The La Follette-Monroney committee suggested that the majority-party policy committees serve as a formal council to meet regularly with the Executive. The purpose would be to facilitate the formulation and carrying out of national policy, and to improve relationships between the executive and legislative branches of the government. The committee report did not discuss a situation in which the majority party in either house was different from the party of an incumbent president. Certainly the statement by President Truman last Monday did not close the door to meetings between him and the new Republican policy committee of the senate. But neither can the creation, by law, of a governmental co-operation committee, create co-opera-tionmerely by the fact of its existence.

The La Follette-Monroney committee held that representative democracy as we know it today could not exist without majority and minority parties. It said the need is for: "Some mechanism which could bring about more party accountability for policies and pledges announced and made in the national platforms of the major political parties The majority policy committees of the two houses would meet jointly at frequent intervals, as would those of the minority, to formulate the over-all legislative policy of the two parties (although) no member of either party would be required to follow such announced party policy except as he chose." As for consultation of these committees with the president, the committee said: "Improved understanding of each other's problems will be promoted By giving Congressional leaders a part in the formulation of policy, instead of calling upon them to enact programs prepared without their participation, better can be obtained. It would also be desirable to include the minority policy committee from time to time in these joint conferences on broad questions of foreign and domestic policy."

He does not believe that Messrs. Dewey, Brlcker, Warren or Vanden berg symbolise the kind of conserva Mr. Dewey's advocates point out that New York, New England. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and other Atlantic coast states have a total of approximately 140 electoral ballots, or more than half of the number required for election.

These areas, they add, have common economic and Industrial interest, and they maintain that he could probably sweep them easily. The Ohio faction, which Is more vocal and better organised at the Capital than the Deweyltes, reply that the Mtddls WestMichigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana have approximately 100 electoral votes, and that this territory may need more diligent cultivation than the Northeast. In the event of a Dewey-Taft-Brlcker deadlock, experienced polltlcos figure that Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, Senator-elect Martin of Pennsylvania or Oov. Earl Warren of California might he the man to break lt. tlve program or which he has fought on the senate floor.

So. lt is not hard to guess the Idetntlty of Mr. A WELCOME COMMITTEE CHANGE While there naturally is regret in the South at loss of various committee chairmanships in congress through the Republican landslide particularly in committees handling waterways legislation there is one committee shift that should be welcome to all who believe in the American way of government as opposed to New Deal collectivism and C. I. O.

dictation. That is the senate committee on education and labor. This committee, throughout much of the New Deal regime, was the dumping place and hiding place for any and all legislation dealing with labor which labor did not like and of course if labor did not like certain legislation neither did the White House, whether the latter was occupied by Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Truman.

Repeatedly in the past half dozen years or so the house has passed strong and sound legislation to bring labor to a plane comparable to that of other citizen groups, but always the bill, when it reached the senate, was dumped into the education and labor committee. There it either settled down to an endless pigeonhole life of cobwebs and dust, or else it was so emasculated before coming to the senate floor that it had little if any relation to its original form. That was the fate of the Hobbs anti-racketeering bill for years, and of other bills similar in nature. The Case bill was emasculated in this committee but the senate itself put back its teeth only to have Mr. Truman perform a new extraction or a veto.

But the reorganization of the committee by the Republicans will mean that the committee majority will wear new robes and presumably be built around new philosophies. For one thing, Chairman James E. Murray of Montana, who guided all legislation disliked by labor into dusty pigeonholes, no longer will 'be chairman. Senator Taft of Ohio could take the chairmanship through his seniority on the committee, but he holds equal seniority on the senate finance committee, which handles all tax matters, and he doubtless will prefer to be chairman of the latter. Senator Aiken of Vermont and Senator Ball of Minnesota are next in line by seniority.

Senator Ball is author or co-author of bills to curb labor rampages bills heretofore pigeonholed in this same committee. Aside from removal of Senator Murray as chairman, the elections also removed two ardent, rabid, 100 percent New Deal-Labor senators from the committee, as well as a third member of almost equal ardency along lines followed by the other two. The two 100 per centers are Guffey of Pennsylvania and Tunnell of Delaware, both overwhelmingly defeated for re-election. The third is Walsh of Massachusetts, also defeated. In addition.

Senator LaFollette, left-winger bearing the Progressive party label, was defeated in the Wisconsin Republican primary after the Progressive party disbanded. So, he is out, too. Along with Taft, Aiken and Ball, Republican members of the committee now are Smith of New Jersey, Morse of Oregon and Donnell of Missouri. Morse was a Roosevelt appointee in the wartime bureaucracy and leans New Dealishly in many matters. The others are more along lines of logical liberalism without leftism Probably five more G.O.P.

senators will be added to this group and several on the Democratic side probably will be withdrawn from the committee. Aside from the defeated Walsh, Guffey and Tunnell, the committee's Democratic membership in the last session pf congress included the ultra-aimless and super-leftist Pepper of Florida, Thomas of Utah, Ellender of Louisiana, Hill of Alabama, Chavez of New Mexico, Johnston of South Carolina and Fulbright of Arkansas. All of these either are holdovers or were re-elected. Regardless of individual personnel of the committee in the coming congress, it is not likely longer to be a mausoleum for anything and everything legislatively which happens to meet the disapproval of the C. I.

