CLINTON, S. C., THCRSDAY, JANUARY 10. 1952
Broken Out Like Rash
. President Truman recently hur-
r;td back to Washington, from an
< Mended vacation stay in Florida
and announced he was going to take
drastic action against corrupt Fed
eral “ officiate. He selected - Jarhje
Thomas-F Murphy of New-York to
head, an investigating committee
but the'latter declined the offer.
Why he would not tackle the house-
cleaning job the American people
were not told.
The president now announces he
is planning a sweeping reorgaiza-
tio of the Bureau of Internal Reve
nue. ^Attorney General McGrath
has come in for nationwide criti-
ciim on the efficiency with which
his department has been conducted,
and there is the open charge that
dishonesty, shady transactions, po
litical influence peddling have been
prevalent in many places. Morality
has reached a low' ebb, and confi

going on in Washington and else

ticket. In the last election such an
effort was - made, it will be recalled,

the General to announce himself as

those of our state lined <Sp in that

were so interested in committee as

they would not dare to bolt the na

D. Eisenhower had “pulled the rug
out from under” his supporters and
left them without a candidate.
The statements from the Taft
