STANTON After a suitable period of mourning ' may be able to get some work done around this office. We sorrow to day, however. No one feels like working. We've lost a friend and playmate. It all started Monday when a bedraggled, shivering, woolly puppy adopted The. New Rei irv: Bewildered, wet and hungry, he slipped into our front office and proceeded to search out every office worker with a friendly greeting. The survey completed, he picked a comfortable spot while the office gals deserted their desks to feed him warm milk. Warmed and fed, he became playful, wrecked a half dozen pairs of nylons, then sought out the sports depart ment in the news room and made himself at home. Refusing to be ignored, the gals lined a shallow box, which the puppy agreed to accept as a bed after it Mad been moved into the sports corner. There he slept most of the day, rallying occasionally to romp briefly, prefer ring tn nip ankles and shoestrings. After a near battle, one of the gal? won the right to take him home overnight for a warm bath and a solid meal. But the next morning spirits were dashed when contact finally was made with the distraught owner. In the short apace of time before the owner arrived, the waif received more petting and pampering. Sadness fell upon the office when he finally was taken away.

Yet otirifc; chief interest was in the welfare of a little, bewildered iir friendly animal. Perhaps if some of our enemies could better understand this characteristic of the American people, we wouldn't be having so much trouble in the world. Americans are soft-hearted. A stray kitten or puppv is seldom neglected.' once its plight ii discovered. Amer ican soldiers share their rations with orphans. G. I. s make friends wherever they go. t We are not a warlike people. We would rather help than hurt. We are Inherently generous. We are kind to children, pets, the aged, the infirm, the unfortunates. We join lodges and wear symbolic hats and aprons that' we may dig into our pockets to help sick and crippled chil dren. We maintain facilities for the underprivileged. We rally to the assistance of neighbors in times of emergency. We win wars, then spend millions tn aid in restoration of property we have destroyed. We neglect our work to fee.l and play with an unfortunate lost puppy while historic events are in the making. Probably our enemies are the same kind of people. Maybe they too like kiddies and puppies. Maybe thev are tenderhearted like ourselves. Wouldn't this be a wonderful world if international lead ers exploited the good instead of the evil of our national characteristics? -s r ". pi vmnam wawMW mtamsmma taxuBBcman).' gxmtmem swammm rwaww mseomm giffliw pmmm- t r imniiiniiM imitihihh f t. u. 3 &9 'y'.y -wmmm warn In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS (Continued From Page One) line revi ves.

Y. - P - The state board of canvassers has cer lilied that Democrat Ernest Green, wood defeated Republican incum bent W. Kingsland Macy by 125 votes in the first congressional dis Irict. The action cleared the way for the seating of Greenwood in tha 82nd Congress. The official canvass gave Green wood a total of 74,183 Democratic voles and 2.192 Liberal party votes, for a total of 76,375.

He wants Cannon to forget it. This fiscal procedure luinid together, inio one huge appropria t'on bill, all the federal spending approved by Congress. It was designed as an aid to both the President and Congress The idea, in simple form, was lo lix un a plan so that total federal pending could be compared rad Py with total federal incom" If the contemplated outgo was more than the contemplated income, Congress was supposed to trim 'he outgo the .spending or at least know where lo cut if so inclined. Since the President's adminhtra tbn has been in the hole liscslly every year since Mr. Truman took over, except during the Republican fcoih Congress, a comparison of outgo to income has usually shown tu his disadvantage Now he wants to dump the om nibus form of bill, and scatter :ed- cral spending totals all over 'he place in a dncn different appro priations, as was done prior to 1949. Then it required a staff of romp tometer operators six months to calculate the total cost of running the government. In actual prac tice, in fact, it was at least a yar later before Congress caught up with what various spending hills p mounted to. By then, of cou-se, lr bureaucrats were back with the dipper demanding another bucket of tax money. Without the omn'bus appropri ations bill the administration can juggle funds, hide appropria''ons and confuse congressmen who haven't got the time or tha inclin ation to add up the total annual spending. It is obvious why Mr. Tru.nan wants the omnibus bill ditched now. He is already sending to Congress demands for federal funds that will eventually tela! more than $75,000,000,000 for the fiscal year. Of this, $8,800,000,000 is going to be for arming the North Atlantic pact nations. Only $5,500, 000,000 of this sum is for 'he weapons: the remainder Is hidden money for foodstuff, raw mater ials, and non-defense machinery, principally lor the British. This, as is obvious here, explains why flie Britisn government stepped up recently md said it had no further reed for ECA funds. I point this out as only one example of how non-defense spend ing ran be camouflaged bv the sieppcd-up demand for tax dn'.'ars ps a result of the war threat, 'there are others. Federal deficits are political haz ards. Senator Harry F. Byrd. Vir ginia Democrat, recently sent the President a letter in which he pointed out that unless Mr. Tru man trimmed non-defense spend ing demands, the deficit would reach $25,JO0.OO0.u0O For his pnins Byrd was notified, via a presiden ts! press conference, that in the President's opinion the senator knew less than nothing about budg ets. Although a life-long fiscal ex pert, Byrd replied simply by point ing to the figures: estimated tax income for 1951 $51,100,000,000. Ertimated Truman budget d e mands: $75,000,000,000. The omnibus bill mav have its faults, but with it nobody, lea t of all Senator Byrd. is fooled anout where the money is going. Can non, likewise, is a wise fiscal owl nd a tough political infighter. The I omnibus bill is his pet. As a compromise between the President and Congress there is already talk of a double appronri- I alions bill. This, in effect, might I even be tetfer than the omninus bill. One appropriation total would set forth all the spending for purely defense projects; the other wjuld set forth spending for governmen tal business as usual. This way ve could nail the fiee spenders in Ih; bureaucratic jungle and mavbe save a buck or two. GOT A KICK?
