WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
Byrnes Faces Pro-wFranco Fiasco
DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON-Wise-owl Sec. State Jimmy
Byrnes has decided not to consider State De-
partment reorganization of personnel until he
returns from the Big Three conference. Most
other policy matters, unless of major importance,
will also wait.
One policy matter which will come up for
review soon--it may even be brought up by
Stalin at Berlin-is our continued close re-
lation with Dictator Franco of Spain.
Byrne's predecessors in the State Depart-
ment, led by Jimmy Dunn, have followed a
policy of sending oil, sugar and other strate-
gic materials to Franco. If we withheld these
or withdrew our ambassador, Franco would
fall overnight.
The extreme lengths to which Byrnes' prede-
cessors in the State Department have gone. to
protect Franco is known to very few. For in-
stance, it has been kept a carefully hushed-up
secret, that, in advance of the San Francisco
conference, State Department officials brought
pressure to bear on several Latin American
governments to keep them from breaking with
Franco.
stances under which Patrick J. Hurley, U.S.
ambassador to China, received $75,000 from
the Sinclair Oil Company during 1945, and
$108,000 from Sinclair in 1942, while in U.S.
'Army uniform.
Senator Langer also asked how many times
Ambassador Hurley has visited the oil-rich
countries of the Near East on his way to China,
an area in which U.S. oil companies have a big
stake.

