The cave brooder is the dead man. He is Mao Tse-tung, 55, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party Executive Committee, and he's practically unapproachable except to the two Russian doctors who follow him around fo ward off head colds and gout. Mao is tall, dark and handsome and a charmer when he wants to be. He used to like American movies before the Reds decided Betty Grable was a capitalistic mind-poisoner. » The party kicked him out im 1027 because he wanted to organize the peasants instead of the factory workers. But when it: couldn't get anywhere with the millhands they let him come back in the fold. In 1934 he led the famous’ 6000:-inile Communist march from Kiangsi which ended in Yenan in 1945. He still looks tired. , Gen.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 — Our hard-working ‘Co en (and that's not as dirty a crack as you might think) have accomplished in their first month of labor exactly two things: ONE: They gave President Truman a raise. TWO: They insisted on collecting taxes on gickets sold at his Inaugural parade. That's all they've done as far #5 the book is concerned and yet most of them actually and literally have been working themselves to a trazzle. The question is, how come? Or whatever happened to our streamlined Congress so widely héralded two years ago? "You may remember when the gentlemen voted themselves a hoist in pay. Gave themselves executive assistants to handle the paper work, and slashed the number of their committees, so they'd have more time to think. It was an elegant idea, but somehow it didn't seem to work. They got the extra money and the extra helpers, but when they cut down on the committees, each one of these operated like those amoebae, whith chop themselves in pleces and grow new ones under the microscopes of high school zoology students,

Committees and Committees

SO ALL the committees now have sub-com-mittees and some of the sub-committees have subcommittees. Senators are rushing breathless from one committee to another, to testify here, listen there, and introduce a bigwig constituent another place. : Some of the sub-committees are official; some aré unofficial.
