When the Hon. James Clement Dunn wae up for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee investigation and ratification for appointment as Assistant Secretary of State in charge of averytlsng except Western hemisphere a lot of1 rocks were thrown at the gentleman because of. his alleged pro-Fascist and anti-democratic lean-, ings. Specifically he was charged with being pro-j franco, anti-de Gaulle, anti-Soviet and, by intimation. anti-Semitic.

And because he was an', adviser to former Secretary of State Cordell Dunn was credited or blamed with being respon-, sible for shaping the policy which the United 8tates, government has followed in dealing with Spanish, french and other problems. None of thase charges waa ever satisfactorily! cleared up. Most of the Senate Foreign Relations Committees testimony wss taken in executive ses-. aion. Dunn made ft blanket denial of all the charges in the committees one open session.

And he was eventually confirmed, which would indicate he was found not guilty. i JJUT because of this mans key position as head of European, African, Near Eastern and Far Eastern divisions of the Department of Slate and because of the Important dealings which the United States must have with countries of the old world in the immediate future, it may be worth while trying to get at the bottom of hi record. first take thi pro-Franco charge. Jimmy Dunn hat been given I the blame for shaping the policy of the American arms embargo! which made it illegal to send arms to Republican Spain, as a result ct which Franco was able tn overthrow the established government, putting Spain in the Axis camp. The Spanish revolution broke out on July 10, 1930.

In July, 1935. Dunn had been named chief of the Division of Western European Affairs in the Department of Btate and as such he would be nominally in charge of dealings with the Spanish government. But in June, 1936, just before the revolution broke out, Mr. Dunn himself broke out with stomach Ulcers and went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. While he was gone, the S.

President on Aug. 22 announced his own "hands off policy with regard to the Spanish revolution. Jimmy1 Dunn apparently had nothing to do with it. President was, In a sense, bound to set this course by previous! congressional action. In August, 1935, Congress had passed thei Neutrality Act, making unlawful the export pf arms to any belligerent! country.

On Jan. 6, 1937, the President sent his annual message to and two days later, by unanimous vote in the Senate and by 406 to 1, in the House Congress passed the joint resolution declaring strict neutrality in the Spanish revolution and embargoing shipments ot arms to either faction. This is a result of congressional declaration' of policy not presidential nor State Department policy, James C. Dunn had nothing to do with its writing, and as Assistant Secretary Btate he would be one of those directly charged with seeing that nia policy would be carried out.

Randolph Maddox, former vice president and general manager of the West Virginia company was promoted to general manager of th Washington company yesterday. It seems to be the habit of the company to promote former West Virginia manager for Charles A.

Mr. Maddox, who is ft native of Maryland, became general manager of the West Virglnl acompany in 1H1.

So perhaps the least remarkable thing about the beginning of President Roosevelts fourth term is the fourth term itself.

But this does not mean that his be- coijingly brief and simple Inauguration is not an im-- portant milestone. For one thing It serves a good place to pause for a look at what has happened since Mr, Roosevelts third re-election. Momentous events have taken place in those ten weeks the German offensive in Belgium, the manpower and production crisis at home, and the outspoken differences of Allied policy. These events have served to quiet the high emotions' of the November election and to bring the country back to sober and rather disheartening reality. Their very seriousness has resolved many of our do-.

mestic differences. They have brought some hotheaded proposals of solutions, of course, but their general ef- feet has been to unify. A promise of unity has been seen in Washington as well as elsewhere in the country. It was evident in the Presidents conciliatory message to Congress and in his new appointments to the State Department. It was further evident in Senator Vandengergs speech on foreign policy, which gave hope of greater co-operation between Congress and the White House in the future.

Mr. Roosevelts State Department selections distressed some of the New Deal press and public, but they seem to have ffiurid favor with a bipartisan ma-1 jority of Americans. It was apparent that domestic politics and policies were not uppermost in the President's mind when he made them. And in making them it was obvious that he had moved slightly toward the middle from hlS self-styled course a little left of center. This move of the Presidents was matched by the influential Republican leader, Senator Vandenberg, whoe foreign policy program swung him very close to Mr.

Roosevelts. The promise of these events, together with the 1 good news from the Philippines and the eastern and western European fronts, permitted Mr. Roosevelts third term to end at a hopeful moment. That hope did not, however, translate itself into last summers national mood of fatuous optimism. Mr.

Roosevelt occupies the spotlight of public attention today not because he is our first fourth-term President. The public attention is directed beyond the inauguration to Mr. Roosevelts imminent and crucial meeting with Mr. Churchill and Mr. Stalin, He Catries to this meeting a more direct mandate than any he has taken to the previous conferences of national leaders.

It seems safe to say that it was Mr. Roosevelts experience and wisdom in former meetings which played a large part in his re-election. But it is also clear that, whilehe takes 'with him again the Amer-1 lean peoples confidence and trust, he also carries their demand for action and solution, and a candid accounting of decisions reached.

Congressman Bailey drew: Coinage, Weights And Measures, Indian Affairs, Patents and Pensions. Congressman Neely, who was sworn in Tuesday, has appointment to only one Commute ao far but that la an important one Post office and Post roads. Doubtless other will be assigned him before the Organization is completed.

Representative John Kee was again named to th4 foreign Affairs Committee. He now stands third in line in seniority. The Republicans lost Andrew 0. gehiffler from that committee and hare not named hlg successor. Representative Jennings Randolph Is still chairman of the District of Columbia committee of the House.

The Republicans lost two members of that committee, Rowe, of Ohio, and Rotirbough. of West Virginia. In addition Randolph is on Civil Service, Mines and Mining, Labor and Roads.
