3IB3 0IIW riAISON Whiskey Distillers Hire Ex-Senator Wheeler; Truman Urres Food For Europe Instead Of Battleships; The Man Behind The Freedom Train. Washington, Oct." 25 Ex-Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana has now been retained by one of the biggest whiskey distillers to fight its battles at the White House. Wheeler has been hired by Lewis S. Rosenstiel, head of Schenley's snd also has been loaded up with a lot of ballyhoo to the effect that the Luckman committee is composed of crackpots and New Dealers and he is supposed to sing this song to the White House. Wheeler was picked by Schenley's because of his long friendship with President Truman and because he was able to get Schenley's out of trouble with the Justice Department's antitrust division recently.

Several of the big distillers were In Dutch with the Justice Depart xnent for trying to monopolize the whiskey business, but the astute gentleman from Montana managed to get them off the hook. Whether Burt Wheeler will try to sell his old friend Truman on Schenley's gripe that the Luckman committee is a bunch of crackpots is another matter. Hurt is smart en eugh to know different, and what's more, he knows that Truman also Knows different. Note: Still wringing their hands over the whiskey holiday, the big distillers have retained the Ivy Lee publicity firm in New York to stage a campaign for them- Ivy Le is the man who transformed the Rockefeller family from one of the' worst-hated groups in the USAA to present pillars of society-Food Instead Of Battleships President Truman gave a significant explanation of his plans for European reconstruction to a delegation of visiting Unitarian churchmen the other day. After his talk, however, one part of his remarks were carefully censored before being released to the press.

This was because Truman let slip the remark that the Marshall plan might cost as high as $40 billion. Apparently it was feared that this might be misconstrued by isolationist critics. In brief, what the President actually told the visiting church dignitaries was: "In 1945, we canceled 95 billion dollars in war contracts. Now we want to spend 30 to 40. billion dollars in a long-range program to rebuild the world.

I believe this is more economical for us than it would be to spend 105 billion dollars a year for war-" He spoke in response to prepared statements read by Dr. Win-fred Overholser. moderator, and Di- Frederick Eliot, president, of the American Unitarian Association. Later Truman accompanied the group into the White House rose garden to pose for pictures. Walking beside Rev A.
