From What Did George Allen Resign?

George E. Allen, who is famed as the White House "jester" but is a good deal more than that, has resigned as a

director of the. Reconstruction Finance Corporation. But the

announcement of his resignation stimulates rather than al

lays curiosity. Has he quit any thing else?

Allen, whom even critics describe as ' likable, has gone

far in politics and business since he went to Washington as

a protege of the late Senator Pat Harrison. His political con

nections have included those of treasurer of the Democratic national committee and commissioner of the District of Co

lumbia as well as adviser to President Truman. His salary as RFC director is $10,000 a year.

Although he studied law, his profession upon entering bT'MTT,,Z-J,

He continued in that route vocation in the national capital before President Roosevelt . jjr' and Mrs Paul Markee and gave him the appointment as a. district commissioner.

These jqbs, which left him plenty of time for White House assignments, figured in one of his greatest triumphs. The Senate was beginning to look critically at some of President Truman's appointments.

"We'll get him back," the sheriff said. ET1ENNE and Ceclie had been on their new place in Lawrence, Kansas, ony a few weeks when they rec?;ved a letter from a Boston friend saying Hhat the escaped Inch had been seen there. Etienne showed the letter to the sheriff, who drawled, "Rest easy, Mister Fox; we'll get him back." ' ., . . Inch was walking rapidly along the snow-covered sidewalk of State Street in Boston. He had risen rapidly in abolitionist ranks offered as living proof that a slave could attain high knowledge if given an opportunity. A long, lean deputy was following him with deadly deliberation and now the pursuer stretched out his hand and touched Inch on the shoulder. ' , "Yore name is Inch?", he said; It was much more of a statement than a question.

"Yore name is Inch?" he sdid.

The crowd grabbed a heavy joist as a battering ram

"Yes," fnch said, "what do you want?" "You're under arrest.. You betlcr come along quiet." Inch was conftned in the courthouse under very heavy guard. He wondered at the n"mbers and the heavy armament of his keepers. What he did not know was that already Faneuil Hall was packed to the rafters with an excited, seething crowd of-ariti-slavery men and women who were protesting his return to; slavery., ' ' - Secretly, the leaders were planning a riot during which . Inch would be rescued and spirited away to Canada. ' Through a mishap, the attack' on the courthouse went awry. Police alresdy had-locked the door. The crowd grabbed a heavy joist as a batlerina ram and sriiashPd the stout wood but the police were ready with clubs and drove them off . . . - .;"''

inch's trial a few days later was a foregone conclusion. The judge said, "I have no alternative but to return this man to his rightful owners . . ." Inch looked about him in awe the following day when he was led out to begin the trip to Kansas. Soldiers with fixed bayonets lined the streets and cannon loaded with grape were trained on the crowd. Inch saw shop after shop closed and draped in black. Even the flags were at half staff. From a post, a coffin swung ' in the air bearing the inscription, "The Funeral of Liberty!" On the sidewalks, the women wept and the men hissed, arid booed the soldiers. Slowly, Inch straightened. By the time he reached Long Wharf where the cutter was waiting, he was walking fully erect, his back stiff and proud .
