Y April 7 This man McCarthy reminds one of the "unsinkable Mrs. Brown." Nothing could get Mrs. B. down, including hell and highwater. Nothing can sink the unspeakable McCarthy. Not in the memory of the present writer has any member of congress, lower or nigner, Been as completely discredited as mis low-brow Irishman from Wisconsin. Not a simile serious charee he has made against his "topmost Russian spy" Owen Lattimore OR ANYONE ELSE has been sustained. His entire story is plainly a frameup and a mess of flimsy half-truths if not outright lies. He nas not, only demonstrated ne nas no rcgara ior me irmn, no re gard for what harm he may do to innocent people or to his country by his falsifications, but no regard lor tne ordinary rules ot de cency, self respect or fair play. But does all this faze the ex GI? Not that anyone can observe. Yesterday we had the pleasure of observing the junior senator irom Wisconsin miner ciuftciy viu leicviaiuu. nui muy uiu mi. unm more make a liar and a monkey out of McCarthy, but verbally skinned him alive. But while the Wisconsin senator appeared some what sobered at times, the man s colossal nerve never laltered not outwardly at least. And when It was all over he could hardly wait to get in touch with the newspaper men, and excitedly main- lain mat me witness nau not expiuineu wny ne ijwuiinuie, lunuw ed the Moscow line regarding China word for wordl He added (McCarthy) would take the train to New York where he would secure witnesses of reliable character who would swear Mr. Latti more had been a member of the Communist party in good standing. Finally he placed Senator Tidings of Maryland, chairman of the senate sub-committee, in his Ananias club, and again resorted to his favorite alibi that unless all the FBI secret files were made public which he realizes won't be done the falsity of his own charges could not be established. What can be done with a bird like that? It has this department stumped. Perhaps a good psychiatrist could explain the strange phenomenon. We can t. It is rather surprising that in this man's town there are no television theaters, run along the same lines as movie theaters. Boston has such a theater or did during the world series last October. But if there is one here we have been unable to find it and none of the big movie chains know about it. Nor the news papers. We finally got in on the television of the Lattimore hearing in Washington, thanks to CBS. For a time we had the television room all to ourselves, a most attractive and comfortable place, but around the luncheon hour a few of the CBS girls and boys came in to have a look-see. One of them even offered to have cotlee ana sandwiches sent up, but we decided, we had examined the bicus pids of the gift horse enough without assuming the role of star boarder. We first considered takine a trip down to Washington to at tend this sub-committee meeting in person, but finally gave it up. A wise decision. Doubtful if we could have secured a pass, and if we had, ' lere would have been standing room only for any late arrivals. The neonle were packed in the committee room like sar dines in a can, and our guess is at least 99 per cent were Washing ton news men or news photographers. As it was vour correspondent had a ringside seat, in a com fortable over-stuffed chair, with a close-up of all the important nnrtieinants. and everv word coming over clear as a bell. As tele vision improves and it will, of course the time may well come uinm npwsnancr men will rpnort such meetings, including political conventions and the like, without leaving their offices why should they when they can get a more satisfactory close-up without the expense of travel or the trouble of getting within proper eye-and-ear shot, of the bigger goings-on? (If we were starting out in busi ness today we would go into some branch of television. It is prob ably in about the undeveloped situation now that the automobile business was when the late Henry Ford was chugging about in his first "tin Lizzie!") Mr. Lattimore, as stated .above, made an excellent witness. He was perhaps a trifle too bitter and personal at times, but when one considers what he has suffered as a result of the irresponsible and unfounded accusations of this self-seeking wild Jackass from Wis consin, such excessive vehemence was no doubt excusable. There was no doubt of the excellent impression the witness made upon the assembled crowd. When me head ot me waiter page rouncia tion ended his statement there was a loud outburst of applause, which even the gavel pounding of Chairman Tidings failed to check though judging by the pleased expression on the committee chairman's face, his failure to do so had certain emotional com pensations! Mrs. Lattimore sat behind her husband and beamed with pride throughout older looking than her husband, hair quite gray, but a strong and intelligent face. Not far away was the "living Buddaha" a Mongolian with an unpronounceable name Lattimore had rescued from Tibet and taken to Baltimore for safe keeninir. The poor old Chinaman looked scared to death when the television ngnls opened up on him, his eyes darting around in his face and his mouth drooping as if he expected a lethal volley at any moment. The Buddha later told newsmen he prayed hard all the time for nis Denciactor.

