A LETTER FROM BILL LANTAFF

Dear Neighbor:
A South Floridian wrote me re-
Gently that during discussion Of
politics with his neighbors the
conversation centered around do
nations to the major political par
ties for the national campaigns.
He wrote, Someone maintained
there would be huge amounts do
mated to both parties. Is there any
ceiling as to the amount a person
can give to a party for the nation
al campaign? Is there a record
kept Of these donations?"
In answer to this gentleman /
recited the Hatch Act, enacted in
1889 and amended several times
since, limits to $4,000 the amount
an individual can give to any one
candidate or national committee.
However. there's no provision in
the act to limit the number of
these separate $1,000 donations one
person can make, and no restrict
ions on the size of contributions
to local political committees.

SOUTH KOREANS DELIVER

Recently, South Korean troops were given an i'm

Allied lines backward In the Communist offensves of
1851 the South Koreans usually the first troops to
be broken by the impact of the Communist attack and
several occasions Americans had to be rushed into the
lines to fill the gaps where South Korean troops fled in
panic.
The picture in 1852 seems to be bit different South
Korean troops thrown into the battle, distinguished them
selves and charged the enemy with fury which clearly
demonstrated their will to fight their aggressveness
IN view Of the statement by General Dwight D. Eisenhow

belief that the South Korean divisions were at least

In this connection, is interesting to note that most

OF the country Thus the human from which

North Koreans draw

situation takes hopeful aspect While the South

ington news bureau revealed that
during the 1850 election year the

Who Has Adopted Herr
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor. The Citizen:
My guess is that the writer OF
the letter in The Citize nsigned
IAN Adopted Conch, is a woman,
and that she wrote lopsidedly to
try to hide her identity. Every
thing she said in the letter she
harped on in a conversation with
me. Further, it was easy to de-
termine, Judging by soem words
she let slip unwittingly, she is a
Republican, registered as Demo.
crat.
She should not be ashamed to
tell the world she is Republican.
That is her privilege, and it would
be wrong, as we'll as foolish, to
critizise her for exercising it. But
why hide in a wood pile when es-
pousing the Republican cause?
1t is her right to come out boldly
for Eisenhower as it is for any
one else to come out boldly for
Stevenson.
But censure Is justified in the
case of a e-straddler, such as
Smathers, or a man who crawlS
into a hole and keeps mum, such
as Holland.
Smathers viii be back in 1856
telling Floridians what a good
Democrat he is, and Holland will
be back two years later telling
them what a good Democrat he
is.
Did you hear what ice Presi-
dent Barkley said in a speech
about Senator Byrd Of irginia?
That punch in the midriff applies
also to Smathers and Holland. Bar
kley said Byrd reminds him of a
man who deserts a wife who has
been faithful to him for many long
years.
Byrd has deserted the Democra-
tic party that has been faithful to
him since his early manhood. And
he deserted it just because he
could not have his own way about
every plank in the Democratic
platform. His desertion is scoffing
at majority rule. which, many a
time, he has extolled as the cor
nerstone of our democracy. Now
he seowls and sulks because that
rule does not conform with his
pet obsession
But back to The Citizen letter.
Why didn't IAN Adopted Conch"
tell us who adopted her?
