Congress Loves Open Season On Junketing
Washington, Oct. 26.,(U.P.)-The congressional jinket season is getting into full swing. And that's sweet music to the ears of congress-men and senators who like to spend the off-season touring far away places.
Junketing—which means making a trip at the government's or someone else's expense—is a time-honored custom in congress. But since the war it has grown to such proportions that sometimes it appears it would be easier to get a quorum together in Paris or London than in Washington.
The junketing season of 1949 got off to a modest start toward the end of the summer when business slowed down on Capitol Hill. It has picked up momentum since adjournment and will reach a climax in the weeks between now and the start of the new session in January.
For example, the housing subcommittee of the senate banking committee has been making a rather extensive tour of western European nations, including Sweden and Denmark. A house banking subcommittee is planning a similar inspection of housing conditions in approximately the same area.
At the moment, some 20 senate and house committees have "inspection" or "investigation" trips planned or under way. Others may be scheduled later. Some have already completed their trips abroad and now are getting together reports on their findings.
In some instances, a committee of the house and a parallel committee of the senate have scheduled simultaneous junkets to the same place.
The house merchant marine committee is sending subcommittees to Alaska and Panama. The Alaska group, headed by Rep. Victor Wickersham, (D., Okla.), is looking into the fishing situation, while the Panama subcommittee will make what amounts to an annual inspection of the Panama canal area.

Russia's Action Seen As Break In Relations
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Oct. 26 —(U.P.)—Observers believed today that Russia's action in expelling Yugoslav Ambassador Karlo Mrazovic from Mscow was a step toward an eventual break in diplomatic relations.
Marshal Tito in recent interviews was indicated he thought diplomatic relations would eventually be broken but that there were a number of steps leading up to the break which still must be carried out.
Mrazovie's expulsion, on charges that he spied against the Soviet Union, was considered one of the steps necessary before Russia and Yugoslavia severed diplomatic relations.
Russia charged in a note delivered to the Yugoslav embassy in Moscow Tuesday that Mrazovic's guilt as a spy was established during the recent trial of former Hungarian Foreign Minister Laszlo Rajk in Budapest.
Mrazovic, however, returned to Belgrade from Moscow in September shortly before Russia denounced its 20-year friendship pact with Yugoslavia. A veteran of the Spanish Civil war, he was appointed to Moscow on Dec. 16, 1948.
