More Carpet-Baggers

NN ONE day District Commissioner Melvin G. Hazen
~ announces himself in favor of real civil service
system for the local government with preference being
piven to local citizens who qualify for vacancies
dav or two later it is announced that the District
Commissioners have awarded position in the govern
men service to a from distant State.
Welfare workers and socially minded citizens go to
Congress- and 60 on the radio to tell the terrible story
Of suffering from unemployment in the District and
beseech additional funds
The next day local group is forced to protest against
the bringing into the District of woman welfare worker
from another State to fill position which Is paid for out
of funds raised for local charity.
Do we to give Jobs to our local people When we
have them or don't we?
Are we going to continue to speak nice words about
solving the local unemployment problem and yet pursue
0 course of action which adds to that problem?
Is it the people of the District who responsible
for giving these jobs to outsiders are these jobs given
TO citizens of the States because of the political inu-
ence of those from the States who hold high public
office?
The Commissioners appoint committee to investi-
gate the local governmental setup from the standpoint
of the local taxpayer and several of the members OF the
committee are residents of the District but residents
Of the States
If in the conduct of local activities which are left to
certain extent to local control to disregard
OPPORTUNITIES how can the community hope to win
greater share in its government from the Federal Gov
Srnment7
Some of those who talk the loudest about obtaining
local sefgovernment or national representation for the
District are among the first to turn to outsiders when
anything is to be done for the city.
They talk largely about the theories Of local control
Of local affairs yet without hesitation turn that control
over to someone else when it could be retained
Admitting the qualifications of those whom the Com
mssioners or local welfare organizations bring into the
cv to fill Jobs does alter the violence which is done
to sound principle by this system.
CERTAINLY THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT so
DEVOID OF INTELLIGENCE, ABILITY AND
TRAINING THAT AMONG ITS MORE THAN HALF
MILLION RESIDENTS CANNOT BE FOUND MEN
AND WOMEN TO FILL AVAILABLE POSITIONS.
The Washington times., 1937-03-22

If our people capable Of earning the money to
pay the salaries of these jobs there among
who are capable of doing the work.
Those who spending the local pubic's money
should lean backward to that that money does
the most good for the local community.
The most complete beneficial results cannot be OBJ
tanned from that expenditure by bringing in outsiders,
unfamiliar with local conditions to fill these local jobs

UNQUOTE

In the House Rules Committee
the newspapermen ran UP against
something new. ,s..,,.u
The committee was considering
the Dickstein bill for inVestlgatlon
of subversive activities in America.
There had been quite bit OF tax
about the startling charge OF Rep
resentative Dickstein that uni
formed Nazi were drilling in New
york, other similar charges were
made and then Representative
william j. Driver, Of Arkansas. re-
marked:
"This Is one Of those things
that II anyone repeats it, I didn't
say it.
"What we need in this country
is o few local firing squads"
So if anyone asks you, Mr..
Driver didn't say it because he
was so quoted in the press dis
patches that very afternoon.

TINDER

And, perhaps, here is an angle OF
a more serious nature:
Representative Edith Nourse
Rogers made a speech on the floor
of the House in protest against
the German newspaper stories in
the LaGuardia.Hitler explosion.
She said she had protested to the
State Department over the insults
to American womanhood.
Since then she has received sew
eral threatening letters.
