10 the odd and Out-moded notion
thar old Uncle Samuel. ii he is to
keep ont of the poOrhOuSe. must
act less like l0-year old prOdisal
at Il street fair.
This old SOrebaCk will have no
easy time, soon The crew he is
meSSin' with are slick habieS-theY
are not going to brush the caviar
from their vest and go back to real
work. and buy their own car and
gas. if they can avoid same.
Right now the Govt says il is
abandoning bureaus and controls,
right and left that is what they
say But as sample you take the
OWL it folds up today on this side
of the street and tomorrow the eX-
OWL boys are riSht at home over
in the State Dept. Sorta like try

house yard. YOU root him out of
one hole and he pops into another.
And at one time people coulf
