Senator Murray's Gain

St Louis Post-Dispatch Sunday, March z 1948
There is good from Montana that Senator
Murrays chances of reelection have been greatly en-
HANGED by recent developments
James E Murray is one of the progressive men
in the senate HI is of the authors the Wagner
Murray ngell bill for health insurance and is the
author of the Murray bill for Missouri Valley Author
y He has however, incurred the enmity of the most
powerful interests in his state the Anaconda Conner
Co and the Montana Power Co, which have things
politically pretty muct their way. Six years ago he won
reelection by only about 1000 votes
This year, chances had seemed exceptionally good
FOR Republicans that they would win Murrays seat in
the senate, but now the odds have been reversed
publisher Kenneth r. Byerly reports in the Lewstown

potential votegetter is being discouraged from enter

At the crossroads the people will talk, and the

that military might never yet has assured the peace
though always that has been the stated aim of the
armorers. The grassroots citizen, who has longer

Hiroshima in binding flash: that at any hour since
then could have taken out Moscow and Leningrad

beyond humiliation there is nothing.

10 Years Ago-Military Budget

The entire cost Of the federal government in 1888
10 years ago-was only 81 billion. of which billion
and half appropriated to keep many Americans
from starving to death. The military in year
ceived only 81 billion.
Compare that with todays federal budget which
calls for $44 billionof which $11 billion 1890
the budget is for current military operations,
other 1870 goes for the of past wars

ing miIitarism Both of them are "afraid of
peace"
Those industries which coined billions of
profits in manufacturing instruments of de-
structiOn know that under peace, their profits
will be greatly curtailed that the demand
for the engines of destruction which they are
fooled to produce, will become nonresident
So they must use all pressure for big army;
preferably big war. And they seem to be
making progress.
The same conditions are threatened by
peace, in connection with the brass hats in
the army. Reduction of the size of the
armed forces, removes all legitimate reasons
for hordes of officers of high rank This is
understandable. During the war, the Of
ficers of the regular army were advanced in
grade several times. Peace and the reduc-
ton of forces, would force them back to their
original, regular grades with corresponding
reductions in pay.
The attitude of the War and Navy depart
ments was rather clearly set forth by Con-
gresham A J. Engel of Michigan in a recent
speech in congress when he told about his
opposition to the size of the appropriations
for the military. In the course of his re-
marks he told the following:
1--WE asked for and received a breakdown of the
number of officers the army asked for in grade
Were General Eisenhowers and Secretary of War Pat
tersons faces red when they had admit that this
so-caled irreducibe budget contained money to pay
Captains Is Majors Lieutenant Colonies, - Colones
for every Second Lieutenant they had in the army
outside the Air Force. Excluding the Air Corps which
has about 500 of the officers the army for the
following:
1923 Second Lieutenants
6,719 First Lieutenants
21177 Captains
2O706 Majors
1851 Lieutenants Colonies
6002 Colonies
They had 16 Major Generals than they had
Brgadier Generals They had much star-dust in the
budget that it looked like the Milky Way They asked
for 1877 Major Generals 181 Brgadier Generals 26
Lieutenant Generals, fourstar and five
star Generals all for the ground services less than
100000 men in the army excluding the air forces and
yet the Secretary of War and Chief told the
nation that this irreducble budget And during
all this time that old couple with 200 annual in
come paying $500 year bread and butter money
in taxes which the army throwing down military
rathoe.
I'VE haven't scratched the surface The NAVY was
just as bad, wrote the Secretary of the Navy two
years and gave him evidence that an Admiral had
so he could have fresh eggs Another Admiral sent a
plane 700 miles and back to breed his tabby cat to a
ON cat The Secretary of the Navy admitted that
)oh trips had taken place. but claimed that the Adj

this may be said i'll their behalf: They are
not entirely responsible for what appears
in editorial columns. Back of the editors
are the publishers. In the last analysis.
they are the gentlemen who have placed
the dollar sign above the entrance to the
editorial >anctum.
In the average newspaper o1flcc. IN
editor who vigorously defended the pub

EXPOSING AN OLD FAKE AGAIN

Every o and then YOU VIII hear, or
read, the charge that the money collected
for Social Security is spent for other GOV
cr1mcnt purposes and that the fund itself
contains nothing but government |. 0.
IS. People who oppose Social Security
and all other forms of social legislation
use this type Of stale. phoney propaganda
constantly.
It is true that the money collected from
EMPLOYERS and workers for Social Sccul-
itv is invested III a type OF government
bonds which pays three per cent interest
a higher rate than other government
bonds. Certainly the funds should be in
vested. What safer investment can be
found than a government bond?
Our government never defaulted on a
single bond in its history. Yet, hundreds
Of corporations have gone broke, and bill
lions have been lost in the bonds Of such
companies. Many a heightened golf club
has papcred the walls Of it's bar room with
stock and bonds Of busted companies.
Uncle's bond is his l. 0. U. That's all
any bond is-an |. @. U. It's a promise
to pay. 1t is good if the hacker is good.
Don't worry about the Social Security
money. It's safely invested in the finest
securities on earth. 1t is earning a fair
rate of return and when it is needed to
pay off your claim, the money will be
there.
