As is not unusual in such cases, the result of the special is an inevitable accompaniment of the two-party system under which we operate. In each of the major parties an organization, state and national, is essential. And the orgam- tlection in the state of Washington's third congressional zation whoee party is power flittet provided leaders of both major political parties op- pcrtunity to issue statements containing the traditional "we certainly are encouraged" theme. Leonard W. Hall, chairman of the national republican the victorious party.

congressional committee, declared the victory of Russell V. Mack showed the democrats can win neither with nor with- ronage, state and Everybody expects most of the jobs which had been monopolized by the defeated party to be taken over by obstructing the Perlman confirmation until the adjournment of congress in July when, under law, his nomination would automatically lapse. Not only will this be an injustice to the thoroughly fit man, bill giving but none to the high-brackets. Follow- key leaders P. steering committee and the ways and means committee held a secret meeting, at which the following strategy was devised: (1) Knowing that they do not have the votes to override a Truman veto--and thus pass the tax bill over the president's head--the G.

O. P. leaders decided to make no concerted fight for an over- rider. (2) The house G. O.

P. leadership may sit tight and not even offer a motion to override. In fact, if a motion is offered, a group of republicans led by Repre- but it will have caused this impor- sentatlve Clarence Brown of Ohio tant post to be vacant for more than a year, which is a disservice to the nation. It is the sort of will actually vote to sustain the president to further insure the death of their own tax bill. But there is a limit, beyond which rhis kind of partisanship is indefensible.

For example, there is no excme when it clearly clashes with out their Henry Wallace wing, claimed it was a victory for I -IP it- i i 4 1 found republicanism, and reminded everybody that the dis-1 the national interest And certainly trict has gone republican only twice in the last 16 years. Democrats averred it was really a democratic victory because the majority of the winner was greatly reduced over that received by the republican candidate last November. They claimed to see in this adequate proof that the "revolution" spirit so obvious in the political world last fall has now almost completely subsided. The conclusion of the average independent would be that nothing much was proved for either side by this particular special election, unless it is that the 1948 election is going to be decided in 1948, not in 1947. President Truman's popularity, at low ebb last November, unquestionably was greatly improved after his firm dealing with John L.

Lewis. Just now, however, he is facing serious tests in the matter of his approval or disapproval of the tax-reduction and labor bills. Next week we shall learn about his decision in these important matters and predictions as to 1948 will be more clearly indicated. there should be some standard to apply to a situation such as now exists, where the appointing power is in the hands of a president of one party but the senate is controlled by the other party. Under such conditions, the senate is justified in refusing confirmation of unfit men to important federal posts.

However, under such conditions a president would be stupid to nominate an obviously unfit man, and if his nominee is obviously fit, he is clearly entitled to confirmation. To refuse such a nominee confirmation is offensive partisanship, which ignores the national interests. The point is here made that the republican senate majority is giving aft extremely unsavory exhibition of this kind of partisanship. It is the sort of thing of which the more decent and responsible republican leaders should be-and some are--ashamed. la the mass, the outstanding instance is that since January not one of President Truman's appointees to postmasterships (numbering more than 800 and many of them war veterans) has been confirmed.

In particular, beside the case of former Attorney General Francis Biddle, named by Mr. Truman to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, there is the case of Mr. Philip B. Perlman, named for solicitor general of the United States, bers of others. And there are num- As for Mr.

Perlman, One Editor's Journalistic Ideals. Edward Bellamy won fame by "Looking Backward," the book he wrote promoting his idea of a modem Utopia. His aon, Paul Bellamy, has won fame hi his profession by his promotion of a successful newspaper--the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Recently his staff celebrated the fortieth anniversary of Bellamy's going with the paper and Herman Bonchek "wrote him up" for Editor Publisher. Here are some of the things Bonchek considers as explanations for Paul Bellamy's success in the journalistic field: A newspaper, Bellamv once said in one of his speeches, is like a person.

Shortly before President Truman fired hira, Assistant Secretary of State Spruille Braden was discussing Argentine affairs at the White House, at which time the president said: "Spruille, I want you to know that I'm 100 per cent behind you. I'll back you all the way." Elated, Braden went back to the state department There a friend remarked: "That's exactly what Truman said to Henry Wallace the day before he fired him. He told Henry he would back him all the way, too. Next day Wallace was out." Henry Morgenthau'a friends tell the same story. After Roosevelt died, Morgenthan offered to resign as secretary of the treasury, but Truman insisted that he remain.

