Reed Hurls New Blast At Docking i plant he started a few years ago, is not even operating today as a manufacturing concern. Another case of amnesia, pure and simple." Docking brought up the matter of home-town industry at Wichita by noting that Parsons, Reed's hometown had lost a large number of jobs through transfer of some of the Katy Railroad's facilities from Parsons to Texas. Reed said "amnesia has figured in the public utterances of the governor from the time Jimmy Hoffa's $3,500 campaign contribution was revealed." "First, the governor couldn't remember about the $3,500," Reed said. "He knew nothing about it, he said.

Then he assumed the money was accepted for his campaign in 1956. And, then finally, reluctant admission. A clear case of amnesia, if ever there was one in Kansas politics." Reed described Hoffa, head of the teamsters union, "as a maa vrhose name and activities are a stench in the nostrils of all decent Americans."

pm- lessor who recently returned fromit 33-day tour of Russia, was the featured apeaker it 35th charter anniversary dinner of the Emporia Xlwanis Club Tuesday evening.

Q. level in most European countries for college entrance is about 120, he said. The Emporian, along with 24 other educators, analyzed Russians schools from kindergarten to university and interviewed hundreds of people in the process. The Americans were allowed to go where they pleased and when they pleased, with few restrictions. Other Russian matters discussed by Dr.

Huff included the scarcity of Christian worship, the service of women as ditch diggers and bricklayers, the overcrowded housing and the food served to them. Special guests of the Kiwan- ians at the dinner at the Broadview hotel were their wives.

Emporla, Kansas, Wednesday, October 22, 1958 "No" Votes in Hospitals Strong Finish from County museum, for another useful purpose." "Isn't this poll a little late to get a true expression of public opinion, since the wheels have already been set in motion to obtain the property at Seventh and Merchant." "Why express an opinion on th( subject when The Gazette informs Emporia the federal, government has begun condemnation proceedings in the Topeka Federal Court to obtain the necessary property?" Comments in favor of keeping the old building on its present site included: "The greatest enemy of this country is inflation, and loose government spending its gratest ally. Surely the needs of the postal department can be met with far less expenditure." "Don't pull another courthouse deal. A beautiful building, but in the wrong setting, so let's keep our present post office where it is." "We have enough room for one mail delivery a day, and the increased postage will lessen that. Do away with the large packages of parcel post, which is in favor of merchants." "Let's get our- government back into the hands of the people, and let's try and get out of the habit of wrecking and tearing down perfectly good and properties just for the fun of spending nearly a million dollars of the taxpayer's hard-earned money to build new ones with.

If a new post office is finally built, it should be put nearer the Santa Fe and the farther away." "I am never in favor of the careless expenditure of money. There are many worthier projects if the government has the money to spend. There is an even more urgent need to save money where possible." we need is to work over the building we have." "It is time to slow down some on spending money. I am against the Seventh Avenue location as it would make traffic too corigeted. The high school traffic, plus the Merchant Street traffic would be much more than we now have at the present location.

"I do not like the site." Persons who have not returned their cards are urged to do so as soon as possible. The Gazette will conclude its poll on the post office this weekend, and will announce the final tabulation next Monday. Emporio.