The heavy news mese days is apt to be grim news. We have enough of that, good ness knows. A respite every now and then helps us to keep our Daiance. 'For a 10 per cent cut I can gel you all of that kind of work you can handlel" Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member of Congress From Oregon After three months of steady toil the house of representatives is taking a ten-day Easter recess. The daily calendar of the house issued on the day of adjourn ment for the recess lists, under the heading, "Status of Major Bills," only one piece of major legislation as having been com pleted into law thus far this year. That one bill was the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. This session has not been pro ductive of major legislation but it has not lacked production along other lines. For example, the house has had 132 roll calls (it takes 30 minutes to call the roll). Most of them were mere quorum calls. Last year it was not until July 21 that we had roll call number 132. Talk on the floor of both houses of congress has been quite ample thus far this session, also. The 96 senators by long odds out talked the 435 house mem bers. In fact, less than one fourth as many senators talked 30 per cent more pages into the Congressional Record than did the 435 members of the house. The senators talked 2,607 pages (about 4,U4u,d5u words), me house members 2,027 pages or some 3,141,850 words. But in volume of bills there has been plenty to talk about. Thus far this session 2,354 mea sures have been introduced in congress. committee callina for the author ization of an additional $10,000, 000 for this operation and we want to see why the government should invest that much more money in a strictly business enterprise. MY 2 Vi-year-old granddaughter was climbinc the stairs ves- terday for her noonday nap. She naa loaaea nerseit like a pack horse with dolls, teddv bears. woolly rabbits and the other mis cellany that at that age are es sential to sleep. The load wasn't very well bal anced, and about halfway up a doll toppled off. She couldn't spare a hand to pick it up. If she did, the rest' of the cargo would slip. She met the situation as many of us older ones have done. She blew up. "Oh damn!'' she said. WHERE they get it none of us know. It's funny the first time. After that, it presents prob lems, life is like that. A Can We Afford To Walt? To the Editor: Hitler's "Cold War" started some six years bc- inre snooting commenced. Wc did not call It by that name in the early 1930s. Totalitarian technique under the nazis has been repeated and made much more efficient by the Soviets. With the Hitler gang we paid In ui Diooa. s to nazi or soviet soles in U.S.A. Why are such aliens ad mitted? The late Dr. H. H. Laughlln or Larnegie Institute was con gress lorcmost immigration ex pert for over a quarter century He Insisted all immigrants should be screened euuen callv He advised demanding life his tories of blood relatives, other wise denying admission. He de clared that, since we already have sufficient U.S.A. labor, wc would be better off to admit no one until we had time to bar the Al Capones, the Moses Annen bergs, the Abe Hummels, the Bugsey Siegcls. One like Capone extracted siuu.ouu.ooo annually from commercialized vice. Can we not afford to wait till we screen? E. E. Grant San Francisco, Cal. METER SHOWERS DOWN Charlotte, N. C. U.R A park ing meter showered nickels when t wo cars collided and swerved into it. The coins dis appeared into the pockets of psetersby. Dr. Lattimore reminded us somewhat of ex-Senator Dulles of New York (incidentally much surprised to note in the morning paper that the former New York Senator has been rennnointerl as adviser on foreign affairs to the State Department. According to the grapevine this was a result of the insistence of Senator Van denberg and not particularly to the liking of President Truman.) Lattimore like Dulles, has a somewhat professorial academic way of speaking dry, precise, with a suggestion of a somewhat mordant irony which isn't exactly pleasing but where rebuttal to a person of the McCarthy type is Involved, scathingly effective. Both men have a strange sort of facial tic around the port side of the mouth, and an odd side-wheeling jaw movement which re minded your correspondent of an elderly English professor in an Ivy League college of many years back perhaps such peculiarities go with the scholarly type. At least both Lattimore and Dulles are definitely SCHOLARS deep and conscientious students of their special fields in foreign atlairs. Lattimore, to us at least, is the more human the more appealing. But our belief Is both men are genuinely needed as aids to their government at the present critical time one as a specialist In affairs in the Far East, the other in Europe. It Is to be hoped the services of both will be utilized to the fullest extent. We don't know who Senator MrCnrthv'c .nrir.n,it.t -t the hearing, but if one of his buddies, then the tableau presented was amusing. For this man was busily engaged in giving himself a most energetic and meticulous manicure whenever the television spotted that section. The operation not only occupied his entire at tention, but made it difficult to get a full view of his face. One got the definite Impression that the man, whoever he was, did not reusn the Idea of being identified on the TV screen as involved in the hearing In any way and particularly as a McCarthy adherent he was merely an Innocent bvstander. concernprl unl'ntv with the appearance of his manual extremities, not with the hearing in any way. The nonchalant fashion In which tho Npu Vnrlr nnmnn of Republican persuasion are showing in word and picture that the gangster slaylngs In Kansas City occurred In a building on rruman street" and near an oil painting of the present occupant of the White House, might also be added to the contemporary human comedy. No conclusions or accusations, of course, Just the visual facts! R.W.R. In and Around Butte Falls Butte Falls Apr. 11 Fred Kin caid has returned from a business trip to Portland.

