TOO MUCH Talk AND
TOO LITTLE WORK

TOO LITTLE WORK
Saturday afternoon, was sitting
briefly in the gallery of the U. S
Senate with Woodrow Edwards
and R. D. Owens, because they
wanted to see the senate proceed.
ings The gallery was full Of
people, great many of them from
conducted tours of sightseeing
parties, school-children and others
Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon
the distaff ex-republican VIII
turned Democrat because his party
nominated Eisenhower instead OF
his man, was the lone speaker. His
fellow were absent. There
might have being a dozen of the
Sc in the room from time to time
1 did see Olin Johnston of South
Carolina drift in and drift out, and
Lyndon johnson of Texas was there
briefly. But nobody paid any at
tention to Senator Morse.
Why was he talking? Merely ir
an attempt to waste the time OF
the Sentae so it could not adjourn
before Kruschev got here. Under
the strange rules of Government
he had right to speak intermin-
ably, although about nothing
Senator Morse was complaining
about giving the President toe
much authority. He was speaking
for the folks back home; to impress
the voters of Oregon that he is g
great man. Nobody in the Senate
was impressed.
They say old Kruschev has final.
ly landed his rocket on the moon
And so the American people fall
at his feet. What do we care il
he lands his whole nation on the
moon? 1t seems the important
thing for us to worry about is max
ing this nation happy and strong.
What disappointing world as
mankind wastes so much of its
time on words when what is needed
is work. The newspapers and the
air are full of words beamed most
ly toward building up a phony
prestige for( this man, or that
cause, to encourage acceptance by
the voters.
Vast fortunes are spent in brain
washing the American public to be-
tray itself in buying things il
doesn't need, into fawning over
phonies, fanatics, and fools on the
political scene and international
bandits from foreign lands. We are
brainwashed into believing it
wise to attempt to buy the friend
ship of the polyglot hordes of Asia.
Europe and Africa, by bleeding
America white, and handing our
treasure over to foreign politicians
whereby they stay in power and
the money never goes to aid those
for whom intended.
Why not let Russia have the
moon, and Wayne Morse too. If we
kept our money at home, we
wouldn't need to worry about
Russia, or any other nation. Until
the United States recognized them,
used its money to put them on their
feet, the Russians We're considered
the scum of the Universe, scorned
by Europe and recognized by us
against their protest. Like most OF
the unbathed scum of Europe which
we clasp to our bosom despite
their stink, and their treachery, the
Russians have violated every
pledge they made us, they have
killed our filters without reason, de-
stroyed American property without
recompense or apology, and our
President never gives US any ex-
PLANTATION for all this. The admin
stration never tells US about the
fate of all our men left to the tor
lures of the red Chinese.
Next we will be giving the Red
Chinese recognition-and money
At that, it wouldn't be much worse
than pouring out billions to sup
port Kai Schaick in luxury. The
administration of this old China
man was so corrupt that his
countrymen abandoned him and
embraced the Reds instead. Ap-
parently they believed there would
be more freedom under the Reds
than under Kai Schaick.
Kai Schaick of course had a
powerful ally in the Madame. Be
