In Washington
MUGWUMPS RIDE AGAIN
PARTY FENCE JUMPING 19 AN
OLD CONGRESSIONAL CUSTOM
(Pint of Two Articles)
Washington.—The problem of how to discipline
political party bolters—mugwumps—• is almost as
old as political parties themselves.
When Democratic Secretary of Commerce
Henry A. Wallace, at the Washington Jackson Day
dinner, urged “Democrats who have been harmful
to our cause" to return to the fold and “honor our
aide of the fence with their mugs as well as their
wumps," he waa borrowing a pun originated ten
yaarp ago by a Republican.
It waa just short of ten years ago by a month
that Kep. Albert J. Engel, independent Michigan
Republican, brought down the House of Represen-
tatives, by referring to an opponent aa “one of
those boyB who always has his mug on one side of
the political fence and hia wump on the other."
Congressman Engel’s use of the word went a
little beyond the classical definition. As he ex-
plans today, he waa applying it particularly to
those politicians who, regardless of their convic-
tions, change to whatever side of the political par-
ty fence suits thejr financial'or patronage inter-
ests. •
•Secretary Wallace was clearly using it in ref-
erence to those Democrats who consistently block
the administration’s legislative program by team-
ing up with the not-much-in-minority Republicans.
He didn’t say so but h|s reference applies mostly to
the conservative Southern Democrats, many of
whom were conspicuous by their absence from the
overflowing flOO-a-plate fund-raising Jackson Day
banquet.
Yet it was to Republican party bolters that the
word “mugwumps" waa first applied, so far as any
written record goes. The word has had a strange
mutation. It comes from the Algonquin Indian
language and never was used there to signify any-
thing but a chieftain.
However, In 1884, the New York Sun came out
with a blistering editorial branding those Repub'
licans who refused to back James G. Blaine for
the presidency a* “political mugwumps.”
A few days later, the New York Post was re-
porting that the Republican Independents were be-
ing referred to all over the country aa "Pharisees,
hypocrites, dudes and mugwumps."
A few moments after Secretary Wallace made
his pun, he hastened to add that he himself had
beon a mugwump (he was by family tradition and
early leanings a Republican) until he had knock-
ed at the door of liberal opportunities offered by
the Democratic party.
(Tomorrow: A Cure for Mugwumps?)

As to the future of Los Alamos, Dr Bradbury sees a continual
turnover of top personnel, the laboratory and the universities ex-
changing scientists all the time.
The idea that everything is still under wartime security regulations
is an exaggeration, Dr. Bradbury says. Material is being declassified
all the time, and reports on nuclear physics research are being gradu-
ally released through scientific journals.
TN the light of this report, it appears that the atomic research bottle-
neck over the past half year has been not so much military control
as congressional inaction. By monkeying around for seven months,
unable to make up its mind on the most fundamental principles ot
government organization, Cofigress has set back atomic energy de-
velopment just as far as has the War Department, with its silly
hush-hush rules.
