Washington, November at is only
natural that on the eve of a presi-
Dental campaign that political groups
should propose another orgy of con-
gressional investigation. There is a
possibility that the demand for in
quiries into the Executive Branch of
the government may be boomerang
resulting in similar Investigations in
to the activities of legislators. The
congressional investigators put them
selves in the spotlight as CONSCIENTIOUS
guardians of the peoples rights, but
quickly run for cover whenever it is
proposed to subject their affairs to
similar scrutiny.
1t is chronic with Congress to COM
plain of high-handed methods of gov
ornamental departments, but overlook
ing their own transgressions. The
contention is advanced that perhaps
the most glaring instance of bungling
politics is afforded in the relations
of congressman with the Veterans
Bureau. Watching little episodes,
one cannot escape the conclusion that
in their selfish quest for political
credit some congressman are paving
the way for tragedy. Washington OBJ
servers know that the Veterans Blu
reau, one of the newest of Federal
agencies, is subjected to more pres
sure from legislative quarters than
any other agency.
1t is said that Veterans Bureau of
ficials are becoming greatly dis
couraged from the travesty of admin
istration when dealing with the con-
gressional cases. The claim is made
that officials of the Bureau, inspired
by pressure from members of Con-
gress, are constantly forced to recon
slider" adverse decisions for applica-
lions for insurance, etc. In instances
where government physicians have
agreed that the applicants physical.
disabilities were such that he could
not be insured even on a policy more
panies, legislators have insisted that
the doctors decision should be over
ruled and the claim allowed.
If that were the end of the matter
the agitation against such practice
would not be so pronounced. How
ever, the tragic feature comes when
the insured passes away and the wi
dow and orphans file their claim for
compensation. Here another branch
of government, the all-powerful Comp
troller General of the United States,

PINE CITY WINS IN
FOOTBALL WITH MORA
Final Score Was IL to 6.-Played
at Mora Before 500 Fans
Grantsburg Plays at Pine City
Friday.

By staging an unexpected come
back last Friday afternoon, the Pine
City high school football team de-
feated Mora by score of IL to 6.
The game was played at Mora, on a
rough field and before a crowd of
about five hundred fans. The game
opened with Mora a decided favorite
to win and with the first opening
plays they broke through the Pine
City line very easily, going down the
field for touchdown within few
minutes.
The Pine City, team began to hold,
however, and were soon taking the
offensive. The first half ended to
0 in favor of Mora. In the second
half the Pine City backs began to
drive through for long gains, and
soon pushed across two touchdowns
for a score of IL points. Mora was
unable to score and the game ended
IL to in favor of Pine City. Walter
Blanchard was the greatest ground
gamer for Pine City, making both
of the scores. Friday afternoon, Nov.
4, Grantsburg high school comes to
Pine City for a game and may be ex-
pected to give the locals a hard
battle.
