INVESTIGATORS SHOULD BE
INVESTIGATED, TOO
by BRUCE CATION

1T is an odd little comedy OF errors thaI
is being played in Washington these days.
with the investigators for one government
department investigating the investigators
for another government department, and
the investigated investigators investigating
right back at them.
The Secret Service men Of the Treasury
Department seem to have been looking INTO
the activities of the Bureau of InveStlga-
ton men of the Department Of Justice.
Mist recently J. Edgar Hoover, boss OF the
latter group. got on the trail 10 check re-
ports that his own brokerage accounts
of. which. ne says. he has none-were be-
ing investigated by somebody.
Meanwhile, Treasury Department Off
Gals are reported to be investigating re-
ports that their own Secret Service men
have been investigating the Omen; and
abbut all We need now to complicate mat
tefs for good is congressional committee
10 investigate ali OF them.
But while the whole business does have
some of the aspects of rather bewilder-
ing Joke, II is worth remembering that
there is nothing especially funny about the
idea OF investigating the investigators.
These government sleuths who have
compiled such brilliant records are, after
all, public servants; and, however complex
and peculiar the present tangle Of mutual
investigation may seem, il doesn't hurt to
have everybody reminded that If is perfect
" in order for their records to be brought
out into full daylight any time the public
demands il.
That point is worth knowing. The One
thing that would end all the great useful
ness OF such al organization as that Of the
Omen would be for the organization TO
drift into semi-sanctiied position above
the reach Of inquiry. --..
II that ever happens, we shall have per-
fected an idea tool for the use of any adj
1ninistration which has hankerings toward
a dictatorship.
After all the OGPU Of Russia and the
Gestapo of Germany are nothing in the
world but organizations Of Omen which
have been made superior 10 all criticism

these days. Clyde Sabin was away
on another trip.
Maybe" Harriet said, ''the next
time he goes, I'll go with him.
She was buying her trousseau and
insisted that Toby must accompany
her on many of the shopping trips
Harriet was shrewd shopper, but
now she wanted advice. Gowns
were selected and sent home, only
to be returned. She couldn't de-
eide between the blue negligee and
the yellow one. And what about
shoes? Did the ones with the
buckles or the straps look best
Would Clyde like the red and white
sport dress or the green one? Was
it true that men admired big black
picture hats more than any other
kind, and if she bought that one
at Yvonne'S how could she pack it?
TOBY heard these questions and
l. others again and again. She
answered as we'll as she could and
she tried to be enthusiastic when
Harriet talked of Clyde and their
plans.
That was the hardest. Toby still
distruSted Clyde Sabin. She hated
to think Harriet was going to marry
him, and there wasn't thing in the
world that she could do about it.
She couldn't say, Harriet, I don't
think you should marry Clyde, be-
cause he tried to make a date with
me-"
No, she couldn't do that. She
couldn't do anything at all except
help choose the dresses and hats and
shoes Harriet was to wear on her
honeymoon and hope that her fears
might prove unfounded.
Toby was going to keep the apart
ment. She was earning enough now
so that she could afford it. The
furniture was Harriet's, but she
wanted Toby to keep that, too.
We'll be living in hotel" Har-
riet said, "at least for while. I'd
rather go with Clyde when he's
away on trips than stay here alone,
so an apartment would be nui-
sance. After while we'll have a
place of our own, but in the mean
time, I'd like to have you keep
my things"
TOBY agreed. 1t would be lone
Il some without Harriet and she
was glad she could stay in the same
cheerful surroundings.
She had promised to go with
Harriet to look at some hats one
afternoon, but first she had an ap-
pointment at the beauty shop.
"Ill meet you at quarter of A."
Toby said. "At the -- street en-
trance of the store
"All right. I'll be there"
Toby hurried away. She finished
at the beauty shop and went on to
the store. Harriet was not in sight
when she arrived there.
She'll probably come in few
minutes" Toby told herself, and
strolled on to look at shop win
dow.
The window proved uninteresting.
Toby turned away a moment later
and noticed man coming toward
her. He was of medium height and
he wore.a rather shabby suit and
dark hat. Toby had seen him some
where. She tried to think where,
but couldn't remember. The next
instant he was beside her.
The man stopped. $50 I've found
you again!" he said. "This time
you're coming with mel"

scarcely older than Toby herself
She sang almost as we'll as she

Hillyer, She's beautiful, isn't she?''
He agreed. Toby, intent on the
scene behind the footlights, was not
aware that Hillyer's eyes were on
her more often than they were on
the stage.
She went to dinner with him
twice in the week that followed and
to a concert. On Sunday they drove
to famous inn across the Hudson
Toby enjoyed that, too. She hadn't
realized that spring had actually

now that she knew him better he
seemed younger. He was leanly-

of course, was old to Toby.

DETROIT, April 13.-New pas

Truck and commercial cars for
