The circular says: “Gambllng-tn-the-sky via slot machines will feature a four-hour pianp flight by the ‘Sportsmen’s Special’, between Miami and Ciudad Trujillo, Dominical Republic the ‘Monte Carlo of the Carribean’ where four legal gambling casinos flourish.

He was stopped at the last minute by a personal appeal Trom President Truman, himself. The Inside story is that Morris, depressed over the runaround he was getting, decided that his as signment was “impossible.” He an nounced his decision to puit at a routine conference with Justice Department officials. “I’m going home,” he declared simply. “This thing hasn’t been throught through. For I'm supposed to report my investiga tions to the very man I’m supposed to ’ be Investigating.' 1 Morris Nvas referring, of course, td his boss Attorney General McGJrath. Within a few minutes, however, word of Morris’s surprise decision was flashed to the White House, and Presidential Aide Charlie Mur phy was rushed to Morris’s office. HUking fast, Murphy urged the wgjm andpwasiw tiy hustled him to the White House. Within half an hour, Morris was in, the Oval Room conferring earnestly with the President., Truman begged Morris to stay oh, promised him a free hand and guaranteed full White fUmse sup port. “You can have anything you want,” the president offered. It was a result of this dramatic, spur-of-the-moment meeting that the President personally appealed to Congress for subpoena power for Morris and moved .Morris’s head quarters out of the Justice Depart ment into the old Washington Post Butting.

As a member of the Senate In ternal Security Committee, which' is trying to prove the L P. R. Is Communist - dominated, Ferguson fumed and snorted at Owen Latti more last week about his associa tion with L P. R. At the Session's close, Ferguson lingered to chit with reporters and review his afternoon’s triumph, But a reporter cut Trim short by in quiring sweetly: “Senator, have Ferguson? Bps drew tight, and he snapped: “It's in the record." “Can’t you ten me yourself whether you quil the I. P.

DMT BATTLE Blood pressures shot up, collars got hot and voices collided sharply as I*»)use Republicans wrangled, be hind closed doors last week over the Universay Military Training Bill to draft 18-year-olds. Congress man Dick Simpson of Pennsylvania, who presided, almost busted his .gavel trying to keep tempers from Rep. Sterling Cole of New York, a militant UMT advocate, argued that the people favored the youth -1 training program as an antidote to future wars. Popular polls proved this, said Cole. However, Congress man Dewey Short of Missouri con tended that we already were draft ing men for war and should uot superimpose UMT on top of -Selec tive Service. "This is another example of the Military reaching out for \«nore power Short. U U3O»«R. adopted in any foftn, we’ll never 6e , able to repeal it.” Another member of the Armed Service Committee, Rep. William Bates of Massachusetts, said there was nothing in the lengthy testi mony before the committee to con vince him that UMT was needed. _ "On the contrary, it wpuld be a rash step, in my judgment,” he said, “to permit the Pentagon to get its foot in the door.” _ Other Republicans argued that a vote for UMT would be a vote for "more military waste,” since copabat officers weren't available to carry out a training program for high-school graduates even on »* token scale. Rep. James Van Zandt Os Penn sylvania, always a walkie-talkie of the Pentagon, warned his colleagues that they would face the opposition of-the American Legion and “other' 'powerful groups” in the next elec tion if the; didn’t support the UMT Mil. “The American Legien is for it, and the American people are,for it,” shouted Van Zandt.

INHIBITIONS OF A BOG - Wolfe apparently realized that he must act like a gentleman. But it was Interesting to observe him stand beside the rabbit pen. Fof he would be tense and ready to spring. His tongue ‘would lit erally drip with saliva. Several times he lay down be side the pen and actually touched his nose to that of one o fthe rab bits.