A. C. et al. ECONOMY? The announcements from time to time of further reductions in the personnel of federal pay rolls is pleasing on the surface, but some question as to the complete wisdom of the specific reductions being made may arise on closer inspection. The question is whether entirely too much reduction is being made in the civilian rolls of the armed forces.

In the first place, the civilian rolls of the armed forces include large numbers of persons with special training or qualifications not to be found, in the number needed, in the uniformed personnel. Whether the reductions are such as to hamper the armed forces themselves is something that only the experts can determine. But there seems to be a determination on the part of Mr. Truman and others of the administration to bring about the much promised and much vaunted "government economy" via reduction of budgets of the armed forces and that can be very unwise. On top of this comes news that a cut in uniformed personnel of the army's ground forces also has been ordered, presumably as a further "economy" measure.

Cuts in civilian and uniformed personnel in the armed forces help to create publicity stories indicating a journey along the economy path. But if they extend to the point of cutting or in any way hampering maintenance of national defense they are as dangerous as the so-called "economy" offered by Mr. Truman in ruthlessly freezing flood control and other federal waterway projects for which congress already had appropriated funds which appropriations had been approved by Mr. Truman in person, as president. CO-OPERATION OF THE TWO PARTIES A vehicle for co-operation between the new Republican senate and the president has already been provided for by law, though many may not know it.

Probably new legislation in the 80th congress will provide a means for similar co-operation between the president and the new Republican house. The first supplemental appropriations act of 1947, passed just before the final adjournment of the 79th Congress, carried an appropriation to cover expenses of a majority policy committee and a minority policy committee in the senate, for the formulation of over-all legislative policy of the respective parties. This provision accorded with one of the recommendations of the La Follette-Monroney joint committee on the reorganization of congress. It was contained in the reorganization bill as passed by the Senate by 49 to ir last June. However, it was one of the provisions disliked by the house leadership particularly Speaker Kayburn and was omitted from the bill as passed by the house.

To avoid a deadlock the senate agreed to the house deletions. Then the senate put through the provision ns affecting the senate alone in the first supplemental appropriations bill. There was no time for the house to make changes in this bill before passing it. Another La Follette-Monroney provision added by the Senate in this bill had similarly been deleted by the House in passing the Reorganization bill. This furnished an administrative assistant for each member of congress at a base salary of $8,000 a year.

Barnes of the United States district court. In Chicago, that Dutton was "willing to publish anything for money," Including "Under Cover." by a writer of whome the Judge said. "I wouldn't believe him on oath, now or at any time hereafter." I don't believe myself that Dutton has sunk as low as Judge Barnes thought. But I do think Its conduct here shows that some of the firm have got themselves Into a mental fix which gave them to put the Dutton prestige and Imprimatur on books which, on almost every page, take liberties with the reputations of others. Edmoncison and Macrae certainly aren't happy over the Judge's comments on their firm, but they are damned careless of the right of other men to their good character.

This furtive little sneak, Derounian, has a way of lousing up a person without actually accusing him of any wrong. Just because he doesn't like the victim or agree with his beliefs. He speaks of a woman with "a thin, scrawny face." Meaning no offense, maybe your wife or mother has a thin, scrawny face. Age do that. He says a man In Reynolds' office formerly had worked for another fellow who had "a history of 'promotions' of Florida swamp land.

When he describes the "thick accents" of a speaker, he does it real mean, the way Father Coughlln used to sneer the word "Jew." But Dave Dublnsky and Sidney Hillman together could have revived Weber and Fields without script or a rehearsal. Never me to advocate a boycott or suppression of anyone's book, except for filth or falsehood. But the 700.000 who bought "Under Cover." and probably twice that number who read It, probably thought they were reading the truth by an honest and courageous crusader against enemies within. And now a federal Judge, after hearing all the evidence in a suit against Dutton. says It mad outrageous charges, wholly unfounded, and sends Derounian on his way.

Dewey's run New York. Nov. 14 In reading "The Plotter," by young fellow who call himself John Roy Carlson, I type him as a cops-and-robbers character, troubled by fear. This book Is a sequel to a best seller called "Under Cover." which ran a score of 700.000 during the war and a gross sale at retail of $2,460,000, and was, a the author says In the preface to the new book, "prominently displayed on army library shelves." -Although, he admits that Carlson Is his "pen name" and says he has never made a secret of his real name, I find no mention of his real name, Derounian, anywhere In "Under, Cover" or "Ths Plotters." We have had this kind In ths newspaper business here and there, fellows who were police buffs or fans and played detective. I remember one whose expense account once contained the Item "to disguises, S23." and set the city room to kidding him about false whiskers and nose-putty.

