Say, thats Yes. Oh, its all right my wife has H. I. Phillips Then for goodness sake, dont been wanting to take a trip for a him bark. He just bit me. let time, anyhow. long Somewhere in Korea Emergency DEAR BABE: may have to have a cease fire in the cease-fir- e proceedings. All the enemy wants is our two front teeth. Like I was afraid of from the first, the whole dea is to switch the Korean war from Korea to the foot of 43rd Street in New York. The Reds may even propose that we get the whole business back on television under a Chinese sponsor, who will, of course, be just a volunteer. Well we You got the wrong Idea In your note asking me about the buffer strip being necessary to an armistice. It has nothing to do with Gypsy Rose Lee. A buffer strip is a military term and means a stretch of land on each side of the 38th parallel. So dont worry. I have been very busy in my job as a checker with the cease-fir- e delegations, but what we need on our side is slicker publicity men. The Reds are always trying to rig up the scenery so our side will get the worst of it. I suppose you read how at the huddles so far we got In to find a load of armed Reds present so the Commie world would get photographs that made it look like they was in complete charge and we was apologizing for living. Thats been changed now but I wouldnt be surprised if the Reds doctored up all photos to make it appear like they was Napoleon and we was Howdy UNDER WATER Photo above is a view of the main railroad facilimarshalling yards of Kansas City with its freight-movin- g ties submerged by the worst flood in the history of the nation.

GRASSROOTS i Change of Bureaucratic Army Could Follow Next Elections By Wright A. Patterson DESPITE all the needs for i j ::4 econo- urged by the my, President, the executive department at Washington does not practice any of the Presidents admonitions that he insists are necessary on the part of every American. In government the waste goes merrily on, with Gen. George Marshalls department of defense leading the way. As an example: Recently the army wanted several million pounds of margarine for the troops in Korea. The purchasing agent of the army purchased the several million pounls at a price of 25 cents a pound. Within a few minutes walk of the Pentagon building, Secretary Brannan, secretary of agriculture, sold at approximately the same time, just about the same number of pounds of grade A-- l creamery butter to Italy at 15 cents a pound. That butter had been purchased by the department to keep the price of butter up to the American consumer. Had it been provided for our armed forces, the result on the home market would have been the same as selling it to Italy. Such t ''V K": ... f i f T-- 4.. I i transactions represent unnecessary waste. Hundreds of such items have been dug out of the records by members of congress, and are aired on the floors of both the senate and house. It is the airing of such items that causes the careful scrutiny of appropriation bills. Last year the navy purchased paint enough to paint all naval ships several times over. The surplus, and more, was sold to a German concern. When it was found that too much had been sold, at a price of less than one third the original purchase price, navy purchasing agents bought that same paint back from the German concern at better than three times the price at which it had been sold. Wastel Wastel Waste! through all the administrative departments of government, and no one called on the carpet because of it. The total runs into many millions and possibly billions, for all of which the tax payers must pay. Senator George (D) of Georgia says the administrative departments can easily cut six billions from their budget demands, and that there will be no additional taxes voted until that six billion cut has been made. That demanded six billion cut does not include any de fens rearmament pgpenditure?, which could cover another six bil- Doody. lion. Despite the evidence of waste the President continues to call for more and larger appropriations, more taxes, that the nation may be saved from the dangers of inflation. He does not recognize that government purchasing of commodities creates a shortage, quite as much as in- dividual demands, only the excess demands of government, is far greater than is the hoarding purchases of the individual. From what school of economists does he select his advisers? Each one of the hundreds of items of sheer waste that congress Is seeing are but a drop in the inflationary rainstorm, but the total of them constitutes a flood. It takes desire for economies on the part of executive heads from the President down. Those who do not have such a desire, those who are responsible for the waste to be found in the executive departments ' of government, should be severely disciplined for waste in their departments, but such is not the way of politics, and the rule of today in Washington is politics as usual, regardless. The coming national election might contain hopes for improvement, hopes for a radical reduction in the army of inefficient bureaucrats, but the Republicans are making no promises. They are not interested in a reduction in the bureaucratic army, only in effecting a change in the personnel of that vast army of more than 2,300,000. They now epresent Democratic votes, when the personnel is changed they will represent Republican votes, but be equally as inef- ficient Gen. Ridgway will not be dismissed for not following Presidential directives, though doing so brings dishonor and defeat to America. Did you get a load of the Red propositions? They demand that we bug out back of the 38th parallel, giving up all that a lot of good Joes died for. It is like a guy getting tossed out of a saloon and offering to talk peace if the fellow who threw him out will leave the saloon. All foreign forces to leave Korea as soon as possible . . . yon know what that means. Check on the record and see if yon can find any case where the Commies ever kept their side of that agreement. In this case It could be an even bigger headache because the Reds claim they are not foreign forces but just visiting volunteers. The only forces to bug out would be our side. Far be it from me to be technical. Like all the other G.I.s I want to get out of this gruesome country where a mountain is just a lump on another mountain. But I would rather not get out as a result of taking a sucker punch and turning over all the South Korean homeless mothers and kids to the tender mercies of the North Koreans, the Red Chinese and Big Joe. If the Reds are leveling the cease dre should take place with both sides holding where they are. Otherwise, In a football game when one side has the ball in enemy territory and time is called out the side making the gain should go back behind its own goal posts and start all aver again. Like I said, In all the huddles the Reds beat as to the punch in publicity and propaganda. They even carried guns :o give the idea our brass which sarried only cigarettes and Coke was only on a guest paneL :ease-fir- e Peace is so tough these days that Is hard to tell it from war and Jherman made the understatement f history when he pulled that one 'War is hell.
