WILLIAM- J. STEWAP.T Reelected

tcamiing—CooL-Head*— To the Editor of The Recorder: - S i r : In reference to your recent editorial entitled, "Time for Cool Heads" your paper's original story concerning the Mojud-Chalmers transaction was certainly a study in "coolheadedriess." Rather than a complete, factjual, forthright ac­count of the sale and its impact on local economy, it was written with unalarming casualness.

It is therefore incongruous that you should editorialize against Congressman Samuel Stratton, who has raised his voice in right­eous protest as any truly con­cerned person might. If Mr. Strat­ton committeed an error in judg­ment it was understandably so. but his intentions and dedicated concern in "championing our cause" are unmistakable and should be lauded.

It might be good for The Re­corder to withhold criticism of Congressman Stratton, whose phe­nomenal popularity is not unfound­ed, and concern itself with_some public-spirited crusading of its own. I trust you will receive this letter in the same mutual friend­ly spirit it is written.
