tended that such a plan would pro-

IN THE CAPITOL-One of the
most disillusioning aspects Of Gov
ernmental life in the Capitol Is the
duplicity and misrepresentation
aGharacterizing many activities. Con-
stitutiOnal limitations are frequently
ignored. aud executive departments
do many things not authorized by
law. To illustrate this is the Film
Service of the Bureau Of Education.
The President allOcated $331,O 900 for
this service out OF relief funds
which Congress had provided for un-
employed persons. Not one dime
went for such relief, but instead this
money was used TO pay salaries Of
from IS to $25 per day plus travel
ing expenses. to produce films not
authorized by law. Surely this large
sum could have been used more
benehcially for relief, as Congress
intended.
