A LETTER FROM
BILL LANTAFF
Dear Neighbor:

Dear Neighbor:
AS we discussed last week,
adoption of 70 percent of the
Hoover Commission recommended
tions to date will eventually save
American taxpayers four billion
dollars a year.
Robert Mccormick, research
director of the Citizens Commit
tee for the Hoover r e p o + t,
revealed numerous problems and
opposition confronted the COM
mittee before adoption of these
recommendations could be
effected.
Take, for example, the Oregon
California forest land control
problem. Here, two agencies, the
Bureau of Land Management and
the Forest Service, were fighting
over control of these lands. They
resolved their problem by cutting
the territory up in checkerboard
fashion, with one agency controLl-
ing the even numbered squares
and the other supervising the odd
numbered squares.
This was a good way to settle
an argument but not to save
money. So, the recommendation
was to eliminate this duplicated
effort and place control of these
lands under one agency. The
trouble started. Folks served by
the Forest Service rose up in
opposition to the thought that the
Bureau of Land Management
might be given control of their
territory. Folks served by the
Bureau were just as opposed to
a change that would place control
of the area in the hands of the
Forest Service. Neither side
wanted to give in and therefore
made the Committees job that
, much more difficult.
There was the case of a veteran
dying in Corpus Christi, Texas,
because no bed space was avail
able in the VA hospital there.
What made it a tragic case was
that a navy hospital there at the
ime had Is doctors serving but
recommended joint usage of VA
six patients. The Commission
and service hospitals by veterans
and servicemen. Immediately,
opposition was registered to this
recommendation by the American
Legion and other veterans groups.
The Chambers of Commerce
favored, through resolutions
adoption of the entire Hoover
Comission Report when it was

LAST WEEK the local law
makers whipped up a law that
bans female impersonators from
appearing in Miami mite b S
"a nice name for bawdy honky-
.onks). Literally, the law tells 'em
to grab their hair-dos, falsies
and get going" Those who didn't
change their act, reluctantly
gave a quick jerk of their heads
and waddled off to other cities
where the law wasn't so hard on
'em. Of course the edict was most
" for the femmic entertainers In
the white section, but we, too
have our girlish men squirming
in our mite clubs, so they too will
have to go.
We haven't dug these places
where the girls" play to see II
they have obeyed the law or not.
Although we have attended many
of these clubs who put on these
acts, we do feel that it was about
time that they should be wiped
from the entertainment scene in
our town and give us something
decent to gaze upon while we
sip our bourbon and water.

first made public. That was until
one recommendation - increase
of postal rates was introduced
in Congress. The Chambers pro-
tested this recommendation In
complete reversal of their origi-
nal public support.
The point made by Mr.. McCor-
mick in our interview was this.
II we are to effect any economy
in government, if we are to elm
mate duplicating efforts in gov
ernment, If we sincerely want a
minimum of government - then
each and every one of us have
to make some sacrifices. We can
not continue to support changes
for the other fellow and oppose
changes that effect us. We must
support whatever revision will
be in the best interest for our
country.
Mccormick revealed that LOG
organizations are opposed to one
or more of the remaining recon-
mendations of the Commissions.
In being opposed to one feature
they are adding their weight to
opposing adoption of the remain
ing 80 percent of the Report.
It's a point to think about.
Sincerely yours,
Dill artnff

Second, the islands best hotels in
most cases were not large enough
to house shipload of passengers

Third reason: You went by ship
or not at all, and the dovetailing
of sailing schedules required intri-
cate timing.
Frequent, 3-mile-a-minute plane
service to the islands has changed
the picture. A Washington trav-
eler can pull a midnight snack out
of the family refrigerator, board a
plane at National Airport and
have a late breakfast at Nassau's
British Colonial Hotel; or lunch
con at the plush Virgin Isle, on St.
Thomas; or afternoon tea at
