This American holiday was founded on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Wash The Washington M e r r y - iQ o -Round By Drew Pearson Statemanship Should Come Before Politics, Says Morse ting re-elected, rather than public, service. One who lakes a refreshingly opposite position is young GOP Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon who last week made one of the most statesman-like speeches heard in the senate in many months. - JJven Morse's conservative foes admitted it. The Oregonian's topic was "Voting by Conviction." Convic-tion." Explaining his vote against the Taft-Hartley labor bill, Morse said that It was .not contemplated con-templated by the founding fathers of our government govern-ment that, under the representative system; "a man in the senate of the United States should vote in accordance with the dictates of majority as determined by a GaUup poll." Rather, continued Morse, representative government govern-ment requires a senator to assume the "solemn obligation" of voting for legislation "he believes to be in the public interest, even though he knows that, as of that moment, a majority of his constituents consti-tuents would vote contrary to his judgement." If his judgment proves faulty, added Morse, the voters, at the next election, can oust a senator guided by these principles. "I think the people of my state want me to represent them by exercising- an honest independence in-dependence of judfment on the merits of issues is-sues as I find them back here," declared Morse. "They want me to east my votes free of political pressures and unmoved by threats of loss of political support If I do net do the bidding- of some pressure groups. "If we cannot exercise that type of independence independ-ence of judgment in representing the people of our states," the Oregon senator concluded bluntly, "then I want to say that I do not want to serve in the senate of the United States if I have to serve subject to yielding to the type of pressures that management and labor groups bring to bear upon the senate for votes on this labor bill." NOTE The senate's keenest legal mind, Morse was dean and. professor of . law at the Universtiy of Oregon for 13 years.' He served as chairman of the war labor board prior to his election to the senate.

But one group of people who don't en thuse are the Pullman porters at least, those who know Henry well. "I'm a lucky man tonight," remarked one 1 itillman porter who didn't know Wallace. "I've got Henry Wallace in my car. He Is big man and I'll bet he's a big spender." "Well," replied a second porter who had car ried Wallace before, "I'm afraid you will find Mr. Wallace is all for the colored race but not for the individual. You'll be lucky if you get a quarter out of him. RUSSIAN MONEY SCANDAL by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd in honor of her WASHINGTON -Unfortunately more and more .V. n.. o . :, r-. congressmen these days are concerned about get- iacner, wiiiiam omari, a vivu " yfiio reared his six motherless children on an eastern Washington farm. The theme of this year's Fathers Day is "Honor Father, Builder of our Country's Future." Fu-ture." . 7 Dedicated this year to, "building a strong America through wholesome child upbringing," upbring-ing," Father's Day is being observed by all tfie nation in the spirit of this idea. '-Eighteen thousand General Federation of Women's Clubs are participating as are churches of all -denominations, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys clubs, local and national na-tional organizations of every type. f General Douglas MacArthur caught the eal spirit of Father's Day in his now classic message written in 1942 which is in part is follows: "By profession I am a soldier and take iride in that fact but I am prouder, infinitely nrouder. to be a father. A soldier destroys fif order-to build ; the-f ather only builds, nev- r destroys. The one has the potentialities $f death ; the other embodies creation and fe. And while the hordes of death are Jiighty ; the battalions of life are mightier Still. It is my hope that my son when I am gone will remember me not from the battle ut in the home repeating with him our simple dailv prayer 'Our Father Who Art In Heaven.' " -t . "$ Uersey Justice New Style if We should like to cite, as a minor triumph . pf justice, a recent decision of the New Jer-ley Jer-ley supreme court which wrote a happy end-Jng, end-Jng, so far as the public is concerned, to the ad story of Susan Bowers. I Susan Bowers that isn't her real name, hut it's the only one we know- was arrested jast fall in New Jersey. Her offense was trying to hitch a ride in a small corner of . 