Harold (Happy) Meltzer, 40, was booked Saturday as a suspect in the slaying of Charley Yanowski, on July IS, 1349, in New Jersey. While the Cohen aide denied the charges and confidently predicted he would beat the rap," Police Capt. Lynn White quoted him as criticizing the gambling czar.

"If Mickey kept his big mouth shut and stayed out of the papers, he wouldn't be in this mess," Capt. White quoted Meltzer. He called Cohen "that little jerk." Capt. White said.

Sabath, Illinois Democrat, said today the Army Knfinpf rs run "the most powerful lobby in Washington" snd are actually the "indirect representatives of the power interests." He predicted the engineers would be the chief target of the forthcoming congressional inquiry into lobbying. Rep. Sabath. chairman of the House Rules Committee and a prime mover in the lobbying investigation, said the engineers ran get "just about anything they want out of Congress." Their influence is especially strong among southern congressmen, he said. "If you own a swamp In the south and are lucky enough to get the -Corps of Engineers to rirain it for vou.

von can sell it at any price you can get the. people of the United States pay lr bill." Rep. Sabath said the engineers, who handle the politically potent rivers and harbors projects, have been powerful enough to override both President Roosevelt and President Truman. He said a special committee will probably be named to conduct the lobbying inquiry immediately after the House returns from its one-month vacation. Elsewhere in Congress: IWESTIOATIONS Rep.

Mel vin Prioe, Illinois Democrat, said the "wild charges" that occasioned Congressional investigations of the 36 Superbomber and the Atomic Energy Commission were part of a political attempt to "discredit" the Administration. "In my opinion," he said, "they have been strictly based on politics." Dps Senator Hubert II. Humphrey, Minnesota Democrat, joined a bi-partisan move to get a Senate vote on a bill to liber-i7e the Displaced Persons law. The House already has passed the bill. Senator Humphrey said he is joining Democratic Leader Scott W.

Lucas, of Illinois and 34 other Senators in sponsoring a resolution to pry the DP bill out of the Judiciary Committee and bring it to the floor for a vote. MINIMUM WAf.K Senator Allen J. Ellender, Iouisiana Democrat, proposed that Hie national minimum wage be boosted from the present 40 to 65 cents an hour and tied to future changes in the cost of living. He assailed the Administration's plan to hike the minimum to 75 cents an hour on the ground that it "would close down a lot cf small businrsses." The House already has okaved the 75-cen figure. CIVIL, RIGHTS Rep.

John E. Rankin, Mississippi Democrat, the fiery advocate of white supremacy, offered to meet President Truman in a public debate on the merits of the so-called Civil Rights program. Noting that the President had said he might go South to discuss the Issue, Rpp. Rankin said: "If he docs. I shall be glad to debate it with him, especially if he comes to Mississippi." F.K1 Democratic farm leaders in the Senate and House were invited to a White House conference Wednesday to try to get an agreement on price sup- vl J' crops.

The Democrats are split badly on Ihe farm issue, with the House holding out for continua-j tinn of the present high supports and senators looking for some more flexible svstem. Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Bran-nan has his own plan, calling for direct subsidy payments on perishable crops. TIT) ELAN lis Interior Secretary J. A.

Krug told a House Eubcommitfee that President Truman is with him in opposing a proposed bill that would give coastal states control of oil-bearing lands within their seaward boundaries.

29 (UP) The Sunday Pictorial yesterday urged Britain to "stop the snarling" at the United States and start working her way out of the shadow of bankruptcy. The pro-Government tabloid, a leader in the recent campaign of newspaper criticism of the United States, said "Let's stop the snarling. Let's get on with the job of sorting out this unholy postwar economic mess." "The Americans have heard both sides of the case," the newspaper added. "The air has been cleared. Tempers on both sides of the Atlantic have cooled off." The Pictorial praised the American press for reporting the bitterly critical "letter to America" which it printed last week.

