THE ADMINISTRATION UNDER ATTACK The Letters to the Editor columns of the American tewspaper are the nearest thing we have to a public forum where ideas can be expressed on almost any subject conceivable. laying the national administration is a popular past-time past-time for writers of letters to the editor. Typical is this it of charges a newspaper reader listed against the ministration: Tearful lowering of the standards of morality. . "Destruction of the national honor. "Overturning of the Constitution. "Causing the loss of tens of thousands of valuable Eves. "Making the laborer work half a year to pay interest on the debt with which the administration has saddled the nation. "Puttin.gr the price of the necessities of life all but beyond the reach of the worker. "Upsetting the life of the individual with the military f draft. "Incompetency. "Stubborn determination to follow a suicidal policy." Such a graphic indictment of the national administra tion! . ' But wait . . . The letter containing those charges (as not written his week: it was written in 1864. The ational administration under fire was not that of President Pres-ident Truman.

When I think that American taxpayers have contributed con-tributed over 400 million dollars in Marshall Aid to foreign countries for the purchase of tobacco, I cannot see the logic in a policy which cuts off development of the West's water i resources.

L Mrs. Davis that no new reclamation con struction programs will be initi ated. Our worldwide free spending spend-ing program has further forced drastic cuts in reclamation pro grams under way. Deer Creek For instance, the House of Representatives reduced the appropriation ap-propriation for Utah's Deer Creek by $657,000. And no new construction funds were approv ed for the Weber Basin project. I was successful in the Sen ate in having the appropriations committee reinstate the uu a-mount a-mount of $2,748,000 for Deer Creek, which is the amount ap proved by the Bureau of the Budget. I think the Senate will approve this item and will have done so by the time this column reaches readers- I hope my efforts ef-forts will be successful. The House eliminated all funds for this project. And if I am successful success-ful in the Senate it will be necessary nec-essary to get the House to agree, also: The Deer Creek and Weber Basin Ba-sin projects will in no way impair im-pair the nation's defense efforts. In the long run, they will contribute con-tribute greatly to the economic strength oil the West and the nation. Inconsistencies Producers generally oppose price and wage controls on the grounds that they will stifle production pro-duction and result in scarcities. The administration generally takes the opposing view. Now come two officials of the ( Office of Price Administration i and the General Services Administration Ad-ministration who are pleading for price increase for manga-j nese. Their reasons for such re-i lief are, of all things, that it I would provide the incentive nec- j essary to obtain more manga--nese production. Worse than Worst J When is worst worse thanj worse? That is a delightful po- litical question. But here is( what the non-partisan Congres sional Quarterly has to say about it: President Truman's self-labeled "Second worst 80th GOP Congress" completed action' on 12 out of 47 administration proposals pro-posals during the first six month of its existence, while its successors, suc-cessors, the Democratic 81st OK'd 15 out of 59, and the 82nd completed action on 9 out of ;7 proposals. That 80th-second-worst Congress, on the other hand, ignored only six proposals while the Democratic 81st ignored ig-nored 13 and the Democratic 82nd ignored 16. The 80th rejected rejec-ted only one proposal, while the 81st rejected one and the 82nd rejected five. ' Mr. and Mrs. P. K.

