the AP put OUT
Taber directly what he thought OF
Mr.. Benton's capabilities. Mr..
Taber, launching his shoulders up
and down, responded:
HE has been in there for a year
and a half. He has not cleaned the
picture up. Whether he ever will,
I don't know. If he stays, I hope
he does. do feel it must be cleaned
up if it Is to go on to be a success. "
Mr.. Mansfield declared Mr.. Ben
ton has done "A good job" He
cited a letter in a local newspaper
signed by Paul G. Hoffman, pres1-
dent of the Studebaker Corp; VIII
liam D. Fuller, president OF the
Curtis Publishing Co., and Marion
B. Folsom, treasurer of the Eastman
Kodak Co.
Career Reviewed in Letter
In the letter, they reviewed Mr..
Benton's career in business, radio
and education, termed him the "Top
man in the country for the job" and
added:
And it would be tragic, for the
sake of a political maneuver, to
waste the 20 months of experience
he has acquired in mastering an
assignment that is as new and as
unfamiliar to our country as it is
necessary"
Mr.. Taber, his face flushing
snapped back that it has become
Increasingly evident" that the
"cry of politics" will be raised every
time an attempt is made to ir1vesti-
gate Government departments.
MY interest is not politics. he
said.
Mr.. Taber reiterated his criticism
later in a radio debate with Sena-
tor Hatch, Democrat, of New Mex
leo.
Wedding Out Drones Urged.
Asserting that the "drones, the
loafers and the incompetent must
be weeded out of the State Depart
ment setup," Mr.. Taber declared:
TN my opinion the whole thing
could be done better by private
industry. And if it had to be sub
sidized by the Government -.
believe it would be cheaper ano
would be better handled"
Senator Hatch, contending the
Government should carry on the
program, said there is war OF
ideas going on in the world. 1t is
imperative that our own views be
presented by us to the people Of
the world"
He argued that private agencies
cannot do the job satisfactorily
saying that censorship restrictions
and communications barriers Of
various kinds in many areas pre-
vent a full budget of information
from getting through in private
channels"

Mr.. Reece said the situation Is
serious because the Republicans dc
not have in either House of Congress

pass. a tax bill or labor bill over

therefore, he said, that President
Truman may win temporary VIC

Advertising Agency.
The report was made public at the
end of a week during which the
House refused to appropriate any
money to finance the Voice OF
America" and other international
information and cultural activities
of the State Department for the
fiscal year beginning January l.
Lack of specific authorization by
Congress for the program was cited
as one reason for denying further
appropriations. A bill to grant this
authorization is being considered
sympathetically by House Foreign
Affairs Subcommittee
Chairman Taber of the Appropri-
ations Committee, one of the chief
critics in Congress of the infornna-
ton and cultural activities, conceded
at hearing before the foreign af-
fairs group yesterday that the pro-
gram might" be all right if it is
cleaned up" and the FBI checks the
loyalty of those who handle it.
The State Departments Advisory
Committee pointed out that rs per
cent of the earth's population lives
under some degree of censorship. 1t
added:
Radi& broadcasting offers the sur
est way to reach these people. as
well as those living in censor free
countries, with information about
the United States" ae
Government Obligation.
Although advising that most of the
Job of informing foreign opinion
about this country should be done
through private agencies, the COM
mittee said that where they are un-
able to act, 1T is the duty of the
United States Government to see
that the voice of America is heard.
For a permanent arrangement,
the committee recommended that a
public corporation or foundation be
set up to handle all international
broadcasting from this country. The
proposed foundation would get
operating, funds from Congress. Its
policies would be directed by board
of trustees consisting predominately
of distinguished private American
citizens" A similar plan already
has been submitted to Congress by
the State Department.
Benton's Qualifications Discussed
Mr.. Benton sat with his chin II
his hand as Mr.. Mansfield asked Mr.
Mr.. Taber told the Foreign
Affairs Subcommittee yesterday tha
the State Department should obtair
its news from the Associated Pres!
and the United Press.
Representative Mundt, Republican
of South Dakota. said the news
services were either unable or un'
willing" to supply the department
with news for broadcasts.
Invited to Present Views.
Representative Mansfield, Domo
crat, of Montana. said both AP ant
UP had been invited last year Il
present their views to the committe'
but that there had been no response
Mr., Taber insisted that "a prope
approach would bring about thei

far more helpful in most regions o
the world than the State De
partment broadcasts."

