Rep. Ellsworth Hits Democratic Policies
(Continued from page 1)
If he didn't know this, how many other things has he not known about in his two years as congressman?"
Speaking softly but forcefully, Mr. Ellsworth then turned his attack on the Democratic party.
"I feel very strongly that it is time to stop playing petty politics with our military and economic strength as has been done in the past," he said.
"FOR EXAMPLE, the Democrat have been crying for years about defense. In every off-election year since 1955 they have cut the proposed defense budget but in election years they have added to it All told, there has been a $1.3 billion net cut since 1955.

poor. Two-thirds of them earn $50 or less per month. Compare this with the cost of living. The cheapest suit costs $70 women's shoes $35 and a second-hand cloth coat $65.
"And 50 per cent of the population are on the collective farms. This cripples industry so that there are less workers and therefore less production."
THE GROUP was in Russia for six weeks after the U-2 incident; at the time the government's "Hate America" campaign was the strongest.
"We were surprised to see this campaign had no response from the people at all. After inquiring about this from several authorities the answer seemed to be that as backward as they seem, conditions have improved, and the people relate the improvement of the standard of living since Stalin's death to peaceful relations with the West."
Mr. Ellsworth concluded his address by saving:
"In a generation or two we will have peace and order under tyranny, or peace and order under freedom as we have known it. It all depends on our course of action right now."

Typist Shortage Hampers KU
Famine amidst plenty besets Charles A. Harkness, KU personnel officer. Specifically, it's a dearth of persons skilled in shorthand.
"For a month we've not been able to fill one secretary position, and by November five more vacancies will occur." Harkness said.
The acute shortage of skilled secretaries exists despite a more than adequate pool of typists and other office workers produced by the growing population of Lawrence and nearly 2,000 student wives.
