MEMBER: SOUTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION National Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York Chicago Detroit Philadelphia Government By Expediency i The United States now has about 433,000 men fighting in the Korean theater, Sen. O’Mahoney (D-Wyo) 1 indicated on the floor of «the Senate , recently. Yet the United States is not [fighting a war. Oh, no. That’s a. , police action that almost half a mil lion of our men are fighting and dying in. I Congress has to declare war. But |the President can authorize a' po-| I lice action. And so, although ev eryone knows we are at war in Ko rea, we legally are not at war. The “police action” subterfuge is typical of the government by e^ - pediency prcaticed by Mr. Roose velt and Mr. Truman. In our opin-, | ion, such shams are a contributing part of the moral breakdown of the country. J The governmental policy since CLINTON, S. THURSDAY.

He found some money be longing to an ice cream firm and as a reward was offered all the ice cream he wanted for a month. At last report we saw he was still alive, halfway through this expe rience consuming sodas, banana splits and ice cream cones. This shows not only how boys overlook or forget the recent reve lations of dubious and dishonest practices within the Federal gov ernment Corruption in government which has been winked at in recent years, unless extermir&ed, will destroy the nation from within. In our opinion there’s no integ rity left in this agency any more. It has violated all moral standards and the public trust, whether it has violated any laws or not. Favors and fees should end, and the only solution is to close it up since it’s rotten to the core as extensive m- like ice cream but how grown-ups enjoy it as w-ell.

I, Already Well Paid A suggestion shows up in Con gress to tax the expense allowance of Congressmen and the President. A Delaware senator proposed to lift the tax exemptions on the $2,500 a year expense allowance for Con gressmen. The same would apply to the Vice President, a poliical parasite, who now draws $10,000 a year in tax free expense allowance. The champion .grabber and spend er, President Truman, would also be included.

The members will be guests of Thorn- well Orphanage.
