Monday, June S. 1944 CAPITOL PAGE BOY FORCED TO DIVIDE SAURY IS CLAIM Washington, June 5 (U.R) Radio Commentator Drew Pear son charged last night that Rep. Richard Kleberg, D., Tex., had secured the dismissal of Robert Jackson, 13, a c?pitol page boy, after the youth's mother "pro tested that her son had to kick back $39 a month to the con gressman." Pearson quoted in his weekly broadcasts from an affidavit by the boy's mother, Mrs. Ray Jackson, in which she said: "I. told Mr. Kleberg that I thought he probably did not know about the arrangement. Mr. Kleberg replied that he knew all about the matter, and it was not unusual for congress men to bear the burden of their offices through such deduc tions." Kleberg confirmed that he had talked to Mrs. Jackson but said that "I told her I didn't know a thing about it that such things were harifcUed by my secretarial staff." $39 Kicked Back Pearson said that Mrs. Jack son charged in her affidavit that "every month when the got his check for $129, he was told to cash it and then hand $39 back to Kleberg's secre tary." "Last month," Pearson add ed, "Robert's mother decided to tell Congressman Kleberg what was happening, thinking that he might not know about it. But he replied that he did know, and that this kick-back salary was used to bear the bur den of his office. Three days later, Robert Jackson was fired. Congressman Kleberg is the A great American, Mr. Justice Holmes, once said to America's commander-in-chief: "There's only one thing to do In a war. Form your battalions and carry the fight to the en emy!" Our battalions tare carried the fight to the enemy before be could carry it here Hence no headlines : "Spokane Bombed !" . . . "San Francisco Doomed !" . . . "Los Angeles Falls!" For that, alone, we homcfolkj owe a debt beyond all paying. Ask any Russian woman! Ask any English mother! Soon, however, we can make I token payment. But money's no good. We must pay in work. Hard work! Extra work! Vaca tion work! Sure, we're already neck-deep in war-effort. But with eleven million men gone to war, we're elected. Here's how it is. Where our battalions have carried the fight they can't live oft the country. Not in New Guinea. Not in Italy! Not, certainly, in mid Pacific. From the valleys of Cal ifornia, the fields of Oregon and Washington, the range of the entire West, we must pass the ammunition food. Food battalions are now forming. If you're able-bodied, you're asked to join. In field, orchard and cannery, a crisis will come" -with harvest. Yet the attack must start now. Everything depends on people planning their vacations so they can work in the crops; this ma jot campaign is too complicated to handle on the spur of the moment. Hence your commun ity Wartime Han est Council al ready is on the job. See it now. Our battalions and they include our allies have carried the fight to the enemy. They've kept the homeland safe. But thty can't fight if they don't eat The food will be here. Vie must pet it there! There's-only one thing to do!

Washington, June 5 U.R) Puerto Rican groups seeking more autonomy from the United States emerged today as the ma jor critics among the world's subject peoples of Secretary of State Cordell Hull's recent state ment on liberty and freedom for all people. Spokesmen for all major sub ject people East Indians, Kore ans and Filipinos as well as Puer to Ricans hailed the statement, but Professor Rafael Soltero Per alta, a member of a Puerto Rican delegation here seeking permis sion for Puerto Ricans to frame their own constitution, said: "I do not doubt the sincerity of Mr. Hull or the United States government and I agree that the United States record Is fairly good, particularly regarding the Philippines, but Mr. Hull would not be able to cite the case of Puerto Rico as good evidence of his assertion."

(SDecial Corresnondence) With Lend-Lease commitments ap proaching in value $25,000,000, 000, it would seem that our financial backing of our allies in terms of war materials, food and probably in an undisclosed amount of gold is nearing a maximum. Reserve Lend-Lease will provide a small credit against the final sum. The ex port of armaments may decline from here on; but shipment; of food, clothing, building materi als and other items for civilian rehabilitation will increase as more territory comes under allied government. Already plans are being form ulated for the disposition abroad after the war, of surplus U. S. motor equipment. Similar plans will be devised for the gift or sale of other war equipment adapted to civilian use. As in the case of France after World War I, nations allied with the U.S.A. in World War II, as well as the smaller countries first to feel Hitler's blows, will profit greatly from our government's generosity. Vast Extent of Foreign Relief I believe we are safe 1,1 as suming that U. S. foreign Relief after the war in terms of adapt able or reconverted war mater ials, in food, clothing, Red Cross aid and, government grants, in i cash plus loans and credits will reach additional astronomical billions. It may total as much as Lend-Lease does today. Further more, as the U. S. will perhaps be the only allied nation un touched by the physical damage and misery of the war, we will rightly be expected to bear the major part of the over-seas post war repair bill. The first fttuep nf relipf will be the feeding and sheltering of j the homeless and starving oeo pie of continental Europe. Both present friends and foes may be included In this group.

Perhaps some ;ears after the war, when the necessi ties of rebuilding the entire world's economic structure be come more clearly defined, U. S. investors may have a part to play. However, in the immediate postwar period our help should constitute outright gifts or sales of materials at cost, The invest ment of capital should for the present be avoided. What About Foreign Capital Investment? In the course of a lifetime of supervising investing, I have, at one time or another, seen my clients own all kinds of foreign securities. These have contested principally of governments, mu nicipals and utility bonds. I have also seen them own foreign railroad and mining stocks. They have ranged far afield o Germany, Russia, Japan, Mex ico, and Latin-American coun tries. As I look back over these experiences, I doubt If they ever netted a dime out of their for eign holdings.

But for many years I am afraid that Uncle Sam may be looked upon as a Santa Claus or as a senile old man who foolishly risks his money abroad but who will be too proud or too feeble to In sist upon an adequate return for his support. Some Suggested Steps With Common Sense Our government and our peo ple should not become hipped on the idea that we should be come the outstanding leaders m world affairs. Destiny has called us to play a decisive part in World War II, but we should not consider it as a permanent job. Washington has had a lot of New Deal experience with out-and-out relief; but Washing ton knows nothing about the in vestment of capital. Such for eign investments should now be resisted as we would resist the plague. It further Is entirely possible that after 1049- we may have some years of severe depression which will require all of cur resources to overcome. As con gress is now fast draining our own Industries of working capi tal, they will soon require all of our accumulated savings. U. S. unemployment and the fulfill ment of civilian requirements will also require vast amounts of money. Hence, I trust that a little Yankee common sense may prevail and that we may not entirely expend our heri tage! One thing more: Example is much more potent than pre cept. In the long run we can do the world the most good by put ting our own accounts in order. This will not be a selfish thing for us to do, but it will be for the good of the entire world to see one nation run honestly, intelligently and efficiently with justice for all and favoritism to none. E Washington, June 5 (U.R) The story of a battle between an American war freighter and a Japanese -flown American plane, in which the latter was destroyed, was disclosed today by the War Shipping adminis tration. The action took place several weeks ago in the New Guinea area and involved the Liberty ship Stephan Crane and a P-38 fighter-bomber which had been salvaged by the Japs.

FAT NEED CRITICAL HOUSEWIVES TOLD Washington, June 5 U.R) The Office of War Information said today the government is in ; critical need or salvage tais and called on housewives to turn in 230.000.000 pounds from their kitchens this year more than twice the 1943 salvage. Salvage fats accounted for 100,000,000 pounds in 1943, or five per cent of the industrial need, Owl said, but demands have gone still higher this year. The fats are used in making glycerine for explosives, sulfa drugs, soap and other important items. ROMANCE BLOOMS Hollywood, June 5.