In fact, the week before Truman left for Potsdam, he summoned Morgenthau to the House, clasped his hand and said: "Henry, when I took this job, I didn't know you very well. But since I've worked with you, Tve begun to feel like a brother towards you. And I want you to feel like a brother towards me." Exactly eight days later, and without prior warning. Truman sent his hatchet man, Sam Rosenman, around to see Morgenthau, handed him his walking papers. REPUBLICANS GET TOtJOH.

Senator Taft and cohorts suddenly have got tough regarding the gentlemanly practice of "pairing." 1 This Is a time-honored system whereby an absent democratic senator can offset his absence by "pairing" with a republican senator or vice versa. Thus one "no" vote counteracts a "yea" vote. When the democratic move to postpone action on taxes came up, however, some Interesting backstage byplay took place regarding this parliamentary etiquette. Senator John Overton, Louisiana democrat, twice telegraphed from Arizona, where he is resting for lils health, requesting a "pair" with his close republican friend, Guy Cordon of Oregon, later with Ed Robertson of Wyoming. Both replied: "Sorry." Hospitalized democratic Kenneth I i ct lately ijmonn? the answers, opinions down somebody's The Plain Dealer, he says, believes the proper way to present editorial opinions is in the same manner that a gentleman discusses issues ivith a friend, asking 'don't you think this is or stating his belief and ending with 'I hope you'll agree with 'If a newspaper is arrogant and didactic.

Davidson carried the message to influential Senator Milllkin of Colorado. "I would like to do it," Mlllikin shrugged, "but the vote is too close This is one bird we can't let get away." Afterward, Milllkin admitted an advance agreement a reached with Taft against granting pairs. But he said it applied only to the one issue. Apparently, Majority Leader White of Maine had not heard of the decision, for he said he tried to find pair for McKellar without success.

President Phil Murray has stepped to settle a raging feud between east coast maritime labor boss Joe Curran and west coast longshoremen leader Harry Bridges which threatens to blow CIO maritime unity sky-high. This was the reason ehind a secret meeting Murray held in Ne-w Tork yesterday at which Curran and his right-hand man, Hoyt Haddock, secretary of CIO national maritime committee, gave their side of the tiff with Bridges.

The tempest started over Bridges' efforts to replace Haddock with a personal stooge in Washington NMC headquarters. However, the real issue goes much deeper and involves a long-standing row between Curran and Bridges for top control of CIO maritime labor. Curran told Murray that Bridges was using the Haddock issue to stir up internal dissension during contract negotiations with ship- when, Curran contended, the martime unions should be pull- Ing together, not apart. I Note--Murray, who once threa ened to toss Bridges out of the CIO for troublemaklng, is most anxious to avoid trouble on the verge of a threatened shipping strike and with labor legislation pending.

DBI8OOIX New York--Richard Evans, "The Spoken Word" man of the Mormon Tabernacle choir programs, was in town for several In consultation with radio tycoons. We had good conversation. Evans is aware of the fact that I have been a fan of the Sunday programs and the great organ for many years. I have never heard a better organ, and the choir is magnificently inspiring.

Again Evans asked me to visit Salt Lake City and witness a concert in person, but I reminded him that this Is one of the desirable pleasures of life that I shall never experience. A heart that will not take altitude makes it Impossible. Evans is a soft-spoken, kindly, neighborly man, well versed In music and philosophy. He tells me that the choir is again back to normal size, 400 voices, after having lost many of its members to the war during the last few years. Certainly It sounds better than normal as It sings out those grand old hymns of praise and worship every Sunday.

Good fortune go with the Spoken Word and the great music-makers of Salt lake City! A book of horrors that matches anything that has come out of the war and its Insufferable cruelty Is the Last Path," by Eugene Weinstock, a Jewish refugee who is now working as a carpenter In New York.

The worst nightmare you ever had is sane, reasonable imaging compared with this stark realism. No, not related to Radio Tycoon David Sarnoff.

But my special friend is the dog, and I don't like ill-mannered cats that kill our songbirds.
