"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. HENDERSON.

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.
Be sure that it’s all right.
Don’t wait until tomorrow,
Your house may burn tonight.
Of all the sad surprises.
There’s nothing to compare
With going home some time
And finding no house there.
Be sure you have insurance
Enough to build again.
Be wise—insure with Wysor.
Don’t be left in the rain.

Robert Putnam, 33, of Laurens,; g

I was a shortage of stilt walkers for g
the parade.
Putnam said he had walked on; g
stilts in high school and in South g
Carolina parades but wasn’t a pro-jg
fessional.
“I wanted to help out the parade g
committee and General Eisenhower
and so I called long distance to,g
the Washington parade committee
and volunteered,” Putnam said. !g
He was practicing last night %
when he fell and injured both!*
