criticism Of Army Secretary
Brucker over the stepped-up
riot training order which was
issued and then withdrawn at
the height Of the Little Rock
disorders.
Secretary Brucker has re-
rused to furnish Senator Byrd
details about issuance and
withdrawal Of the order.
That's q serious thing when
you issue, an order TO train
thousands Of men and refuse TO
give a Senator the details" said
Senator Byrd. X say we are
getting pretty close TO q die
tatorsnip." He added:
10 II possible the stepped up
order ma yhave been issued be-
fore Little Rock occurred, In
Edicatlng 1t was the intent Of the
Federal Government to bring
about integration by force"
He said when you start TO
train troops for indignation
riots. there is only one place
they would go-"down South. "
Senator Byrd read from an
editorial that appeared yester-
day In The Washington Eve
ming Star. describing Secretary
Brucker's refusal as IAN ex-
ceptionally high handed sup
preston Of facts which should
be made public"
Senator Byrd said he was
"angered and astonished"
when President Eisenhower sent
Federal troops into Little Rock.

that exists there. We learn that
10000 Americans and many de-
pendents of servicemen are sta
toned on that island already
crowded with Chinese National
list soldiers from the mainland
of Asia. The island is about one
third the size of Ohio and has
normal population of over 8
million which is about the pop
ulation of our state. The Ma
tionalists in exile there have in
creased it to 107 million. This
is a vast increase in the past few
years. Whether we need 10000
men to carry out our responsible
lities is q question receiving high
level study in the Pentagon.
We hear that because of low
native wages some Americans
assigned abroad live on a scale
far better than they are used to
at home. They can afford native
servants and sometimes occupy
near-palatial quarters. When
this happens it can often cause
trouble in local areas. The buy
ing power of our dollars can bid
up prices of local commodities
and difficulties occur.
If, in this period of peace, we
must station troops in other
counties, our purposes will be
better served if we are alert to
keep their numbers as small as
possible. Then, every effort
should be made first, to main
tain American standards for the
troops without encouraging them
to live on a level of oriental po-
tentates even if they can
afford it by local standards, and
secondly to conduct their affairs
in a manner which will not upset
the local economy.

Dear Editor:
After listening to President
EisenhoWer's two addresses last
week and last night, think that
we must take this attitude to-
ward the budget as whole: We
must appropriate money for the
foreign aid as he suggested, but
that leaves us tremendous
amount that could be cut out of
the budget and not impair in any
way our military establishment
from functioning normally and
our civilian set-up functioning
far better at the present time.
President Eisenhower stated
that all these bureaus the people
wanted set up would take the
exact amount that was listed in
the budget for each bureau, if
not more, but / do not remember
nor do / think you do at any
time or date that the people have
had chance to vote for these
bureaus. Under the present ex-
pansion plan each bureau is de-
manding more money than it
cost the entire government be-
fore the first world war. Practi-
cally all these bureaus were de-
manded by Roosevelt, Truman
and Eisenhower. The Senate and
the House voted to give the pow
er to set up these bureaus by the
present demand. The executive
branch of the government is now
all powerful. The government at
the present time controls all
banks in the United States, all
railroads, all telephone COM
munications and utilities, all
farmers, all natural gas, in fact,
controls every person in the
United States through taxation
or by some of these bureaus.
The government is in business

| prise, and at the present time
| they own 200 billion dollars

decision that FBI files, always
considered inviolate, must be
opened to criminals and SUBJ
versives if the government
wants to prosecute them. The
one dissenting justice said our
intelligence agencies, under
this outrageous ruling, might
as we'll "close up shop" or
provide criminals with
Roman holiday" in rummaging
through their files.
1t will be remembered that
the attack on the Supreme
Court in President Franklin D.
Roosevelt's day was for the
purpose of getting a court that
would legalize the immense
mass of unconstitutional legis-
lation passed in the early years
of his administration.
1t is, of course, difficult to
get rid of these two great evils
the income tax and the re-
volutionary Court. The federal
income tax can be repealed
only by a vote of three-fourths
of the States. The evils of the
Supreme Court can be ended
only by amendment to the
Constitution. Such an amend
ment could abolish the present
court and set up a new and
different tribunal whose pow
ers would be clearly defined
and limited to remain with the
Constitution.
Is this too difficult to
achieve? People said we would
never get rid of Prohibition.
But we did. And | suggest that,
bad as Prohibition was, the
income tax and our lawless SUI
preme Court are worse.

it is loaded with trouble. A
man in California applied for
license to practice law in that
state. The California Supreme
Court refused to admit him on
the ground that he had been
member of the Communist
Party. What could be more
reasonable? The Communist
Party is an organized con-
spiracy-supported by a for
eign country-to overthrow the
American Constitution and
government. There was a SINH
lar case in New Mexico. The
high court there refused a
license because the applicant
had been identified as men,
Der of the Communist Party.
Each of the men involved in
these two cases appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United
States. And that curious lri-
bunal repudiated the decisions
of the highest courts in each of
the states involved and held
that these two men must be
permitted to appear as counsel
in the courts of California and
New Mexico. There was a faint
glimmer of light in the fact
that in the California case
three of the justices dissented.

competing with private enter
prise could be sold and the
money paid on the national debt
and, as the Hoover Committee
reported on budgeting and ac-
counting, 4 billion could be
saved. If some of these bureaus
were cut out, the government
could function a great deal
better. The Hoover Committee
also stated that if our military
was put on a sound business
basis we could easily save 2 bill
lion there and have a much
greater and more powerful
military force.
My fellow Americans what
are you going to do about this?
Continue down the road to
socialism or communism, which
will destroy all incentive for ac-
complishment under our demo-
cratic form of government of free
enterprise? America has become

tory. but if we stop fighting now
people will be willing to try
again. We cannot have total
security, freedom and liberty
with the government looking
after us from the cradle to, the
grave, as for me, as Patrick
Henry said, GIVE ME LIBERTY
OR GIVE ME DEATH. This
should be our password as we
fight to throw off the yoke of
government control over us, and
demand that the government
adhere strictly to the Constitu-
ton, the Bill of Rights, and the
American Creed. Your Congress

encroachment of the Executive
