and C. B. S. launch their daily duel from 7 a. m.

to 9. By way of illustrating this healthy sword-jcrossing, we'll tell the recent story of Haile Selassie. A week ago last Tuesday morning, Dave Garroway proudly announced that a newsman from "Today" was, at that moment, waiting at the pier, ready to be the first to interview the famous Emperor the second he stepped on American soil. "The Mornlng Show" hired a Reed works with three simple tug ana placed a TV camera, maps ot the United States. One (Published exclusively in New England in the Boston Globe.

Tuesday, November 15, The Republicans made very substantial gains on Election Day, Nov. 8, but I could not read in the returns any conclusive repudiation of the President or of his policies. It is true that many New Deal candidates lost, the most serious defeat being that of Gov. Murphy of Michigan. However, I learned when I was in Michigan that Congressman Dies put on a witness before his preposterous committee who testified, ad lib, that Gov.

Murphy gave aid and comfort to Communists in his state in connection with the sit-down strikes there a year or two ago. Undoubtedly this hurt Murphy a great deal. So far as PWA Is concerned, unfair thing of the sort that has it came through this campaign ver taken Place- without any serious question ute Wednesday afternoon I being raised as to the honesty gav' cuslng Dies of allowing his com- of its administration. To be mittee to be used as a sounding sure, Congressman Dies let out board for a dictatorshl a blurb yesterday to the effect and accusing him of a lack of aboard.

He wants the stage all to himself.

In anticipation of Dies winning as he hai, I asked the President the other day whether I might not now go ahed and deliver my speech "Playing with Loaded Dies." I think that the occasion when I am to speak in Cleveland on the twenty-seventh tefore the School Executives Association would be i good onj. The President agreed to this. Here was another example of a complete falling down of the socalled Democratic leadershiD of the House. The President wanted this Investigation cut off sharp. If this could not be done, he wanted either a combination with La Toilette's Senate committee that is investigating civil liberties or enlarged committee on which some friends of the Administration could be placed.

Both the Speaker and Sam Hay-burn, Majority "Leader," feebly told him that they "would do what they could" and then they abjectly surrendered to the blatant and demagogic Dies. I regard this as a distinctly dangerous situation. I cannot for-get that Mussolini rose to absolute power in Paly as a result of a "Communist" hunt; that Hitler did the same thing in Germany; that Japan invaded China in order to suppress that England has groveled on its to sit in oa the emporer inter' view. on this show are on a par with those of "Today," there is often a distinct difference in news presentation. On "The Morning Show," Collingwood frequently gives a brief evaluation of a news The NBC newsman aboard the liner United States, observing the CBS TV camera on the tug and tne LBb newsman on the ship con ducting the interview conceded item.

To the contrary, Frank Blair, a "Todav" staffer, stands a. his network was "scooped." In good sportsmanship he later con gratulated the CBS newsman for' reads tne latest news irom a sneai of papers without even a slight voice inflection as he passes from the news When the ship finally reached one item to the next that he was going to ask Congress for money to investigate both PWA and WPA, but Dies is an ass.
