full, or faithlesS, to be supporting
the national nominee of the Re-
publican Party? Not in the least.
1t would be faithless and migrate
full not to do so. for he is reflect
ing the people in South Carolina
who gave him greatest office.
Apparently most of them are
for doing whatever needs to be
done to defeat the National
Democratic platform and the
candidate who sees it and raises
It several, the candidate whose

BabsOn Discusses Our Federal Debt

EN- Route Home, Oct. II - The
direct debt of our Federal Gov.
eminent today. for which govern
ment bonds or short-term bills
are issued, is approximately $24C
billion.
Government Bonds
This means that when you buy
a government bond as the best
possible security, you should rea-
LIE that many billions in these
bonds have been issued. They are
looked upon by banks, educa-
tlonal institutions, and other in
vestors like yourself as the SAT-
est place in which to have one S
money. but it is not generally
realized how many such bonds
are outstanding. 1t is as if you
were buying shares of stock in
a corporation and looked only at
the price without giving any at
tention to the number of shares
issued.
In addition to these bonds. the
government has also guaranteed
billions of dollars in other fiscal
obligations. These are known as
contingent liabilities" such as
the guaranteed home mortgages,
loans to farmers, aid to colleges,
hospital, veterans, etc. Although
the U. S. is the greatest country
in the world, it is very generous
and extravagant. Furthermore, if
we should 60 into a depression
the Federal Government would
take on some liabilities of states,
municipalities. farmers, veterans
and many business concerns in
order to prevent bankruptcies.
Good Investments
All of the money being spent
on ornaments is not spent on

anything he might do against us
would be done with a wink.
People just wouldn't believe it
when he signed up as second man
to Kennedy after the monstrous
platform had been adopted. His
signature has corrupted the whole
1860 campaign and. Of course,
has compounded corruption of
the johnson image. Even though
taking him as running mate rep
resented an enormous Would-be
concession to the South, it was
insulting its wrong presumption
that the Texan could hold the
South in line with its worst enc
mics.
BECAUSE LBJ SIGNED UP
both the Democrats and the Re
publicans are lmping.
The dominant leftists in the
Democratic camp make no bones
of feeling corrupted. Kennedy
never mentions Johnson's name.
T b dominant conservatives
and iddle-of-the-roaders in the
Republican camp feel equally
corrupted. They were forced to
the Rockefeller leftist deal when
johnson signing seemed to de-
stroy Nixon Southern hopes and
neceSSitate looking elsewhere.
And in both parties now the
thing has turned futile. Because
Of Johnson's inability to do what
he was taken on for hold the
South Kennedy has gone back
to more getting along without
the South than ever. and Nixon
has comeback to hoping for the
South and being his naturally
more conservative elf, Rockefel-
Ter or not.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
if LBJ had stuck to the South
and West and even in defeat had
refused to sign up with the enemy
and bring this all-around corrup-
ton? believe he would be domi-
mating the campaign now and
that it would be a true cam
paign between honest points of
view in the two parties. He would
be dominating without official po-
sition but as the man with the
balance of power, the man who
could not only hold the South but
direct it to decision between an
unblemished Kennedy and an IN
blemished Nixon. / believe he
would be riding dawn choo-
choo, rot midnight one. and
that he would be headed back to
his majority leadership in the
Senate under conditions that
would have him the biggest man
in the country, the true arbiter
of its destiny and way.
AS things are now, the sena-
tors choo-choo is bound for even
more midnight insofar as he per
sonally is concerned. If the Ken
nedy ticket wins johnson will
have no such place as Nixon.
He'll be a Throttlebottom in spite
of his abilities. Kennedy is too
far from him, Kennedy's friends
mistrust him too much. to let him
be a powerful vice president.

man apart, would ever have let

The opposition was expressed
Yesterday in a list of Fedora

Mr.. Spiess said the organiza-

cause it believes too few voters
would turn out for the special

the vote on the bonds to pay

been at the same time as the
November general election.
The Federation also passed a
