The Colgate Comedy Hour has
been one of television's long es-

has suffered badly this year in
competition with Ed Sullivan's

part is that it'll

commit itself all the way to pro-
ducing a regular show (unless Dis-

amount will use some of its own

actors and actresses, and feature

San Jacinto Day
The Senate last Thursday took
notice of San Jacinto Day. In
speeches on the floor of the Sen-
ate, great honors were paid to Gen-
eral Sam Houston and his gallant
band of Texans who won Texas
independence in one of the most
decisive battles in history.
Of particular interest was the
statement by Senator Martin of
¡Pennsylvania concerning Sam
¡Houston. He. said: "The account of
his life is one of the great stories
,in American History, and I think
that (his body and other legisla-
tive bodies of America should fre-
quently call the attention of our
people to the great exploits of
which he was a part. They show
how America was made. In order
Cong. John Dowdy
Discusses Gov't,
inventory System
My dear friends:
A commission which had been
created for the purpose of investi-
gating the manner of disposal of
government surplus has made its
report to Congress. It shows that
the government could s a v e bil-
lions of dollars by better use of
its inventories, and by improving
its method of surplus disposal.
The report states that the United
States has materials scattered all
over the world, to the value of
$155 billion, not including stock
piled materials, crop surpluses,
nor public lands. It gives illustra-1
tions of one department buying
at contract prices large quantities
of items which another depart- i
ment, at the same time, is selling!
as surplus, at give-away prices,1
and reports a reluctance of one
agency to use the surplus of an-
other agency, instead of duplicate-
buying.
It is recommended that a com-i
píete inventory of government sur-
pluses be established, so as to
eliminate this useless and waste-
ful duplicate purchasing, such as
where one military depot bought
a 128 year supply of a single item.
I hope that this is done, so that
one department will not he dis-
posing of tilings that could he used
by another. Each year, the govern-
ment disposes of surpluses worth
S2 billion, for which it receives
between 5'* and 7'; of its cost
value. 11' only one more penny
were received on each dollar oí
the cost, the taxpayers would lien-
to retain the liberties which men «'''I ,() "u> extent of $20 million
like Sam Houston attained for us,
each generation must recapture,
and fight for them."
Loyalty Day May 1
Congress has officially declared
May 1st to be "Loyalty Day." The
writer had the honor of sponsor-
ing this legislation in the Senate,
and the House passed a companion
per year, so you can see how
wasteful the present procedure is.
and how much could be saved by
as much use as possible of the ma-
terials, thus likely getting a bet-
ter price for the portion that does
have to be sold.
