Newspapermen In Washington Ride The Politicians ‘"Mutiny Of Th«* Bounty'"' Hoenael«*«I At t’luli In ilir Capital — i — Each year newspaper corres pondents in Washington, organi zed into the Gridiron Club, hold a big meeting and ride roughshod over the politicians from the Pres ident on down. An account of the l!if>2 meeting held there recently, follows: Democratic refugees from the “Mutiny Against the County”— the 1952 presidential election — arc landing from their long boat on a remote island. Irf the faraway Catskill Moun tains the thunder of last month’s election has just awakened Rip Van OOP from a slumber of >0 years. The Electoral College is get ting a new football team, thanks to the voters. % Vici»-President-elect Richard M. Nixon and Gov. Adlai E Ste venson of Illinois were speakers. By tradition then remarks were off-the-record. Vice - President Barkley was the ranking guest. ‘Speech in the Dark' The traditional speech made in a darkened room, the "Speech in the Dark,” was by Paul K. Leach, Washington bureau chief of the Chicago Daily News and the Knight .new spapers, the 1952 club • president. Mr Leach said some people be lieved Santa Claus had been shot at last by the voters on Nov 9. But he added Santa Claus merely was in hiding as John L. Lewis soon found out. (After the elect ion President Truman granted Mr. Lewi's softcoal miners a $1.90 daily wage increase, overruling the Wage Stabilization Board.) As a take-off on General Eisen hower's campaign crusade theme, members of the Gridiron chorus * s7si i diiw ■ '<rr1 s a flf ‘SiT marched solemnly upon the stage to set the 1952 Gridiron theme As the orchestra id' the United States Marine Band boomed out with "Dixie,” the crusaders waved Conferedate flags and sang: "Away down South in the land of cotton Harry Truman’s done forgotten, Look away, look away, look, away, Dixie Land! Jn Dixie Land where Tke‘ was born Larly on one trosty morn, Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land!” Setting of ‘Mutiny’ The "Mutiny Against the Boun ty” .scene was set on a far-away Pacific isle. Drifting on the beach, the club members impersonating 1 Captain Adlai Blv Stevenson, Christian Steve Mitchell, and other Democratic big shots la- j mented their plight in the wreck ing of their war sloop. Crew mem- ‘ bers were dressed as farmers and , "five per centers.” It was explained that the vic tims of the wreck "never had it done to them so good," before I Christian Mitchell tried to c-heei Captain Stevenson by remindinj. him: "We don’t have to clean uf the mess, anyway." An actor cast as Vice Preside))’ Barkley looked across the sand) and saw a man “walking, jus' walking," To the tune of "Walkin’ to Mis souri,” the soloist sting: "It looks like Hurry, walkin’ walkin', "Walkin’ to Missouri. “He steps along so spry. "It looks like Harry, Walkin walkin’ "Walkin’ to Missouri. "Got a twinkle in Ins eye. . illj -inays lie's happy his jol i s—d OYi 0 * "Got time now to have som< fun .. .” ‘Harry’s Place ( hanged Sitting fin the Rip Van GOT musical skit was "Ike's Tavern,’ lately called "Harry's Place ' Tavern keeper was Thomas E Dewey. Hip wanted to know what’s all the celebrating about now that he’s awake from thi nap he started in 19311. Joe Martin, Speaker-to'be o: the House, told him to the tune of the "Beer Barrel Polka”: "This is election, some election "Brings the GOP in bloom now "And then 'll not be any room now “Phr a worry or a gloom now. "T.iere'Il be music, there’ll bi Dancing "While the GOP is prancing "That is what we promise . Electoral College Campus After Rip's memory was restor ed completely he stripped off his whiskers and shouted, "I am Her belt Hoover!" Then he gave tin President-elect some information concerning the difference between the Army and politics. The electoral college set up its campus on the stage. An actor representing football coach Her bert Brownell, Jr., the incoming Attorney General, said the grid iron prospects for the college were bright because of the college’s new "motor league” brickfield. It was eompesed of ball carrier. rnciiteid, and Douglas McKav^dl chosen for Cabinet jobs Mi Wil son is president of General Mot ors: Mr. McKay has a Chevrolet Cadillac agency in Oregon; anil Mr. Summerfield ha.- a large Chevrolet agency in Michigan. George M Humphrey, nominat ed for Treasury Secretary, won a job as "old guard" on the team and his impersonator sung this song: * "There’ll be a change in your taxes "Cause we said we would, "So that you’ll shout you never had it so good . . Appropriate Plana Place Decorated T ree on HtUid Christmas, FI#--The 200 or so residents in this little community have decided to make every day in the year Christ.r._s Day. So, they planted a permanent Christ mas tree recently beside State Road 50, about 14 miles from Indian River City. Weatherproof ornaments vill decorate the tree, which will remain standing all the year around. Expect No Actios On "Pork Harrel" If the incoming Congress would really like to have money, there is [one little item of $12,000,000,000 lit might look over, a House sub I committee hesitatingly comments. This item is the particular pet of Congress itself, however, rep resenting the accumulated reser voir of pork barrel" measures 1 for river and harbor improve ments. _ In all the talk about economy, many observers think this $12, 000.000.000 of accumulated under takings, two-thirds of which ($8, 000.000.000 worth) have not even been started, will be the hardest spot for congressmen to cut. One of these items was passed by Congress back in 1917, the subcommittee of Representative Robert E. Jones, Jr., lD), of Ala bama reports, and many of the others were passed in the 20 s and the 30's. Cos*s have vastly increased since first approval, after which they were temporarily put aside f"1 later appropriations. Mr. Jones and his investigators midlv propose that all of them should be reexamined and thu‘ many might well be dropped Review Proposed Senator Paul H Douglas (D) of Illinois has made his annual speech against the traditional congressional pork-barrel bill and has been regularly attacked bv othi i senators for criticizing one of the oldest and costliest, cherished congressional institu tions. But if congress really wants to cut down federal expenditures, why doesn’t it economize on questionable river harbo- bills'" Senator Douglas asks m -ffect plaintively- -and unsuece dullv Now comes forward Mi roues He proposes a complete review of the accumulated project Spectators admire Mr lones's audacity; but they think his col leagues will soon remind him .f his position with a song that got "You're in the Congress.
