Best description of what's going and at one time several years ago in Europe today was given by from Charles Ward, one of the elder statesman Bernie Baruch when he said we are in a "cold war." (Actually, Baruch gives credit to ghost-writer Heibert Bayard Swope for coining the In 1938, U. S. agents, then in- Europe without Russia. had received $20,000 from Ward, now head of Brown and Bigefow, However, it was necessary to call a new meeting to pro- wejl known st Pauli stationery firm.

Asked by this columnist about the payments, Mr. Ward said some money was paying it far flung aS OCia es this payment phrase.) What the Swope-Baruch team meant, of course, was that we are in a war of nerves, politics and labor movements.

Here is the portion of our secretary of state's address at Harvard on June 5 which resulted in the calling of the Paris conference last week: It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do in the return of normal economic health In the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is nut directed against any country or doctrine but against poverty, hunger, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should he the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist. Such assistance, I am convinced, must not be on a piecemeal basis as various crises develop.

assistance that this government may render the future should provide a cure rather than a mere palliative. Any gtwernment that is willing to assist the taslv of recov- erv will find full co-operation. I am sure, on the part of the United States government. Any government which maneuvers to block the of other countries cannot expect help from us. Furthermore, governments, political parties or groups, which seek to perpetuate human misery in order to profit therefrom, politically or otherwise, will encounter the opposition of the United States.

It is already eiident that, before the United States government can proceed much further in its efforts to alleviate the situation and help start the European world on its way to recov- erv, there must be some agreement among: the countries of Europe as to the requirements of the situation and the part those countries themselves will take in order to gn.e proper effect to whatever action might be taken by this government. It would be neither fitting nor efficacious for this government to attempt to draw up unilaterally a program designed to place Europe on its feet economically. This is the business of the Europeans The i i i a i I i must come from Europe The role of this country should consist of fnendlv aid the drafting of a Ejrooean of later support of such a program, so far as it a be pracncnl for us to do so The pro- pram shouid be a one, to by a mmbe-, if not all European nations. vestigation. MISSION TO PARIS.

However, what does arouse the curiosity of government agents is the departure of Virginia Hill, together with a Chinese woman doctor, Dr. Chung, and a French wine merchant for Paris a few weeks before Bugsy was bumped off. Miss Hill said she was going I to France to establish a champagne I agency, and, considering the fact that her champagne bill at Ciro's on one night alone was $7,000. her desire to import her own champagne is understandable. At about the same time Mis.s Hill departed 1 for Pans, a associate of i leaders, thus undermining Axis politics and industry.

In today's cold war the same thing is even more necessary--but with not one cent being spent on it. In contrast, the Russians have agents in U. S. factories, in U. S.

labor unions, even some in U. S. government offices. And to get monpy from congress so we won't have to sweat out this cold war with our mouth gagged and one arm tied behind our back, General Marshall literally has to get down on his knees before congress. Even then he doesn't get twhat he really needs.

Virginia Hill has been one of the most lavish entertainers in Hollywood, spending an estimated 000 a year. It was at her Beverly Hills home that Bugsy Siegel was killed A gold key to her house was found in his pocket.

R.eece has delirium The growing tendency to by-pass the United Nations cropped out in the senate foreign relations committee when the Vandenturg group voted to join the world health organization with a big "but" namely that the United States had 'the right to withdraw on 90 days' notice. The U. S.

A. was the only country asking You can't tell a player without a score card, so maybe it isn't too early to start labeling the nine members of the supreme court for the parts they'll play when the new labor act comes before them--as it probably will do between now and the presidential election. Historical implications of this big showdown already are building up and they'll be clearly highlighted against the national skyline by the time the game is played--perhaps as soon as next October, when the court reconvenes. The nine young men are the team that Roosevelt put together for the purpose of sustaining his new deal. Seven of the present players were his personal appointments.

The other two were appointed by F. D. chosen successor. Only one of the nine is a republican. And the issue? Depends on where you're sitting in the stands.

Some say the test point to be: "Is the constitution what the congress says it is?" This--in 1937--was a Roosevelt tenet. Will his team follow that rule now--in 1947-when congress is no longer a Roosevelt congress? Only twice in 10 years (neither case involved social legislation) have the nine young men negated an act of congress. Their predecessors nullified 16 federal laws between 1930-36. Other watchers of the game will find the issue in another Roosevelt catch phrase: "Human versus property rights." Is the labor act a slave "bill? Can its strict application bring about "involuntary servitude" in violation of the thirteenth amendment? Does it muzzle free speech or otherwise invade personal liberties? Either or both issues, plus some human factors, will decide the fate of the act, in whole or part. But the game itself will be played by men who wear identifying insignia that shine through their satin robes.

The score card I'm holding reads like this: Chief Justice Vinson, a former congressman who came up through the new deal training farms. An intimate friend of President Truman, who appointed him. In the opinion of Washington observers, Vinson is not incapable of mixed motives. If the president really means what he said about the act, Vinson might find it in his conscience to accommodate an old friend in trouble. for doubtful.

Justice Black. Former senator, a leading figure and an early beneficiary of the celebrated court- packing episode. A since, long-time friend of labor. But also a. believer in letting congress have its way.

for doubtful. Justice Reed. As F. D. solicitor general, led the new deal fight in court battles.

Very sensitive about civil rights, but a man with his own mind, and no quibbler. for upholding the labor law. Justice Frankfurter. Former professor of Harvard law school. An institutionalist.
