Committee of the Whole
The country can only benefit if the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee inquiry into the U-2
incident is as soberly and responsibly conducted as
chairman J. W. Fulbright intends it to be.
He has set all the right ground rules, including
closed door sessions with censored reports released
to the public. In launching the inquiry, he has also
fortunately gained the unanimous support of all
committee members of both parties.
Nevertheless, the partisan clamor already
stirred on this issue suggests it will be extremely
difficult to keep committee findings from being used
by both sides as political ammunition in this presi-
dential year.
It is not in the nature of politicians to sit on
material they think may cut the ground from under
their opponents at the polls. This does not mean
they will consciously and deliberately exploit trouble
at the risk of our security and our position abroad.
Many will act with some restraint. Others will be
able to persuade themselves that their political
interest coincides with the national interest.
Already there have been a good many careless
and intemperate remarks about the U-2 affair. They
are blunders, and as such they do nothing to clarify
but indeed only confuse Americans’ understanding
of the events surrounding the incident.
The committee is looking into whatever mis-
takes our government may have made in that con-
nection, and from it we should expect a solid,
factual, unemotional report.
No committee will measure the blunders of
the politicians who unwisely distort the story. We
will have to trust that the American people them-
selves will make that necessary judgment. They will
hold a rather large committee meeting of their
own next November.
The Earth Endures
The agony of Chile would be enough were it
only to involve the salvaging of shattered lives and
properties after last week’s first earthquake. But
the quakes, together with volcanic eruptions, seismic
waves and rain have continued for days, compound-
ing misery upon misery. Geologists say the entire
topography of the country is being altered.
Billions of years after its birth, the world con-
tinues to undergo great changes in its crust, usually
slow and unnoticed by the newcomers called human
beings. But when the changes are sudden, man
becomes aware that he is but a transient, probation-
ary guest upon the restless surface of this globe.
Writing in National Review, Sylvester Petro
says: “The fundamental defects of existing labor
policy . . . can be stated very simply. We are suffer-
ing from too much government of the wrong kind,
and too little of the right kind. In the United States,
government, particularly the federal government,
has given trade unions very special privileges. At
the same time, it has failed to enforce those basic
laws which are designed to prevent individual and
special groups from abusing other persons and
groups. The result of this failure is a threat to the
freedoms and well-being of our society, the threat
the large trade unions nowadays pose.”

Where Dog s
Life Got
Its Start
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (ff) — Remarks
the family dog gets tired of
hearing:
“After lie’s 6 months old, it
isn’t good for a dog to eat more
than once a day.”
“Sit up, Rover and beg.”
“I see by the newspaper that
some old maid left $50,000 to her
cat. Why is it so few people
leave money to dogs?”
“We bought Rover for a watch
dog, but we feel sure now that
if burglars broke into the house
the only thing he’d do is lead'
them to the silverware.”
“As soon as you let him out,
he decides he wants to get back
in. Let him scratch at the door
for a while.”
“Lassie doesn’t have a thing
on Rover—except size, looks,
brains and a bank account.”
“I wouldn’t say he was exact-
ly afraid of the cat next door.
But when she comes into our
yard, he’s the one that tries to
climb a tree.”
“Even if your little boy does
puli his tail, Rover won’t bite.
He simply adores children.”
“The man at the store said
this new canned dog food was
much more nutritious than fresh
meat, so I bought two cases.”
“Let’s get one thing clear, Ro-
ver — the day you start paying
the rent is the day you can start
sleeping on the sofa.”
“We’ll have to leave him at the
vet’s during our vacation. He
may miss us, but after all there
will be a lot of other dogs there
to keep him company.”
“It’s got so he’s just like one
of the family. The one I have in
mind is my mother-in-law.”
“Well, most dogs don’t really
like to be patted on the head’, but
Rover doesn’t mind. He’s too
lazy to mind anything.
“What do I mean by lazy?
Well, if I give him a bone, he
trots out into the back yard and
just stands there — waiting for
me to dig a hole so he can bury
it.”
