bRANDE|S ASKS
FOR COOPERATION
Justice States Courts and
Bureaus Should Work
in Harmony.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Justice Brandeis said from the Su-
preme Court bench yesterday that
the courts and administrative bodies
should cooperate in producing an
efficient Government.
He commented during argument on
whether $586000 held by the Federal
District Court for Western Missouri
should be returned Immediately to
commission men operating at the
Kansas City Stock Yards.
Frederick H. Wood of New York,
attorney for the commission men, was
arguing that the refund should be
made before Secretary Wallace is per-
mitted to pass anew on the question
OF ressonableness Of charges the COM
mission men made for their services
between 1898 and 1887,
The money represents the difference
between charges the commissioner
made and lower rates which had been
prescribed by Secretary Wallace The
latter's order was invalidated last
April by the Supreme Court, which
AAASo tAlC SoiIlIlASSIOll1lCIl l1AQ IlOt
ceived fair hearing
Now the Supreme Court has been
asked to decide whether the District
Court acted correctly in ordering the
impounded money given to the COM
missionmen.
Justice Brandeis asked Mr.. Wood if
1t would be "a just system of law" to
permit rights of litigates to be disre-
earded because there had been a
procedural error" by an administrative
ofhcer.
The attorney replied that the court
had held in the stockyards case that
there was fragrant disregard of the
law"
1T may have been fiagrant," Justice
Brandeis said, "but it was not inten-
tional."
The justice also asked Mr.. Wood if
courts should not be permitted to
correct errors of administrative bodies.
Mr.. Wood replied that If this were
done it would broaden the power Of
courts beyond what Congress had in
tended for them to exercise.

ANSWERS ATTACK
ON VETERAN HELP
N. W. Rice of V.F.W. Replies
to Civil Service Assembly
Director.

In q bristling rejoinder to G. Lyle
Belsley, director Of the Civil Service
Assembly of the United States and
Canada, who had condemned efforts
to extend veteran preferences In pub
lie employment, Millard w. Rice, leg
islative representative OF the Veteran.
Of Foreign Wars, said today that
practically the only citizens" oppos-
ing the principle are those who might
assume that . veteran preference
might prevent their own employment"
The Belsley attack came In the
course Of his annual report to the
assembly here Monday, when he said
that an aroused citi1nry" had
turned back several efforts in behalf
Of veterans.
Denied Privilege Of Reply.
The response from the v. r. w. was
a letter to Mr.. Belsley which Mr.. Rice
said he was writing because he had
been denied the privilege Of making
an answer before the assembly, which
concluded its 30th annual session here
yesterday.
Saying that he proposed Ito dispel,
If possible, the false implications Gre
ated by the vicious statements in your
annual report" Mr.. Rice said it was
because present law has proven in
effective that the veterans have sought
stronger preferential legislation.
a.r1t-
The general public has been led
falsely to believe that a very large
percentage Of governmental employees
are veterans" he said. Veterans are
believed generally to get Government
employment preference which they
actually fail to receive" =,
Charges Determination.
Mr.. Rice said that actual prefer
ences are given to certain other groups,
with actual discrimination against
qualified veterans" and that-in the
absence of statistics-he doubts if
veterans constitute more than IS per
cent Of the total number of Federal
employees.
I'VE have not contended that
veteran should be placed in a Govern
ment job solely because he is a vet-
eran," Mr.. Rice said. I'VE insist that
he must be qualified to perform the
job to which he aspires. After he has
been appointed, We insist that he
should render faithful. conscientious
and efficient service. without any spe-
cial privileges, the same as any other
employe"
Veterans now get five points added
to their rating when taking a civil
service examination, and, if they can
prove service-connected disability, 10
points. They also are entitled under
certain conditions to preferred selectiye
status.
