THESE DAYS
By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
The Investigations
The Fulbright Committee’s term
ends oji April 30. By no possibility
can its work be completed by that
date. As a matter of fact, this
committee has done so well in un
covering the evil practices in the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion that it ought to be continued
until that cesspool is cleaned out.
We are now informed that the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion has been given a monopoly for
the purchase of tin for the entire
United States. After what has al
ready been disclosed concerning the
RFC it wbuld not seem that this
irgar.ization can safely be entrus
ed \v h such a responsibility.
This Committee could be allowed
to die, and although a few individ
uals would suffer a scant pillory, the
pattern of corruption would not
have been completed. As a matter
of fact, every doubtful loan should
be examined and exposed before
the Fulbright Committee expires.
The ultimate of the Fulbright
Committees investigation would be
the closing down of most of the
governmental lending agencies.
They were created to meet emer
gencies; they have been perpetu
ated beyond the needs of the coun
try and therefore they have be
come corrupted.
It would probably serve the coun
try well if the Fulbright Committee
would seek the judgment of Jesse
Jones in the course of its investi
gations. It would undoubtedly dis
cover from his experience that
when a government agency outlives
its usefulness it ought to be per
I mitted to die. Jesse Jones had ad
vocated the abolition of the RFC
The Fulbright Committee might
also consult the investigators of
the Hoover commission who studied
the lending agencies of the govern
ment and were not favorably im
pressed by the arguments for their
continued existence.
It needs to be recognized now that
the work of this committee has
only started; to permit its investi
gations to die on April 30 would
give the crooks not yet exposed
I safety to pursue their raids on the
: taxpayers’ money. Pressure should
be put on Congress to keep the
Fulbright Committee alive.
I watched the Kefauver commit
tee on television for several hours.
It was a wonderful experience. I
do not blame any crook if he re
fused to appear before the com
j mittee with television as a witness.
I The devil is exposed by appearance,
I vord, gesture.
Joe Adonis, for instance, looked
I and acted like a movie gangster.
! He was an imitation George Raft,
j He was brazen. He was contempt
uous. When he said that he would
' answer the questions asked when
he had his day in court, he was
only maintaining an American tra
1 dition which could have won sym
pathy. However, the way he said
j it, the way he looked, the cheap
| ness of the tough guy, made it
sound as though he meant that
i he would only answer the questions
ii he came into a court where he
! owned the judge body and soul.
Maybe the mob ought to hire a
movie man to teach them how to
act in front of television, for no
doubt this instrument exposes them
ike an x-ray. It is different from
radio because it provides a com
plete personality. I watched Adonis
:onsult his lawyer on television and
C am sure that he made a very
'ad impression on me.
The Kefauver committee seems
to be going through with its job
with a welcome degree of thorough
ness. We are getting an insight
into the character and personal
ities of our new masters, who have
.seen seizing the political machinery
of the country first on the munici
pal level. In some places, they
have already moved to the state
evel. How long could it be before
they used the huge funds made
jut of dope, policy and prostitu
icn to corrupt the machinery oi
cth pr.rties on the national leveli
There is the menace of this gang.
This makes the Kefauver com
mittee's work of the utmost impot
ence. It, too, should not be per
nitted to end its work. It ought to
be continued until it has smashed
[[., Mafia and sent its leaders to1
prison. The United States does not
m. cd a Malia any more than it
jicoe Communists.
Xl;is country does not need any
01 inizatlon of private persons who
rx,:, i; e control, in private and
• eciccy, over other citizens and
tu i; over tl’-e government of mu
n, . .polities, states and the Federal
administration. All secret agencies
lie evil in a free society. They are
importation of deleterious Eur
0p(an habits and activities.
Dewey Invited io
Appear, Testily on
Saratoga Gambling
—
new YORK, March 29 —|
The chairman of the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee has ex
tended a "cordial invitation” to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey to make any
statement he desireij before the
committee. ,
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn)
issued the invitation just before
William O'Dwyer, ambassador to
Mexico and former mayor; was
sworn in as a witness yesterday.
"The question about Saratoga
has been left somewhat up in the
air.” Senator Kefauver said, "and
j maybe (Gov. Dewey) wants to avail
himself of the invitation to make
a statement or observance regarding
Saratoga, or anything else he
wishes.”
In Albany, James C. Hagerty, the
governor’s secretary, said no invi
tation had been received.
Three high state police officials
testified before the committee last
week that Saratoga gambling resorts
ran wide open during the racing
season.
Rimor' on Peace
En Korean Warfare
Being Broadcast
WASHINGTON, March 20 —(A*)—
Clarence Brown (R-Ohio) says there
is a widespread “rumor” that com
I promise will be reached in the Kor
ean fighting as soon as some ad
ministration bills clear Congress.
Brown made the statement at
a House Rules Committee hearing
on a bill to extend the draft law
and start a program of universal
: military training.
He did not identify the source of
the “rumor.” Brown said the “ru
mor" goes like this: When the draft
bill, a tax bill and some appropria
tion bills clear Congress, there will
be a compromise that will give North
Korea to the Communists, with the
United Nations and the Republic
of Korwa retaining South Korea.
In about four or five years, he
said, “after we rehabilitate South
Korea.” the United Nations will
sponsor a plebiscite and all of Korea
will “be Red.”
Congress Is Asked
