Farmer, businessman, 'housewife

all probably will be confronted soon
with a new issue which is being developed
in secret Washington hearings.
The issue is how many millions
the nation"* taxpayers (and that in
eludes everybody) are willing to
spend to let government employees
tell the public what a good Jib the
government U doing.
In recent years there has been,
much general discussion about how
many press agents there are working
for the government bureaus, issuing
statements and press releases
designed to win publts support
forthese bureaus. Some legislators *
apparently have awakened to tho
question.
