In another column the GLOBE has made
brief reference to Sixth Auditor Castles
department touching hagrant case of i'm.
morality on the part Of one Of his clerks,
who is for the present nameless.
The following cases of nepotism in this
depaumentare given merely as illustrations
of the conditions which prevail i'm every
department of the government at Wash.
ington.
The GLOBE as stated Is preparing full
list which will not be ready for publication
until Congress returns after the Christmas
holiday recess Therefore the few sample
cases given here and from department
where half a dozen more exists are simply
for the guidance of Congressman and to
whet their expectations when tn full list
Is published They viii then, perhaps. be
able TO discover what helpless lot they are
in the matter of boosting anybody into a
