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. The speech was writ
ten largely by OPA Boss Paul
Porter, Reconversion Czar John
Steelman and Judge Sam Ro-
senman. . . . The FBI already
is digging into large-scale hoard
ing. Some very big manufactur-
uur concerns may be implicated.
Stage Door:
George Arliss made $640,000 in the
U. S. That was his net estate, at
any rate. Compare him with Wm.
S. Hart. . . . Arliss didn’t bequeath
a peso to any American charity—
not even to the Episcopal Actors’
Guild, of which he once was presi
dent. Phooey. . . . Fred Hillebrand
at 52 enters a local school of music.
Five years ago, not knowing a note,
he composed a Negro Spiritual
which was a smash hit. So he
decided to write an opera. That ex
plains why he is going to a music
school in a class with kids. . . . The
reason author Michael Strange (pen
name of an ex-Mrs. John Barry
more) isn’t listed in the Social Reg
ister as Barrymore is this: Stage
names are not listed. Barrymore’s
real name is Blythe.
Two Little Girls in Blue: The
lovely, blonde, middle-aged lady
dispensing sodas at Nicholas’ in
Grand Central terminal was
once one of Ziegfeld’s most
celebrated beauties. Her name
is Doris Carlson. . . . Another

The Washingtongue - waggers:
Washington still has 8,000 dollar-a-
year-men. . . . Income tax chief
Nunan is not happy over the pay
raise for all his men. Because he
has to fire half of them. The sena
tors who agreed to the pay tilt
demanded that that many be dis

pense! . . . New York realtors are
planning to whip the N. Y. State
rent control by using NRA as a
precedent. . . . Acco-ding to Daniel
Delano Jr., the Delano family has
given 11 presidents to the nation.
He’ll tell all about it in a tome. . . .
Repub leader J. Martin, house mi
nority chief, will get his political
opposition from Mrs. Martha Sharp,
wife of a minister. . . . Sec’y of
State Byrnes, they say, told Molotov
to quit vetoing “the peace of the
world.” Did he mean the tranquil
ity of China or the quiet and calm
of Palestine?
John S. Davis has prepared a
new ciggie which will be mar
keted by one of the leading cig-
aret firms. This cigaret, they
say, dilates the blood vessels
and will raise the skin temper
ature one degree, whereas pop
ular brands are said to lower it
by several. . . . The iodides in
this new cig counteract effect of
nicotine and it is reported to
have been tested successfully on
over 400 medical students. , . .
It also is supposed to have low
ered their high blood pres
sure. ... Its name (six letters)
starts with “D.”
Broadway Side-Show: This is one
of those Broadway sagas that make
you love the people in show busi
ness. . . . One of the chorus girls
in the revue, “Call Me Mister,” is
Kate Friedlich. . . . She is also un
derstudy to the star ballerina, Maria
Karnilova. . . . Last week Kate’s
invalid father was wheel-chaired
into the National theater to witness
the hit. . . Karnilova (learning of the
visit) realized this would be one
of the old man’s rare opportunities
to see his daughter dance. . . . She
insisted that Kate go on in her
place. ... All of which made an old
man and a young girl very happy.
Most terrific anti-trust action
in history of the U. S. is slated
for Sept. It will involve at least
seven of the best-known broker
age houses, an insurance firm
and some banks. . . . Wendell
Serge’s (D. of J.) trust-busters
will charge that U. S. production
is deliberately bottlenecked by
the monopolies involved. . . .
One of the digest mags for Aug
ust has the exclusive story on it
by B. Atlas. . . . Wall Streeters
are poised for the big explosion
that will shake the nation’s
financial setup.
Manhattan Murals: The Little
Vienna dishwasher who is a com
poser and music arranger on the
side. He also publishes a monthly
mag for amateur songsmiths. His
name is Paul Christian; he’s 57.
Helps newcomers. . . . The menu
at the Stage delicatessen which
amuses the “Ellas” of the neigh
borhood with this sandwich: “Ham
and Swish.” . . . The shapely blonde
strolling through the park in a
three-whistle play-suit. . . . Cab Cal

get the payers autographed. . . ,
The Newark Star-Ledger has an of
fice boy at night. He was a combat
pilot-captain, much decorated for
more than 150 missions. He goes
to school during the day. . . . Booby-
hatch inmates no longer think they
are Napoleon. According to N. Y.
state medicos, they think they are
J. E. Hoover or MacArthur.
QUINT CALVES MAKE A DEPOSIT . . . The Wayne “Cornhusker
Quints,” world’s only living quintuplet calves, visit the Fairbury,
Neb., bank to make a deposit in their personal savings account-
money they have earned at state fair exhibitions. The quints were
born Nov. 20 on the farm of Leo Schmoldt, near Fairbury, and now
weigh an average of 425 pounds. Left to right they are: Russia, Eng
land, China, France and United States.
PRESENT NEWEST ATOM-SMASHER . . . Prof. Ernest O. Law
rence, right, and Prof. J. Robert Oppenheimer, have announced that
construction is nearly completed on the University of California’s
latest and largest cyclotron, capable of producing more atomic eneryy
than is derived from present facilities. They are shown stepping from
recess in cyclotron which ultimately will contain acceleration cham
ber which will speed atomic “bullets” on explosion journey.
NATIONAL PRO NET CHAMP . . . Bobby Riggs holds the victor’s
trophy after winning the national professional tennis championship at
Forest Hills, N. Y. He defeated Don Budge (right), in the finals, 6-3,

classic of American professional tennis matches. Riggs won the U. S.
tennis championship in 1939 and 1941.

ELMER TWITCHELL
ON RESTAU.iANTS
j
Either the wrong men are operat
ing too many lunchrooms and res
taurants in- this country or els«
they’re just too scared to speak to
the help about things.
*
“I do my share of eating in mid
dle class eating places,” said Elmei
Twitchell today, “and it is my con
viction that Inost of the operators
are glorified dog-wagon men. 1
am no chef myself but I could get
up better dinners with an old broom
and a bucket of switch-grease.”
* *
Elmer was quite sore. “What’s
become of the old-fashioned restau
rant proprietor who wanted things
right? Whatever happened to the
chef who had pride in his work?
Where is the old-fashioned bartend
er who knew how to mix a drink
right?” he demanded.
*
“It’s years since I have run
Across a proprietor who has a con
science, thinks it important to hold
his trade and won't water the soup,
cut down the portions more than
necessary or feel npset if he dis
covers the potatoes have not been
served cold.
*
“And I am not referring merely
to the Grade B restaurant. Some of
our best clubs are now employing
cement mixers as chefs.
*
“I had a business man’s lunch at
a private club last week and I still
can’t figure if the manager and chef
were former pig feeders or just a
couple of boys who confuse human
beings with seagulls.”
•
Elmer wanted to be fair. “I ad
mit it’s hard to get foodstuffs,” he
concluded, “but it seems to me the
boys should know what to do with
it when they get it.”

Ex-Pfc. Purkey in
A Quonset Hut
Dear Ed:
Well now I know how it feels to
live inside of a egg, or even inside
half a egg. The wife and me has
just got one of them Quonset huts.
We already got roundshoulders and
we stoop over even when standing
up. \
*
After you have been in one a day
you have no more doubts about the
world being round. Already I am
working on a book which I will call
“The Half Egg and I” or maybe
“Life With Low Ceilings.” The first
thing you got to learn is not to get
off a chair too sudden. You can
tell how long a couple has lived in
one of them huts by the bumps on
their noggins.
*
A real love life is necessary on
account of if a couple do any scrap
ping there is no neutral corners to
go to after the knockdowns.
