Tapped Wire Never Clicks
Hysteria over the practice usual
ly exceeds the extent to which 1t
is used. Frequently one hears that
my wire is tapped" because clicks
sound during conversations.
Fact is, almost any government
switchboard has two or more posi-
lions and operators at the other
positions make the click when they
plug in and find the line busy. Cor
so I'm told).
Congressman John Rankin of
Mississippi, in the heat of the
holding company bill fight, assert
ed belief his wire was tapped,
because he "heard clicks" But
much weight must be given to the
word of Louis r. CLAWS, famous
chief of the Ickles PWA-Interior
investigative force, who recently
remarked in private conversation:
"A tapped wire never clicks!"
How u. S. Job Is Landed
Gradual release of 400 MIRA
workers adds to an estimated
(probably too high) 10000 persons
who are said to be wandering
around town looking for govern
ment jobs.
Most Of the 1000 are likely to
''land." Lots of people are being
hired by various agencies, espe-
cially those engaged on work-re-
lief, without any very careful Sc
lection or knowledge of who they
are.
Mr.. Bob Mccormick, who covers
federal employee news for the
Washington Daily News and gets
inside all the departments and
bureaus, gives a correct tip-off on
how jobs are obtained in Wash
ington, as follows:
"In the first place, you must
work from the inside Out of
every 100 emergency employees be-
ing taken on these days, 80 have
friends already installed.
Congressional Endorsements are
worth while only when obtained
from someone in The Hill who has
a stand-in with the agency in
question. A pal, though he be but
an office boy, can do wonders in
opening the gates If he is in suffi-
GENTLY good standing with the men
above.
cabinet members can. of course,
get almost anything they wish,
even jobs. They are most wary
about exerting their infiuense, how
ever. and usually confine it strict
ly to their friends and friends of
their friends.
"Once in a blue moon, some
freak Of luck breaks this estab-
lished routine, and q person with
out special influence finds himself
at work, but invariably in a low
grade position"

Spy Hysteria Gets Grip on

HOltFinds :. How to Land
Job with Federal Agency
Is Revealed.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Democrats Washington Corre-
spondent)
washington, July 10--Along with
the big increase In number of
federal employees, official spy SER
vices have grown in number and
personnel.
It would be easy to overdraw
the picture and point. to Washing
ton as a city of ogpus and chekas.
But is would be fairer to point out
that there are various spots where
officials, speaking confidentially, do
so only in low voices and never
over the telephone.
Nearly ell the old line depart
ments and most of the new agen-
cies have their own investigative
or intelligence stats, with gum
shoe men working more or less
under cover. There's informal CO.
ordination among them.
Many in the heterogeneous New
Deal army have found it's better
to speak with care, even when
away from the office. Higher-ups
like to be kept advised Of the gos-
concerns themselves.
The way it works out, for ex-
ample, might be that If a works
progress subordinate were over
heard remarking that Harry Hop
kins himself ought to be out rak-
ing leaves, the words might be re-
layed to the head of quite another
agency, which would, as a matter
of routine, pass them along to
Harry's outfit.
Moral: Be Honest
Officials sometimes find them
selves followed or their files
searched. If they're honest, they're
likely to be philosophical about it.
Net results of the spy work are a
diminished number Of leaks, which
New Dealers are usually jittery
about, considerable resentment, and
revelation Of occasional cases of
dishonesty.
At one time or another, whole
agencies have developed phobias as
to wire tapping. Individual tele-
phone extensions have been tapped

One day, when Mrs. Longears

in the place where Uncle Wiggily

Uncle Wiggily looked up from his

he twinkled his pink nose at her.
"Come in. Mrs, Longears,' he
invited politely.
Wiggy, what are you making?"
she asked when she had hoped in

SCOUTING COMING BACK

Reports of fine progress in Boy Scout
work in Imperial county are encourag-
ing to those who recognize in the Scout
movement one of the essentials for the
good of youths in this community.
For the past two or three years Scout
ing has been at low ebb The courage
Ct some of the youngsters in clinging to
Scouting despite the lack of interest
shown in it by their elders has been her.
oic as we'll as pathetic. The youngsters
wanted it so much and were willing to do
sc much in order to retain the benefits
they had received from the organization
and extend them to others.
During the past winter Scouting has
taken on new lease of life. With an
active Scout executive. enthusiastic in
bringing back Scouting in Imperial Val
ley, and with the support of community
leaders, the organization is on the way
to reach, and we hope surpass, the strong
hold it formerly had in the valley.
We have said here before and it is
worth repeating, that no community
needs Scouting more than Imperial Val
ley does. Our youngsters here are de-
prived of many of the advantages young
sters in other parts of the country enjoy
and which their own dads enjoyed as
boys. There is no opportunity for the
wholesome recreation of the "old SWIM
ming hole" the skating pond, the sliding
hill, SNOWFALL fights, gathering nuts and
numerous other diversions which are rec
ognized as natural rights to be enjoyed
BY boys.
Scouting cannot entirely replace these
things, but it can at least give the boy
desirable substitute and accompanying
the opportunity for recreation is the
finest training for the development of
character and the making of future good
citizens
Scouting keeps boys out of mischief
and serious trouble by giving them the
chance to eXpend their natural energies
in legitimate manner. From this
standpoint alone, even though it be self
iSh adult one, it is worth while. But men
must love boys, for they themselves were
once boys. This should prompt them to
give the boys of today square deal and
the best method of accomplishing that is
by supporting the Scout movement so
that it shall be here the strong organiza-
tion it deserves to be, as we'll as an IAN
chor to the windward' for our young
sters.
Douglas Fairbanks was included
among the 10 biggest bores, in vote by
