Red Cross Urges
Citizens To Save
Help Hungry Folk
Americans would never let :i
Ipiext door neighbor starve or
turn away a hungry child from
the door. We would gladly give
up some of our own food rather
than see anyone starve.
Our neighbors overseas are
hungry. They haven't enough to
eat, anil we have plenty. (We're
eating more now than we did in
the god days before the war).
While it's a little more difficult
to make ourselves do something
£h-.mt the hungry people we don't
~ee, we can ar.d must share with
them the food from our bulging
larder.
Freedom from want is a cor-
nerstone on which we are en-
deavoring to rebuild the postwar
world. In all conscience, there-
fore, we cannot ignore tiie
prayer of millions: "(live us this
day or daily bread!"

Probe Palo Duro
Park Question
AUSTIN —(UP) — According
to the executive secretary of the j
parks board, no notice has l>een
received at his office concerning
the foreclosure on the deeds of
trust outstanding against Palo
Duro Park near Amarilio.
And l.ee indignantly ' denies
that the park is treated like a
step-child in order that tourists
will go to other places.
Instead of having $27,(KK) in-
come from the park, he says rec-
ords show a net of little more
than $2000 for the first fiscal
year, and some $1,500 for the pre-
ceding year. None of the re-
ceipts Lee says has, been used in
exploiting other parks.
The former executive secre-
tary of the board says the )>oard
would have bought ihe park if it
could have secured anything
like the terms for Rig Mend Park
—which was brought at $2.(K) an
acre.
Returning Vets
Boost Census
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
return of the boys front overseas
has put the census bureau in an
optimistic mood.
The- people concerned with
counting American noses are
; figuring on a "baby booin," and
the adding machines in their
crystal ball indicate the popula-
tion will zoom to a new high of
114,700,000 by 1950

Too Bad, Can't Read
DURA NT, Okla. (UP)—Proud
roosters in Durant, Okla., must
have a political bloc organized.
So far, late sleepers have been
unable to put a stop to the early

can't read an ordinance.

Blanton, Candidate
For Congress, Tells
Issues of Platform
William W. Blanton, candi-
date for Congress, 17th Congres-
sional District, has asked the
Sweetwater Reporter to issue
the following statement:
To the People of the 17th Con-
gressional District:
"The next Congress, in which
I hope to represent you, will
have before it two matters of
such great importance as to ov-
ershadow all others One will fie
the problem of how to avoid an-
other war. The other will be the
great over-all issue as to whether
we will keep or surrender our
personal freedom. Each of these
matters involves concrete issues
upon which no candidate for
Congress should be allowed to re-
main silent or to play both sides.
PEACE OB WAR
"I believe there would have
been no World War I and no
World War II, if the United
States had lieen prepared for
them. I believe that disarmament
and unpreparedness by the Unit-
ed States will be the surest in-
vitation to World War III, and
that if we are caught unprepared
again in an atomic age it will be
our tinish. 1 believe that our
only SURE way to prevent war
is to be prepared for it:
"I am for the American Le-
gion plan for compulsory mili-
tary training.
"I am for ending the un-
American caste system, as
the greatest cause of poor
morale, poor discipline and
poor living conditions among
enlisted men, and as the
greatest obstacle in the way
of voluntary enlistment.
"I am for ending waste, idle-
ness and social pursuits as out-
standing characteristics of our
armed forces.
"1 am ior showing no mercy in
getting rid of weak ig-
norant, lazy, stupid, corrupt, or
unpatriotic officers, especially
senior officers possessing one or
more of those qualities.
"I am for giving the armed
forces what they need to do
their job, and for constant vigil-
ance lo see to it that they are
the up-to-date, hard-working
fighting machine we are paying
for and must have.
FREEDOM OR OPPRESSION
"Our personal freedom is
today threatened by a vast
federal bureaucracy, which
has saddled itself upon us,
and seeks to perpetuate and
extend Itself at our expense
and to control us at. every
turn.
"It is also threatened by the
dictatorial labor union, which
has left its role of protecting the
weak from the strong, and has
become the exploiter and oppres-
sor of all.
"1 hold personal freedom to be

Bolivia Imposes
Censorship Upon
Press Dispatches
LA PAZ (UP) — Censorship
has been established on the dig*
patches of foreign and local cor-
respondents In Bolivia. The mea-
sure follows an officils announ-
cement that a counter-revolu-
tionary plot had been discovered
and frustrated.
The ministry of interior says
that congressional elections will
be held next Sunday as schedu-
led. The communique adds that
the revolutionary plotters were
interested in preventing the elec-
tion but "the coup has been frus-
trated."
The situation in La Paz is
I outwardly normal. All stores
and shops are open, but troops

arbitrary power of man over
man to be the greatest political
evil:
FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY
"I am for radical reduction of
the oppressive federal bureau-
cracy and its powers.
"I am against paying slick ras-
cals big salaries to come down
here from New York and tell us
what to do.
"I am against bureau-made
law.
"1 am against kangaroo admin-
istrative tribunals.
"I am against government in-
terference with business except
to prevent monopolies and cor-
rupt practices which are beyond
control of the States.
"I am against their plan
to take eight percent, of our
earnings and to make us put
our name on the sick book
and stand in line to wait for
whatever doctor they want
us to have when we get sick.
"I am against the bid for fed-
eral control of our schools, using
federal aid to education as a
bait.
LABOR UNIONS
"I am for the repeal of the
National Labor Relations Act,
which has put the working man
and the whole country at the
mercy of a handful of profes-
sional union racketeers, whose
lust for power knows no bounds.
"I am against the closed shop,
as a denial of the fundamental
American freedom to work, and
as an instrument of oppression
in the hands of the unscrupul-
ous.
"I am against picketing for the
same reason.
"I am for requiring strict ac-
counting for union funds.