Poland Recognized
DEMOCRACY, LONG NEGLECTED in central
Europe, may have a chance to go into action
now that the United States, Great Britain, and
China have sanctioned a Polish provisional gov-
ernment of national unity.
After much bickering and stalling, the Allies
have agreed upon a government in accordance
with the Yafta agreement; the Warsaw govern-
ment has been expanded to include other Polish
democrats, with Stanislaus Mikolajczyk, former
London-Polish leader, as vice-premier. Follow-
ing the Crimean plan, the United States recog-
nition provides that the new government' must
hold free elections later.
The news of such agreement on a provisional
coalition is obviously significant as the end of
a cause of Big Three friction and as the be-
ginning of the working of past Allied plans
for sponsoring representative governments.
Minor problems remain, matters of the ordin-
ary workings of a new government. However,
these problems, plus the existence of the London
government may accumulate and aggravate the
age-old conflict of groups in Poland.
-Pat Cameron
Fraternity
CLUBS FRATERNITIES, nations-these are
the beloved barriers in the way of a workable
world; these will have to surrender some of their
rights and some of their ribs. A "fraternity" is
the antithesis of fraternity. The first (that is,
the order or organization) is predicated on the
idea of exclusion; the second, (that is, the ab-
stract thing) is based on a feeling of total
equality.
Anyone who remembers back to his fraternity
days at college recalls the enthusiasts in his
group, the rabid members, both old and young,
who were obsessed with the mystical charm of
membership in the particular order. They were
usually men who were incapable of genuine
brotherhood or at least unaware of its implica-
tions. Fraternity begins when the exclusion
formula is found to be distasteful.
The effect of any organization of a social
and brotherly nature is to strengthen rather
than to diminish the lines which divide people
into classes; the effect of state and nations
is the same and eventually these lines will
have to be softened; these powers will have
to be generalized. It is written on the wall that
this is so. I'm not inventing it, I'm just copy-
ing it off the wall.
-E. B. White, as quoted in the
New York Times Book Review,
June 10, by Clifton Fadiman.
Hospital Aides
ALTHOUGH summer enrollment represents a
drop of almost 50 per cent among women
students as compared with last fall's registra-
tion, the need for hospital volunteers has not
decreased.
From 50 to 150 women are needed to help in
Sovereign Nations
. *
I ATIN AMERICAN countries are sovereign na-
tions and not supposed to require advice on
how to conduct their relations with European
neutrals. However1 on April 4, when a resolution
was about to be presented in the Cuban Con-
gress, the American embassy in Havana dis-
creetly but vigorously protested. So, virtually
taking orders from the U.S.A., Cuban foreign
minister Cuervo Rubio met in secret session with
the Committee on Foreign Affairs and urged
that no action be taken toward a break with
Spain. Temporarily, the resolution was held up;
to be passed overwhelmingly about a month
later.
Again, on April 26, the Venezuelan Chamber
of Deputies was discreetly informed that it
must withdraw its resolution calling for a
break with Franco. A much more diplomatic-
ally worded resolution was substituted.
Also, the Costa Rican Congress voted 36 to 3
to break relations with Spain. But suddenly U.S.
diplomats called upon the Costa Rican president
and foreign minister, and assurances were given
that no action would be taken to break with
Franco.
In the end, such a surge of anti-Franco re-
sentment boiled up at San Francisco that State
Department officials were powerless to stem the
tide..
However, more show-downs regarding our
pro-Franco policy are certain to come up un -
less the new State Department under Jimmy
Byrnes beats Latin Americans to it by revis-
ing our pro-Franco policy.
Middle Roaders
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
WHAT HAS HAPPENED to American conserv-
ative opinion since the accession of Presi-
dent Truman?
It seems to be having its troubles. The Ameri-
can conservative finds, himself, in spite of him-
self, rather fond of the new President. He is a
Missouri farmer, who spent his boyhood follow-
ing a pair of mules; he is not an Easterner, who
might conceivably have passed his formative
years curled up with a copy of the New Repub-
lic, or the Nation.
It is obvious to right and left alike that no
dim ideological visions haunt the new Presi-
dent. Even his habit of making important ap-
pointments on a more or less straight party
basis, by and with the advice of Mr. Robert
E. Hannegan, rather endears the new Presi-
dent to the opposition. That is being a Presi-
dent, as politicians understand the job; it is
reassuringly familiar; and the Republicans
would rather see a straight party man in of-
fice, who froze them out, than a liberal who
would give some of them jobs, for ideological
reasons. They infinitely prefer losing to a
politician, rather than to a prophet.
AT THE SAME TIME, the American conserva-
tive has a certair sinking feeling; he real-
izes that Mr. Truman does not intend to cause
the repeal of any of the New Deal reform laws.
The American conservatives may be glad that
Mr. Roosevelt is no longer in office; but the feel-
ing is growing on him that though he has won
a battle, he has lost a war. So long as Mr. Roose-
velt was president, the fight over the labor re-
lations act, social security, the regulatory agen-
cies, etc., was a fight in the present tense. With
Mr. Truman's accesssion, these disputes become
a wrangle over ancient history.
A blow at Mr. Roosevelt was a blow at re-
form; a blow at Mr. Truman is a blow at Mr.
Truman. It is no longer possible to make sub-
tle point against trade unionism by saying
something about the President's wife.
American conservatism had a dream about
the administration which would succeed Mr.
Roosevelt's; it was going to be (so fantasy had
it) an administration whose leading figures
would devote happy months to tearing up stat-
utes and throwing bits of paper ecstatically over
their shoulders. But a neutral kind of adminis-
tration has succeeded Mr. Roosevelt's instead,
and the American conservative does not know
quite how to deal with well-intentioned neu-
trality.
THE OLDER AMERICAN conservatism has
been thrown a bit off balance by these events.
It does not quite know what to do next, and
so it stages inconclusive demonstrations. It
seizes a Senate committee, and hands down a
tough report against cutting tariffs. But the
report is disregarded on the 'floor. It makes a
field day of the earlier stages of drafting im-
portant legislation; it howls and roars and
writes in the most terrible proscriptions against
O.W.., and the most dreadful plans for ending
price control, knowing full well as it does that
all this matter will be thrown out in conference,
and on the final vote, and that all that is being
accomplished is to articulate a hopeless passion.
Watching all this, we begin to see in a new
way what the Truman administration is. It
is the new American conservatism. It is a con-
servatism which has been able to accept, and
swallow, and digest the reforms of the last
few years, and then go on; it is kindly, well-
meaning, devoted to American ways, but it
lacks that quotient of irreconcilability which
marks and dates the older conservatism. It
is a true synethesis of many elements, a fact
which gives it an inescapably modern char-
acter, and makes the older conservatism seem
narrow, attenuated, and primitive.
We had hoped that the older conservatism,
would "learn a lesson," accept modern reform,
and push ahead. It never did, but men who
have learned the lesson have pushed it aside
and come to power.