SALMON Salmon Pharmacy Orem, Utah This 'N That Ethyl N'alMB Hail HAVE FUN AND BE GOOD Hi, Folks. I guess you listen to Merry Larry's Western recordings and to the mythical Zeke who is much the goat when Larry doesn't does-n't like being complimented. I honestly think this KNEU radio program is the most popular one here in Utah Valley. ..Tho' I have tried to analyze the reasons I get just so far then stop for I know Merry Larry. Without With-out question he is one of the nicest persons I have ever metl . . I can understand why he is liked so very much aside from his instructions to his listeners. "Have fun and be good," in the believe he is the only person of my acquaintance who can follow his own advice to a capital T'. My doctor, who is more psy chiatrist than M.D., always saysl to me, 'BE HAPPY , then chas to me, "Be happy," then charges char-ges me an outrageous fee. I took his advice long ago and have saved myself much expense and time. But our friend Larry has it all over the psychiatrists; he practices what he preaches and consequentely is the most popular popu-lar man I know. The girls love him and the old ladies mother him; the menfolks think he Is regular and tops. But what a philosophy oh, brother it is an art to have fun and be GOOD. It is what one feels that counts what one thinks. If a person feels happiness happi-ness and thinks happiness, he just naturally radiates happiness. happi-ness. Let me suggest that if you are not a regular listener of Merry Larry's Radio Rodeo, (and Western Wes-tern Roundup in the evenings), you might give it a try. You might try following his advice "Have fun and be good," n the event you haven't yet mastered the art- Just drop him a card and ask for instructions.

WINSTON CHURCHILL on the Atomic Bomb. ". . . but we can't hope to maintain this (American) way of life by adopting Russianized methods for protecting protect-ing it. It is alarming that under their cloak of senatorial immunity, a group of American politicians have sought to incite the American public to disregard the noble features fea-tures of the Declaration of Independence. If we begin to burn books, prosecute scientists, and label people who disagree with us we will soon have ourselves so split up and disunited or so secure no one will possess the courage to do anything." ARTHUR GAETII in July Fourth address. "If those who threaten us take only a tyrant's lesson from differences among free men and mistake the temper of our people, they can plunge the world into war . , . (but) the issues which might divide our people are far transcended by the things which unite them. If threatened danger becomes war, the aggressor would find at one stroke arrayed against him the united energies, ener-gies, the united resources, and the united devotion of all the American people." RICHARD RUSSELL, chairman chair-man of MacArthur hearing committee. "The U. S. Senate has always had its small quota of lightweights, windbags and crooks ... the crux of the problem is finding specific ways of attracting to public service people with native integrity and a developed sense as to what is right and wrong.

"One of the finest things that could have happened to the brewing industry was the insistence of high ranking rank-ing officers to make beer available at army camps.

Eleven of them were large, uniform uni-form and snow-while. Number 12. was smaller, off-color and dirty. Needless to say number 12 was the last egg left in ihe carton and ultimately went out with the garbage the loss oft eight and one-third percent on the deal- This transaction reminds me of a story told me by my mother many years ago. The incident happened while Johnston's army was encamped at Camp Floyd, now Fairfield in Cedar Valley. A considerable quantity of farm produce was purchased by the army supply officer Urom nearby Mormon communities and paid for with good U. S. gold coin. On this occasion, my mother, a small girl at the time, took an egg to barter for a stick of candy. The old codger who ran the general store took tho egg and shook it vigorously near his ear. j "Rotten egg. rotten egg," he said placing it in the box with the others, "But good enough for the soldiers." "Good enough for the sold iers, became ine common ex- piesixn whenever off-quality produce was fold to the army commissary department. In these times when competition compet-ition is so keen, practices of this knd are short-sighted to say the least. The purchaser always remembers re-members the unuseable egg in Hie carton and forgets the 11 that were perfect.

Joe Marsh Might Say The Birds Got "Nettled" J Had dinner with Tik Bradley the other day, and over a frosty bottle of beer I found out about his job with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "Now just exactly what do you do?" I asked him. "Shoot birds with a cannon" he calmly replies. Seems they actually do use a cannon to shoot out a net over a flock of birds feeding on the ground. The birds start to take off at the sound of the shot, but the settling net brings them back to earth. Then they're banded around the leg- so more can be learned about their migratory habits. Afterwards, they're let loose and everyone's happy. From where I sit, it was a good example of bow when you learn the real facts they're often not as bad as they may sound at first. Like with people. Get to really know your neighbor and chances are you'll he more tolerant of hit preferences even though they're not your own. Take a good look, before you jump to conclusions.
