The Last Straw

It now becomes apparent that the c. I. o. is doomed to destruc- ton. Imperial Wizard Hiram w. Evans of the Ku Klux Klan an- nounced on last Sunday that the Committee for Industrial Organ ization lis infested with Con- mun!sts and the Klan will ride to wipe out Communism" The Klan Is not going to sit around on It's hunkers, smoking corncob pipes, chcrishing the hook-worm and let our social order be de- stroyed without getting out the bedsheets to save the nation. This is the last straw. With Con- greSsman Cox from Georgia an- nouncing that the c. I. o. will be opposed by the flower Southern manhood" and Imperial Wizard Evans calling out the ringboned cavalry of the Klan to drive out the c. I. o. destroyers, 1t looks as If the Lewis followers were in for tough going. The Wizards state ment fits in perfectly with utter ances denouncing the labor cam paign which have emanated from certain patriots" in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio. In bygone days these sectors were hot -beds of Klanism and the &C., tions of misnamed Citizens Com mittees," Back to Work" asso- citations, and American Vigi- lantes" in certain of the strike areas led me to think that per- haps the Imperial Wizard still has an unsuspected following. The Klan, the spirit of besotted hatred it breathes, and the ignorant de- lusions it profiteers in never dies. It thrives also in other places and under other aspects than in the steel regions and industrial war fare.

A printed copy of the propnsed amendment has just reached me. Since 1t covers fifteen pages I have not been able to read more than the first half dozen or so at this writing. I am only half way through a perusal of the powers, rights, privileges, prerogatives, ct cetera of the personnel director. And if what I have so far enfoun- tered is any sample of what fol- lows I must say that compared to the powers delegated to him those of Mussoiini, Hitler, and Stalin combined are as nothing. But more of this later. In the inter- i'm I might remark that while I do not care for dictators as a class the most obnoxious to me is the carpet-bag dictator. Which personnel directors usually are

MT. Carr

In connection with all this so- called merit system buncombe it might be noted that Assistant Secretary of State Carr has been transferred from the State De- partmentin Washington where he held sway for many many years to the United States Ministry in Czechoslovakia. MT. Carr 1t has been announced, was so long cooped up in Washington that a change of environment would be in the way of a reward for his long term of service. All this on the surface and for public con- sumption. It is now stated that the transfer was brought about because MT. Carr, the father of the Merit System in the State Department, developed into a bu- reaucrat who not irfrequently for got merit to look at social and family eminence in "career men" and was guilty of un-meritorious favoritism towards what Washing ton correspondent call white spat diplomats" In justice to the proposed amendment to the Wa terbury city charter I have not noticed that the personnel director is empowered to make the wear ing or the wearing of white spats-or any other kinda cause for promotion, demotion, cut in salary, boost in salary. or prefer ential treatment. However, have, as I have said. read only six or eight pages Of the amendment.