Mr. Leech thinks the British have not given America enough credit for Marshall Plan aid. Perhaps not, but I have before me a reproduction of a brightly colored wall poster, 25 by 18 inches, which the government distributes to British factories, entitled' "What American Aid Gives Us." I notice that many newspapers and radio stations which gave great publicity to the intemperate anti-American criticism voice by a certain Tom O'Brien, a comparatively inconspicuous British trade union leader and member of Parliament, neglected to say that a far more influential citizen, Arthur Deakin, General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, prompt ly and severely criticized Mr. O'Brien's speech. When it comes to bad manners and intemperate speech, we Americans live in glass houses.

For myself I can imagine little more reckless than the almost hysterical effort of powerful interests in America lo discredit Socialism by attacking Britain, no matter what the effect on Hunt Displays Truman's Photo (Continued from Page One) him was to get tickets to the Army-Notre Dame football game.

Further, he acknowledges that the Conservatives intend to keep the welfare state which R. A. Butler, chief draftsman of their platform, declared "is as much our creation as the Socialists'." Mr. Leech was probably not at all surprised when the London Economist, ablest and fairest of English jourfnlistic critics of the Labor Government, declared Ihe other day that "Britain's present difficulties are not due to anything that can properly be called Socialism; they are not due, save in a minor degree, to policies of the Labor Government that would have been substantially differently applied if another party had been in power; and to make the present crisis the excuse for an anti-Socialist campaign will hinder rather than help toward Us solution." Background of Orlsl The crisis is due 1o the fol- lowing facts: Historical accidents land the genius of its people made Great Britain, mother of capitalism, the one great world power of the 10th century. It was, nevertheless, as its own Disraeli said, "two nations, one of the rich and one of the poor." In the early days of industrialism, Rritish coal was a big advantage.

Later Britain became dependent upon imports of food and raw materials, but it was able to pay for them not only by exports but by the interest on British investments abroad. The march of time and the growth of other nations in any case would greatly have changed Britain's relative position in the worm, was caiasrropnicaiiy changed by two world wars, in the second of which Britain long stood alone against the Nazi might. She emerged victorious, but with 4' 2 million of her houses bombed out and with almost all of her foreign holdings gone. To live decently Britain had to import half her foodstuffs and more than four-fifths of her raw! materials and pay for them by I exports. There was no escape under any government from austerity and hard work.

It was a triumph of the Labor Government to hold enough support from the unions to make them, ncnito unrccr nutnni iri tHie heroic task, Reen lindpr 'eiallsm As Mr. Leech admits. Ihe pace of life in general in Brit.fin Is slower than in America. But so far was Socialism from still further slowing it up that, according to United Nations figures, Great Britain had made a greater increase over 1938 stand-arris of production than any Western European nation except Sweden and Denmark, both of them also Socialist countries. It has led also in the percentage of expots to imports in volume.

Output per man in Britain, after all the strains of war, is 8 per cent higher than before Ihe war. Industrial production as a whole is up at least 40 per cent and agricultural production at 25 per cent. Contrary to Mr. Leech's statement, the coal industry showed a profit its sec-! ond year. By and large the British peo- pie are delivering the goods, which they can do more easily notwithstanding austerity because of the magnificent social services in education, housing and health which in value have raised the wages of British workers on an average $11 per week for a family of five.

Under these circumstances, I rannot join Mr. Leech in lamenting the difficulty of getting a high-priced name band for a London hotel or weep because there are only 70 Britishers with incomes of 51,000 a year after taxes are paid. Can't Sell Enough Goods Despite their good record, after the first quarter of this year, with the coming of recession in America, the British could not sell enough goods in dollar markets to pay for imports. The particular division of the whole national income within Britain has little to do with the matter unless England's critics think that it is possible without revolution, confusion and ulti-tnate dictatorship to reduce the British standard of living to something like the' Russian standard.
