Truman Promises Continued Drastic Action to Clean House in Government

WASHINGTON, (P) - PreSl- dent Truman Thursday promised what he called continued drastic action to clean house in the gov ernment.
 Allowing himself to be quoted directly at one point on the scan- dals in the tax collecting and some other agencies, MT. Truman told a news conference:
 "Wrongdoers have no house with me no matter who they were or are, or how big they are"
 In response to questions, the President said he has no plans to fire Attorney General J. Howard McGrath or Democratic National Chairman Frank Mckinney.
 Mir. Truman's news conference, always Well-attended, drew an even heavier than, usual attend ance of reporters who anticipated he might announce some dramatic action in connection with the lat est disclosures.
 When the subject came up, the President declared with firm em- phasis that his administration al- ways has acted swiftly to elimin- ate wrongdoers from it's ranks, and will continue to do so.
 He said his administration did exactly this, through it's loyalty boards, in the case of communists who were found to be working for the government.
 These were brought to trial and convictions were obtained by the attorney general, just as they should have, despite great deal of ballyhoo to the contrary, the President said.
 He was asked if Mckinney had been correct in telling reporters earlier this week that the Presi- dent feels he has been "seld down the river" by federal employees who have proved faithless to their trust.
 Well, who wouldn't feel that way?" the President said.
 He went on to say that he has been a fighter for clean govern ment ever since his first election 10 public office in 1922.
 He declined to say what sort of special agency he might set up to police the federal service. He said that if he does set up such a body it will be his own kind of committee and not one pat termed after some special govern ment units that have been set up in the past. ... t- ..

SO OoyOuQ CndC ana ask nc
Louis Browns can go before
He has not done anything
against the laws of baseball in his
promotional efforts. But in send
ing a midget up to the plate in
n game of Sundays double
header with the Detroit Tigers he
certainly violated the spirit Of the
game and whatever dignity base
ball may boast about. This double
header, both games of which the
Browns lost, was part of the cham
pionship race. No pennant actual
ly was involved, considering the
place of the Browns and Tigers
in the standings. But you still
play the game to win. Inherently,
AIlcIlCdlS are UcCCcI dLIlIcCCo
than those in any other land in
the world over. This often is
thrown in our face by beaten
foreigners. Their argument is
that we don't play for fun but
work at our athletics strictly to
win.
THERE is NOTHING wrong
with that. And whether Veeck
knows it or not people still go
to a ball park to root for some
body, besides to watch a baseball
game. If you deprive baseball of
it's rooters you deprive it of it's
basic reason for existance. There
must be ways to build attendance
without departing entirely from
what baseball is supposed to be.
He was technically within the
laws by signing a midget to a
contract and sending him up to
hit, after said midget stepped out
of a birthday cake, but it was act
ually a little silly. 1t will make
Just as little sense if Veeck does
come up with a giant to hit for
a player in a future game, as
threatened. The fact that there is
no rule against it does not make
it right. There are certain things
you do not do out of a sense of
good taste. Veeck and good taste
obviously are unacquainted. There
can be no real harm in dressing
up a baseball game with a side
show of one kind or another be-
fore a game or between games of
a double-header. But, when you
affect the actual playing Of a
game as Veeck did, the antics are
beyond the rules of %propriety.
Gate receipts certainly are i'm
portant. Nobody wants to go
broke, but again you build a base
ball club that people want to
watch instead of tearing baseball
down into a circus performance.

Greece and America

In relation to news story published
in The Evening Star of July 5, on ma
tions chosen as friends of the United
States, was surprised not to see Greece
mentioned. May remark that the bonds
Of friendship which link the American
and the Greek peoples have remained
steadfast for over 125 years? 1t was from
the courageous American people who
fought and won their independence that
Greek patriots drew the inspiration that
few years later, in 1921, helped them
to overthrow an alien tyranny and win
independence for their own nation.
Greece, whose troops are fighting in
Korea and whose government has
offered to double the number of those
troops in that battle, stands firmly on
the side of the United States and the
other democracies of the world in
today's struggle to preserve those free
dons which have been won at such
great cost.
The July 4th message of the Greek
Ambassador. Athanese G. Politis, trans
mitted to Greece by the Voice of Ameri-
ca. contains expressions which are
shared by every Greek citizen and man
ifests the faith which the Greek people
have in Americas leadership of the
worlds democratic forces.

