Funds, RuscuIs, etc.
Though In the matter of expense
funds the recipient may get no direct
financial aid, such funds cannot but
help his private financial position to
some degree in that he win be freed from
certain border-line expenses which he
will otherwise, particularly If he is q
hard and enthusiastic worker, shoulder
himself. Be that as it may, it does not
seem likely that any balanced, intelli-
gent man would accept an expense fund
in itself and without other emoluments
for dishonorable activities which, If ex-
posed, would probably ruin his career.
The chances are that Senator Nixon
accepted his expense fund in good faith
as an aid in his fight on communism.
II such Is the case, those who choke with
anger or glee over the small financial
aid his fund has given him are straining
at gnats while their neighbors and quite
possibly friends and associates habitu-
ally swallow camels with relish.

In Senator Nixon's. recent speech
there were several points which gave
impressions Of things other than the way
they are.
It was stated that, II have lust
$4,000 in life insurance plus my CT
policy. which have never been able
to convert. and which will run out in
two years" Congress has. in reality au-
thorized renewal every five successive
years Of insurance. Senator Nixon should
know this fact, as well as does every
GI who carries the same type Of in
surance. CT policies have been renewed
ever since World War I. BY making such
statements, Senator Nixon has confused
many CT policyholders.

out" Now it's throw the rascals in"

Mr.. Nixon's shining example and the
public's hunger for renewal Of pa
triotiSm serve as a miracle drug and
overcome our acceptance Of dirty messes.

In setting forth his earnings and his
present assets, it appears that in the
six years Nixon has served in Congress
he is approximately $40, 900 better OF. In
view Of his oft-repeated statements that
his salary is insufficient to cover his
expenses. this seems to be rather q neat
trick.

The only fault that can be attributed
to Senator Nixon seems to be that he
Is too honest to conform to the standard
OF ethics used by radical Democrats. II
he had been typical Fair Deal Senator,
ne would have used his franking privilege
to shift to the taxpayers the cost Of
printing and mailing out his political
speeches to his constituents. He would
have had his wife on the Senate payroll
to supplement his personal income. And
he would have disguised his political
trips as inspection" trips so that these
could have been charged to Government
expense.
Henry c. Parker.
My heartfelt sympathy went out to
Mrs. Nixon who sat there like q statue,
never moving a muscle in her face and
looking directly at her husband who was
using his family to protect him but
never once thinking about other families
whom he couldn't resist bringing into
this show. A simple. humble. straight
forward speech about his expenditures
and the money received would have
brought more admiration for Senator
Nixon.

Yes, we have the corrupt" in both
parties but it is time to distinguish be-
tween material and spiritual "corrup-
tion". It is time to examine the real
issues in foreign and domestic policies;
the voting records Of the incumbents;
the records Of the parties on these
issues and the characters and the state
mentS of those aspiring to elective
offices. We can't afford to make mis-
takes in this election In selecting policy
or personnel and it Is time that the
people of this country had their faith
in their elective system and elected
officials restored and the wolf-cryers OF
communists in government" either
should present their evidence to Fed
eral grand jury for action or shut up IN
the interests Of the country which they
claim to love and the Government which
they have sworn to defend and to
protect.
Lillian M. McNish.
Republicans have chosen to drama
tie the courage displayed by Senator
Nixon in his radio and television ap-
peal. To me, the brand Of courage
demonstrated was the kind you ind in
man when he is trapped In burning
building. He'll risk dash through
wall Of fire because 1t is the only way
out and he has absolutely nothing to
lose. Independent Voter.
