their support" Further, says the
editorial, "he is a coddler of Com
munists as typified by his filibuster
and vote against the Communist
bill of 1850 which passed by an
overwhelming majority. Most of
all he is a self-Seeker, setting his
course where he thinks it might
prove advantageous to Estes Ke-
fauver. He has built his record with
cold calculation as to its meaning
in terms of his personal ambition
rather than according to principle.
He has reversed the honorable
dictum that it is better to be right
than to be president"
These are harsh words, indeed,
but they do give some indication of
how Senator Kefauver stands at
home and of what help he could be
in swinging the once solidly South
ern Democratic State of Tennessee
back to its Democratic moorings
But, if the good Adlai wins in the
convention, Mr.. Kefauver unques-
tionably is the logical choice for
second place.

ing, housing, recreation, education,
travel and so on.
The annual carrying charges on
this debt currently approximate
S6.4 billion, sufficient to double
present Federal old-age and sur
vivors insurance payments, or
enough to pay all state eXpendi-
lures for education, health and hos
pital services for given year.
These interest charges do not re-
duce the Federal debt by one cent,
but only serve to add to the heavy
burden imposed upon the Ameri-
can taxpayer
This overwhelming debt threatens
the economic solvency of the
United States. 1t is problem of
serious magnitude requiring the
concerted attention of all Ameri-
cans. No longer can we expect that
the future will take care of itself
in this matter. Now is the time for
action.

is that the Tennessee candidate he
has now abandoned his coonskin
cap because friends told him 1T
was undignified") would snap at
the second place The big question
is how much strength, if any, would
he give to the Democratic ticket?
Certainly, he is not one of the best
members of the Senate. But, then,
neither is he one of the worst. For
example, almost any observer would
rank him ahead of the garrulous
and blatant Senator Hubert Hum
phrey, of Minnesota, or the dema-
gogic breast-beater Senator Kerr,
of Oklahoma. He makes a good,
strong, partisan speech and would
be an Improvement over Senator
Sparkman, of Alabama, Mr.. Steven
sons running mate in the last cam
paign.
However, the yardstick by which
vice presidential candidate is
usually measured is his ability to
carry at least his own state-par-
ticularly if it is a doubtful state.
Normally Tennessee is heavily
Democratic. But in 1852 Mr.. EiSen-
hover carried it by $500 votes.
Normally, Senator Fefauver as vice
presidential nominee should be
able to bring the State back to the
Democratic party. But the sad truth
is that Senator Kefauver is in
trouble in his own State as shown
by the following extracts from
recent editorial in one of the States
leading newspapers, the Chatta-
nooga 'News-Free Press" Usual
ly," says this hometown paper of
the Senator's, "a state is proud
when one of its citizens becomes
a serious contender for the nations
highest elective office. But Ten
nesseeanS have no justification for
pride in Senator Kefauver's ma
tional ascendancy. For he has gain
ed his prominence by deserting his
State and the South to join the
extreme left-wing element of the
North which has dedicated itself
to the imposition of outright So
cialism upon America and Federal
dictation upon the South"
The editorial continues: What
is Senator Kefauver besides a COON
skin cap and a ballyhooed heckler
of racketeers? He is an advocate
of desegregation to court leftist
Northern votes and he aspires to
inflict upon the nation more Tru-
manism. He is a rubber-stamp pup
pet of the political labor bosses eX-
cusing their tyranny in hope of
The Republican., 1956-01-26

The national debt now stands at an
all-time high-a staggering $780,,
769,000,000 Even during the years
of World War II, the Federal debt
never exceeded S278.7 billion.
1t is difficult to visualize just
how much is S281 billion. Some idea
may be given by the following COM
parisons: $281 billion is nearly as
much as the total personal income
received by all Americans in wages
and salaries, professional and busi-
ness income, all farm income, all
incomes from stock ownership and
other forms of property plus all
payments made by the government
at all levels to individuals in 1854
281 billion one dollar bills stretched
end-to-end would cover distance
of 26609,857 miles-enough to en-
circle the globe 1864 times. S281
billion would have paid the cost of
operating the Federal Government
from 1889 to 1943-144 years. To-
day, this amount would pay Gov
ernment expenses for about A
years.
In terms of what this will buy
for the American consumer: 1t will
pay for the nations grocery bill
for years and 10 months; or, it
will provide an II year supply of
clothing for everyone; or, it will
furnish comfortable $4,000 home
for IA million families, about 80
percent of all American families.
1t will provide every family with
electricity, gas, water, fuel and
other household necessities for 8
years, or it will pay the doctor,
dentist and other medical expenses
for % years. The amount owed on
the public debt is more than the
total spending (237 billion) of the
American consumer in 1854 for all
items of eXpenditure-food, cloth