“A guy in the next block is
buying his pooch an air-condition-
ed doghouse. I don’t believe in
spoiling dogs.”
“What a life! He spends five
minutes a day eating — and 23
hours and 55 minutes sleeping.”
“Sometimes his expression is
almost human. If Rover could
really talk, I wonder what he
would say to us.”

CLOSE COMBAT courses
will provide realistic training,
complete with live ammunition,
for Taylor National Guardsman
when they go to Fort Hood' July
17-31 for two weeks of summer
training.
These courses are part of a
nationwide system of combat
courses designed* as a step in
uniformly improving of pro-
ficiency in the small unit.
At Fort Hood there are two
rifle squad close combat live
firing courses in which the
squad, under control of the
squad leader, engages pop-up
targets, barbed wire obstacles
and a fortified position. Three
is also a tank-infantry combat
course.
Fort Hood is also planning
construction of two rifle pla-
toon close combat courses to
be completed' in time for sum-
mer training.
Sponsored by Gen. Bruce C.
Clar, Commanding General,
U.S. Continental Army Com-
mand, the courses are laid out
for rifle squads, rifle platoons,
tank-infantry teams, scout pla-
toons and reconnaissance pla-
toons.
The courses enable command-
ers to standardize training ob-
jectivs for their squads, crews
and platoons. They also afford
an opportunity to demonstrate
to the small unit and' its leader
the correct technique to be ap-
plied in a given tactical situ-
ation.
Thy are based on the gen-
eral’s belief that “men do in
combat exactly what they have
been in the habit of doing in
training. The right habits must
be deeply ingrained by con-
stant practice so that correct
responses are instinctive under
stress.”
Participating soldiers con-
trolled by range and safety of-
ficers, use live ammunition in
advancing on their objectives.
Realism is the key to the
training received on the cours-
es. Troops learn what to ex-
pect in battle.
During the live-fire tactical
exercises emphasis is placed
on troop-leading procedures
protective measures employed
against the effects of friendly
atomic support, fire discipline,
use of supporting weapons,
communications and the use of
terrain.
That’s the poop from Fort
Hood.
Why Grow Old?
Try Exercise For Fat Deposits
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN
(The Question Box)
Q. “I have a problem. I am 24
years old and weigh 130 pounds.
My measurements are bust 33 in-
ches, waist 2514 and hips 38. If
I lose weight, I lose in the bust.
My husband always is teasing
me about being so big and I
feel so big. I must do some-
thing, please tell me what.”
A. You did' not give me your
height but it does not sound as
though you are terribly over-
weight. I judge that it is mostly
your measuremens which dis-
please you. When you diet take
bust developing and hip-shmming
exercises.
Q. “Please answer this as soon
as possible in your column. How
can I get rid of the bulge be-
twen my bust and waist? I
haven’t been bothered with this
until recently. I am doing exer-
cises for the hips and waist but
I never have seen any for this
spot.”
A. Many women are harassed
by deposits of fat on the dia-
phragm. Do the following exer-
cises. Stand tall with your feet
comfortably separated and your
arms at your sides. Keep the
knees stiff as you bend your
trunk forward. Touch your fin-
gers to the left toe if you can.
Raise the trunk and pull back
toward the right, arms moving
to overhead position. Stretch.
Again bend' the trunk and try to
touch the fingertips to the right
toe. Raise the trunk and pull
back to the left. Stretch. Con-
tinue alternating left and right.
Q. “Are hormone creams harm-
ful”?
A. When they first appeared on
the market some years ago many
physicians were afraid that they
might be dangerous. However, to-
day, after many years there has
been no evidence that they are
dangerous. The doctors with
whom I have talked do not dis-
approve of them, the exception
being that a woman who has had
cancer should' not use them.
Q. “I am a boy 48 inches tall
and I weigh 74 pounds. Will you
please tell me what foods I
should eat to gain weight and
what exercises I should do to
grow taller. I am 13 years of
age.”
