Many Sleuths on Job
to Check Dealings
of New Deal.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE New Deal sees all. knows
all. It really makes business
of keeping track of what Is
i going on inside its own Or
ganization and elsewhere to a
far greater extent than any previous
administration.
Little is heard of the subject, except
occasionally when Mr.. Louis CLAWS,
head of the Interior Department in
telligence unit, involuntarily breaks
into print, yet an efficient general in
telligence system has been quietly per-
fected during the course of the past
two years.
You tUiH not find out about it
in Mondays budget message, list
ing Government expenditures. be-
cause intelligence activities are
not grouped. But q t0tr estimate
OF the situation, privately made,
indicates there are now about
22,500 persons on the Government
pay roll Uho could be cldssed as
slenthS.
Not all of them can be directly at
tributed to the New Deal. Probably
a majority of the sleuthing jobs were
instituted under other deals. but cer-
tainly substantial number of the
jobs are new.

Spending Is Chief Factor.

Spending Is Chief Factor.
The chief reason for the increase
in snoopers is that Uncle Sam is now
lending and giving away more money
than ever before. That process calls
for considerable watchfulness. Also,
the new deal exercises more super
vision over business through the N. r.
A, etc.
The chief increases after eliminat-
ing the alcohol tax unit because it
merely replaced the old Prohibition
Bureau) are in the PWA, MIRA, FCA
and AAA. The PWA staff, though
only 300, has been active against oil
code violators. racketeering contrac-
tors, dishonest of1icials, etc.
The N. r. A. field staff inresti-
gates complaints of code piolations,
but it is not particularly efficient.
Many complaints are referred to
code authorities, made up of the
business men complained against.
The farm credit administration in
vestigators look into land values on
which loans are sought. RFC ex-
amines check standing of firms seek
ing loans. The AAA field men watch
to see that farmers do not chisel on
the crop curtailment program Many
farmers are used on a part-time
basis for this work and their number
changes with the seasons. They are
not included in the table.
U. S. Scotland Yard Talked.
There has been considerable talk
about the Justice Department estab-
fishing an American Scotland Yard.
The truth is it already has more of
Scotland Yard than England has.
The staff of j. Edgar Hoover, chief
of the Bureau of Investigation, has
been quietly increased by 266 agents
and clerks in the past year (Decem-
ber to December). It now numbers
745 field men, agents and clerks. It
is not yet up to the increased strength
authorized by the last Congress, but
it soon will be.
The New Dealers also obtain copies
IN one way or another of certain con-
fidential material which Is sent out by
Washington news agencies. Recently,
at a private conference of top-notch
New Dealers, a warm discussion arose
over a new confidential letter being
sent out by national weekly maga-
zine
The New Dealers decided that the
confidential letter misrepreSented the
then current misunderstanding be-
tween Interior Secretary Ickes and
Houser Moffett. They suggested a
correction should be made, which
astonished the editors who do not yet
know how the New Dealers happened
to get copy of the letter in the first
place.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

AS you say, "She may be empty,

But when the sheet is printed and

On its way to the subscribers /

In the center of the front page, in
a most conspicuous place,
Some typographical error fairly
kicks you in the face.
For the typographical error is a
slippery thing and shy,
You can hunt It'll you are dizzy,
but it somehow will get by,
Till the forms are of the press it
is strange how still it keeps,
1t shrinks down into a corner and
it never stirs or peeps.
That typographical error too small
for human eyes.
Till the ink is on the paper, when
it grows to mountain size,
And you see that blasted error, far

Looming up in all its splendor, like
lighthouse in a fogl
That glazing blunder juts out like

Where it lodged the eagle vision
Of the mapping comma sleuth.

WORK FOR ALL
CAN BEFOUND,
SAYSHOPK|NS

Few industrial centers of the
United States, even under good
conditions, can provide employ
ment for all their population. A
decentralization of industry thus
becomes necessary.
These were the opinions ex-
pressed today by Harry L. Hop
kins, Federal Emergency Relief
Administrator, as a result of sur
veys which have been conducted
for the last 18 months, since
FERA was established.
Declining to specify any speci-
flc Industrial cities, Hopkins said:
'1n a big majority Of cases,
surveys reveal that the indus
tries cannot support the pOpu-
lation Of industrial centers, par.
tlcularly large cities" ~
"Our bad spots now are the
big cities, the industrial CEN
tiers, that is where the chief
demands for relief come from.
New York and Chicago alone
require Is per cent of the cOun-
try's entire relief load. We have
more than 100000 relief cases
in New York alone"
Under the work relief program.
however, projects can be found
which will provide employment,
he declared, and added:
There is no question that
the President can find projects
to make work for all the I'M
employed now on relief rolls"
Lack of money for materials
has proved handicap in carry
ing on some relief projects, he
admitted, but under the work
relief bill, if and when passed
by the Senate, funds can be al
located for providing the neces-
Sary materials. He explained:
Materials cost only Is per
cent of the total on work re-
lief projects. The balance goes
to labor. There are thousands
Of projects, many of them self.
Hquidating, that are justifi-
able"
Mr.. Hopkins estimated that
between 100000 and 100000
persons are on relief, of whom
about 100000 are workers.