That way libel is neatly sidestepped,
and Senator Tobey, Republican, of New

Commends GiIIette's Proposal

Senator Guy Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, is to be commended for his move
to set up committee in Congress to
represent consumer interests.
But to the average citizen it is in
conceivable that the setting up OF such
committee should be necessary He
always has believed that the Congress
meets for the express purpose OF looking
out for the interests Of the majority OF
the voting public and therefore, such
committee would be superfuous.
AS a result of this thinking, however.
the consumer should not be too severely
censored, as he is being currently, for
his seeming apathy in not responding
to present prodding by the radio and
press to write his Congressman regard
ing his views on the extension Of present
controls under the Defense Production
Act.
The man in the street believes that
to lombard his Congressman with let
ters would be to liken himself to the
farmer who felt compelled to follow his
hired hand all day to see that the man
did his job
In the same way, he feels he should
llOb A1dNC w lCAlA4Il1 4A4o NOiASAN NocAAASA'
to keep his interests uppermost.
The average citizen also can be for
given for naively believing that the men
he has voted to send to Congress are
free to work for legislation that will
benefit the general public. He knows
nothing of the political sitting by the
big money interests that precedes his
Congressmen's nomination, and the ulti-
mate pay-off for the political backing
and financial support of these special
interests, without which their campaigns
could not succeed.
But through the efforts of a few still
free men in Congress, men like Senator
Gillette, Senator Humphrey, of Mime
sofa; Senator Fulbright, of Arkansas,
and others, he is beginning to know of
the appalling influence special interest
groups have been and are welding over
some members of Congress. =
1t is to be hoped that the unprece-
dented publicity being given to the
relationship between our salons and
pressure groups may result in the Ameri-
can public interesting itself in what and
who is behind the legislation that affects
it's pocketbook and how the men it sends
to the Nations Capital vote after they
arrive there.

The School-Fu Subsidy

Senator Holland of Florida has called at
tention of Congress to fare inequlty that COM
plicateS the problem of fixing rates for the Capt.
tai Transit Company. The Senator has intro
duced a bill which would reduce the gap between
school childrens fares and actual costs OF trans
portation. This gap represents loss In revenue
which affects fares for all other transit paSsen-
gers In effect, the school children OF Washing
ton are enjoying a subsidy at the expense OF
every else who rides the streetcars and buses.
Local students pay the lowest school fare of
any similarly favored group in the United States.
Since 1888, when Congress ordered the Public
Utilities Commission to charge school children
only three cents for each ride, the disparity be-
tween the school rate and cost OF the service
rendered has been widening steadily. When the
three-cent fare was established the adult fare
was 712 cents. Today the regular fare is 15 cents
cash or three tokens for 40 cents. Capital
Transit, as a result of the recent wage increase
granted employees after their short-lved strike,
is preparing to ask for a straight 15-cent fare
The company reported total loss in 1850 OF
S777,O 900 in the transportation of students This
loss really was borne by the company's Gus
toners as a whole, of course.
Senator Holland does not advocate ending
the subsidy to school children completely. His
bill would direct the PUG to fix school fares at
One-nal1 the regular Tdle, W11dGCNCl ~ may
be- That would be in line with the practice IN
most other cities. School rates range from
to 10 cents with or 712 cents being customary
in several large cities. The Holland bill would
restore to the PUG at least some of the school,
fare-fixing authority which was taken away from
it when Congress stepped into the picture in
1888 In ordering the three-cent rate, Congress
ignored its own mandate giving the PUG wide
rate fixing powers and forbidding unreasonable
or discriminatory charges
There are persuasive arguments for granting
reduced fares to school children. Neither the
PUG nor Capital Transit has suggested that
special rates for children should be abolished
But the PUG last year commented that the three
cent fare "does not compensate the company
for the cost of service and imposes an undue
burden upon other users Of the service" The
half-fare proposed by Senator Holland would
ease but not entirely remove this burden on other
users The question which Congress should con-
slider in connection with the Holland bill is
whether the school-fare subsidy should be paid
by Capital Transit passengers as group or by
the entire community. There seems to be no
logical reason for assessing the cost against
transit customers exclusively.