A. About the best way to in-
crease your height is to improve
your posture. The habit of hold-
ing the spine straight and the
head erect can give you an in-
crease of a couple of inches.
You just need a well-balanced
diet to begin with. Then add
more desserts. Have cream sau-
ces on your vegetables and drink
a quart of milk daily, (take
some in-between meals) with a
little cream added. Vitamin B
complex seems to help some in
growing and gaining.
If you would like to have my
leaflet “General Reducing Rou-
tine” send a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope with your re-
quest for leaflet No. 1 to Jose-
phine Lowman in care of this
newspaper.
(Released by The Register and
Tribune Syndicate, 1960)
If you have deposits of fat on the diaphragm, try
this: Keep the knees stiff as you bend your trunk
forward. Touch your fingers to the left toe if you
can. Raise the trunk and pull back toward the right,
arms moving to overhead positon. Stretch. Now
try to touch the other toe.
Think it’s easy being a Na-
tional Guardsman?
IT HAS BEEN said that:
“One way to cover a bad past
is to build a splendid future
over it.”
“A psychologist claims that
big men make the most acquis-
cent husbands. So do big wo-
men.”
“The roots of all evil seem
to be planted very fimly.”
FROM THE LIONS bulletin:
The angles in heaven were kib-
itzing with the devils down be-
low. “If we ever played a foot-
ball game, we’d murder you,”
they jockeyed. “After all, we
have all the All-Americans up
here.” “So what?” sneered the
devils. “We have all the
coaches.”
P. S.—Coach Bill Ford was
the bulletin editor.

* The Washington Merry-Go-Round *
By DREW PEARSON £
WASHINGTON — Ever since
the Senate rackets committee in
1956 began prying into Murray
Chotiner’s political influence, Vice
President Nixon has sought deli-
cately to disengage himself from
qie man who managed his rise
from a small-town lawyer to the
vice presidency.
But the manicured, pomaded,
tastefully tailored Chotiner isn’t
an easy man to shake. Disre-
garding entreaties that his can-
didacy would embarrass Nixon,
he determined to crash back into
the inner political circles by run-
ning for Congress in California’s
silkstocking Beverly Hills dis-
trict.
Chotiner will submit his case
to the voters next Tuesday in
the Republican primary. His
chief rival for the GOP nomina-
tion: millionaire Alphonzo Bell
Jr., who has been serving coffee
and bell-shaped' cookies to the
electorate.
The unspoken issue, because
the candidates have been too po-
lite to bring it into the open, is
Chotiner’s backstage influence in
Washington. For the Senate com-
mittee found that racketeers, con-
tractors, tax delinquents and
others in trouble with Uncle Sam
had been beating a path across
the country to the door of Choti-
ner’s Beverly Hills law firm.
Post-Nixon Practice
Asked behind closed doors
whether he had handled “com-
parable cases” before Nixon be-
came vice president, Chotiner re-
plied candidly: “I would say as
a general statement, no. I did
represent some criminal cases
before 1953. Some of them were
income tax cases; some were
Selective Service cases. Other
than that I would say not com-
parable.”
Chotiner’s influence apparently
reached inside the rackets com-
mittee itself. Before public hear-
ings could' be held, the commit-
tee mysteriously dropped the in-
vestigation. Word leaked out that
a counterinvestigation had been
threatened against Chairman
John McClellan’s own law firm
in Little Rock, Ark., where he
then shared offices with his late
son, James McClellan, son-in-law
Harry McDermott, and C. Hamil-
ton Moses, long the “power” in
Arkansas Power and Light.
However, this column has taken
up the .Chotiner investigation
where the rackets committee left
off. Here are the findings in a
few typical cases:
1. Borman Engineering won an
Air Force contract to manufac-
ture machine gun parts for $132,-
667. When the company later
tried to raise the price another
$79,563, the Air Force refused to
renegotiate. The company hired
Chotiner, whose friends in Cong-
ress suddenly began bombarding
the Pentagon with letters and
phone calls. Congressman Glen-
ard Lipscomb of California de-
manded a review of the case;
Congressman Ed Hiestand of Cal-
ifornia expressed his hope that
“something might be done” for
Borman.