HERE IS A auote that should be put up on billboards all over the United States: General Dwieht Eisenhower says: "Those individuals seeking to centralize power in the federal government are more dangerous to our form of government than any foreign threat that can possibly be ar- rauarl aonlitcl ,,c ' ubu,,,o via. see THE GIANT appropriations bill (431 pages), which I have mentioned previously in these letters, will not be acted upon until after the Easter recess of the house. Earlier there was an attempt on the part of the chair man of the appropriations com mittee to get the bill acted upon before the recess. Republican members sought to delay action for two reasons. First, it was felt that majority members of the house would be more inclined to vote for reducing amendments after visiting at home a while. Secondly, since the bill is so large and the committee report so voluminous, some delay was sought to give the members on both sides of the aisle a chance to get better Informed on what is in the bill. It is fairly certain, however, that the appropriations bill will be passed and sent to the senate betore the end oi this month. Meanwhile the senate ap propriations committee has been holding hearings on the various chapters of the bill and will be in position to report its version of the bill in a fairly short time. e e e I CANNOT MAKE the long trip to Oregon for the Easter recess but I am going with mem bers of my committee, the com mittee on Interstate and foreign commerce, to look over the equipment and operation of the Inland Waterways Corporation, a government-owned transporta tion line operating on the Miss issippi.

PAUL WINTER was telling me the other day of a sien he'd just seen in a service station. It read: ve iss so soon old und so late schmardt." Isn't it the truth! By the time we are smart enough to know our way around, we're old enough to die. VOU probably noted that over at Klamath it snowed the day before Easter. At our coffee hour that morn ing, the snow came uo for satiri cal comment. "I'm going to sleep till noon tomorrow, even if it is Easter," Buster Bramlett contrib uted disgustedly. "My youngster isn't old enough for that,' George Godard cnippea in. 1 sometimes wonder if the Great Architect didn't slip a stroke when he was drafting out our rising habits. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the tots could sleep nait tne morning and the oldsters could roll out at the crack of dawn full of zip and zing? In any gathering in these days, the census taker is pretty sure to De aragged into the conversation soon or late. This year they seem to be asking how much your house is worth. One young woman, queried on that point the other day, was stumped. "I dont nave any idea," she said. "Why don't you ask my husband?" "Oh, 1 don t think that will be necessary,' the census worker replied. "I'll just make an estimate." His estimate was $9,000. The couple had put something like $40,000 into remodeling it, and the lady was considerably upset. "Do you reckon we got gypped on the job?" she asked. THIS census business is funny. Every fifth person, or some thing like that, has to be asked how much he makes. Why does tho census bureau want to know that? I wouldn't know. The in come tax bureau has it all down in the files, anyway. I s'pose that's just the way governments work. SOME time back, they started asking if you had a radio in tne nouse. w n y : Again i wouldn't know. We newspaper people had a cynical notion it was because the radio people wanted to use the census fig ures to show how many radios there wer eso they could sell more advertising. We weren't shaken any in that notion by the fact that as soon as the census figures were out they start using em to promote the sale of radio advertising. We suspected at the time that the way that question got into the list was that some radio guy trotted over to the census bu rear and said to some acquaint ance: "Hey, Bud, how about ask ing everybody this time if they've got a radio?" The ways of government are often wierd and wonderful. WANTED THE WORKS Lowell, Mass.
