mel which organized and devel.
oped the Aeronautics Branch to
the high point of efficiency it
had attained when Secretary
Roper became responsible for its
administration.
Early in February of this year
a new series of diSmiSSalS from
the AeronauticS Branch was or.
dered in what is designed to be
a final drive. The objective Of
this latest drive is to get rid Of
every competent member Of the
Aeronautics Branch who does
not owe his appointment to the
approval of the political incom-
petent whom Secretary Roper
permits to supervise this vital
Federal agency set up to safe.
guard the lives of all American
pilots and their passengers.
When this political incom-
petent undertakes to justify the
disruption of the Aeronautics
Branch by himself and his fell
loW-political racketeers he does
so on this wise:
That the New Deal means to
him a new dispensing of Federal
offices under which the ms"
will be thrown out and the outs
will get their jobs.
The fact that this is the only
Interpretation of the New Deal
under which a man so lacking
in any qualification to super.
wise so important an agency
could ever have received the
appointment which he now
holds apparently has quickened
his zeal to make this kind Of
a raw deal general throughout
the Aeronautics Branch.
RESPONSIBILITY
If the political racketeering,
which has Well-nigh wrecked
the aeronautics branch, involved
only postmasterships, collector
ships and the like it would be
bad enough, but it would not
put in jeopardy the lives of all
Americans who fly as pilots or
passengers.
But wrecking the Aeronautics
Branch by political racketeer-
ing is not merely in complete
conflict with the high ideals Of
public administration to which
the leadership Of the President
is pledged, it is highly danger
Gus to every pilot who flies the
colors or the mails and to their
every passenger.
Secretary Roper cannot es-
cape the blame for this condi-
ton of affairs in the Aeronau-
tics Branch today because he
cannot delegate to the political
incompetent, whom he has de"
Signated to supervise the Aero
nautics Branch, the single re-
sponsibility which is his under
the law to regulate in the public
interest and for the public
safety all commercial aviation.

When fond recollection presents them to view!
The orchard the meadow, the deep-tanged wildwood,
And every loved spot which my infancy knew!
The widespreading pond and the mill that stood by it,
The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell,
The cot of my father, the dary-house nigh it,
And cen the rude bucket that hung in the we'll
The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket,
The moss-covered bucket which hung in the WELL

For often at noon, when returned from the field,
I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure.
The purest and sweetest that nature yield
How ardent seized it. with hands that were glowing
And quick to the white-pebbled bottom it fell;
Then soon, with the emblem of truth OVERLOOKING
