SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHKOMCLk "The Paper Everybody Reads** Why Lateness of Johnston's Report; He Supported Truman Editor, The Chronicle: Few loyal Americans will dis agree with Senator Olin D. John ston's findings on thp government- arranged and financed tour to Eu ropean countries and North Africa. The numerous government agencies in these many foreign countries suf- j ficiently: staffed with efficient Amer ican personnel would naturally amount to a sizeable expense figure. The revelation of the overstaffing with the addition of many foreign personal cronies, housemaids, sub-; secretaries, clerks, etc., many of whom appear to have amounted to,; temporary pals-on-tour with exces sive salaries added. Accordingly, many of these human parasites doj not know the nature of the loos to' which they are assigned. This report of Senator Johnston's was supposed to be an eye-opener; | but was it? Only in some details.! With all the graft and chiseling that j has been performed on Uncle Sam these many years , at home and abroad and under the eyes of the administration’s wise men, this is no surprise to those who have cared to. alert themselves to the trend of af- ; fairs. i The echoes are reverberating from, Moscow, the awaited report of an official American spokesman. The Soviet’s magnifying newspaper, Iz-! vestia, is shocked with delight at the apparent wasteful, inefficient and bungling manner affairs are con ducted abroad. The big question for some at home | may be: Why the lateness of this ap-' parent recent discovery being ex- j posed in the dying days of the Tru-' man administration by a colleague? i One wonders if this death-bed con-' fession of conditions would have j been made if the election had gone; differently. —EDWARD C.

Laurens Stilt Walker Winds Up In Hospital bedside! interview. “We had the high stilts tied on with ropes. One of the ropes must have slipped. Anyway, I went tumbling and that was that.” E. C. Hargrove, float decorator, and designer, said he got seven or eight calls “from all over the coun try’ as a result of the story Satur day. He asked the press for help when he couldn’t find any stilt walkers through theatrical, circus and other agencies. He brought Putnam and two pro fessional stilt walkers here by plane. The two professionals are W. E. Walker of Anderson, Ind., and Charles Sanders of Chicago. They also called Hargrove after reading the newspaper story. Hargrove wanted the stilt walk ers to perform with the “Little White Hodse” float of Augusta, Ga. The float resembled the golf course where Gen. Eisenhower sat, to be walking on the goif course, in the background, toward the next green. “Walker and Sanders did a won derful job,” Hargrove said tonight. “This w’as my pet float, and I was there w’hen it w’ent by the White House. President Eisenhower turn ed to others near him and pointed! to the stilt walkers. He was laugh ing and I could tell he got a big kick out of it.” WARNING- Check on your fire insurance.