"Rather French," someone com-
mented at the conclusion of L'Orage,
or Confessions of a Bride, its English
title. This is the story, so the legend
goes, of a tempestuous love - and
very stormy it is.
Charles Boyer is handsome as ever
and twice as debonair and Michele
Morgan quite the "femme fatale..
Boyer, in love with the lovely Michele,
is most inconveniently married. Boyer
is harried,Miss Morgan is tortured
and the wife is long-suffering.
The two principles did as much
with their roles as a rather hack-
neyed story would permit, but this
stereotyped version of the ever-
present triangle gave them very
little with which to work. The film
contained the cliche to end all
cliches - "I suppose you despise
mne,"says Miss Morgan the morn-
ing after.
Nonetheless, it's well worth see-
ing, if only for the seriousness with
which the French treat their marital
tragedies. -Betty Roth

At the Sate :
"The Royal Scandal," supposedly a
Ernst Lubitsch comedy is a parody
of Russian life during the era of
Catharine the Great.
a In the role of Catherine is Tall-
lah Bahkhead whose voice is the
product of a iot ct cigarette smoke.
Opposite, Tallulah in the male lead
was William Eythe who looks pretty
in a uniform, but should have been
cast in something else - anything
else.
At the Michigan:
"Brewster's Millions" is a light
comedy which was funnier than "The
Royal Scandal,"and was nothhammed
up so often.
Dennis O'Keefe takes the role of
a discharged G.. who suddenly ob-
tains a fortune which he must spend
in order to meet the stipulations of
his uncle's will.
The plot, by no means new, gets a
little more complicated as the pic-
ture rolls on, so a detailed summary
is not necessary.
There were numerous off-color re-
marks in the show which prompted
the lady behind me to comment
about the absence of the Will Hays
influence. Also Helen Walker, the
feminine lead wears a dress in the
opening scenes which makes her quite
a neat package - if you like that
sort of thing. -Bob Goldman
Sugared Spain
- * S
Meanwhile, at as secret meeting just before
Byrnes took the oath, State Department officials
proposed sending 60,000 tons of sugar to Spain.
This is a reduction from theprevious year's ship-
ment to Spain, which totaled 100,000 tons.
One official sitting in on the hush-hush
meeting remarked:
"Wait till the newspapers get hold of this
one."
State Department officials claim that if we
do not sell sugar to Franco he will come into
the Cuban market and buy it anyway in com-
petition with us. However, the Cuban govern-
ment is anything but pro-Franco, and not
likely to do as much business with him as the
State Department seems to think.

ONE STATE DEPARTMENT headache which
new Secretary Jimmy Byrnes is inheriting is
a letter addressed to under secretary Joe Grew
from forthright Senator Langer of North Da-

Langer has asked Grew about the cireum-
Bicycle Menace
DOES ANYONE have at his command an
equivalent of the golfer's "Fore!" that could
be used by campus bicyclists? Pedestrians, with
the exception of a few hardy souls who possess
a superior amount of agility, are often in need
of an adequate approach signal, now that the
fleet of bicycles is loose on campus walks.
Lacking such a warning, they might settle
for a little less rambunctious riding. Con-
sideration on the part of those lucky enough
to have bikes would avoid all sorts of nasty
collisions as well as protect the grass upon
which walkers usually retreat.
