'Washington
Evan before ha officially be-
came secretary of national defame
Louis Johnson started cracking
brass-hat heads together.
While Jim Forres tal still sat in
the defense post and Johnson was
waiting to take the oath of office
newspapers published a sensation-
al piece of Information to the ef-
fect that the UJ5. air form had
drawn up a list of 70 bombing
targets inside Russia. In case at
war. It was said the air force
already had 70 important Russian
targets singled out for destruc-
tion. - 1
Immediately Johnson called
Secretary of Air Stuart Syming-
ton an the carpet: demanded to
know how this unfortunate piece
of Information got out. .
At that time of course; John-
son hsd no official right to lec-
ture Symington nor ask him for
an explanation. Symington how-
ever. did not resent She inquiry.
He replied that he too; greatly
regretted the leak had already
asked his chief investigator for-
mer G-man Gen. Joe Carroll to
find out who was responsible
CHURCHILL'S BRANDY
- When Winston Churchill visited
Washington during the war some-
one always saw to it that he was
not without his famous brandy
vintage of 1949.
Since the war however a labor
government has taken over the
British embassy and is much less
concerned about the niceties of
drink and food; while the present
occupant of the White House is a
connoisseur not of brandy but of
bourbon.
On his latest trip therefore
Churchill found himself without
his favorite brand of Napoleonic
brandy. Tor a time things looked
serious. A search of the British
embassy wine cellar revealed that
not a drop of the Churchill brand
eras on hand.
Finally the search extended to
members of the British emf
and their individual cellars
Aubrey Morgan a British diplo-
matic secretary came up with one
bottle of 1811 brandy which he
cheerfully donated to Britain's
Anted war leader. Churchill drank
it after he returned from Presi-
. dent Truman's dinner. -
Note Churchill had the Duke
of Windsor to thank for the
brandy. The Duke had left it be-
hind following his last visit to
Washington.
POWER LOBBY NEARLY WINS
An interesting private party
was thrown by Congressman Har-
ry Sheppard of California the
other day following which he and
the private poorer lobby
within three votes of sKort-drcult-.
ing the administrations public-
' power program. '
The legislation that Sheppard
and the lobby tried so hard to de-
feat provides for transmission lines
as an outlet for public power in
west Without these arteries the
heart of toe Roaeevdt-Ickes pow-
er program would be killed. Tru-
man had made continuation of this
urog.'am his No. 1 campaign prom-
ise to the west last summer; and
had blasted the Republicans and
other friends of Pacific Gas and
Electric who tried to ban govern-
ment transmission lines to die-
tribute power.
Yet the man who led the fight
against transmission lines was
western Democrat Sheppard of
San Bernardino; Calif. What is
oven more strange; this
Sheppard also threw a lsvish party
for influential congressman from
each stato-the week before the
was scheduled to

commitiMu
The deans of all the ccngres-
slonal delegation were Invited to
l'o party at the Congres-
where he
buffet luncheon id ham and roast
beef with plenty of liquor to
wash ft down.
Sheppard admitted this was the
first time in his 13 years on Capi-
tol Hill that ha had ever spon-
sored such a gala affair but he
sharply denied that it was fin-
anced by the power lobby.
"I always pay my own bills'
he protested. Why I don't even
have a charge account."
He explained that as chairman
of tho California delegation he
simply wanted to entertain the
heads of congressional delegations
from other states.
"The power companies" he
snapped had nothing to do with
that parly."
Sheppards integrity has never
been challenged by those
know him. Yet no matter who
paid tor the party or what pur-
pose may have hem intended it
had the effect on many congress-
men of high-pressuring. All those
attending tho luncheon contacted
by this column felt that the party
had soma connection with the
power question.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

did his best to knife the trans-

The squabble over China was

California. He wanted to authorize
the president to use an estimated

China aid funds to help areas of
China so- far not overrun by the
Communists.

China Dispute
Solons Absence
Halt ECA Vote
Washington April 2 (AP) A dispute over aiding
China coupled with i shortage of senators on a spring Satur-
day afternoon forced the senate to postpone its final decision
on the European aid bill until next week.
Earlier the senators were told that Great Britain shipped
some jet airplane engines to Russia after the war but
stopped deliveries late in 1947. That information from Sec-
retary of Defence Johnson was read to the senate aa it
debated the $5580000000 authorization bill with only a few
members on hand. -
Second Debates
On Gas Judges
Hike Scheduled
Chairman Connelly (D) Texas
of the foreign relations committee
Iso questioned Knowland pro-
posal. When Knowland said that
this countrys tactics in China are
giving tha Communists a chance
to put China millions behind the
iron curtain Connally shouted:
"Every time you hear a bush
rattle there a Communist behind
it!"
Knowland replied with heat
that he was representing Califor-
nia which is vitally interested in
what happens in China.
The ebjrctfau by Thames and
Connolly Mocked aettau au tho
proposal before Monday when
tha. senate resumes the debate
after a weekend teems. A stark
of two desen amendments await
ed action.
On the showdown it appeared
highly likely that the administra-
tion will pc' tho entire 15580000-
000 authorization it asked. Two
attempts to slash it were beaten
last night.
