This is the part of a 1951 Tax Calendar prepared
by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to include Wash

and circulated in the Territory by C. M. Latimer,
vice-president, Seattle-First National Bank.

anything can stop them. No mat
ter how many times you call them
to the White House to discuss for
eign policy, I doubt if it would do
any good. They wouldn't stay put.”
He seemed tired, old, and quite
discouraged.
Looking back on what has hap
pened since then, I can see that he1
was right.
Vandenberg's Cooperation
Vandenberg went on to say, in
our telephone conversation, that
when he was actively in the Sen
ate, there were constant conferences
and genuine teamwork between the
State Department and his Foreign
Relations Committee. As a result of
this teamwork, the North Atlantic
pact had been written and rewritten
about seven times.
"It really was a bipartisan foreign
policy then,” he said. "But there
doesn’t seem to be the same rela
tionship now between the State De
partment and the Hill.”
Part of this, I suspect, was due
to the fact that Vandenberg him
self was no longer in harness. For
his grasp of foreign adfairs was as
great as his prestige in the Senate.
Vandenberg and McCormick
History will attribute many great
things to Arthur Vandenberg—in
cluding passage of the Marshall
plan and the North Atlantic pact.
But perhaps Vandenberg’s greatest
achievement was the ability to
change his mind. Some statesmen
can’t do that. They get rigid and
immobile.
Vandenberg once told me how,
during the 1936 Republican conven
tion in Cleveland, Col. McCormick
of the Chicago Tribune had come
to him late one night to urge that
he run for vice president on the
Alf Landon ticket. McCormick was
then extremely close to Vanden
berg. Both were strong isolationists,
both saw eye-to-eye on most Re-1
publican policy.
The Michigan Senator, however,
refused. The incident illustrates
the closeness of their friendship,
which later was broken by Vanden
berg's desertion of the isolationist
cause.
That was the biggest political
change in Vandenbergs life. With
V-E Day, he saw that atomic weap
ons, long-range rockets and big
bombers had ended the traditional
isolation of the United States. Ab
ruptly, he deserted the Chicago
.Tribune bandwagon. The Tribune, j
I in turn, never forgave him. To the
| very end, its most scathing cartoons
■ were directed at Arthur Vanden
I berg, the turncoat.
In civilian life, the American
people do not usually fete their
political heroes. The politician is
so close to the people that they
see all his imperfections. He has to
battle daily in the public arena
where he gets soiled by the mud
and invective of political combat.
His statements cannot be censored;
the photographers snap him as
they will.
But though no pomp or circum
stance honored the closing days of
his life, Arthur Vandenberg de
serves all the tributes the Ameri
can people can give him. He will
go down as one of the great poli
tical heroes of our day.

Speculating General '
I A General whom the President
I did not fire, but recently promoted,
came in for hot cross-examination
behind the closed doors of the
Senate Armed Services Committee.
He is Maj. Gen. Wallace Graham,
the President's personal physician,
who was caught speculating on the
commodity market. Despite this,
he was promoted by Truman from
Brigadier to Major General.
Snapping back at heavy GOP i
cr*ss-questioning. General Graham I
testified: that he has stopped spec- |
ulating on the commodity market— I
since he was caught by the Sen
ate Investigating Committee in 19471
.... he spends "an average of two
j hours per day” with President Tru
man to keep him in physical trim
. . . It was Maj. Gen. Harry
Vaughan who got him his White
House job. ... He parachuted into
Europe with the paratroopers and
was wounded three times—though
he only bothered to collect one
purple heart.
The GOP cross-examination was
sparked by Senators Knowland of
California and Cain of Washing
ton. Both asked searching questions
about Graham’s “meteoric rise”
from a first Lieutenant in 1941 to a
Brigadier General in 1946. The pro
motion to Brigadier General came

Latest information from Nenana
regarding the ice conditions is that
of April 21, last Saturday, which
says considerable water is running
down both sides of the river and
a large opening has appeared on
the far side opposite the mouth of
theriver.
Bush pilots Wright and Rustze
back, using the river for landing
purposes, stated they noticed the
ice rising in the middle.
This report caused the manager
and ice committee to install the
clock to take care of any sudden
eventualities.

year after he had been appointed
President Truman’s personal physi
cian.*
Knowland also wanted to know
how Graham happened to get his
White House job. Graham admitted
the approach from General
Vaughan, denied he had known
Vaughan previously, but said he
had spent considerable time in
Missouri.
It was Senator Cain who asked
Graham about his grain specula
ting. However, Graham not only
reported he had stopped specula
ting but claimed he was living on
his military salary.
Democratic Senators Russell of
Georgia and Johnson of Texas
came to Graham’s defense, point
ing out that the Senators had an j
Admiral 'Dr. George Calver) on
!uty lull time to watch out for
heir health.
Johnson also started identifying
he ribbons on Graham’s chest,
ringing out his war record as a
reld surgeon.
In the end, Knowland was the
only Senator with courage enough'
.0 buck the White House and vote
against Graham’s promotion.
Crime Reporter
The Washington Daily News’]
clack reporter, Milt Berliner, got
he last laugh on Congressman
James. Davis, Georgia Democrat.
Berliner wrote a series of articles,
criticizing Davis’s weak crime probe
into the Capital underworld, in
which it appeared to some that
Davis was pulling his punches.
Berliner’s articles so got under
Davis's skin, that he complained to
Berliner's editors.
The other day, however, Davis’s
chickens came home to roost when
Berliner received a newspaper guild
award for his series on Davis. Sig
nificantly, the judges included
Sens. Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine and Mike Monroney of Ok
lahoma, both former colleagues of
Davis.
