Congressicnal Flying Saucers Congressman Mel Price of East St. Louis, Ill, recently acted as a committee of one from House Arm- ed Services in badgering the A Force into an investigation of fly- ing saucers. Later Rep. Frank Karsten of St. Louis, Mo., hailed his friend from East’' St. Louis, Ill, and asked: “Now, tell me, as friend to friend, what do you think of flying sau- cers Price gave him the official Air Force reply. “There is absolutely nothing to them,” he said. “They are caused by retina retention, mistaken identity, a mild form of mass hysteria and Jjust plain hoaxes.” “You're wrong,” replicd Karsten indignantly. “There are too flying saucers.” “How do you?” bristled Price. ‘Triumphantly replied the Con- gressman from St. Louis, Mo, to the Congressman from East St. Louis m.: “I saw one.” Senator Byrd vs. Farmer Byrd Harry Byrd, the Dixiecrat Sen- ator who make political capital preaching economy, and Harry Byrd, the prosperous Virginia apple grower, should get acquainted. In a recent speech, Senator B; attacked the school-lunch program School lunches, he said, are items “the parents should pay for. It would cost only 20 to cent a day.” But Farmer Byrd made no hue and cry when the commodity credit corporation bought 32,376 bushels o1 school-lunch apples in Frederick County, Virginia, where the Byrd apple farms are located.

As we have no one to look to for support, its obvious that if that pattern does to us what it is doing | to Great Britain, we shall fall. The only reason Great Britain does nol fall is that the United States mak- |es up the deficit. Says Taft: “While conditions in England are not entirely the same and undoubt- edly the British have a less favor- iable economic basis on which to work, still it seems fair to assume that if we copy the British i al of their policies we are likely to reach the same kind of siate cf ec- onomic morass and regimentation which they had attainci prior to the recent election. That morass cannof, he cleared up for a I time, éven if*Yttire el8ctions ‘o pletely repudiate the Socialist pro- gram.” It would serve no purpose for me to go on paraphrasing Senator Taft’s article as I have not enough space. Let this gist of it suffice and now you are on ycur own. Senator Bridges, of couvrse, 1s dealing with the current scandsl in the State Department, but he lays down a broader base than has yet appeared, and establishes beyond doubt the fact that the Bi- partisan Foreign Policy is dead. For in fhis important address, he asks questions tha- have heretotore been suppressed. It is astonishing thal this ma- jor state document, affecting our basic relationships with all the world, infinitely more impertant :in its political potentials than much that appears in the press, was ccantily reported. The “New York Times,” the news- paper of record, had it on the front page under this heading: “‘Get Acheson’ drive opened by Bridges” Cempany, biggest in the nation, won't represent it in future contract aegotiations with John L.

The resolution is clear; the con- duct of the committee is also clear. Senator Bridges then asks a long series of very important guestions.
