THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. DREW PEARSON Another Glamour Probe Due M OST folks would think that congress had had enough of Hollywood after that Brewster-Hughes fiasco. How ever, another big extravaganza, is being cooked up by the house un-Americanism investigating committee that will out do the Hughes probe in names and glamour, if not headlines. Until the curtain goes up, a publicity blackout has been ordered by committee chairman Parnell Thomas of New Jersey. However, it is known that a swarm of big-name actors and actresses will be brought to Washington next month to testify on alleged communism in Hollywood. Even U the probe doesn’t prove anything—which it probably won’t—it will keep Congressman Thomas’ name on the front pages —always helpful when one aspires to be GOP senator from New Jersey. Thomas and his investigators are mum about which movie stars and producers will appear. However, it can be revealed that those scheduled to be invited or subpoenaed include: Charles Chaplin, who filmed “The Dictator”; Katharine Hepburn, who introduced Henry Wallace to a Los Angeles rally; Adolphe Menjou, Robert Taylor, Director Leo McCarey and Hans Eisler, a Hollywood composer and brother of Gerhardt Eisler,. recently convicted of contempt of congress. Jack Warner, who produced Ambassador Joe Davies’ book “Mission to Moscow,” at a time when we were wooing Russia, also will appear. WALTER WINCHELL * The Washington Ticker The administration is split right down the middle into two blocs— liberal and conservative. The con- servaUves are led by Secretary For- restal, for whom the President has great respect, and include Harri- man, Krug, Snyder and Clark. The liberals are Bob Hannegan, Gael Sullivan, Schwellenbach and Clark Clifford. . . . The conservative bloc wants to force the ouster of Prime Minister Clement Attlee in Britain by insisting the British will get no relaxation of the loan agreement or other financial aid until Attlee is out, a coalition government is in, and the socialization of industry is stopped. . . . With the elections coming on, Mr. Truman is listening to the liberals on domestic policy. PAUL MALLOW * Treasury Juggles Its Figures P RESIDENT TRUMAN found the lost figures in his fiscal midyear budget review. Although dollar volume of business and income have been increasing since January, no one around the treasury has been able to find the figures showing how much this would increase receipts, and thus justify the Republican Jax reduction. When the June 15 quarterly Income taxes came in to the treasury till, the Democratic actuaries should have been able to estimate immediately how much more money they would take in this present year than they had figured. But the Republican tax reduction bill was then under con sideration in congress, so the actuaries just looked dumb, and pointed to the daily treasury statement, which is an unrevealing generalization of matters fiscal. By June 30, this statement showed receipts were actually down the first six months of this year over last. Instead of up above the budget cal culations. Even at the fiscal year end. Treasury Secretary Snyder mere ly estimated the surplus larger than expected for the closing year and warned against tax reduction, as you will recall. By this little fiscal ruse, the Democrats caused the Republicans to use the six-month-old budget estimates of last January, which kept them on the defensive and forced them to justify any tax reduction by the amount of economies they could make. ★ ★ ★ ★ H.

Dwight Griswold will resign as head of Truman’s commission in Greece. Because, he says, Greek monarchists (and our state depart ment) are giving him “the finger.” He bitterly adds that he “isn’t gonna hold anybody’s bag!" . . . An other Truman exec will quit and take an offer (at 60 Gs) in private industry, unless he inherits Hanne- gan’s chairmanship of the Demo cratic national committee, ifow why would any man want a thank less (hat-in-hand) job like that? ★ ★ "A feature of the Elks’ outing will be a sheep roast and barbecue." * "This beef stew is too thick, waiter." * "Make it 20 gallons. 1 wanna bust a tu o^lollar bill anyhow." • "I’m sick of meat; why don't we have fish once in awhile?" » "Whatever you do, don’t let the women see you drinking. • • • There is this to be said of the liberation of India: Lord Mountbat- ten gave it an air that not even Tyrone Power could have improved on. i Russia has perfected a spray that grows tomatoes three times normal size.

WALTER SHEAD* British Squander Recovery Funds S EN. RAY* BALDWIN of Connecticut spoke truly when he chided his Republican colleagues: “If we are to remain the majority party we must act effectively in the interest of a majority of the people. If we act only in the interest of a minority of rock-ribbed Republicans, we shall again quickly become a minority party.” The record of the first session of the 80th congress bears out the Connecticut senator’s charge, but the charge fits equally well the record of the 79th congress which legislated in the interest of a minority of rock-ribbed Democrats. Our two-party system doesn’t contemplate government by co alition, but during both the 79th and 80th congress it was evident the trend toward continued progressive government was halted and the clock turned back by this coalition of southern Democrats and Republicans, aided and abetted by the pressure groups of self-interest lobbyists. The power of recall held by the voters of the nation is helpless against this kind of government and a return to strict party responsibility, essen tial in our democracy, will be the best insurance against the evils of communism and fascism spreading dangerously as a result of Tory ir responsibility. WRIGHT PATTERSON * Two-Party System Falters T HE American people are greatly interested in the survival of England. We fully realize her value as a strong and prosperous nation to us and to all free people. We evi denced our desire for her survival by advancing nearly four billion dol lars to aid in her recovery from the terrific effects of the war on her production, her economy and her leadership. That four billion dollars has been spent in fruitless experi ments and in supporting the British political party now in power. While we are willing to aid England, we are not willing to finance the ex periments in national socialism which are being made by the Brit ish Labor party. sm BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL . . .

Pastry Tricks Now that cooler weather has come, we can all indulge in a few of the richer des serts that we’ve been avoiding during hot, swel tering weather. Since it’s cooler you won’t mind using the oven if baking the pie is required, and you won’t mind taking the extra time for their preparation. There was a time when we thought of pie as something with a crust made of shortening, flour and water, but now there are many new crumb crusts from which to choose — and sometimes these are even better with certain types of fillings. If you want a real taste delight, experiment with new crusts, novel fillings, and gather yourself a new and delicious collection of pastries from which to choose desserts. We all grow tired of eating the same things day in, day out, and there’s so much new in the way of foods, it’s just not a smart homemaker who doesn’t find different touches to add to her menus.
