NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 20.-
"Debauchery of law and order"
was named today by j. Edgar
Hoover, chief of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation, as "the greatest
threat confronting the people of
this Nation today"
This, Mr.. Hoover said In an
address to the National Fifty
Years in Business Club, Is more
serious than the threat of hunger,
Communism or of foreign invasion.
He said he advocated setting up
. dictatorship of the people,"
which in the United States is called
democracy" but I'VE could Just
Is well call it justice"
Threat to Social Order.

Mr.. Hoover said after commenting
on the advances made by business
during that period, has eliminated
into positive threat to our social
order.
corruption begets corruption.
One of the worst degenerative
forces in American life during the
past so years has been corruption
in public office"
The F. B. I. chief, whose agents
participated in recent investigation
of Kansas City's government, re-
terred then to "a situation which
indeed is not an isolated instance" :"
On election day few years ago,
he said, in "a great American city,
which he did not specifically name,
tine armed fury of entrenched in
terests ran wild"
Tells of Election Crimes.
He spoke of CORY scenes of
multiple crimes" in this election
and of later election in the same
city when a Federal Judge charged
q grand jury to preserve the purity
of the ballot and summoned the
F, B. I. to aid in the effort. This,
Mr.. Hoover said, was in December
Of 1896.
The revelations were startling"
he continued. The investigation
resulted in the conviction of nearly
300 persons in Federal court for
violation of the election laws"
Detailing specific instances of
law violation uncovered in this in
vestigation, Mr. Hoover said that
the machine offered support to
defendants, but that Federal officials
persisted in their efforts and today

The 52-year-old Army engineer,
whose associates credit him with a
flair for direct action, will inherit
about 10000 complaints of wage
hour law violations. A gradually ex-
panding force of wage-hour lawyers
and inspectors has not been able
to catch up with these, officials have
explained primarily because of the
need for more money than Congress
supplied.
Must Perfect System.
Offlcials who have been with the
Wage-Hour Division since it began

wage earners in interstate industries,
said one of Col. F1emings first prob
lens would be perfecting. modifying

Andrews.
The plan in general would dele
gate to is regional directors and
their stats sufficient authority to
deal with regional wage-hour prob
lens without having to write or
telephone Washington for instruc-
tlons.
Only five of the regional directors
have been named although in many
places supervising inspectors or
regional lawyers have handled wage
hour business
Another job for Col. Fleming is ex-
pected to be speeding up of industry
committee work. These committees
are set un to consider the highest
possible minimum wage rate for each
industry. The law provides a mini
mum scale gradually rising from 25
to 40 cents an hour, but the Accent
goal will not be reached for six years.
Streamlining Expected.
Some wage-hour officials said they
also expected Col Fleming to try
to streamline the administrative pro-
cedure. He will have an enlarged
legal and inspection staff. The legal
staff has been increased from so
to 80 lawyers in order to handle
complaint cases.
Col, Fleming has been described
by some of his Government associ-
ates as a builder and engineer who
can see the social side of problems.
He supervised w. P. AS SO 300 OOO.-

istrator before taking charge of the

Our diplomats in 1914 didn't know
much about their international bus1
ness. Maybe President Woodrow Wiz
son did, but not Secretary OF State
William Jennings Bryan.
At all events Secretary Bryan
wasn't in sympathy with the Will

that Wilsonianism was Americanly
war-directed, and resigned on that
