So I noticed another difference in the source files. In the rexx code, the say begins in cc1 and the literal is in cc4, in the C code the printf begins in cc2 and the literal begins in cc10. So I tried moving my SAY statements over one cc at a time. Once I got the literal beginning in cc8 - the tabs went away. So "the" is inserting tabs for some other language formatting.
