But the "best news" that comes from Moscow is "taken with a grain of salt." Our own officials in Berlin and other parts of the disputed areas indicate that the authenticity of Russian promises is to be discounted. The United States has gone forward with honest purposes to bring about peace throughout the world, and we have backed our efforts with so much American money that it makes one's head ache to contemplate such lavish use of our wealth. From the day that representatives of many governments throughout the world established the United Nations the Russians have been carrying on like a lot of hypocrites trying to seize territory from other nations. The only encouraging thing in the whole story is that the heads of the American government really believe that they have overpowered Russia in all its criminal ef- Pennsylvania, has appealed to Congress to slash President Truman's spending proposals which are so enormous that this country can face bankruptcy. A Split at the Top Harry Truman is the leading executive in the government of the United States. Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia is close to the "top" in the Democratic membership of the Senate. Imagine President Truman breaking loose at a press conference with the billious remark that "there are too many Byrds in Congress." Of course every one knows that there is only one Senator named Byrd and that is the name of the leading orchardist in Virginia, the ex-Governor of the state and a 100 per cent citizen. One might well imagine that there are too many Harrys in the government — Harry is in the White House, and other Harrys are in government offices. Harry Byrd answered Harry Truman when he said: "If the president means he will attempt to purge me from the From the day that representatives of many governments throughout the world established the United Nations the Russians have been carrying on like a lot of hypocrites trying to seize territory from other nations. The only encouraging thing in the whole story is that the heads of the American government really believe that they have overpowered Russia in all its criminal efforts to break up the United Nations and break down other countries. In short, all we can do is to watch and wait and hope—confident in the knowledge that if Russia starts a war that the government will be overpowered and defeated in short order. We have THE weapon. Congress Hears from Senator Douglas "To be a liberal one does not have to be a wastrel," declared the Democratic Senator from Illinois, who says that the Democrats are headed in the wrong direction. There has been a drop of $2,-900,000,000 in consumer income in the first few months of 1949 and conditions have changed "for the worse," declared the Senator. Under present conditions, with business declining it would be extremely unwise to increase taxes further. Our first job is to fry the extra-fat out of our departments and agencies," declared the Senator. He said a mouthful when he proposed that the government replace only half of its job vacancies and drop the "drones." Senator Martin, Republican of Of course every one knows that there is only one Senator named Byrd and that is the name of the leading orchardist in Virginia, the ex-Governor of the state and a 100 per cent citizen. One might well imagine that there are too many Harrys in the government — Harry is in the White House, and other Harrys are in government offices. Harry Byrd answered Harry Truman when he said: "If the president means he will attempt to purge me from the Senate because I will not accept his dictatorship in legislation, then I will be on hand when the purging starts . . . I owe my allegiance to my constituency in Virginia. So long as I remain in the Senate I will vote as my conscience dictates, and to reflect the wishes of my constituents." The particular Harry who issued that defiance is regarded as "a better man than you are President Harry.—Gunga Din." This isn't a very serious matter. If all began with Senator Byrd's activity in defeating the President's nomination of Mon C. Wallgren, to be chairman of the National Security Resources Board. That's when the two Harry's split the Democratic ranks in their eight places of the government.

Gazette Want Ads Bring Results BY the time you read this letter on the 22nd district papers, the congress will have finished a farm discussion of, and probably started on, one of the most important bills in its history. I have no questions regarding this Congress, and so I think the bill will pass. It will be referred to as a housing bill, and more often as a sum clearance bill," and so the citizens generally, dulled by years propaganda, will not look back at the title. Suppose we explore the actual provisions of the bill. Let it be understood that your congressman is completely and honestly in favor of slum clearance, and of having enough houses for people to live in. He has however looked at the records of government, on these issues, and has seen, as you could see, that slum clearance has been most successful when handled at the local level, and that many slums would appear when local governments force already existing laws and regulations regarding fire hazards, sanitary requirements, build codes, and the like. Many bills before us to help local governments do this job, which they do better than the federal government can. You could also see that we have had, for some years, succession of "Housing Expeditions" who as yet have expended without further action by the Congress. Actually, nobody to whom I have talked, thinks $19 billions would be anything near the total amount spent. This first bite contemplates the building of 1,050,000 housing units, in a 7 years period, using $19 billions to start, and "repayable" in 40 years. It provides advances to communities or local agencies; free gifts of money to farmers in the south; the authority to lower or delay or cancel farm-housing payments; duplication in existing and projected research; a shift of our farm-workers housing program; the by-passing of the Appropriations Committee in its refusal for three years to approve one extravagant program, and the acceptance of a theory we adopted with great reluctance in the Bretton Woods Agreement, and only then because there seemed no other choice. That was the authorization for the Treasury Department to spend the billions involved without reference to a congressional committee, and without any congressional check on the spending of the money or the administration of the program. This ends representative government, if we accept that theory. Since this letter is to give you details, must continue into next week, suppose you keep in mind this simple calculation: if the government were to give every family, which will benefit by this bill, the cash sum of $10,000 instead of passing this bill, the taxpayers would save over 9 billion of dollars. I rise to remark that is what government "aid" and regulation (and interference, if you want) costs the folks back home. The Internal Revenue Collector reports that the costs of government today are no longer being paid by people generally referred to as "the rich;" these costs are now being paid largely by families whose incomes are under $5,000 a year. 921-929 North Lemon street. The planning commission had passed on a do-pass recommendation to the council. Fire Chief Nyboe will be driving a new Chevrolet coupe as soon as Cone Brothers can make delivery.
