Potential candidates already mentioned are nearly as numerous as tho gas wells in Ye county. The Turner administration, for instance, is giving tacit support io least three of its stalwarts for governor. Jim Arrington, the affable state Democratic chairman from Stillwater; Johnston Murray, secretary of the state school land com' mission, and H. E.

Bailey, tho SLOOO-a-month hghway director, reportedly are receiving encouragement. Murray is the son of former Gov. W. H. Murray.

Arrington fcoMs no administration post but was handpiclced by Gov. Roy J. Turner for the party toga and thus is in lino for any windfall of political support the state's, chief can give. There also will be a number of private citizens running with private backing. Turner cannot suc- iced himself so tho race for gov- emor will be "wide open.

Sensible enough to look at the thing squarely, she sought for other means to achieve her end.

The end was a man. love, romance. The other means presented.theifc selves in the form of books, learning how to put yourself across when you weren't particularly attractive; resorting to devices and technique that good looking girls didn't have to employ. The results were exceedingly gratifying. Even now, at the age of 22, tbe man of titer dreams was practically 1 with- In her grasp.

Give her another month, two at the most, and he would speak the words (hat would make her happiness and triumph complete. The man's name was Glen Lamphier. He was one of those fine, good looking, upstanding specimens of young manhood. Intelligent, gracious, and with a promising career ahead of him. The type who appealed by exerting only a minimum of effort.

Vida had aimed high when selecting him as the object of her acquired charms, but the thought of failure had never once entered her head. She had aroused his interest by heeding the dictates of her heroines. And Glen had seen the light. He had come to realize that behind the plain features of this girl were quality, intelligence, breeding. In a word, Vida had been successful in her to a point.

Unhappily, it appeared now as if that point might prove stumbling block, an unsurmountable Coming into the living room one evening she found him waiting for her, comfortably ensconced beforq- the fireplace, a volume of Oscar Wiltte open his lap.

Suddenly she realized that something' had happened, that she was losing her hold, that Glen's interest was on the wane.

The thought made Vida unhappy. WEEK LATER, sitting before the living room Vida abandoned seeking an answer to her problem and, for lack of something better to do, picked up the copy of Oscar Wilde and opened it.

Vida stood up, and there was a wild look in her eyes. Glen had read that paragraph. He had checked it with his pencil.

He had remembered that her faith in books, in the printed word was profound made her way to the book case behind the fireplace. Her eyes scanned the volumes contained therein. She removed a copy of O'Brien's short stories, leafed it through, found the passage she sought, and underscored it heavily. Glen called an hour later. If he was annoyed at the long interval in the living room before Vida's appearance, he did not betray that fact.

Instead, he seemed deeply interested in reading a paragraph from a volume of O'Brien's short stories, which he found lying upon the table. He read it through twice before Vida's voice disturbed him. He was glad she had come. He welcomed her eagerly. He had something to say, something that could not wait.

He said it incoherently, babblingly, but plain enough for Vida to understand and nod'her head in acquiescence Released by WNU Featurct Nobody 's Our only living ex-president gladly accepted the job of guiding the "task force" of experts through some 19 months of detailed investigation. Mr. Hoover has played well the role of public servant in past crises. This time he accepted the task as chairman of the Commission, believing it to be his last opportunity for important public service. At this 18 "task force" reports have been sent to Congress, Only the final summary report remains to be made.

The" the Commission is so important that it must be placed politics. Like Mr. Hoover says, it's nobody's fault that our government has got itself all tied up in knots, with inefficiency the general rule. Government "just growed" that way; Topsy-like. It is definitely not a political, not a party, question.

Support Needed Every one of us will be to blame, though, it we fail to get squarely behind both President Truman and the Congress and stay there pushing until this Sob of reorganization is done. The tendency, naturally, is to let It go. Yet, right now, when the nation is faced with such tremendous expenditure 's of public money at home and abroad, lt is downright foolish not to practice economy. Estimates show that recommendations of the Hoover Commission would mean a yearly taxpayers of more tiwin 3 billion dollars. I feel confident the savings could be larger than that.

If real efficiency and economy is to become of the federal government, the people will have to support it, Way to Survival Time is running short. Our sprawling bureaucracy will not of itself change its habits Instead, if left alone to grow, expand, and mushroom as it will, our flnanciul burdens will never cease. The latest report of the Hoover Commission deals with government agencies that are engaged in business enterpriser. It catalogs more than 100 concerns of substantial size that are owned or controlled by the government. Large sums could be saved, according to the Commission, by cutting this number by almost one-third.

It is evident that unless we do put our government house in order, there is, no way for this republic to survive, As burdens of supporting huge and wasteful government grow in magnitude, we endanger the whole financial structure of the nation. Moreover, with continued growth of big government, we can arrive at state socialism some day without ever having voted for it.