1 1 1 i T T 1 -..1 ;Vur nappy lanu yio wit, .nacneiibacji wiicie de-thumbing makes one a "disorderly per-. for." ' Susan, pretty and 20, pleaded guilty but Refused to tell the police much about herself. For the double crime of hitch-hiking and iyeticence she received a six-month sentence. The Civil Liberties Union gbt her case re-'bpened re-'bpened after New ;York and New Jersey-papers had raised a howl. Again she was found guilty, but this .time she was freed after two days. I Some months later Susan Bowers turned ijup in Arizona. There she received more enlightened en-lightened treatment. She was sent to a state jhospital where the doctors said she'was suffering suf-fering from a psychosis. But her parents finally were located awlSJusan went back to them in her Montana 'trae town. We hope that SusanAis better and that whatever was troubling her has been erased .from her mind. And we are grateful to the N'ew Jersey justices for deciding, in this day $vhen psychiatry is on the march, that keep-ling keep-ling one's own counsel or indulging in harmless harm-less unconventionalities of behavior is not an jaf front to society that merits a jail sentence. I Part of the supreme court's opinion seems to us worth quoting: "It is not an offense to Shave a dirty face or to wear blue overalls or to ride by gratuitous rides from Bangor, Me., ifto Florida, or to sleep in a truck or to pick Jaotatoes in one or another part of the coun-$ty, coun-$ty, or with $14 in pocket to be temporarily ut of employment on the way from completion com-pletion of one job to the search for another." This wise decision should bring joy and abomfort to Jersey's happy residents and to travelers passing through. On the first Scount most small boys are spared any more werious penalty than their mothers' displeas- fure. On the second, bluejeaned bobby soxers are absolved ot blame.- i I The third finding makes it all right to aiitch-hike if you don't gefclet off in Hack-ensack. Hack-ensack. The call. of the open road is legiti- mized in the fourth so long as the truck driv- fer doesn't mind. On the fifth count, the es ftablished practice of itinerant farm work gets judicial approval.;;; Aniii'qn the last, the justice.s found that mV misfortune of being niown on one s iuck aoesnt necessarily con-Istitute con-Istitute vagrancy. "... I The court also gave thk pleasant reassurance reassur-ance that, in the U. S.epbrary unemploy-tment unemploy-tment and a total capital of $X4 do not lessen fthe dignity of the individual or destroy his equal rights before' the law. Q's and Vs. Q--What American 'battles are listed among the decisive ' battles of the world? ' ; ; A Although historians disagree, dis-agree, two have been1 generally selected - from American history: the American victory over John Burgoyne at Saratoga, and . the1 Battle of Gettysburg.; Q What is the-Vinegar Bible? A The Bible published by John Baskett in 1717 at Oxford, England, so named because of a misprint. In the Bible, at the topi, of the - page on which Luke 20 appears, the title line reads: "The Parable of the Vinegary? in stead of "The Parable of thl Vineyard." Q What collection of books became the foundation of the present Library of Congress? A Thomas Jefferson' library which consisted of about 7000 books. They don't talk about it too loudly in the Pen- -tagon, but the army has been going to unusual lengths to cover up the approximate $950,000,000 shortage on its books as a result of loaning the Russians our currency plates to print German occupation marks. For one thing, the war department is now paying off German war prisoners who worked in the U.S. A. in occupation marks instead of dollars. This should save the army around S50.000.000 to be applied to the $950,000,000 shortage. Also, American funds sent to private organiza tions in Germany are transferred to occupation marks. Thus the army makes something on the exchange transaction, and this too is applied against the sllortage. However, it will never be possible to make up the deficit of nearly one billion dollars lost when U. S. army finance officers of-ficers cashed Russian-printed occupation marks by the suitcase full. Senator Bridges of New Hampshire, who has been probing this, believes it is probably the chief financial scandal of the war. NOTE. Decision to turn U. S. currency plates over to the Russians to print their occupation marks was made by top U. S. officials, some say at Yalta. However, the Russian-printed currency was easily distinguishable because of a zero printed print-ed in front of all serial numbers and it would have been easy for U. S. finance officers to have refused to cash it. As it was, Americans sold wrist watches for $1,000 in Russia paper, then converted the Russian paper into $1,000 U. S. currency. Profit: about $950. Minutia ANDY MAY'S MACHINATIONS The activities of ex-Congressman Andrew Jackson Jack-son May of Kentucky continue to be amazing. In addition to the mass of evidence now being reviewed re-viewed by a federal jury, more and more of his machinations, both big and little, continue to leak j before it was over out. One of the Garsson war contractors now being tried along with May had a relative Corp. Joseph Jo-seph Garsson who, shortly before the war, was stationed with the third chemical company laboratory labora-tory at Edgewood arsenal. On November 21, 1941, however, that company was scheduled to go overseas. So, suddenly, on November I, just 20 days before it sailed, Corporal Garsson was mysteriously mys-teriously transferred .to the chemical warfare school detachment at Edgewood arsenal. This meant that he would stay at home which he did. It pays to know the chairman of the house military affairs committee. By RUTH LOUISE PARTRIDGE First, I would like to give you my opinion of the weather, but there are some tnings one ju&i can't do in the public prints. Be-, sides, perhaps by the time this is in print, the weather will have modified. That's a good word, modified. It says that we don't expect too much, just moderation. Where was 17 on, yes wnen this comes out in print, etc. You see, I'm writing this by the dawn's early light on Thursday, because my sister and her husband are taking the moppets and me down to the parks for a couple of days, so I have to get ye column done now. . Right this minute, I'd rather rath-er be in bed than on the verge of travel. Went to Salt Lake last night with Jessie Dalton, and her mother and sister, to see the "Pride of the Market," a revival of the first play ever produced in the famous, and mourned, old Salt Lake Theater. Louis Booth and Reed Walker played m the orchestra, which made me. feel right at homev ProfrPardoegave an opening speech and asked" all who had ever trod the boards in the old theater to stand, and stood up with the rest of the lucky pioneers. Already I am a relic. Where was I? Oh, yes we IV "Pres. Brigham Young," one wife, and a little . parade of daughters were in attendance (last night. that is), and "Brother Brigham was looking very well indeed when he welcomed the visitors, wearing (of all things)' one of Brigham Young's black broadcloth broad-cloth suits. The "wife" present could have 1 len my grandfather's grand-father's sist r. How was the play? It went like this. When we got up there, well not too long before theater time, the matinee wasn't out yet. That's right folks, the matinee wasn't out yet. It was going on nine p. m. when our performance started, and going on one a. m. when it stopped. They had what they used to call a curtain raiser, a one-act farce called "Bbx and Cox" which was worth going up to see. as the male characters at least seemed to know what they were about, but the main event of the evening made me wish I had stayed for the concert. It dragged so badly that a good proportion of the audience got up and left The costumes were very pretty, and the scenery too, but !uch minor items as dancing danc-ing girls IN BARE LEGS (shades of the guardian angels of Deseret), well, if only I had loaned the bevy of lovely girls a pair of white stockings each, one discordant dis-cordant note would have been spared us. Oh well, it was an in-teresMng in-teresMng presentation, and cor ji have been excellent if only they had sped it up. "Here comes my brother!" one distressed female character cried, looking off wings The Chopping Block POWER jL MR. MARAGON U ft I By FRANK C. ROBERTSON Talking to an automobile sales man up in the state of Washington Washing-ton a few weeks ago he, in a burst of frankness, told me about one angle of the used car racket as it is being practiced oday. A dealer gets in a new car for which he can ask let us say sibuu. nis car he sells to another dealer in the same town perhaps who drives it a few miles making it a used car, and which this second dealer has no difficulty selling for let us say $2200. In return for this favor the second dealer will sell his next car to dealer number one who will then drive it home and sell it at the used car price, so that on two cars each dealer will make a nice profit of $400 per car. How widespread this practice is I don't pretend to know, but complaints against used car prices are being made all over the country. I read yesterday of a dealer advertising ad-vertising a used car which, he claimed, had been driven only five miles. No, ma'am, the printer did not leave out either the word "hundred," "hun-dred," or the word "thousand." "thous-and." I read too of automobile Robertson dealers' associations holding meetings in certain states to fry to correct