Brownell Given
Full Authority
By GOP Leaders
By John I Cutter
(TtnlUd Press SUff Correspondent)
Indianapolis, Jan. 23 U Re
publican National Chairman
Herbert Brownell, Jr., returned to
New York today carrying virtu
ally unlimited authority to direct
GOP national campaign activities
for four years and a new set of
principles for which he believes
the party should stand.
The authority was voted by the
republican national committee
after Brownell submitted in gen
eral terms an eight-point program
for putting campaign activities
on a full-time basis instead of a
few months at election time.
He proposed a general strength
ening of the entire party organi
zation and won authorization to
take whatever steps he deemed
necessary.
Principles Outlined
Although he proposed that the
national organization leave policy
formation to elected republicans
in congress and the state govern
ments, he took the occasion to
outline the principles for which
i i it . i , . . . . i j
t lit; ueuevcs me ptu ty auuuiu
stand. His views, submitted dur
ing a closed meeting were made
public after he had won endorse
ment of his organizational plans.
The full text of his remarks in
the closed session revealed that
Brownell outlined three main
principles on which he believes
the domestic welfare of the coun
try depends. He listed:
1. A representative, constitu
tional form of government.
2. A creative and productive
free enterprise economy.
3. A government dedicated to
the efficient assumption of its so
cial, humanitarian and economic
responsibilities.
Party Creed Offered
He offered it as a party creed
with the declaration:
"Our policy must be: Whatever
is best for the United States is
good politics for the republican
party."
Brownell said a representative
constitutional form of govern
ment should be one which pro
tects the rights of the minority
as fervently as those of the ma
jority and is directed by duly
elected officials who must answer
to their constituents through reg
ular elections.
He described creative and pro
ductive free enterprise as the eco
nomic process which the United
States has found to be the most
' efficient and productive of the
greatest economic achievements
with a minimum impairment of
personal liberties.
Federal Policies Presented
On the third point, "govern
ment assumption of social, .hu
manitarian and economic respon
sibilities," he spoke at length on
the part that government should
play in such an economic system.
"Government should and must
Intervene in our economic sys
tem," he said.
For examDle. he said that the
government should create, main
tain and operate such things as
roads, public parks, schools, pub
lic health programs, public Insti
tutions and such other activities
"which do not lend themselves to
the application of the profit or
private wealth-creating tech
niaues." ;
In addition, he said that gov
ernment must police the economic
system as a whole to the end that
in the aggregate it is operated for
the welfare of the public.

Port Angeles, Wash., Jan. 23 (IP)
Elizabeth Drewry, 25-year-old

The Derbyshire adventuress.
who aspired to become a pilot, hit
the headlines in November of
1943 when she curled up in the
nose-wheel of a Liberator bomber
in Scotland and rode for free
to Canada.
She received her pilot's license
in Seattle but found it useless
when the army air force dis
charged women ferry pilots, so
she returned to Canada to work
in a port grain elevator.
Dressed in men's work clothes,
Elizabeth slipped aboard a Rus

"go to Russia so I could fly a
soviet transport."
The girl said she hid for three
days without food and water and
finally gave herself up to the
Russian captain who appealed to
the U. S. coast guard to rescue
the attractive stowaway.

Harry Truman
Othman Finds
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Fw Suit Corrwpondent)
Washington, Jan. 23 UiHarry
S. Truman turns out to be a two
gavel man, wlthji loud voice to
boot, and I believe he'll make a
first class vice-president.
The boys applauded when he
eased himself for the first time
into the senate's fancy chair with
the cantilever construction and
the padded arms, seat and back.
The chaplain prayed over him and
the next thing the senate knew,
Truman was banging both his
gavels, one with a handle and one
without, demanding a little quiet.
I nearly broke my neck, lean
ing over the- press gallery rail for
an unobstructed look at the new
vice-president, but I caught my
self in time and can report that he
showed up in a tailor-made, black,
double-breasted suit, a neatly fold
ed handkerchief in the breast
pocket (he used to be a Kansas
City haberdasher and is careful

haircut.
He also brought with him the
rules book, known as the Senute
Manual, and unfolded It at page
one; this volume was well-thumbed,
dog-eared, and useful in the
oratorical pinches.
The chaplain said In his prayer
that Truman was taking up a his
toric gavel. He certainly was.
In his left hand Truman fondl
ed what was left of the gavel that
John Adams, the first vice-president,
brought to the senate in
1789. The handle disappeared
more than 100 years ago, when a
forgotten but irate vice-president
banked too hard. Nobody ever did
fit a new handle and to this day
the official senatorial gavel con
sists of a nubbin of ivory, nicked
around the edges.
A few years back the nicks look

cracks and the senate reinforced

president clutches this gavel like
a brick-bat, pounds with it on his
blue baize desk, and hopes that
the arguing senators will pay at
tention. Truman look no chances. He
brought along a second gavel,
made of wood and complete with
handle, and kept that in his tight
hand, except when he had to auto
graph documents for the senators.
He signed his name to a number
of bills. He also signed a photo
graph of himself in sepia finish
for Senator Elmer Thomas of
Oklahoma, who furnished the
photo.
Then he shook a number of sen
atorial hands and had his back
slapped and all the time Sen. Wil
liam Langer of North Dakota was
trying to make a speech, but get
ting nowhere, because everybody
else also was talking. The new
vice president suddenly banged
both his gavels and cried: "Quiet
pu-leeze!" He got results.
Sen. James E. Murray of Mon
tana said speeches seemed to be
In order and he wanted to make
one, too. Truman looked In his
book and said he could, if nobody
objected. Murray started talking:

so did most of his cohorts. Tru
man pounded the gavel with the
handle.
"Let's have order," he said.
"The senator is making a very
Important speech and he deserves
to be listened to."
Truman took a firm grip then
on both his gavels and glared at
the lawmakers through his gold
rimmed eyeglasses and not one of
them tried any parliamentary
tricks. That's a good sign. I think
this new vice president has got
'em buffaloed.
