Show gROVO. UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1946 The Washington Merry-Co - Round A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON The state department recent-ly recent-ly leaked out a plan by which the United States would publish some of the secret documents relating relat-ing to Russia's collaboration with Germany during the Nazi-Soviet pact period. The documents, of course, are packed with dynamite. They show Hitler and Stalin in active collaboration prior to 1941. However, as soon as this information leaked out, Molotov sent word to British Foreign Minister Min-ister Bevin that if the United States published these papers, Russia would publish certain documents docu-ments of its own. The documents even list the sums which Hitler paid to some very important Englishmen. Although London will deny it, the foreign office of-fice is now hoping that the state department keeps its mouth shut. PHIL MURRAY MAY RESIGN Editorial... An Unjudicial Trial Congressional investigating committees have no power to punish an alleged offender, but they nevertheless perform a quasi-judicial function. Since their hearings often attract more public attention than court proceedings, pro-ceedings, they have a responsibility to conduct con-duct them in a fair and orderly manner. For as far as the average public judgment is. concerned, a congressional investigation is approximately a legal indictment, arraignment arraign-ment and verdict. Under these circumstances it seems a pity that these committees sometimes fail to conduct their hearings with anything resembling re-sembling judicial procedure, as the house mim'ns rnmmittw nhviouslv failed IU5,V""1 " A lot of people both in and out of labor are in US investigation Ol warume aiupuuuucia worried for fear Phil Murray will resign as head of CIO, These hearings followed a not unfamiliar pattern. First came some sensational accusations accu-sations by the "prosecution" such eyecatching eye-catching statements as the charge that "never before have so few men made so much money with so little risk." which was made by "Ralph E. Casey of the general accounting ac-counting office. The opening guns were answered somewhat some-what less noisily by the accused, who called the charges misleading, all wrong, absolutely ridiculous and wholly untrue. And as the hearings proceeded it developed that the "indictments" were indeed supported by half-truths and omissions scarcely strong enough to have sustained them in a court of IdW. Marvin Coles, the committee counsel, charged shipbuilders with exorbitant profits (ranging up to something like 11,000 per cent) as compared with their capital investment. invest-ment. But he was not prepared to say whether these Drofits were before or after taxes. And he admitted that some of his 'people was Gerald (Spike) Movius nrrvfit fio-nrps upre taken before contract re- Hollywood will now be interested to know Z ... negotiation had been completed The Nazi Path to Glory It has been Murray's wisdom that has kept the extremists in the CIO in check. However, he isn't getting any younger,, is in poor health, and wants to resign at the November CIO convention in Atlantic City. If he docs, the CIO will split into various pieces. For that reason many friends are imploring him to remain and the present plan is to re-elect him unanimously. LAMPPOSTS FOR DICTATORS Lamppost hangings for dictators are becoming too fashionable in Latin America. That was the conclusion of Argentine Dic tator Peron who was returning to his palace from a late party, when he noticed the headlights of front of his home. On the lamppost was a big sign saying, "Reserved for Colonel Peron." As Peron's car drew to a halt, the automobile, automo-bile, whose headlights shone on the sign, dashed away. Peron took several shots at the sign himself, stormed into his palace, and told aides he could lick any man in Buenos Aires. vY. v, : I il Mf v. v mv .-1 ,kv Mmr-r.

Two permanent waves a year, properly applied, may be had without injury to the hair or scalp, say doctors. Up to the time of Florence Nightingale, nursing was an exclusively male profession.
