that tie would be a dangerous man
if he controlled a lot of government
money.
Sen. Claude Pepper. D Fla . one
of what appear; to be a minority
senate group in favor of making
Wallace secretary of commerce in
control of billions of dollars of go\
ernment funds, complained that
Jones’ obvious purpoes was to "dis
credit Wallace." Pepper hopes Wal
lace today will have the same op
portunity to potshot Jones that
Jones had yesterday to hit. at Wal
| lace.
The Wallace-Jones performance
i Is playing to an overflow house in
the senate caucus room, and if there
is any pot;hotting there will be an
ample audience to applaud or to
jeer. Jones got the cheers yester
day with his testimony that his pre
war government lending operations
would make money—"they won’t
cost the taxpayer a dime." fie es
timated the profit at $500,000,000.
The committee technically is
holding hearings on a proposal by
Sen. Walter F. George, D., Ga.. to
separate from the Commerce De
partment the powers of the federal
loan agency. The agency became
! part of the department by White
House order in 1942. For two years
prior to that. Jones held concur
rently tlie two separate posts of
secretary of commerce and loan ad
ministrator
Jones told the committee yester
j day that he did not consider Wal
lace qualified to be both secretary
of commerce and federal loan ad
ministrator. All but the blunt
spoken Texan are making believe
that the hearing relates wholly to
the matter of a separation of gov
ei nment powers and that Wallace’s
nomination to the secretaryship just
happened to come up about the
same time.
President Roosevelt fired Jones
| over tlie week-end to make a place
for Wallace who, lie said, was suit
ed to the job and had earned it by
his 1944 campaign efforts, George
also testified yesterday, affably as
suring questioners that it was just
coincidence that he had proposed
to separate the lending powers from
(lie department immediately after
Wallace was nominated.
me nomination nngni nave oeen
an aggravating circumstance,” he
finally conceded.
Jones was more direct. Without
naming Wallace, he described him
as "a man willing to jeopardize the
country's future with untried ideas
and idealistic schemes.” He said the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and subsidiary lending agencies
were ‘ run by businessmen, men of
proven business experience, who
haven't any ideas about remaking
the world.” He said the powers of
the secretaryship as now constituted
were so great that improperly used
they might “very seriously” affect
the economic direction of the coun
try in its political and social aspects.
The tall Texan said a cabinet post
was a high honor, Indeed, but re
lated that he had once refused the
Navy Department because he want
ed to stick with his lending respon
sibilities. And lie said he refused the
commerce department until • Mr.
Roosevelt agreed — congress con
senting — tiila he could remain as
Federal Loan Administrator, too.
Tlie George proposal as now
drafted and the trend of Jones’
answers to some questions suggested
thai the secretary and some of his
senator friends believe he may be
able to remain in charge of the RFC
and affiliated agencies even though
Wallace becomes secretary of com
merce.
Best informed senate opinion was
that action would be taken lirst on
the separation proposal and that it
would pass both houses — a hard
blow to Mr. Roosevelt and a stun
ning shock to Wallace’s prestige.
Thereafter the senate would con
flrm Wallace. Some senators ques
tioned whether Walacu would want
the commerce department if it. were
shorn of the financial powers which
made it so Influential under Jones.
Pepper obtained little from
Jones by questions except that the
latter considered botli Wallace and
Pepper incompetent to handle the
big lending agency.
Asked by Pepper whether he in
tended to remain In his job, Jones
replied:
”T don't expect to remain in com
merce, if that is what you mean.”
Pepper inquired whether Jones
wus appointed to any definite term
as loan administrator.
'I don't know,” Jones replied
Pepper asked if Jones’ letter to
the President acceding to the re
quest that he quit the Commerce
Department meant that lie would
quit as loan administrator at any
given time. And Jones replied lie
intended to remain until Ills suc
cessor is sworn in
Out of your vast experience,”
Pepper continued, "do you believe
that these two offices call be ad
ministered by one man, assuming
that man's competence?”
"If you are trying to ask me if
Henry Wallace is qualified to han
dle both Jobs, I'll suy no,” Jones re
plied.

BY WALTER CRONKITE
With Fifth Infantry Division,
Somewhere Luxembourg Jan 8 —
(Delayed) — (UP) — A column of
American trucks towing big 155
millimeter guns rumbled through a
tiny pictur.sque Luxembourg town
stirring up little cyclones of dust.
