Mrs. Holder. of these fiscal problems sterna di rectly from the popular political gimmick of trying to "give the peo ple something for nothing.’ What too many have not realized fully in the past ia that the government—wheth er it be federal, state, or local- can give nothing but that which it j first takes from the people. Thank goodness, however, the vast major ity of the people are no longer being deluded by this political trick, which many prefer to call ‘•liberalism," but in actuality is no less than so cialism. I have prepared the follow ing figures which tell a very shock ing story .which should be of con-1 1 cern to every American. SPENDING 'INCREASE IN Thurmond Reports SPENDING CONSEQUENCES Fiscal problems are plauing our governments in this country at all levels—federal, state and local. Gov- 'erpment spending at all levels, es pecially on the part of the federal I government, has soared to astro nomical heights. Taxes are already unbearable to many, and they tend to stifle private initiative. We are plunging further and further into debt. At the same time, the evil of inflation, which is no respecter of pocketbooks, is robbing our pur chasing power day by day. The root BILLIONS % 1938 1958 Incr.

We spent two days in the Senate laat week debating a proposal which did not even merit considera tion by the Senate. Under the Na tional Defense Educatoni Act passed last year, persons who accept grants or loans under the program must first execute an oath of allegiance to the United States and swear they do not belohg to a communist or ganization. The Senate Labor Com- mitttee reported to the Senate floor a bill to repeal the allegiance and afidavift requirements. I can se no reason why anyone should object to pledging his loyalty to his country if he wishes to share in special benefits offered by the government or to serve in a position of trust or responsibility in the gov ernment. In fact, every person em ployed by the government must now execute a smilar oath of office. Ev ery member, of my ofice staff has done so. 1 am glad to report that the Senate, after several close votes, fin ally voted 49-42 to recommit the bill to the Labor Committee for—I hope —posterity. SOVIETS APPLAUD STRAUSS DEFEAT A news dispatch from Moscow last week quoted Deputy Premier Mikoyan as being very joyful over the Senate’s recent rejection of Com merce Secretary Lewis Strauss. He said the secretary had prevented 12,- 000 tons of steel pipe from being exported to Russia, adding: "I’m not usually in agreement with the (U. S. ) Senate, but we were pleased when the Senate disapproved his nomination." Mr. Mikoyan’s com ments confirm my opinion that the Senate did a great injustice to a competent and loyal American.
