THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. IRATE OVER PROSTITUTION WASHINGTON.—Admiral Nimitz is trying to hush it up, but a hot row has broken out in the navy’s chaplain division over alleged dis crimination against chaplains with combat records, some of whom have been denied admission into the reg ular na.y and others transferred to minor posts. Four well-known chaplains al ready have resigned as a result of the dispute. They are: Capt. William A. McGuire, Cath olic chaplain of the 11th naval dis trict at San Diego—a 29-year naval veteran who served as fleet chaplain at Pearl Harbor at the outbreak of the war. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Pres byterian, former All-America foot ball star at Washington-Jefferson college end one of the most popular chaplains in the navy. Capt. William W. Edel, Methodist, who also chalked up a fine record as a combat chaplain. Capt. Raymond Drinan, Catholic, former chaplain of the battle- scarred airplane carrier Enterprise. In addition to the claim of combat chaplain': that they are being relegated to minor roles while their non-combat col leagues get the top commands, many also are sore over the navy’s failure to crack down on prostitution in Japan. A number of Protestant and Cath olic chaplains who served in the Pacific contend that the navy is abetting the growth of prostitution in Tokyo by an indifferent policy in regard to the Yoshiwaras. These chaplains further charge that those who have fought prostitu tion in Tokyo have been disciplined for their efforts — among them, Comdr. O. B. Cook, who was trans ferred from Tokyo to Guam. * * * PAUL PORTER A-BOMBED Chester Bowles, who stepped out of government after tough years of battling inflation, is a close friend of Paul Porter. The two fought side by side—Bowles as economic stabilizer, Porter as administrator of OPA. When Bowles resigned. Porter, left to fight the inflation battle alone, wrote a note. “I now feel,” Porter told his former chief, 'Tike a native whom the navy forgot to remove from Bikini just before the atom bomb exploded.” * * • FILIBUSTER AGAINST A-BOMB It’s Southerners who have the rep utation for filibustering, but three northern Republicans are conduct ing a filibuster more secret and just as skillful as that of any Dixie Dem ocrat. It’s against the atom control bill—vital to the nation. They know the house will pass the senate-approved McMahon bill for control of atomic energy if it comes to a vote; so for two weeks three Republicans have kept the bill bottled up in the military affairs committee by stalling at every turn. The three filibusters are Parnell Thomas of New Jersey, Forrest Harness of Indiana and Charles El- oton of Ohio. Many committee members gave up an evening for a spe cial session in order to complete the bill and give the U. S. a pol icy to back up Barney Baruch in the United Nations. Half an hour after the time set for the meeting they lacked a quo rum, and Ohio’s recalcitrant Elston would not let them proceed. Only one more member was needed. Finally Congresswoman Clare Booth Luce of Connecticut phoned that she was on her way to the committee room from her office five floors above. But while she was in the elevator, Elston grabbed his hat and left so there still would be no quorum. Thus a dozen conscientious con gressmen were forced to * waste more than an hour, and Bernard Baruch was left high and dry before •the United Nations with no law on the statute books to back him up. » • • IRKED OVER PALESTINE It wasn’t announced, but Prime Minister Attlee sent a confidential message to Pres dent Truman in forming him that British troops had taken repressive measures against Jewish elements in Palestine. How ever, the message arrived only after British troops already had moved in. Attlee asked Truman for a public statement of support, but the Presi dent was so irked at the way Attlee acted first and advised him after ward, that he phoned acting Secre tary of State Dean Acheson and told him to issue a statement keeping American skirts clear of the Brit ish mo’C. • • * MERRY-GO-ROUND John Snyder kept bobbing into the cabinet room during draft ing of Truman’s OPA veto mes sage. He wanted to iena a hand in writing the speech but nobody gave him any encour agement.
