Mr.. Gabrielson said:
THAT is a definition which

an administration which is taxing
the American people every year to
a sum greater than the Nations

resignation because Republican re-
serve funds had dropped below

critical Of the bipartisan foreign
policy followed by several party
leaders.
Expressing regret over Mr..
Kemper's resignation, Mr.. Ga
brielson said the Chicagoan had
rendered invaluable service to the
party. He added that he was
glad Mr.. Kemper would continue
to work for the election of a Re-
publican Congress and President.
In announcing that he was quit

said he would devote most Of his

GabrieIson Hits Back
At Truman, Citing
Rise in National Debt
By the Associofed Press

Guy Gabrielson. Republican ma
tional chairman, said today the
Truman brand of government is
taking more from the American
people than it costs them to eat
and is piling up debts for their
children to pay.
Mr.. Gabrielson cracked back in
a statement at what he called
President Truman's Qualification"
of the record of the Republican,
controlled 80th Congress in an
address at st. Paul last night.
The Presidents address-calling
on lawmakers to enact his Fair
Deal program as a "stanch shield"
against communism and Mr..
Gabrielson's reply were prelim-
mary firing in a 1850 congress
sional election campaign that is
beginning to look like one of the
hottest in history.
Mr.. Gabrielson said Mr.. Truman
had talked lot at st. Paul about
Thomas Jefferson. He suggested

"The reactionaries of Jefferson's
time were exactly like the reac-
tionaries Of today" he continued.
whenever there is q new kind
of argument-from the same kind
of people-for the same kind of
reasons.
"The expenditures which we
make today for the education,
health and security of our citi-
zens are investments in the fu-
ture of our country just as surely
as the Louisiana Purchase was an
investment in the future"
Reverting to the opposition he
now is encountering with his pro-
gram, Mr.. Truman emphasized
that the policies are the same on
which he campaigned a year ago.

lieve in election returns"
But he expressed himself as

about revolution and class war

Mr.. Truman conferred with nli-

OF course, as long as you live
you will want to listen respect
fully to your mothers opinions
and avoid needlessly hurting her
by refusing to take her advice.
But when you are woman grown
you have to stand on your own
feet and settle your own affairs.
Your mother can't do that for
you. She can't live your life for
you, or really know what is best
for you. no matter how much she
thinks she does.
In this case she is altogether
wrong, and she is interfering in
something that is not her busi-
ness. The question Is absolutely
between you and the young man,
and If you want to continue on
with your job and he does not
object. your mother has no say-so
in the matter.
You would certainly be very
foolish not to 60 on and do the

do. Your mothers objection is
based upon nothing better than
some outmoded theory that there

DARN THE FACTS

Now we know that Look Maya
zine isn't even trying to get honest
results in its notorious public opin-
ION polls. In the June 9TH issue
Look comes up with the astonishing
announcement that Washington press
and radio correspondents almost
unanimously named Robert TAFT as
the Senator who contributes the
most to his country's welfare"
1t takes a lot OF gall to unblush-
ingly offer such propaganda about
the man who authored the Slave
Labor Act. who has consistently OPP
posed sound medical insurance, who
attempted to cut out housing aid To
subsistence farmers, and who en-
eineered the Dixie-GOP scuttling OF
civil rights legislation.
Look admits it questioned onl,
100 correspondents probably all
carefully hand-pickcd ior the right
answers. F..
1t is doubtful that Looks warped
opinions will do Taft any good III

a poll that only Q weeks ago had
the crust to announce that TAFT

kers' in spite Of the fact that only
