GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES
Cabinet Called Upon to Aid
Attack; Hurley to Be
First Witness

The already insecure posi-
tion of many Federal employees
was further jeopardized today
when Representative Joseph
W. Byrns, chairman of the
House Economy Committee de-
manded the cooperation of
Cabinet officials in plans for
reorganization. At the same
time several members of the
House Civil Service Commit
tee indicated they would favor
curtailment.
Charges Army Lobby
Secretary of War Hurley who
refused to testify before a Sen.
ate committee and the House
Expenditures Committee, will be
the first Cabinet member called.
Byrns said.
Hurley's denial that members
of his department were lobbying
against consolidation of the
Army and Navy was answered
by Byrns who said that officers
of the War Department had been
button-holing members of Con-
gress, fighting economy plans.
Representative William I. Siro-
vich, of New York, ranking Dem
ocrat, declared he favored uni
fication of the Army and Navy
and thought that "swivel-chair
operators and bench warmers"
should be eliminated from Gov.
ernment agencies.
Byrns declared that his economy
committee would hold secret hear
ings on Federal berths. as it was
anxious to avoid "backfire"
from Government departments
which may suffer at its hands.
Hoover Again Raped
Speaker John N. Garner added
fuel to the economy issue between
Congress and President Hoover by
saying Democratic leaders were
forced to take matters in their
own hands. He explained:
"The President said at the
opening of Congress that he
would submit a message on re-
organization of the Government.
After nearly two months he
sends q message asking dicta-
tOrial authority and creating
some new offices. We were
forced to take prompt action"
Representative Mapes, one Of
the Republican leaders, intro
duced a series Of bills in which
Cabinet officers, instead of the
President, would be given broad
authority to reorganize their de-
partmentS,

Japanese have not forsworn their
Oriental traditions; the friends of
China will tell you, with adequate
proof, that the Japanese have drawn
on China for the best of their litera-
ture and social customs, and it is
known that to write in Chinese char
acters was, until recently, the mark
of a civilized japanese.

1t is, no doubt, the Chinese influ-
ence which causes the Japanese to go
into an election at this time on an
issue of moral depravity." Do not
too hastily assume that they are dis
cussing the absorption of Manchuria

Those who feel that American politics lacks reality
that there is little to choose between the two great par
ties will many advantages in the Japanese system
If our President had chosen sdes might go into
conventions and polling places the issue between Mrs
Gam and Mrs. Longworth The Democrats might have
accused Mr.. Hoover of preudcing the future of the
United States by giving Premier Laval the second best
bedroom at the White House, condemned him for not
having resigned when his FRIEND prosperity failed to
show up at the end of her sxtyday rendezvous. The
of Vice President Curtis, the clothes worn by
former Secretary Mellon and the grammar of number
of Senators might all be issues in the campaign.
