has so thoroughly rocked this country as the graft revelations. And, according to reports on the contents of Congressional mail from the folks back home, nothing has so shocked and revolted the people.
Democratic party chairman McKinney recently said that he is sure the scandals will not be an issue of the 1952 campaign, on the grounds that the President and other Democrats are handling the situation, and will clean everything up neatly in short order. This in the view of most observers, is whistling in the dark with a ven-> geance. The graft has been going on too long and too many people in key administration jobs are directly or indirectly involved. On top of that, it was a junior Re- * publican senator, Williams of Delaware, who cracked open the tax frauds and has seen to it that the investigations kept going. And it is an interesting fact that some Democrats iwho have done valiant work on behalf of high ethical standards in government—such as (Senators KeFauver and Douglas— are persona non grata at the White House.
The reaction of the American grass roots press to the scandals has been one of anger. As \ general rule, the editorial attitude has been “turn the rascals out.”
