Entered at Second Clasi Mailer at the Poit Office at Bingham Canyon, Utah, Under the Act of March 3. 1679. ttz&rzzr NATION A L E OITORIAL JOHN A DAM UK, Editor and Publisher GLADYS L. ADAMEK, Assistant Editor Subscription Kate, per year in advance $2.60 Advertising Rates Furnished on Application Department. This might help you understand why. The House ad-ministration committee found that one State Department hous-ing project in Bremen, Germany, provided 11 maid's rooms for 12 apartments to house 21 State De-partment bachelors. The build-ing itself would cost $305,777 or $25,481 for each apartment. YOUR PRESENT TO MIKE The new Secretary of Interior. Douglas McKay, just discovered that we taxpayers gave Mike Straus, outgoing reclamation com missioner, a farewell gift. For the last six days of the former ad-ministration, he was hired as a consultant at $100 per day. VACATION SCANDAL The trouble with the actions of the outgoing high officers in accept-ing pay for vacations they said they didn't get is that its affect on the legitimate rights of fed-eral employees. Congress wanted to give all eligible federal em-ployees a two week vocation and some sick leave without loss of pay. In cases of emergency, where the time wasn't used, the law permitted the government to pay to make up for lost vacation time. NOT FOR DEAN AND OSCAR But Congress did not intend leave payments to apply to of-ficials, like Acheson and Chap-man. I find opinion about equally divided back here. Some think Dean and Oscar spent all their twne on vacation. Others thuik the country would have been bet-ter off if they had. But in either case, I believe they managed to squeeze in a few days of relaxa-tion in their trips around the world and country at the tax-payer's expense. THE FORMULA In order for the taxpayer to be charged the bill for a two weeks' trip to Florida, the Truman appointee I had to do something" official. If he did something official, he couldn't be on vacation. So, when it comes time to, leave, they col-lected back vacation pay. I don't think it will happen again. BEHIND THE HEADLINES Congressional investigations of Communist influence have been grabbing the headlines. But it is the more "routine" examinations of government operations that are raising eyebrows back here raising eyebrows and wrinkling noses. THE MAYOR'S VACATION An example was the uncovering of the whopping "in lieu of vaca-- 1 tion" payments made to depart-- 1 ing officers of the frmer admin-istration. They totaled more than $700,000 and ranged up to $12,750 in some cases. Even Ex-May- O'Dwycr collected $5,000 of the taxpayers' money to compensate for vacations he said he didn't take. I think most Americana be-lieve O'Dwyer has been on a va-cation ever since Truman ap-pointed him Ambassador to Mex-ico a vacation, that is, from embarrassing questions about his tie-up- s with gamblers and other racketeers as Mayor of New York.

After finishing dinner one evening he settled down In an easy chair with the newspaper. He was tired and tills was going to be one evening that he was just-goin-to relax. He had hardly settled in the chair, when his three year-ol-daughter came to him with a book and asked him to read her a story. Almost at the very same time his sixteen months old gon tugged at his arm, wanting his daddy to play with him. Without thinking, he said, "You children go away and play with your toys; I'm tired and this is the first chance J have had this week to sit down and read my paper." About this time his wife called from the kitch-en, "Don't bother Daddy; get awuy and let him read his paper." Suddenly he caught the disappointment in the ex- - pression of his little girl. And ho us suddenly realized CAHNEGIK that In a few short years these children would neither need nor want him to share Uieir pleasures. He folded up the paper, took the book his little girl was holding and sat down on the Moor with the children to read them the story. He did not stop at one story, but read to two very pleased children tour or five stories. About this time his wife finished her kitchen chores and came into the living room, sur-veyed the situation and stretched out on the divan. After the children Crew tired of reading we spent the next half hour wrestling In the way only a father and his children can enjoy. When bedtime came he helped put two tired and happy little young-sters to bed. That evening turned out to be a very happy one. but It would not have been had he let the children worry him into being cross and disagreeable. Needless to say, he felt much better after considering the feeling of the children, for they were Just as hungry fur the com-panionship of their father aS he was tired from the extra work In addition, his wife had a chane for some early evening relaxation that to mother is a real luxury.
