Utah WORLD WAR I BRIDES Defeat of Wheeler Marks Passing of Able Legislator Kurt By BAUKIIAGE Anal yl snj Commentator, WXO Service, ISIS Eye Street. N.W., Wiibinctoo, D. C. There wai something rather pathetic about It to me when I heard the President any two worda that marked the obit uary of a long career. The terse reply waa mode at a presidential press-radi- con- o ference when a reporter aaked Truman If he cared to aay anything about Mr. the senatorial primary in Montana in which Burton K. Wheeler waa defeated by Leif Erickson. There waa nothing more that the Prealdent could aay. He already had endoraed Wheeler with that remarkable loyalty that he haa for hia friends a virtue which easily may go down in history as one of kis faults. Wheeler gave the freshmen aena tor, Harry Truman, hia first opportunity to show hia mettle by letting kirn bat for him at chairman of the Interstate Commerce Important committee. Truman made good, and a warm friendship developed. But even presidential aid couldnt save Wheeler. The other day I waa looking over the autographed photographs with which Harold McGrath, superin tendent of the senate radio gallery, bad decorated the walls. It waa Just about the time that things began to look bad for the senator. We commented on the senators we had known who had ended long careers in Behind defeat Of ber when the picture was taken. Here are two paragraphs from the story: Last autumn (remember this was written in February. 1935), Citizens of Montana sent the same young man to Washington as a senator for his third term with the largest majority ever given a candidate by the Mountain State. A decade passes and new voters grow up, Wheeler (I observed this in the same interview) came back to his office in the Senate building with the pictures of the high mountains and the deep valleys of his adopted state on the walls, and a victory measured j in tlie same magnificent dimensions. His hair is a little thinner than it was but he can wake the echoes with the same thunder he released when he first arrived. He is still up and at em. And the higher they fly the more anxious he is to make them fall." Wheeler, Norris, Ashurst they, too, flew high. It was during the day and night senate sessions on OPA. The senate recessed at 6 p. m. to continue de-liberations at 8 p. m. Republican Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, bitter OPA opponent, and Mrs. Bridges went to a restaurant for dinner. Coming out, they were caught by a sudden sharp rain storm. The dapper, white-line- n suited senator hailed a passing cab, and he and his wife piled in. Before they could shut the door (and in accordance with Washington's group riding) a huge and very damp Labrador retriever bounded in, landing in the senatorial lap. The dog was followed by his corpulent mistress. Some moments elapsed as the quartet arranged themselves in the cab's back seat The dog continued to snuggle and drip on the white linen suit Suddenly the corpulent lady, glancing sharply at the senator, said: Why, you're Senator Bridges, arent you? Bridges, pleased to be recognized, nodded graciously. Well," said the lady. Jerking the sycophantic canine away from the Republican senator, Im a regie Yearns for West years.

STUNT The final defense of Mihailovitch, hero of the Chetmks, was little reported ln this country. American popular Interest in him waned when he was reported to nave admitted acta of collaboration" with the enemy during the war. Of such a character is our acute sense of Justice. But in this case it has been successfully abused and misled. Mihailovitch spoke for four hours from notes he had made for 30 days, ending his speech at midnight with this final accounting from an i resistance soldier: I had against me a competitive organisation, the Communist party, which seeks its aims without compromise. I waa faced with changes in my own government and accused of connections with every possible secret aervke, enemy and Allied. I believed I was on the right road and called on any foreign Journalist or Red army mission to visit me and see everything. But fate was merciless to me when it threw me into this maelstrom (between the western democracies and Russia). I wanted much. I started much, but the gale of the world carried me away from my work. BROKEN BY TORTURE This is a Serbian soldier of resistance, far from the early time when he and the British alone were resisting the Nazis but Russia was not, apeaking after clever Communist torture in a mockery of trials which could find a counterpart only in the Moscow treason trials for Russian propaganda purposes. The methods of torture which broke his mind have been frequently described in books available at our libraries (Ian Valtins Out of the Night). Thus was the Slavic tern-- I perament and mind led to confess anything his captors wished for their purposes of propaganda ia strengthening the disliked Tito gov-- I eminent in Yugoslavia, and for effect upon people throughout the Balkans.

Before the commander-in-chie- trial f, to December, 1945, of the Chetnik on our side up his Communist party adversary Tito went to Mos- cow. With him he took his military leaders and the head of his secret police the Ozana. A full military agreement was reached (Tito can contribute an army of 800,000 to any Russian cause) and a propaganda agreement for Mihailovitch. This is the same Tito government which later informed our state department that the crimes of Mihailovitch. before the trial, had been judged to be too great and terrible for any discussion or for American testimony. Its foreign minister had announced before the trial (May 11); Mihailovitch will be shot. The Russians took no chances on it The three members of the court were officers from the Tito army, and members of the Communist party. The spectators hissed and booed statements, such as the truthful assertion of a defense attorney that the law under which the men were being tried was made up by the Communist government after the supposed crimes were committed. The verdict of death for Mihailovitch was cheered. TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE To call this propaganda farce by the name of trial is an accusation against justice. Mihailovitch fought largely under the supervision of the British mission against Nazis but he did not fight for the Russians. This was his real crime. He fought for the British and Americans as well as his Serbs, but he did not fight for the Russians. Mihailovitch was not tried in Belgrade. What was tried in Belgrade was Russia and communism. In evidence were her methods and techniques, her foolish attempt to ape Anglo-Saxo- n justice with a staged trial to create an Anglo-Saxo- n excuse for a Russian propaganda death. RUSSIA BLOCKS PEACE Joint efforts for peace so far have resulted in stultification of U. N. in a series of Russian vetoes, and adoption of our plan to get world approval for a Russian peace along the Danube and in Finland, togeth-er with $100,000,000 of reparations from Italy, in which she never set a war foot, and a denial of peace to Austria or Germany, as Russia wants. Who is making the Russia. Out of all this, we peace? get nothing. except the dwindling shadow of an ideal which Russia has long since vetoed. |
