The Press: Puh-leeze, Senator!

Whenever Nevada’s Senator George Malone opens his mouth for a major speech anywhere in the U.S., Denver’s Post and Rocky Mountain News get long, 500-to 700-word Government-prepaid digests wired by the Senator himself. Last week the News, fed up, wired Malone: “Please include us no longer among those to receive telegrams of your speeches. We are interested in reducing waste in Government.”

The next day 500 of the Senator’s latest words clicked in from Newark, Ohio. Cried the News: “Puh-leeze, Senator! . . . Cut our name off your list and save the taxpayers a few dollars.”
