Mendel Rivers of South Carolina, who figured prominently in the volt against President Truman in the 1948 election. However, Truman rolled out the welcome mat for the silver-maned South Carolinian the other day as though he were a long-separated fraternity brother. The story behind the unusual meeting is that the President wanted Rivers support for the 18-year-old draft bill.

However, after a brief reference to the legislation, the two antagonists spent the rest of their meeting assuring each other that there were no "hard feelings' between them. "If you are a big enough man to invite me down here, I'm big enough to accept the invitation, Mr. President," grinned Rivers. "In fact, it's a pleasure to accept."

Washington is swarming with "bees" seek ing to extract "honey" from the enormous defense program. This could multiply the RFC story. But the task is not merely for government; it is for everv individual. Senator Fulbright declares there is a double standard of morality for public office and private life it does seem that many individuals consider cheating the government a fair game. Scores of postal clerks have been charged with payroll frauds in Boston.

The vein of greed runs just as deep outside officialdom. Businessmen corrupt politicians as often as vice versa Thousands of false claims are made for unemployment relief. The gambling which supports a nationwide chain of crime depends on millions who either think they are indulging in a harmless pleasure or don't care. Fortunately, evil destroys itself.
