Small details show how the wind blows:! live in the salubrious town of Manning. Many towns the same size have public buildings. Many years' ago, prob ably before the Truman era, the Post Office Department bought a lot in Manning for a post office. The Government, in its dire poverty, has not been able to build a post of fice :n Manning in all these years cf riotous plenty and world-widp hand-outs. Perhaps if this excel lent town of fine people were in France, Africa or Korea it would soon be given a postal palace. The incident serves to prove that the Government can be niggardly as well as a profligate—and at the same time. It dose not prove, how ever, that the Govrenment does not misspend millions of dollars with a wasteful hand. So I suggest J U nable or unwilling that the Byrd committee tell the' President what its findings were; and then let the President use the power of his office and the full impact of his leadership to compel his subordinates to make substan tial economies. and in encouraging development by day and eight in possession with one Judge of Probate of Laurens Coun taxpaying private enterprise.