He bobbed up In the army as a major, no less, doing "intelligence" work during the war, although honestly the stuff he turned up by Sherlocklng around with a calling lint of pickpockets and underworld gossips any city-side reporter with a reasonable personal acquaintance In the police department could have gathered by phone. don't fault our hero for using a monicker here and there In Joining a lot of Kluxy organizations to get their silly secrets, but I am beginning to get Just a little petulant over the recurring suggestion that bigotry, racial ferocity and all the ornery traits of humankind are found exclusively among Anglo-Saxons. I could stray off along tome Interesting bypaths pursuing this, but let us get back to the reason why I think Derounlnn has throat trouble, as they say in the baseball business of a man who chokes up with fear In the clutches. He says he "had a close call' when he went calling on Bob Reynolds, then a senator from North Carolina and "a strong nationalist and America Flrster." and I will have to Interrupt myself again to say that this fellow is dead against nationalism. He even spenks of one person as "a notorious nationalist" in a way to suggest that patriotism were felonious.

This notorious nationalist was a woman employed In Reynolds' outer office and our boj sort of hid his face and nerved out the ordeal of waiting. He had abused her in "Under Cover" and was afraid she recognized him. His "heart sank" when she passed a note to another woman at a desk and he was "sweating It out" when Reynolds came out to greet him. "Was Mrs. Washburn," the notorious nationalist, "waiting until was with Reynolds before exposing me, or were some of 'the boys' being gathered for a little 'reception to their ex-pal?" he writes.

His visit with Reynolds was untroubled, but still "once on the street." he says, "I made sure I wasn't followed." Well, now. Bob Reynolds is a big fellow, to be sure, and Derounian, understand, can make 135. But, In the first place, Reynolds la strictly a gab-man, a carnival professor to the life, not a scrapper, and moreover, weight and size are heavily discounted by years and sedentary living. A fairly healthy lightweight of Derou-nlan's youth probably could scratch him up In a short scuffle and If Reynolds had grabbed him to lean his weight on him, there still have been things a little guy could do. An aggressive little squirt coming at him with a glare and a roar might take the play away from him end run him around the room.

This is not a text on Judo or 63 ways to kill a man by hand without breaking the skin. But, all factors considered, I think Derounian makes himself look silly unnecessarily in revealing his fear of Mlstah Bob, suh. and the tortures Inflicted by his Imagination as he sat there and conjured a gang of "the boys" coming on the run to do him down. And his fear of being followed on the street confirms by belief that this fellow ought to get out of the young King Brady business and take up coloilng Christmas cards at home. I have had quite a talk with two officials of E.

Now, Mr. Taft's friends feel that he should have the call Mrt Dewey would stand a stronger chance if Republican prospects for 1948 did not look so bright. The The talk of "stalemate" and "deadlock" In government as a result of last week's congressional election Is perhaps natural, but lt may be safely predicted that such a contingency will never materialize on any really important Issues.

Hie executive and legislative branches of the government of the United States are more likely to cooperate and work together in the next two years than In any similar period In American history. There Is an Inclination to draw parallels with other Instances In' which the congress was dominated by one political party and the White House by the other. Differences there were and vetoes by the president, some of which were sustained and some overridden; but the words "deadlock" and "stalemate" are gross professionals, especially the Mldweat-erners, do not like him, considering him too New Dealinh because of his 1944 campaign conduct.

And lt may be asRiimed without question that a substantial number of southern Democrats will vote with their Republican colleagues from the North against any and all measures Involving encouragement to labor union leaders to extend their political control over this country.

But there Is another major reason why co-operation rather than deadlock between the executive and legislative branches of the government may be expected. It Is because there Is no personal antipathy to President Truman on Capitol Hill or anywhere else In the national capital. Mr. Truman's position on public questions Is usually attributed to those mistaken advisers who told him to play ball with ths left wing. It Is assumed now that hs will "see ths light" and go along with trie liberals and progressives In his own party rather than with the radicals of the Wallace-Pepper wing.

Back In 1018 when the congress changed from the Democratic to the Republican party, the bitterest kind of feeling prevailed against President Wilson. This unfortunately colored the League of Nations fight. Also Mr. Wilson had made the mistake of falling to co-operate with the Republicans In his selection of delegates to the Paris peuce conference In 1918 and fn the making of foreign policies. Mr.

Truman has followed the right course and bi-partisan co-operation on foreign policy has been an outstanding success. Mr. Truman knows congress well and if he will be himself and not be Influenced by left-wing radicals he will get more out of Capitol Hill In the next two years than he did In his first two years. If he does follow left-wing advice, he will find his vetoes overldden because the American people have voted Into office more than two-thirds In both houses who are antl-radtcal and antl-left-wlng. There will be no "deadlock." The people rule and happily the constitution did provide that congress, when it musters a two-thirds vote of both houses, is the government of the United States.

That was the safeguard against deadlocks And arbitrariness of party or individual. The American people have spoken and their wltihes in government will prevail. The future may be regarded with considerable optimism because the people have recaptured their own government the Republicans with their 348 seats can pick up 43 or mors votes from the Democratic side to get the necessary two-thirds to override presidential veto, and enough votes on some occasions to offset any defections In Republican ranks.