“At the request of claiman
and others,” reports a confiden-
tial Air Force memo, “the mat-
ter ' was reviewed by the secre-
tary’s office and was referrd' to
the Contract Adjustment Board
for consideration.” Thereupon,
Congressman Holt of California
telphoned Max Golden, board
chairman, to arrange a private
appointment for Chotiner. Final
outcome: the Air Force agreed
to pay Borman $48,803 above the
contract price.
2. The Post Office charged
Hollywood Models, Inc., with
mail fraud for using the mails
to peddle a ladies’ vacuum, cup
to be used as a bust developer.
The company retained Chotiner
who promptly wrote a “Dear
Art” letter to Postmaster Gener-
al Arthur Summerfield, saying
he thought the Republicnas were
going to stop “petty meddling”
in small businesses.
Summerfield Letter
Summerfield fired back a
‘Dear Murray” letter, agreeing
to transfer the case to California
and grant a postponement. Such
a delay was forbidden by postal
regulations 'except for “substan-
tial cause.” Yet with Summer-
field’s letter as the only support-
ing document, the hearing exam-
iner granted unprecedented ^de-
lays while the company contin-
ued with its mail promotion.
In the end, the Food and Drug
Administration brought proceed-
ings against the company and
finally forced it out of the bust-
developing business. This satis-
fied the Post Office.
3. For five years, the Housing
and Home Finance Agency kept
the Lloyd Construction Co. on its
“precautionary list” for question-
able contracting activities., Then
at a cocktail party Chotiner ask-
ed the agency’s general counsel,
Oakly Hunter, to end the listing.
He promptly concluded that
“justice had been done” and re^*^
moved Lloyd Construction fronl^B
the list.
Chotiner insisted to this col-
umn that all his efforts for his
clients have been strictly legal.”
“I contacted anyone I thought
was a proper person to contact,”
he said.
“Maybe,” Chotiner added
brightly, “a blast in the Pearson
column will help elect me.”
Note — This column learned
that Nixon talked to at least
two of Chotiner’s clients about
their troubles. There is no evi-
dence, however, that he ever in-
tervened in their behalf.
Chairman Butler Goofs Again
If Paul Butler, the lameduck
chairman of the Democratic Na-
tional Committee, wanted to cur-
ry favor with the South by nam-
ing Gov. LeRoy Collins of Flori-
da as the permanent chairman
of the Democratic National Con-
vention, he failed badly.
Collins, delightful and charm-
ing as he is, does not rate as
compared with Congressman Hale
Boggs of Louisiana.
In fact, many southerners are
describing the action of Butler
in putting across Collins as the
appointment of a lame duck by
the lameduck chairman of a
lameduck committee.
Here is the line-up of the lame
ducks:
Collins himself is soon retiring
as governor of Florida and failed
to elect his choice as his succes-
Chairman Butler has just be'elMr
made a lame duck by the Demo-
crats of Indiana who have elec-
ted Alex Campbell, former as-
sistant attorney general, to be
national committeeman from In-
diana.
Peggy Ehrmann, the Democra-
tic committeewoman from Flori-
da who nominated Collins, was
defeated for re-election to the
Democratic National Committee
the same day.
Camille Gravel Jr., Democratic
national committeeman from Lou-
tt isiana, who failed to back Boggs,
was defeated a few days later by
the Louisiana State Democratic
Committee at Baton Rouge by a
vote of 100 to 1. The only vote
cast for his re-election was that
of Gravel himself.
The irony of the situation lies
in the fact that in 1954 when
Butler was first made chairman
of the Democratic National Com-
mittee in New Orleans, he was
nominated by Congressman Boggs.
Two years later, Adlai Stevenson
was determined to kick Butler
out as chairman. He came to
Boggs with fire in his eyes and
some unprintable things in his
language regarding Butler. Boggs
at that time stepped in and
saved Butler. He got Speaker
Sam Rayburn to help him.