the abuses in their business, of which this is con-cededly con-cededly the worst. It's about time. People no longer speak of the used car business, busi-ness, but of the used car racket. I do not believe that all dealers, or even a majority of them are guilty of seeking to gouge tips out of the public. They would be awfully stupid if they did, if they expect to continue in business, for these things do get around. But there are always a certain percent in every business willing to swap future good will for a few lousy dollars now. They think the public has to stand for .the gouge so let 'em cry we've got the money. A lot of people who have or dered new cars and can't get them read of American cars being sold abroad at a far higher price than can be obtained here. Their probable line of thought is like this: If the people of Europe can afford to pay more for cars than we can, how come them to claim they have no money and be so terribly poverty-stricken over being used to help people like the rotten Greek aristocracy, and not to feed the people who are actu ally in genuine need? One workingman I was talking talk-ing with the other day put it this way: "Seems to me our American capitalists feel a hell of a lot more kinship for European capitalists than they do for American working men." I might point . out that the working men in Europe were talking the same way about their capitalists just before many of their countries became Com munist. No matter what our claims the evidence goes to show that we are the worst hated people in the world today. Rightly or wrongly millions of people believe that our aim in international relations is to keep the aristocrats and monied people in power by any means i which we possess. We believe! that Communism is another word for tyranny and oppression. We believe that countries which turn! Communist for any reason at all are thrusting their necks into the noose of slavery. But we might as well realize, too, that many millions' of people abroad believe that the Truman Doctrine means the very same thing. Russian propaganda we answer, V A. A. 1 a. -1 i ui course, oui inai noesn i mean mat it isn t effecuve. we scoffed at German propaganda, too, but it worked for a long time. Propaganda Propa-ganda could be honest, but somehow some-how it seldom or never is, our own included. We pass a Taft-Hartley Taft-Hartley law to - "curb" labor. Abroad that 4s accepted as "crushing" "crush-ing" labor, which is an entirely different interpretation than we mean, even though there are a lot of people here going around shouting that organized labor has got to be put in its place, and they don't disguise the fact very much that they think its place is a kind of peonage. The Windsors are wandering again. On a radio program the other day I heard a woman ex plain breathlessly that the greatest great-est thrill of her life was being spoken to by these millionaire trampj. H-m-m, we think all other people are jealous of US. What's On The Air Today ' SUNDAY. JUNE IS KOVO KDYL KUTA ESL 124$ ?.V. 57$ 1160 :t On tbm Rang Top ' Morning Nwi , . . :15 . E.

Gen. in an ox cart, and in the meantime Harry Vaughan, the president's military aide, or I the audience aged visibly, his powerful Greek-American pal, John Maragon.j Well, here they are, ready to there? If the millions of dollars but evidently "brother" had ?,we are pouring into Europe is One man who talked back to Maragon was Col. William L. Lee. (They had a sidewalk scuffle in Rome one year ago.) Subsequently, Lee, then a brigadier general, was made a colonel, and transferred to Salina, Kansas. Here, however, his "Maragon" troubles have continued. Although Lee has an excellent record in the army and is doing a fine job as commander of Smoky Hill army air field at Salina, Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen recently decided to relieve him as commanding officer. Reason for this decision de-cision remains 'a mystery, but it is believed McMullen Mc-Mullen received orders from very close to the White House (one guess who!). At any rate. General McMullen- flew out to Salina. looked over the Smoky Hill air field, decided that Colonel Lee was doing a good job. and so reported to the war department. It was decided thaat Colonel Lee should remain re-main on. However, Lee. was also scheduled to command a flight of B-29s across the Atlantic to Germany on a training flight. Shortly before his departure, Lee was informed that he couljd not make the trip. Official reason: He could not get along with people in foreign countries. Peal reason: Ope guess what. So. instead, the B-29s were commanded by Col. Charles Sommers, a good man, but not skilled in handling B-29s and who wasn't enthusiastic about taking the trip.
