Admiral Cooke, now at sea. was not available for comment, but thi! radiograms tell their own story. Hero thoy are: "I'Voin Admiral Cooke to J.t.

You are authorized to remain In Shanghai or to return here for further return to Shanghai probably October. 'Your suggestion of putting binder on car for seven hundred dollars Admirals, of course, believe in helping admirals. So, later, Rear Adm, Apollo Soucek, now Com- rnuncler of Fleet Air Wing 1, radioed Admiral Cooke regarding the shipment of the automobile from Okinawa: "Captain Connelly assumed per- Honal charge and udvmucl that shipment would be made LST 3141 ubou't October.

Kcononilsts Former War Production Board economist Bob Nathan was disturbed the other day to read an'at- tack upon his analysis of corporation profits released by AFL presi-j dent Kill Green.

Nathan, therefore, Hod Margaret Scattergood, one o-f the AFL's top economists, to ask about it. "Who wroto that analysis of my report, Margaret?" he asked, "I wrote it," replied Miss Sent- tcrgood, "Well. I just want to ask you ono ciuc.stlon," Nathan said. "Did you read my report before you wrote 'No," replied the AFL economist Kinitson's Ik-buff Congressional leaders hushed It up, but one of the oldest traditions of Capitol history was broken when the Senate-House joint Budget Committee rejected babbling, tax- cutting" Congressman of Minnesota as its Chairman and elected New York's John Taber n.ilcad, Always In the past the man chosen to head up joint committees that deal with budget and tax has been the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee this case, This is because the Ways and Means Is the Ilrai: and oldest Houce committee, as well as the creator of all other House committees. It initia- utc.M all tax legislation for both the House and Senate, However, when the joint Budifpt Committee was organized, chatterbox Knutson, Chairman of Ways and Means, was deliberately pas.snd over by his own Republican nol- leagues In favor of Taber.

To -make the buff all the more humiliating. Knut.ion wa.s actually presiding at the time It happened. The Minnesotan expected to re- main in the chair arter his per- unctory nominAtion tor permanent chairman, but alert GOPRep. 2verett Dirksen of Detroit roue in the closed session and moved the lomlnution of Taber Instead. Ae if by a prearranged signal, Clarence Cannon of Missouri, the retiring Democratic Appropriations Chairman, was on his feet with a seconding speech.

Other members responded with a resounding, unanimous vote of approval. For once the usually pompous Knutson was speechless. He turned ashen white but said nothing. Murahairs 100 Per Cont Backing Few men in history have ever assumed the post of Secretary of Stale with as much White House backing as General Marshall. President simply can't get nvnr what a "wonderful man Marshall Is," brags about him to almost every White House oallcr.

After Marshall was sworn in, Truman received a group of prominent women civic leaders, onq of his first remarks was what an "outstanding man the General is." Next morning, Truman received Democratic Senator Warren Mog- nuson and Congressman Henry "Scoop" Jackson, the lone Democrats from Washington state. "Well," Truman said, "I've got: a mighty great man working for me now. General Marshall is one of the best men who ever lived. "Why, do you know," continued the President, an absolutely phenomenal memory. He can remember a meeting that he had with the President two years after It happened.

He can even tell you the day and hour, exactly what was talked about, without any notes. I certainly am expecting big thrngs from 'him," Both legislators agreed that Mar- shull was an excellent choice. fCopyrlght, 3947, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