Bouncing along in one of the
trucks was a slight, 20-year-old
Cambridge, Mass., sergeant. William
F. Holland was his name.
That was in 1917. Twenty-seven
years later another column of trucks
towing 155's—trucks a little more
modern, guns a little more powerful
—rolled again into this town. It was
the old Fifth returning to the scenes
of its earlier victories to do the job
all over again.
On a corner in this village there
was one moderately well-dressed civ
ilian who cheered their return loud
er than all the rest- He was William
F. Holland.
"I was one of those Doughboys
who met the village belle, fell in
love, and derided to remain over
after the lust big show, ’ Holland
told me in one >f the comfortable
rooms of his own crowded home. ‘ I d
been waiting here a long time for
the boys to come bark—but I never
thought it would be my outfit that
would liberate me.”
It was liberation for Holland. As
an automobile salesman and later
a taxi operator, he l.ad maintained
throughout years of peace his Amer
leal citizenship.
So when A' erica entered the war
against Germany, Holland was in
terned. Long years of insufficient
food, poor living conditions and
hard work while lie was confined
stirred up an old heart disorder and,
through Red Cross intervention, lie
was released to r, turn to house ar
rest in Luxembourg. From that the
Fifth liberated him.
Now he is doing hi.s part for the
war effort by managing a textile
mill turning out goods for the Ah
lies and by billeting American
troops in his home. He and Mrs.
Holland have moved ir.' a corner
of the modest house.
”1 ran into just a little trouble at
first,” lie said, "because these boys
of the Fifth are really on guard. J
had to explain to a lot of them why
I spoke such good English and ye:
was a civilian. Tilt first sentry who
stopped me I told that f \ as an 'old
soldier' and lie said, ’what outfit?'
and I said, 'Fifth Division,’ I wa
taken all way to the guard house
before I explained that one satisfac
torily.
“Now I’m sort of a Dorothy Dlx
around here. Quite fi of the boys
ar.‘ thinking about marrying some
of tiie girls in the neighborhood
a.id they come to me and ask what
I think about it.
"I tell them, ‘don't do it.' I had a
lot of buddies in the last war who
came back here to Luxembourg and
over to Belgium and France and not
many of them were able to settle
down It is a lot different when you
arc the only American left in a town
and your pals have ah gone home.”
Holland looked at Mrs. Holland.
■‘I made a go of it because I was
pretty lucky. They gotta be lucky.
I tell them "

Laugh A Day
Good Policy
Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 35.—(UP*
—A laugh a day will keep dlvorc#
away.
At least, that's the opinion of
Alexander Magoun, professor of
Human Relations at Massachu
setts Institute of Technology, who
soon will publish a book on marital
problems.
In an interview with the United
Press today, the Ohio-born educa
tor advised married couples to fol
low this simple formula for bridging
the pitfalls of propinquity.
1. Make each other laugh at
least once a day.
2. Never get tired at the sains
time.
"Afater all ." he explained, "hu
mor is the oil that lubricates hu
man relations, and tiredness lead!
to temper.''
The 48-year old goaleed professok
said he didn’t believe any life could
be lived intelligently by rules but
added that certain underlying prin
ciples, if followed, would make for
happiness.
"People can be separated or united
only by their own efforts," he as
sertod. "If you refuse to com
municate. you can't hope to under
stand each other."
However, Prof. Magoun said that
many married couples are "looking
for trouble," when they bluntly
"state their facts” to each other.
Urging tact, the professor de
clared "they would get quite dif
lerent results if they only would fol
low the principle of making ihem
: elves understood." Most import
ant fat tor m gelling facts under
stood. he explained, was first mak
ing the other person want to lis
ten.
Prof, Magoun said that nobody
knows much about emotions because
scientific study of them is in a very
early stage.
"Wo do know, though," he con
tided. "that it is not emotion;
which make the trouble, because
emotions are a consequence: and
not a eau e. The situation which
ruunt. the. emotion should b«
blamed -never the emotion itself
One of the best ways to solv*
tin' problem of mounting divorce
rate, Prof. Magoun said, is tc
'leach youngsters in school the prin
ciples of human behavior.”
•Divorces often are caused 'o>
events that happen early in life'
he explained. "For example, it
Susie Jones felt that her father
never really loved her. then she's
sound to suspect that her husband
iloi sn’t."
Such situations, he said, would not
occur if children were taught at ar
arly age to evaluate human rela
