Graft in the Government service is the
theme OF the hour
Charges, or fraud. manipulation, and
misdoing in the Bureau of Crop Statis-
tics, initiated according TO the sensa-
tiona1 statement of Secretary Wilson
today. as a result of the quarrel CT TWO
gamblers over a woman, have developed
into a veritable anti-graft campaign,
which is reaching out Of many depart
ments and bureaus, bringing employees
and administrative officials alike within
the range of criticism and attack.
End Is Not Yet
Where the end will be is only con
jecturaE. There are ntimat tions that the
work of graft determination viii not be
complete until il shah have reached to
bureaus and departments as Yet not
publicly brought into tlae discussion.
Already there are charges enough
pending to keep the official and unof-
fetal investigators busy for long
time. Not only the Bureau of Crop Stat
istics, but now the Weather Bureau. the
Bureau OF Animal Industry. the Geo
logical Survey, the Fish Commission.
and the Public Printing Office are sub
ject TO allegations Of graft.
The charges against the crop bureau
have been thoroughly exploited for
weeks. 1t is now alleged that the
Weather Bureau has been guilty OF ex-
traYa gance in erecting its buildings at
Bluemont. Va, and that the entertain
ment OF weeks end parties at the Gov
ernment station has been carried on II
Government expense in a fashion decid-
ediy liable TO criticism
