Show The Anil StHI Gli2ail02Si1 flit By James VV. -- fight Douttiat punches near-knocko- More than usual significance was attached in Washington to President Eisenhower's appeal for sanity In government spending in order to hasten desperately-neede- d tax reform legislation and ward off the ravages of continued inflation. The belief is widespread on Capitol Hill that Mr; Eisenhower is deeply concerned over the big spending philosophy of the New-Fa- ir Dealers and that he sought, in his State of the Union Message, to bring public pressure upon Congress to reject unnecessary . appropriations. Members of the economy bloc in Congress vigorously 6upport this objective. One of the major points of emphasis in Mr. Eisenhower's address was that it will be the fault of Congress if spending is approved in excess of the $77 billion which he is recommending. This constituted a bold challenge to the welkin-ehatteTihowls of protest which the big spenders have been giving forth ever sinve the balanced-budg- et program was announced. Mr. Eisenhower asserted that he Is proposing, "a realistic budng get with wholly attainable objectives." This was in reply to those who contend that spending is bound to be more and revenue less than the new budget esti- t mates, An economy guide was suggested for Congress to follow in acting on appropriations. Taking the positive position that "we cannot afford one cent of waste," Mr. Eisenhower said that "we must examine every item of government expense critically. To do otherwise would betray our nation's future." Then he threw down the gauntlet" to Congress in these words: and the Con"The Congress gress alone has the power of the purse. Ultimately, upon Congress rests responsibility for determining the scope and amount of Federal spending." These words could have repercussions extending into the I960 Presidential and ng Congressional election campaign. Many believe that Government spending and the results that flow from it will be a major issue in that election. Not everyone on Capitol Hill agrees with Mr. Eisenhower as after round after round then losing the decision '! If you did, then you were n. A r:' COMMITTEE r n.: AUTOMOBILES AIID OTHER HEEDS.

' , the insistent questioning end investigation of this committee, many rank and file members of unions have found that they are not getting what they pay for . . . honest representation to improve their welfare. Instead they have been bamboozled year after year by ruthless leaders who coerce their members and small business management equally to get what they want . . .more money and more power! The McClellan Committee was not set up as a police group . . . to catch criminals and put them in jail No, their simple function is to find evidence of wrongdoing and point it out for both the public and the agencies to act upon. In that respect, they have been eminently successful. Dave Beck ; will1 surely testify ,to that. Jimmy Hoffa still hopes to get away with ho further testimony f any kind. And all the Hoffas and Becks will get away with it if the flow of testimony from the McClellan Committee to the Justice Department is quietly but effectively stopped. Undue Influence? Why, you sensibly ask, should Congress even consider letting this great investigating committee cease its worki Why, especially, when Senator McClellan himself has publicly stated that he needs at least the greater part or all of 1959 to finish investigations that have already been started? Is the time and money already invested on the public's behalf to be written off and forgotten? Is there undue influence somewhere along the line? Can wc assume that in unions there is strength, and in Congress there is weakness? The Fight Should Continue The answers to these questions are fairly obvious. Congress has a great moral obligation to all the good and honest people of this country to see that the work of the McClellan Committee be continued just as long as more acts or wrong-doin- g are brought to light, even if it takes years! The time, the effort and the expense that have been invested shold NOT be allowed to go down the drain of indifference. There must be undue pressures upon Congress in general or certain congressmen in par-ticlall of whom owe it to their constituents to resist this pressure and see that honesty prevails. No single group unions or in this country otherwise . . . should be allowed to become stronger 'than Congress itself. Yes, there's been a fight going on, and our Champion, "The McClellan Committee" has proven to the country that it has the stamina to go on for many more rounds and score a knockout against corruption. We'd like to see that fight ' continue. We don't want our "Champion" to hang up his gloves nor quit the ring. We don't want Congress to ever stop such a fight . . . now or in the future. We Americans want action! ... ar CLOW! "A friend of mine, an ardent isolationist, is most vociferous in his opposition to all this space exploration. He has a double-bitte- d argument.

"Funny", that is, for everyone who profited by such a dishonest set-uBut sad, mighty sad indeed, for the real losers in such a fight. Well, there's been just such a fight going on where the real loser is Mr. Honest Citizen. You and me, that is. And that fight has been well carried on for us by a Congressional committee with the very long and relatively unknown title of the "Select Committee on Improper Activities In The Labor Or Management Field." You most likely have heard of it as the "McClel-la- n Committee," the name given to it by the press and public because of its chairman, Senator McClellan, Democrat of Arkansas. (Before you get the idea that this is a partisan piece, may we point out that the "McClellan Committee" is composed of Democratic and Republican Senators.) Ends In January This "McClellan Committee" has been out there slugging for you and me ever since it was established. Scoring very telling blows, too . . . and yet it may lose its fight, in fact its very existence, because of "something funny" going on. In fact, there is a very good chance that our "fighter's "manager . . .Congress . . . may throw in the towel before the fight is even over. Seems to be some undue pressure from somewhere if a thing like that can happen. Yet facts are facts . . . and the facts in this case point out that unless Congress takes quick action, the McClellan Committee will quietly end its existence on January 31st, 1959. And what will be lost? Let's talk-abothat for a moment: During every month of the McClellan Committee's existence so far, its thorough and conscientious investigating staff has probed deeply into the field. And each time they've reported back, they've opened our eyes to some rather astounding goings-oUnion members paying dues in good faith while their chosen leaders are living in swank mansions, diverting union funds to build their own private fortunes. Other union monies have been proved by the McClellan Committee to have been used for purely political purposes.
