These Days SekcUk* THE TAIL OF THE TIGiER I do not know how well Presi dent Truman knows Newbotd Mor ris, but when he took on the New York reformer to purify his Ad ministration, he took a chance on Morris eventually going after the President himself. Newbold possesses no pencfiant for partisan regularity. He calls himself a Republican, as w*s his father before him, but he has been in and out of Republican regulari ty, often being a Liberal and al ways closely associated with Flore llo La Guardia. He was a fight ing, one might almost say, an ob streperous President of the Coun cil in New York City. He has run independently for Mayor and has been defeated. How he managed to get himself picked, to purify the Truman Ad ministration is a puzzle. Perhaps the Trumanites were seeking for a Re publican to envelope them in an ectoplasm of sweetness and light. Whatever it Is, they could not have expected Morris to send out a ques tionnaire invading the privacy of everybody who Works for the gov ernment. He is quite right ih his position that a public man has chosen a public life; yet why should men have to explain why their wives wear mink coats and dia mond rings? Maybe, they were bought on the installment' plan. Back in the good old days of Coolidße and Hoover, it was nec essary to clean up the messiness of the Harding Administration. As re gards the Teapot Dome scandal, eight men were involved. Three of them committed suicide, four were convicted. The eighth. Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, was let off by two hung juries. All the property involved, Teapot Dome and Elk Hills, was restored to the Government. It was really such a simple mat ter back in those days, because the Administration functioned by due process of the law. No special puri fiers were set up to do the job.; no questionnaires were sent all over the, place indiscriminately. It was assumed, as it always has been in our law, that every man is innocent until he is proven guil ty, and that it Is the business of the law-enforcement agencies to get their, own information.,., The widespread issuaneeAof .the questionnaire presanies tflit'every body is a crook unless he can es tablish his innocence. Perhaps that is what the socialized society in which we live postulates. Certainly, questionnaires, In quiries, Inspectors, all sorts of means have been employed these many years to keep business men full of ulcers. Now the tables are turning and the same attitude and the same methods are being applied to pub lic officials. Does your heart bleed for them? It can only be said for Newbold Morris that he is doing what the Administration has reg ularly done to everybody else. They will not like it and on the basis of American law, it Is altogether wrong. But they started it. It will be exciting to see what Newbold Morris does with all this authority and power. Congress has withheld from him the power of subpoena and the right to grant immunity, but he threatens to re sign If he i* crossed. It U difficult to know what that , would do to the President politically, although the Republicans would use it to prove that everybody who dM not answer Morris questionnaire is a self-con fessed crook, which may not be so at all. In another, era, most self-respect ing men would refuse to answer, and be damned to you, sir! But these days, we are all so suspicious, whaf with our best friends getting tankers and their wives wearing mink coats on small salaries. We ought to have lots of amuse ment out of all this, because New bold Morris is not only cantanker ous but his sense of humor is not of the strongest. He will undoubt edly try to purify the Administra tion in Washington as he tried to purify the City of New York. His chlorination here left the city more crooked than ever, the smart boys somehow feeling secure in their smartness. It was the District Attorney of Brooklyn, Miles Mc- Donald, and the Kefauver Commit tee that really showed who the books were and how much they were stealing. And the funny thing about it is that the crooks never stopped doing business to this day.

The committeeman, Emmet Kel ley, was certain to loqp his post and with him other organization Democrats, if the President didn’t run. Now, however, the race looks so tight In New Hampshire that this little group of Democrats may lose out anyway. Kelley, for whom Truman did this favor, is so close to New Hamp shire Republicans, that GOP Gov. ernor Sherman Adams has con sistently appointed him racing commissioner. In return, Kelley has frequently thrown his weight behind Republican policies in order to get Democratic members of the New Hampshire legislature to support the Governor. Kelley Is also back ed by the banking interests through the First National Bank of Boston, the utilities through Lawrence Whitmore, and works for the stan chly Republican Brown Paper Com pany of BerUin, N. H. These are th# same powerful interests which used part of Kelley's machine to attempt to defebt ‘TenatoF'TWy, though Tobey supported so many of Truman’s policies that hisRlOP enemies called him a Democrat. Thus Truman bared his breast and let his name stand in the New Hampshire primary; to save a leader who has consistently opposed his basic principles yet who, in or der to save his political prestige, is now pulling out every card in the deck to put Truman across in the current primary. Kefauver creeps up To do so Kelley has done the fol lowing; 1, Lined up the state’s best Dem ocratic vote-getters to run as Tru man delegates, and the smartest politicians to manage the Truman campaign. In contrast Senator Ke fauver’s delegates are unknown, while his political workers are ama teurs. 3. Cracked the whip over Feder al Job holders.* Jim Farley once said that every Federal worker was worth 40 votes, counting his friends and relatives, and, in a small state like New Hampshire, the 2300 Fed eral jobs are enough to swing a Democratic primary. 3. Swung the labor unions be hind Truman. This was accotn-’ plished by a 7*to-8 vote of the United Labor Policy Committee which includes the AFL, CIO, United Mine Workers and an In dependent Shoe Union.

