A DAWSON REPORTS ... OpPOLITICAL TRICK ponents of President Eisenhower here are trying to leave the false impression that our successful efforts in cutting the federal budget in Congress have something to do with the financial cri-- 1 sis in the Post Office Department. This is not the case. We have not been given an opportunity to act upon post office appropriations and as a result, Postmaster General Summerfield has no choice but to curtail service. MY POSITION My position ... has always been that the Post Office of all government agencies is the department that must be adequately provided for by Congress. Its record of fast, honest and efficient service has won It is it worldwide recognition. a service that our people want and are willing to pay for. That i3 the reason, also, I favor raising postal rates on all types of mail in order that it can be I know of no greater bargain in government or uot than that a person gets when he buys a stamp secure in the knowledge that this little investment guarantees that his letter will arrive at its destination thousands of miles away in the shortest possible time. OTHER WASTE ... I wish I tions Committee which recommends the agency be cut back to at least $105 million during the coming fiscal years. I have no NO QUARREL quarrel with the overall aim of the agency that of informing other nations of the importance of freedom and the menace of communism. To the extent that the USIS has prevented, communism from taking over the vast resources of these undeveloped nations, its program can be justified and has my support. But many of the programs by your money and mine are enough to make your hair stand on end. SOME EXAMPLES . . . Under the theory that it would promote better understanding of America, the USIS this year sent Dizzy GiHespie. a jazz trumpeter, and his band to the Near East and South America. Eight appearances were made by the band in the Near East. Mr. Gillespie himself was paid $2100 per week during the eight weeks he was in the area more than the President is paid. The overall cost to the taxpayer of this tour A lecturer, who was $133,000. spoke only English, accompanied him and was paid $1905 in tax funds. This is the type of spending I oppose. A CONTRAST One of the most successful goodwill tours by any American group according to the record was that of the LDS Tabernacle choir.
