THE VETERANS BONUS ISSUE.

problem continues to stand before the people OF
North Carolina to whether the people shall vote on the
Veterans Bonus issue question has been put to the
candidates for Governor Candidate Umbsead says Il I'M
dersand it would about 200 million dollars to finance
bonus for veterans at this time At time when need
funds for schools, hospitals and roads, could not
conscientously recommend bonus now.
Candidate Olive says "Who of us can deny the right
of the people to vote any question? The right OF refer
endum and petition of the conersones of state
and Federal constitutions . The veterans asking
the state to vote on whether wishes to pay bonus
think they have earned the right ANYBODY mas
to submit the question to the people of our state My
point that if the veterans want to present the proposal
to the people of state certainly stand up for their
And that is the point this editor would make Also We
believe in the right of the people to vote on any great and
dous group people favor it. We do not think the people
should be denied the right to themselves on issues
any than they should be denied the right TO vote on
their public officials AEI$
This is question which has nothing to do with what
YOU or we think about it. We may approve dsapprove
the issue which is also right If not in justice then in
courtesy it to the Veterans If we owe nothing to
the Veterans then to whom would we owe any6mng we
fend country time of need Few others lost anything
by of war We may hold as precept that it is
try But it is also obligation upon all that we not per-
NIT group to rich while another group being
sacrificed every time country becomes mpered through
the bombasc demagoguery of stupid Senators and self
appointed leaders. HI htf
We say let the people rule They have the right
everything that vitality concerns them But let not
have small minority of office holders denying the entire
state e al ae r never e1 nf fall TO
mention being veteran they are one We notice they
talk about being Sunday School teachers and brethren Of
the secret word of club memberships and farm activities
We can't the good in corrang all the votes that follow

Veterans Bonus any other bonus The farmers get bon
for crops they don't grow for produce they don't SELL
eminent compensation the legislature of North Carolina
doesn't have the to face the issue let have the
some ambitious politicians to have the final say and give

the past several years, in fact since
the GAO peak workload of World
War II, Warren-absolutely with
out congressional prodding-each
year has trimmed down his own
agency budget and personnel re-
quirements. From a top of $4,000
GAO employees about five years
ago, he has reduced his staff to a
level of $500.
His performance within his own
agency and his efforts to keep
others in line naturally bring
praise from Congress. Only the
other day, Representative Albert
Thomas, Democrat, of Texas,
chairman of the subcommittee on
Independent Office Appropria-
lions, said that "Warren is per-
forming a difficult task with cour-
age and ability and the American
people are fortunate in having such
a capable leader to keep check on
Federal expenditures and to see to
it that appropriations are expend-
ed in accordance with law"
Congress is Lindsay Warren's
boss. Only Congress-and not the
President-has the right to remove
him from office, and then only
through impeachment. War; en-
himself served eight terms in Con-
gress as Democratic Representa-
tive from North Carolina. A native
of Washington, N. c., Warren
represented in Congress the hardy
Carolinians from the region around
stormy Cape Hatteras and Roanoke
Island, the site of the first and ill
fated English settlement in the
United States.
Congress welcomes Warren's
periodic reports and personal testi-
mony before its committees. It's
members follow up frequently his
reports of malfeasance in Govern
ment. But Congress so far has
not seen fit to follow up on his
recommendations, designed to get
at the causes of the troubles Mr..
Morris had come to town to wrestle
with.

the Dare request for building
funds lis purely ministerial and
under law involves no exercise
of judgment" it said. The State
Board had no choice but to ap-
prove the request, it contended,
since the full responsibility for
the Dare school system rests up
on the shoulder of the County
board.
The Dare Board asked an in

training officers or employees for
the Government. He undoubtedly
would include West Point and An
napolis.
Warren's particular aversion has
been, and is, the cost-plus-fixed-
fee contract. This he calls ''the
greatest device ever invented for
pumping out the Treasury"
He has assailed the poor ac-
counting practices of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. and many
other agencies. In last years hub
bub over the RFC, in was forgot
ten that back in 1916 Warren said
that the agency's bookkeeping was
so muddled that it had lost audit
control of about So billion.
Taxes Butylene Plant
And not long ago, Warren told
Congress abiut the RIGS fumbling
a Texas butylene plant transaction
at great expense to the taxpayers.
The RFC built the plant in 1914 at
cost of So million. A couple of
years ago the RFC accepted a bid
of $756,000 and transferred the
plant to private ownership. Then,
within few months, the RFC
leased the planT back again for
100000 a year and spent $2.5
million rehabilitating the estab-
lishment, which is still privately
owned.
His postwar assaults on mislead-
inr accounting of the old United
States Maritime Commission led
to its adjustment. Recent disclo-
sures of fraud in grain storage for
the Agriculture Department re-
suited from Warren's reports chal-
longing the accuracy of official
bookkeeping.
Warren's caustic language
makes his reports, written or oral,
rather lively. A book publisher, w.
w. Norton, impressed with the
Controller Generals choice of
words as well as his zeal in pro-
tecting the public purse, wrote
Warren two years ago and asked
him to write a book abuot his work
in behalf of the taxpayers. War
rem took the somewhat unusual
position-for a man in high Fed
eral office these days, at least
that it would not be fitting and
proper for him to write a book a.
bout his public duties while he was
still performing them.
This refreshing attitude stimu-
lated the publisher more than ever,
who then gathered all of Warren's
reports to Congress and started
looking around for an author to
write about waste in the Govern
ment and what is and is not being
done about it. Publisher Norton
selected Blair Bolles to write the
book, which, under the title of |
How to Get Rich in Washington"
is fast becoming a local best seller. |
Publisher and author alike credit |
Warren as being the man who in
spirsd the book-not by getting
rich but in doing his best to keep
others from getting rich at Govern
ment expense.
Practices What He breaches

careless or fraudulent spenders of |

Lunch Convoy

Any visitor to Milford High
School December 8, would have
seen a strange sight-students ac-
tually walking, walking, mind you,
to lunch. What Occasioned this
strange sight?
1t would seem that students had
been running to lunch, instead Of
walking, causing much consequent
distress to the Faculty. Because of
this, students must now be CONVOY
ed to lunch by teachers. 1t must
be said, however, that lunch period
is now much safer. even if more
boring. The present system is to
continue indefinitely.
