. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON


An inspector who finds any in
efficiency will recommend to
the higher-ups that because of
mismanagement of government
gravy in the last fiscal year, an
executive order should be Is
sued, relieving administrator A
from his duties as head of bu-
reau B and appointing him to a
job as co-ordinator of depart
ments X, Y and z. Such an ad-
ministrator is said to be kicked
upstairs.
l. stands for Liaison. AS you
have seen, things are getting
pretty complicated, so it is nee
essary to appoint liaison officers
to keep administrators, bureaus,
co-ordinators nd directors in
formed on what they are doing.
MILITARY MAJESTY
M stands for Military. Of late,
all the foregoing, from admins
tration right through liaison,
have been suspicious that the
military is trying to take them
over.
N stands for Navy. The mill
tary always complains that out
in the field, the Naval officers
always rank higher than the Ar
my officers.
% stands for Operations. Adj
ministrators are always telling
you about the operations of their
bureau.
P stands for Politics. This is a
game played by all bureaucrats,
the generic term for all gov
eminent employees from admin
istration brain trusters to mill
tary and Naval brass hats. Pur-
pose Of the game of politics is
for each player to get everybody
else kicked-upstairs so that he
himself can be promoted.
@ stands for Quorum. 1t is
necessary for both Houses of
Congress and all government
committees to have a quorum
present in order to do business.
In Congress, whenever con-
gresham wants to 60 to the rest
rooms he calls for quorum,
which is seldom there.
r stands for Red Tape and
Reorganization. When bureaus
expand their operations, they in
evitably get bound with red
tape.
S STANDS FOR SECRET
S stands for government Sc
cret, ha, ha, hah, ha, ha! Until
publicly announced, rumors of
reorganization plans are all sup
posed to be government secrets.
Jokes over.
T stands for Taxpayer, the
sap!
US stands for Unlimited auth
GRITTY, VIII i h all bureaucrats
wish they had from higher-ups.
V stands for Verify. All bu-
reaucrats must verify every
thing with their higher-ups.
w stands. for War Production
Board. government n y
which is constantly being reor-
ganized to eliminate red tape.
x in government, as every
where else, is the gre UNI
known, which people who play
politics always wish they could
verify.
Y stands for Yes-men, which
is what great administrators al
ways surround themselves with.
z is for Zero, which is what
taxpayers have left when they
get through paying for all this.
and is what it all amounts to.

President Roosevelt deserves credit TOR the zeo'
with which he has tried to supervise everything oof'
nected with the prosecution OF this war;
Unfortunately, utter sincerity and answering
devotion are not enough to tronsform an almost Poc-

machine.
Thot transformation requires the exercise OF tech

operotno successfully huge factories such as are tins
nations pride.
It coils for the application Of financial principles
which can be learned only by dealing successfully with
Iorae.scoIe fiscal problems.
1t involves the Juggling Of raw materials which no
American ever has had to learn, but with which the
executives of the more complicated industrial plants
have had most experience.
Il necessities the ingenious utilization Of over
worked transportation facilities, which brilliant men
devote their lives to attempting to master.
1t depends upon planning and training, along
purely military lines which, in the face Of such an
enemy as Germany, can be desperately PerI'ous un-
less they are tempered with caution born Of expert
ence.
In all Of these things we shall fail unless we act
with dorina vision Imagination and large measure
of conocIostic scorn for tradition But in oil we shall

avoid hopeless experimentation that can only waste
time, money, materials and lives

We need somebody else to say: Find out how it

Dies Committee Charqes
Red Plot Against Congress
BY GEORGE ROCKWELL BROWN
Special TO THE DETROIT TINES

WASHINGTON, June "a. -
w The Dies committee, in a
lengthy special report to the
House made pub fic today,
charged that the attempted
purge of Congress, launched by
the Union for Democratic Action.
is part of a movement by a
radical group using the war
emergency TO advance their
plans, for a social revolution
within the United States.
The report, released by Rep.
Joe Starnes of Alabama, acting
chairman of the special House
committee on un-American ac-
tivities. further alleges that
many of the principal leaders of
the Union are Communists. or
are now, or have been active
in the Communist Party or in
Communist front organizations.
The committee found that re-
cent barbs aimed at the 'legis-
lative branch of government,
including the Bundles for Con-
gressmen, and "X-cards for
Congressman" affairs. followed
the Communist party line"
which is to "discredit parlia-
mentary institutions in every
way possible
The report drew parallel be-
tween the current campaign and
the degradation of the German
Reichstag ito an assembly OF
puppets" during Hitler's rise to
supreme power.
DECLARING that the United
~ States is menaced with
creeping totalitarianism," the
committee stated that "the
spearhead of the attack upon
Congress as an institution stems
from a group of men who have
had long training and eX-
perience in the theology of Karl
Marx"
ut is one thing to indict
individual members of Congress
for their votes and opinions
with which one Is I'm disagree

matter to scof at the in

port declared.

clared, has been drawn sucker