About 45 leading Democrats came in response to wires from eX-Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan, but the meeting was brief and dispirited, with Lucas whining about hls defeat in Illinois instead of delivering a fighting, pro-Tru man speech. Lucas, an able citizen when he is able to forget the past, oom plained that Kefauver had cost him his Senate seat by brihging the crime investigation to Chicago, that Kefauver wouldn’t have embarras sed the Democratic Party if he had been a good Democrat, tucas con cluded that President Truman is "Invaluable in this hour of peril” apd "should be persuaded to run again.” BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN Almost unnoticed in the military appropriations bill passed by Con- Sess last year was $100,030,000 to used for underground operations behind the Iron Curtain.

GBORGR W. CRANE Hazel was in a dilemma. Should she play a long shot gamble on romance, or follow the batting averages and win a sure thing, with the additional possibility of striking the jack pot? I urged her to use her common sense and invest her money where she couldn’t lose. CASE D-301: Hazel G., aged 25, is an attractive teacher of the third grade In a small town. “Dr. Crane, I can’t make up my mind whae to do with my summer” she announced at the end of last year’s term. “My sister wants me to make a trip to California. And I’d like to go, even though I have been there before. “But I wonder if it would not be better sense to attend summer school and finish my work for a degree. I lack only 12 hours of credit toward my 4-year college diploma.” INVEST WISELY It is a pretty good rule of psy chology to invest today’s energy in behavior that will pay dividends tomorrow and throughout the fu ture. So I urged Hazel to go to sum mer school. Time rolls around at an alarming rate of speed. Autumn would soon arrive and Hazel would otherwise wonder what she had done with her three months of va cation. For a short pleasure trip Will not give her the gratifying sense of accomplishment that her college degree will produce. Like all. normal young worn eh, moreover, she has her eye on ro mance. A California trip might be far better than summer school, if she procured a good husband out of the investment. But she is more likely to meet an eligible male at summer school than on a train or bus en toute westward. And If she doesn’t, she still will have something tangible to show for her time and money. ty America's Foremost VHF Mrftmdl Afrb/r. Cov&eOr , NEUROTIC CHARACTER GREAT EST Handicap to marriage, HAS ITS SOURCE IN MORBID CONSCIENCE, SAYS SPECIALIST DEAR MARY HAWORTH: A well-integrated and mature con science in man and wile is basic to marital harmony and happy fam ily life. And the following discus sion of conscience is submitted for those who are interested in the hidden forces that cause neurosis— the greatest marriage risk. Freedom of thought and maturi ty of mind seldom are found in the neurotic. Usually he lets others think for him, in deciding matters of conscience—according to the traditional view, to be taken on faith, without question. In the neurotic, the conscience (or superego) may be sadistically cruel and unreasoning in its punitive zeal, even driving the victim to suicide, to assuage his inordinate guilt sense, or to escape its unbearable torture. This is due in part to dog matic moral training in childhood, with severe emphasis on duty and punishment, which establishes a too-rigid conscience, thus causing panted by Mrs. tfcoibas A. Hood ' hii L , u y..y PLAY SAP* Besides, she will be eligible for a higher salary and greater like lihood of continued teaching con tracts, If she holds a college diplo ma. ™ ■“An investment In knowledge al ways pays the best dividends,” stated wise old Benjamin Franklin, and he was an. astute psychologist. Hazel’s trip to California would have been a long shot gamble on tile chance bf bumping Into ro mance. But the odds would not have 1 been as favorable as by my plan. , As an intelligent person, she should play the batting averages in life. _ We psychologists admit that a(P , good husband is more valuable by j far than a college education, so I would have immediately endorsed her westward trek for romance If ' I had been fairly sure of her win ning. But I have seen too many girls i come home without any trophies of their “Husband hunt”, despite a 10-week western or European trip. PROOF OF THE PUDDING “I’m glad I followed your advice,” i Hazel confessed when I met heiD following the close of summer school. ’ “Now I have my degree, plus a man’s fraternity pin. He was in one of my classes. He is principal of a small high school, and a won derful person.” Hazel was more fortunate than she had dreamed. Here she re turned home with two victories. At the worst, however, she would have had one. The western trip might havcß produced neither. So she was not a foolish gambler but a shrewd in vestor. If you wish success or a sweet heart out of this Ule, don’t blind ly scatter your energies and money, but aim at specific target Wisely plan your campaigns and then throw all your energies be hind your planning. At the worst, you’ll win a fair reward, and may even hit the jack . pot fes an extra bonus or by-pro-R duct. - -; - these are familiar reactions of the neurotic. And they refer to an qver ly conscientious, morbid anxiety to follow, with hair-splitting exactness, the dictates of conscience. In es sence, these dictates are the wish es of the loved one, usually moth er, who taught him what ate felt to be “right” or “wrong”. And' she often teaches that Ood is a venge ful tyrant, who knows every wrong thing we do and punishes us ac-R cordingly: also that we are'born in sin (original sin). As the neurotic grows into adult years, he cannot deviate even In minor ways from his Ingrained con science, without suffering, gnat ap prehension and compulsive seU punishment. Thf longer he remains at home under parental influence, the more fixed his childhood con science becomes; and his juvenile attitudes applied to adult situations reactivates his childish fears anUR guilt-feelings, creating a vicious Circle of maladjustment to the real world.
