II The Democrats- Welfare Staters The Democratic and Republican platforms adopted at the recent conventions in I>os An- geles and Chicago ilon’t leave the voters of the Smith much room for choice in the No- vemU-r election Both documents expound principles and put forth legislative programs, that will do anything but attract the overwhelming sup- }»«>r. of the electorate in the Southern states. The Democratic platform, especially, seems haw l**en written with the end in view of driving the S.uth from the party. And the nveption accorded S«*uthem delegates to the convention w«.uld further confirm such a i (*rk I u * w>n.

If no ev idence of illegal practices was found, the Department should have so stated. We guarantee that if any wrong doing hail been uncovered, the Attorney General would have shouted it to the skies. His refusal to make any kind of a report on the investiga tion is taken as an admission that there were no grounds for it in the first place. The Senator’s demand for an apology to the people of these counties has- gone un answered.

The Citizens Public Expenditure Survey. New York, a state-wide tax research organiza tion. calculated that even 1f the government should end each year with a surplus of 1.1 billion and apply all oTit to paying off the debt, it would still take about 260 years— until the year 2220—for the entire debt to W paid. In'.tW 1 meantime, just the interest on the debt makes it the second most costly item on your federal tax bill. Only national defense costs more. We must continue to tell our legislators—on the local and state as well as the federal level—to keep government spend ing within revenues and step up the battle to reduce the debt.

The Attorney General sent FBI agents to search, -eize and photograph the records of these counties, from which there had been no complaint regarding discrimination in registration ami voting.
