Gratis in Washington are issuing
rules and regulations designed to
"re.make the world and to re
make the industrial and economic
organizations of our own country.
In a speech, OMahoney declared
that an "unrestrained bureaucracy
subject to strong central leadership
would be an easy avenue to state
socialism Of either the Nazi or
Communist variety"
He said that President Roosevelt
issued 500 executive orders be-
tween Jan. I, 1871 and April p.
1882. and added that they were
not written in the halls Of Congress
on the responsibility of men cho-
sen by the public and known to

They were written IN private
by anonymous experts O'Mahon-
ey said. They were not subject
to public hearing, nor were they
analysed in public debate
The senator proposed that the
executive branch should abandon
the policy Of expanding its powers
by Interpretation; Congress should
observe more care in the delegation
OF powers. by establishing definite
standards and by exercising great
er watchfulness over the uses of
bureaus OF the powers it grants
and the executive. through the bu-
reau heads, and the Congress,
through its committees, should CO
operate in the determination OF
policies and preparation of rules
