It wa* a rt'tl pkruurr to akare with
you in ymttrthy'a imn* tmr retent photo
graph of the new bowling Unea in the
Memorial Student Canter When our pho-
tographer laid the picture oq the Manag
ing Editor's desk staff members quit
their typewriters for a better gander at
the neeulta The same happened when the
engraving for the presses was returned
faun the lab m Frwter Hall. Am k true
With a majority of students on the campus,
must of our staff members hadn t toured
the Center so the new lanes caused a lot
of favorable comment
We aaaioaaly look forward to the
Outer's openiag day. The sccdamabons
of approval motivated by the new bowling
lanes will probably he multiplied a thous
and fold because am ean assure you the
entire budding Is just as pleasing to the
eye as the sample in yesterday's (taper.
From time to tune. we’U give you more
{pictures of the new building mm a sort of
preview to opening day. When you have
I something as good as the MtjT promises^
te be, it's too good to hold off advance no
th*
An l nfamiliar Rut helromr Sentiment
We heartily agree with Governor Al
lan Shivers in his evaluation of (he begin
ning of a decent state tuwpital png ram as
the most significant step taken by hit ad-
imnistratkA. The Governor reviewed hw
year in office Monday in announcing h»a
platform for reelectior. The revamped
state hospital system was long overdue
and it is to the Governor's credit that he
took such an active (iart in aupporting it.
But together with the review of hia
administration and recognition of the need
for increased public service programs.
Governor Shivers sounded a note heard far
too seldom in present-day administration
Spanking of the rising coet of pnbiu
services, he said. “Our effort* te provide
more and more of these necessary sen ices
in the State of Texas must be tempered
with the sober realization that we must
not attempt more good than the state s
economy can bear
'The upward trend in state spending ”
the Governor continued, "must be checked
by a trend toward greater efficiency of
operation and that means greater econ
omy of operation in our state government.
The distinction must be made between
thoee things that are essentia) and those
merely desirable "
There are many who pay lip service to
such seotiiients But there all too few
who. like Governor Shivers, are willing to
me th<*« sentiment* expressed in action.
Hia creation of the 600-man Texas Econ
omy CommiMiofl n an indication of his
policies. Those others who neglect the
fundamentals of sound economy hold with
in their gltttenng promuses the level. We
must realize that we must pay for all we
receive,* Consistent overspending weak
ens any economy and the political body
that economy represents. Carried too far,
that body faces economic mm. We would
like to see such sentiments reflected in the
program of our federal government. There
is needed not only economy but a more
equitable balance of expenditures based
more qp need and less on votes.
Doesn't Anione Herr Like Oscar?
To readers of the Saturday Evening
Pint a story on tbs fnsit page* of Ties-
day’s newspajier* must have looked like
a congressional endorsement of Post polit
ical leanings The news story toM of a
stinging defeat fur the Truman sponsored
(dan for l new department of health edu
cation and security. The house voted
down the pro|iosal 249 to 71. Presumably
the new department, if approved, would
have been given to Oscar Ewing who now
heads the Federal Security Administra
tion.
The tie-m with the Saturday Evening
Post comes this way. In a recent issue
of the magazine there was an article en
titled The Man the Doctors Hate ’ Sub
ject for the st«»ry-- which was written as
though the Post sided with the doctors-
was Oscar Ewing, one of the admmistra-
tton ■ leading exponents of compulsory
health insurance.
The Pokt reviewed Ewing s career and
omphaaiied his un(x>pulanty with many
Waahuigton officials. Re|HihlH an and
Democratic . According to the magazine,
if Ewing’s name ia connected with a piece
of lagialaUoa it is d<x>med fur defeat That
Seen over the holiday weekend: hun
dreds of hungry, over-sleeping students
was the result of a pcevvios attempt to
create a Department of Welfare with Ew
ing as (Niasible head And, to the over
whelming tune of 249 to 71 that was the
latest rebuke for ths man labeled as the
"most taetisss man m Washington."
In addition to sponsoring compulsorv
health insurance. Ewing n pushing hard
for a big increase in Social Security bene
fits It was the FSA head who said for
the benefit of a radio audience that ex
pansion of the social security and inaug
uration of compulsory health insurance
might require a federal payroll tax of from
15 to IS percent exclusive of income tax
And he is also the man whom the Post
credit* with the admission that "politic*
is my kobby. and a more fascinating hob
by no man ever had."
Yesterday** news report said the de
feat of Truman s latast attempt to cre
ate a new Welfare Department wa* a
Mouse eapnesmor of lark of confidence in
Ewing. We hope such an interpretation
is true, but we also hope it » an expression
of rongreamonaJ lack of faith in socialized
medicine, the inevitable goal of the admin-
wtratioa’a present efforts
looking for a place to eat Nearly every
as ter y in College Station was closed.
