FORMER POSTAL
CHIEF RETURNS
MISSING FILES
Air Mail Letters Reported
Burned Are Given to
James Farley.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Mys-
teriously missing official records OF
the poStofice department, once
thought burned, were available to
senate ocean and air nail contract
investigators today after their sud-
den return by former Postmaster
General Walter F. Brown.
Mr.. Brown, political leader Of the
Hoover administration, personally
delivered the two fat files 20 the
office of Postmaster General James
Farley late yesterday and left them
with the implication that they had
been placed in his baggage by
character aSSaSinS,"
None was present to describe the
meeting of the two political chief
tains, victor and vanquished, which
official Washington regarded with
interest because the senate inquiry
into the awarding of mail contract
subsidies is widely regarded as an
inquiry into the Hoover admins
tration by Democratic leaders.
Burned Letters ''ValueIess"
Disappearance of the papers was
described recently at tense hear
ing before the senate committee.
Employees of the poStoffice depart
ment told how on the eve OF the
Democratic regime, they had been
instructed to burn bags full OF
papers taken from Mr.. Browns
| files.
The papers which were destroyed,
Mr.. Brown explained in letter to
Mr.. Farley accompanying the files,
we're only those having no per-
manent interest or value" The
work was supervised by employees in
his office, Mr.. Brown said, under
explicit instructions" not to disturb
any official papers.
Senator Hugo L. Black (Dem.,
Ala.). indicated that he regarded the
return of the papers as unimportant
and that he still regarded significant
w the fact that many papers from
the former postmaster generals files
had been destroyed.
Nevertheless, he instructed his in
vestigators to search the returned
records for a letter allegedly sent to
Mr.. Brown by william B. Robertson
in which he claimed to have offered
to carry out an air mail contract at
40 cents a mile. The successful bid
der received almost double this
amount.

reaching Calcutta today from the
devastated state of Bengal, indi-
cate that the recent earthquake may
have caused one of the most stu
pendous human tragedies of modern
times, with perhaps 10000 persons
dead in the ruined cities.
Refugees reported an estimated
toll on Monghyr of between 5000
and 5000. An unofficial estimate in
the province of Behar showed $4,000
dead. Damage, according to off,
Gals, will amount to at least $751;
100000.
For three successive days ana
nights bodies of the dead have been
thrown into the river Gauges, to
float down to the sea in grewsome
hundreds.

temblor receded, leaving behind

to have been sunk five feet below

But a financial reward for a po-
litical favor is distinctly something
else.
The Borah bill would assess a
$4,000 fine against any congress-

men from practicing before the de-
partments, but they may accept

Brown said.
There remains only the other
theory, to-wit, that these official files
were surreptitiously placed among

POLITICO-LECAL
FIGHT STRIKES
AT CONGRESS
House Cleaning Must Begin
at Home; Move May
Affect Farley.

BY United Prcss
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Con-
gress must outlaw its own politico-
b legalists II it aims legislation at
national committeeman who prac-
tice law and politics in the capital,
it appeared today after three days
hot discussion Of the subject.
Since President Roosevelt unex-
pectedly slammed the White House
door in the faces Of layer national
committeeman there have been sew
eral interesting developments.
/. PoStmaSter-G General James A.
Farley is secure in his Democratic
national committee Craftsmanship,
but probably will resign within
year If a qualified successor can be
found.
Vandenberg Introduces Bill
2. Senator Arthur r. Vanden-
berg rep, MichJ introduced a bill
10 forbid national committeeman
from the practice of saW before gov
eminent departments and TO sepa-
rate federal office from party Of
flee so far as possible-the latter
provision might hit Mr.. Farley.
3. Dusty on the shelves of the
senate was discovered a bill by
Senator William E. Borah Rep.,
IdahO), which would forbid con-
gressmen and senators to appear in
trial courts in many instances.
Mr.. Vandenberg's bill is aimed as
much at lobbying as at the more
formal practice Of lawyers before
government departments.
It would forbid national COM
mitteemen from attempting to in
fiuence directly or indirectly the
action Of any department or other
agency Of government. Committee
men of both parties would be
affected.
Political Rewards UnquestiOned
In an authoritative dNcussion of
the subject here it was rather
definitely indicated that the Demo-
cratic attitude would be if Mr..
Vandenberg pressed his bill. If the
line between desirable and undesira-
bic practices is to be drawn by
legislation rather than by ethics
and morals, there are those who
feel that the legislation should en-
brace all federal employees.
Many congressman are conceded
to be receiving rewards for political
influence in the board and proper
sense Of the term. That is, they
receive political reward-perhaps
re-election-for performing favors.
None here questions the legitimacy
OF political reward Of that kind.
