moved just as rapidly as possible
Many of these government bureaus
would like to perpetuate them
selves and continue indefinitely tc
regulate and supervise the Amerl-
can people. But the average Ameri-
can citizen and soldier whistles to
be free in deed as well as in word.
The future in America is bright.
We must preserve high standard
of living, provide just compensation
for all workers and maintain the
earning power of the American peo.
pie. All of this is essential for our
national well being and to meet
our tremendous public debt. We
must guard against drastic infla-
ton or destructive deflation. Either
would be equally devastating to our
whole economic system. We must
reduce the number of government
employees and abolish unnecessary
governmental agencies and bu-
reaus. The total number Of employ
ees in government service in 1889
was less than one million, whereas
the total number now exceeds three
million. Of this number the army
has over 100000 civilian employ
ees in foreign countries, and il the
United States. Certainly vast re-
duction should be made in these,
and thus effect definite saving.
All of this will aid in the balancing
of the national budget, and this
must be accomplished in order to
effect sound national economy.
The supreme concern of the sol
diers today is for peaceful world.
they fought to end war. They sa-
crificed and died to make safe
world for the youth of tomorrow
We must translate their service and
sacrifice into permanent and en-
during peace. The contribution
which this nation made, in blood
and treasure must not be set at
naught by the ambitions of any ma.
tions or group of nations. The Unit
ed Nations Charter speaks the Ian
guage OF universal mankind in its
Iongings for a peaceful world.
''It must not fail. The hopes OF
humanity are centered in this sol
emn compact of fifty-one countries
pledging their sacred honor for the
preservation of peace among all ma
tions and peoples. The long tomor-
rows will exult in the realized
dream of the seers and prophets
as we Danish war from the earth. :"

H0EY RAPS MANY
FEDERAL BUREAUS
Senator Speaks At Dedi-
cation Of Memorial To
BIaden County Vets

ELIZABETHTOWN, April 27-
The sacrifices which American
fighting men made to win the wal
and secure an enduring peace
must not be set at naught by the
ambitions of any nation or group
of nations" Senator Clyde R. Hoey
of North Carolina asserted here TO-
day in speech at ceremonies
marking the dedication of a me-
mortal to the Bladen county veter-
ans of World War II.
Approximately 5000 people from
Bladen and neighboring counties
ere present to hear Senator Hoey
wad his address was preceded by
q parade Of Blader war veterans
in uniform. Overhead, formation
of planes from Seymour johnson
Air base, Goldsboro gave an ex-
hibition of formation flying.
Music was provided for the oc-
casion by the ROTC band of New
Hanover High school, Wilmington,
while the honor roll marker Was
presented to the county and vet
erans by Mrs. Wanda Campbell,
mistress of ceremonies. j. H.
Hemingway. Purple Heart winner
and Special Service officer for
Bladen county accepted the gift on
behalf of the veterans and the
county.
The celebration, one of the most
successful in the history of Eliza
bethtoWn, was sponsored by the
Elizabethtown Junior Women's
club, which erected the marker.
H. H. Clark, ElizabethoWn attor-
ney, delivered a short memorial
tribute to Bladen county's heroic
dead.
Introduced by Congressman J.
Bayard Clark. Of the Seventh North
Carolina district. the Senator called
for reduction in government en-
ployes as one way of helping to
balance the national budget and eff
feet a sound economy, with pros
perity for all people. He also de-
manded the abolition of bureaus
which would like to perpetuate
themselves and continue indefinite
ly to regulate and supervise the
American people"
"Our soldiers fought FOR freedom
and liberty in America; for the
right of the citizen to live his own
life and to exercise his freedom of
choice with reference 10 his whole
activity; for the opportunity to do
anything he wishes so long as he
does not trespass upon the rights
of others,' Senator Hoey said.
1.-THE soldier does not want to be
regimented, supervised or circum-
scribed. There are too many the
orists today who would like to pro-
vide q planned economy. They want
to order the whole life of the indi-
vidual. That would mean taking
away all incentive, denying the full
play of initiative ano placing every
body on a dead level of mass medi-
ocrity. America was not built on
that pattern.
1.-THE American soldier has no ST.
oerior anywhere. Differing from
other nationalities, the American
soldier was ready in any emergen-
ry to act on his own initiative. He
was euqal to the situation when left
IN his own resources and always
gave a good account of himself.
That was the result of his spirit of
self-reliance and independence. The
next in line was Always ready and
willing to take command. This was
due to the inherent character of
the man and the sense of RESPONSE
bility which every American feels.
"The returned soldier is restive
under controls, regulations and re-
strictions, and properly so All OF
these should be and must be -e-

When a fireman or policeman

given, according to the accounts
we read In the newspapers and
the comments or rather the lack
Of comment on the part Of those
In authority, exclusive of the
department heads. But that Is
natural, We suppose, for as as
matter OF fact, the hundreds Of
10Th departments are little known
BY the ones who actually guide
the personnel, because they have
been IN office only a short time.
and perhaps feel that no personal
acuuaintanceship is necessary.
And they may be right IN this
conception, Of present day ethics,
yet 1t was different not so many
years back
We thought Of this the other
day when we learned of the death

For years he was a member Of the

him elected TO office. He was OF
medium size, young, and with
wads Of wavy black hair, an up
10 date Derby hat, set back with
the style Of the day, that allowed
full view of the fine head OF hair
bestowed on him. He wore

type, similar in shape to the re-
quirei by the Fireman OF year,

Of public safety was friendly anc

modest tone. There were no shouts

AZ Boston Office

Boston, Feb. 26-Several COM
plants against former OpA EN-

to business, have been received
from BUSINESS firms in New Eng
land, Eldon C. Shoup, oPA regional
administrator, said today.
This Is new version OF the
racket worked by so-called ration
experts, who operated two years
ago." Shoup said. These Consult
ants to business base their claims
on ability TO secure price relief and
adjustments on wearing apparel and
consumer durable goods
One manufacturer complained
that he had been victimized by a
"consultant" he had retained who
failed to get him a break" with
price officials.
Considerable sums Of money have
been extracted from businessmen
by these "consultants", Shoup
pointed out.
The regional administrator said,
Applications for price relief are
considered and acted upon by OPA
at no cost and the consultant can
exert no influence"
He said that there is an OPA d.
receive which prohibits ex-OPA at
torneys from negotiating OPA cases
with the OPA price or enforcement
sections for a period of one yea.
from the date employment with
OPA ends.
Shoup pointed out that outside of
this prohibition there is no restric-
ton on any person or persons. ex-
OPA employees or others. setting
themselves up as business consult
ants"
However" he said, 1.-THE practice
which has become more prevalent
during the past few months. has
victimized manufacturers and BUSH
nessmen because no business needs
to have any person or persons in
tercede in applying for price relief
and adjustments"
He said the usual procedure fol-
lowed by certain business consult
ants who, are eX-OPA employees
is to approach a manufacturer and
offer him help in getting a quick
price increase for any item. The

fee he can get his fromer associates
