McGowan did was to put stop to promiscuous
letter writing The true bureaucrat dearly loves
to write letters. He thinks he is his best
when he is writing letters for the chief to sign
division heads debating many of the letters
which take the bureau chiefs signature. 1t graft
hes the soul OF the bureaucrat to grow arrogant
and sarcastic in such dictaton.
Nothing of that sort is tolerated by Admiral
MCGOWAN He insisted that letter writing be re-
duced to minimum and that nothing unkind or
contentious be put into letter, especially to
another coordinate bureau. After his first gen
eral remarks the subject he followed 1t up
with "intrabureau order" intrabureau orders

Always the bureau is in the market buying in
