The report, which is signed by

ans organization in the District
scores the Department of Justice
for it's report embarrassing
Carter without ascertaining facts
from the standpoint Of the EN-
ployes of the office. A fund has
been raised to wage a nationa
fight and to carry it into the courts
II necessary, it is stated.
THE veterans joint COMMITTEES
was unable to understand how 4
thorough investigation could have
possibly been conducted and a fail
decision rendered thereon in the alb
sence of any interview with o.
entertainment Of facts from the dis
charged veterans" 1t is stated iT
the report.
Naturally we are compelled =
assume that the investigation Was
limited entirely to ascertaining thu
reasons assigned by the publ!t
printer. The futility and worthless
ress of an ex parte investigation al
tar as justice and fairness are con
Cerned is too apparent for argu
inent."
+ Claim Answer Scrambled"
The committee declares that Car
ter, in an attempt "to confuse and
confound the charges and issues in
volved" las scrambled" his answer
10 complaints.
1t is further charged that Car
ter has refused to interview EN-
ployes having legitimate grievances
and that when the complaints be
came public he also excluded him
self from the representatives of the
press"
Numerous instances, direct and
yelled, are contained in his answer
to the effect that if he has done
wrong his justification lies in the
fact that his accusers are more
wrong" the committee reported.
