dogs
and cats.” Other diplomats had
traveled with dogs and cats. She
wouldn’t budge without hers. She
won her point.
At Port Sald, while waiting for
transporation, she got in bad with
an innkeeper because he said she
insisted on bathing the two dogs in
the public baths. One was a Skye,
the other a Blue Chow. The cat
was a Persian and presumably
washed itself, as cats do. Finally
an American freighter came along
whose captain consented to carry
Mrs. Pedersen and pets. It was
July 6 when U. S. consulates at
Cairo and Port Said closed their
books on l'affaire Pedersen. .
But Uncle Sam wasn’t through
with the case yet. When Mrs. Ped
ersen got back to the U. S., Mr.
Pedersen put in a claim for a per