every one agrees prices are TOO
high." al
He denied fatty the Democi attic
charge that prices are at their pres
ent levels because the OPA and It's
controls have been eliminated.
Mr.. Reece attributed the real
cause of high prices to the policies
of Democratic administration over
the last IA years, which, he said
has been following the well-known
pattern for imitation and high
prices"
He added that the administration
in those years has been on the
greatest spending spree in all his
tory" He charged the Democrats
with over-production of dollars and
under production of commodities.
Mr.. Reece pointed out that from
the time George Washington be-
came President to March 4, 1883
when the late Franklin D. Roosevelt
entered the White House, the Gov
ernment spent total OF Sll6,ooo,-
oooo 900. From March 4, 1888, down
to the present day, the Government
spent s443, 900, ,000, 900.
Attack on Two Fronts.
Most of the dollars we spent
during the 14-year period, Mr.
Reece continued, "were dollars we
did not have. We borrowed them
and put them into circulation. II
is a basic principle of economics
that when a nation produces toe
much goods and too few dollars
prices 90 down. When it produces
too few goods and too many dollars
prices 60 up. We have had a pic
ture of the Treasury pumping ou
dollars by the billions, while otnel
branches of our Federal bureaucracy
even after the war ended, were doin.
everything in their power to holt
down production OF needed com
modities."

Reece said, is attacking the problem
of the high cost OF living on tW'

Your State Health
Officer Says

Rabbits offer more than substi-
tute for steaks, chops and other
meats too high in price to be used
daily. The lowly rabbit actually pro-
vides something of a delicacy, meat
that IS fine grained, juicy and nutri-
tious, and in providing ii "Brer
Rabbit" also offers good sport to
those who hunt him.
But in hunting, killing, handling
and eating rabbits, there is the dam
ger of contracting tularemia, or rab-
bit fever, a disease that is often seri-
GUS and stubborn. Usually Tular-
emia germs enter the human body
through any small break in the skin,
but occasionally the germs are car
ried from rabbits to human beings
by ticks and biting flies. Symptoms
of tularemia do not appear immedia-
tely, and for or days after in
fiction occurs, the victim is likely
to feel as well as ever. When sympt-
oms do appear, they are often SO
misleading that both the victim and
his physician may consider them the
symptoms of some other disease such
as grippe or malaria.
With a little forethought and care
the disease may be prevented. Wher

The principal reason why parents
and children are IN a perpetual con-
flict is because they do not belong
to the same generation and, to para
phrase Mr.. Kipling, East is East and
West is West, and so is youth and
age, and never the twain shall meet.
Fathers and mothers will bitterly
deny this. They live in the nal
lucination that they are still young

they didn't have the silly ideas and

ICE BOX GRAHAM CRACKER
CAKE.

(Froh X. Van K, Washington.)
The recipe for Graham Cracker
Cake which Mrs. r. j. R., requests
in the Clearing House is, believe,
what we call Date Pudding. One
half pound graham crackers, u
pound dates, Y pound marshmal-
lows, y pound nuts, chopped; n to
p pint cream Crush graham crack
ers, save about S or tablespoonfuls.
Add cream and chopped nuts oval
nuts are good. Cut dates and
marshmallows, and add to the first
mixture. Roll in the rest OF the
cracker crumbs. Let stand in cold
for to IL hours. (We simply sprinkle
the remaining crumbs in deep rec
tangular loaf pan, put mixture In
this pan and slice it to serve.) Serve
with whipped cream or ice cream on
each slice.
We have recipe for Date Candy.
Something unusual, we think. Cook
5 cups granulated sugar, l pound
dates cut fine and Ia cups milk
together until soft-ball stage. Re-
move from fire, add l cup nut
meats. Stir until thick and cool
enough to form a roll, which is
placed in waxed paper in refriger-
ator. Slice as desired. 1t is simpler
however, to pour into pan and cut
like fudge.
