A Letter
From Bill LaniaN

Dear Neighbor:
Last December. upon returning
from q Congressional COMMITTEES
investigation of military supply
operations around the world, re-,
ceived rather short but Interest,"
ing letter from one Of our neigh.
bors.
In his letter he wrote: Gas .
rather disappointed constituent
who was a supporter Of yours, may
j say that l hope you enjoyed your
world junket at public expense.
Happy jaunts in the future"
In answering this gentleman, at
that time, ! pointed out that had
criticized Congressional "junkets"
as much as anyone; that his criti-
cism would be justly deserved II
in the next session of Congress this
committee did not make concrete
recommendations to Congress ~
to how we could make specific cuts
in our Military expenditures with
out impairing National Defense. In
brief, the mission Of our Commit
tee was to insure that the Ameri-
can taxpayer was getting a dol
lars worth Of defense for every
tax-dollar expended.
Our studies in Alaska, Japan,
Korea, the Middle East and Europe
convinced us that there was too
much fiat in the military bud
gets.
Last week we proposed amend
ments TO the 1858 appropriation
bill for the Armed Services which
would reduce our military spend
ing by 247 million dollars. All Of
these amendments were adopted
by the House of Representatives.
Furthermore, we stopped the
sale of surplus property which
the Army has now recaptured with
resultant savings TO all Of Us.
I was very proud to have sue
cessfully sponsored amendments
reducing these appropriations by
over ~ million dollars. That
amounts to q Congressman's sal
airy for over 5000 years! And had
l not made that trip overseas I
would not have known where We
could simplify our military opera
tons so as 10 achieve efficiency
and economy without gripping our
defense forces.
Yes. those Of us In public Office
are always targets for criticism.
oftimes it is justified. However.
nothing would be more hearteninR
than to hear from that same gen.
tleman saying, Thanks, BIN. I
have a little more confidence IN
my Congress. !" But win that letter
ever be sent.

Political
Notes

TALLAHASSEE "a = Sen. Estes
Kefanver will visit the Florida
State Capitol today, but he has no
intention Of looking up Gov. Fuller
Warren.
The Tennessee senator, touring
F.sgiGla in his campaign for the
l. e@oeratic presidential nomina-
ton, scheduled news conference
IN the Capitol Pressroom one floor
above the office Of the governor,
who Is perhaps his most outspoken
political foe.
81 have no intention of paying a
courtesy call on the governor, !"
Kefauver said in response to a
question from a reporter at st.
Petersburg Tuesday night.
1--WE tried to be fair with him,
but I'm neither looking for him
nor lodging him."
Warren has kept up q running
barrage Of statements, charges
and insinuations against Kefauver
since the Tennessean brought his
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee TO Florida in 1850 and criti-
cixed Warren administration ham
ding Of gambling in the state.
The governor contends he has
suppressed gambling in Florida,
and that Kefauver took no action
10 suppress crime In his own state
Of Tennessee. He has challenged
the senator to debate, and threat
ened to work against him in the
Democratic convention. He has an
nounced his support Of Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell Cd. -Ga.) whom Ke-
fauver opposes in the May 6 party
popularity poll.
AT the outset Of his fast airplane
tour of the state Tuesday to set
up campaign organizations. Ke-
fauver said the chief difficulties
he sees are the bitter opposition
Of Gov. Fuller Warren and the
lack Of time to campaign"
II have no personal enmity To-
wards Fuller Warren" he added.

tried as chairman Of the Senate
Crime Investigating Committee TO
do q fair job"
The committee invited, then SUBJ
poenaed Gov. Warren to appear
before il as q sworn witness. He
refused on grounds that the SUBJ
poenz violated state rights.
Kefauver said the governor was
the only public official who didn't
honor a committee invitation to
appear and cooperate in the crime
investigations.
"One makes enemies sometimes
who hate with . vengeance. That
seems to be the situation with
Gov. Warren I'm sorry it's that
way" he said.
