BREEDS WASTE

The result is that appropria-
tion builds on appropriation, waste
builds on waste. and bureaucracy
builds on bureaucracy. and every
step in the building makes IL that
much harder for Congress 10 keep
track Of the preposterous, maud
lin monster ii has created and
government slips little farther
out of the hands of the people.
When Congress tries TO check
on how an agency is spending its
money or administering its laws,
it IS caught in the same impossible
tangle. 1t has no investigating
STATS worthy of the name so IT
has 10 borrow investigators from
the very administrative agency 1t
is investigating.
That's like asking a man ac-
cused OF murder 10 investigate his
own case and dig up the evidence
which will send him 10 the cleo
trio chair. And it produces about
the same results.

Fulton Lewis Says:
By FULTON LEWIS JR.

WASHINGTON, Oct. RE
publican politicians. led by Gov.
Dewey, promise a general renova-
ton, remodeling and house clean
ing of the administrative side OF
the government, if they are voted
into Office.
They promise TO put some order
into the sprawling. overlapping,
idiotic maze OF bureaus that has
grown up in Washington. They
promise 10 eliminate unnecessary
expenditures and TO inject into the
dLsarranged and arrogant Wash
ington bureaucracy some SEM
blance of efficiency and some
sense of responsibility TO the
American people.
It's a very commendable cam
paign promise. The job IS long
overdue.
But it's only half the task at
hand and unless they tackle the
other half and get II done first.
the promise inevitably will go un-
fulfilled.

TASKS OF CONGRESS

Consider the even more impor-
tant responsibility of Congress
the business Of making govern
ment, writing legislation. passing
laws.
When the country was young
and the fashion was for govern
ment TO be held TO an irreducible
minimum, Congress equipped IL
self with few clerks, d few
lawyers. and few research
workers--enough TO write the
few laws which were necessary
in those days of government
infancy.
1t still has those few clerks and
few lawyers and few research
workers. In some cases the same
individuals. II is humanity i'm
possible for them 20 handle 5 per
cent of the legislation which Is
considered by Congress every
year. The result is, the legisla-
ton is not written in Congress
where It's supposed TO be written.

Vichyite's Conviction
y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE appellate
court at Lyon yesterday refused to
uphold the conviction and death
sentence meted out by collabora- =
tion court to Angelo Angel, Vichy
regional prefect, and ordered a new
trial. 1t was the first time that this
has occurred since the purge trials
were begun in France.
The French press agency reported
the high court had based its decision
on the fact that several witnesses
had failed to appear after being
cited and that the magistrate had
closed the investigation before all
the evidence had been heard.
Angel had been convicted of COL
lusion with the enemy for his
activities during the occupation.
Former Mayor Marrant of Sollies-
Pont in Southern France was con-
demned to death on a collaboration
