MIR. Truman not only began to talk
economy in a much stronger voice
than before but he began to do
things about it well calculated to
Evening star., 1946-09-02

that he had been a lawyer but that
he did not feel able to work at a
law job. He had no civil service
status and, in any event, could not
qualify for job higher than that
Of clerk. So the great "economizer, "
Representative Johnson, obligingly
made provision in the Interior bud
get for position paying $4,000, and
exempt from the classified service.
Thus I found myself with an en-
ploye on my personal staff of whose
services I could really make no use.
We honestly tried to find a job that
Mr.. McClintic could fill, for he was
at least a good-natured fellow.
When I suggested to him that we
could use him out of town as a
compliance officer for the Solid
Fuels Administration, he did not
want to leave Washington. So
told him that Interior could no
longer support him in idleness, fol-
lowing which he found job in the
War Department, undoubtedly with
Jed johnson again indorsing his
desire to draw an easy salary from
the Government.
Sought Job for Brothers.
When I was Public Works Ad-
ministrator, Representative Jed
johnson wished upon me his
brother. Joshua w. johnson. as
manager of housing project at
Enid, Okla. In October of 1912
he asked me to give a job to an
other brother, Carroll, and he also
sought place for Eva L. Johnson,
the wife of Carroll. The Repre-
sentative wrote to the Indian office
about both his brother and sister,
in law, suggesting that they
might possibly be interested in a
combination job for a while If you
have something that would pay
Evening star., 1946-09-02

around $1,000 for him and teach
ing job or matron OF a dormitory
for her" He also thought that
Brother CAROLS experience prob
ably fitted him better for a posi-
ton in the Park Service than in
the Indian Service but that he
would be delighted to have a re-
sponsible position in either depart
ment."
We were not able to place
Brother Carroll or his wife In either
agency. We found that his expe-
rience had been in grocery stores
as an inspector of fruits and vege-
tables. The influential Jed johnson
had previously gotten him job to
direct landscape work in the Soil
Conservation Service, he having
passed the civil service test for
rural letter carrier in 1s41.
On October 81, 1912, Representa-
tive johnson wrote complaining
that the Indian Service had mot
shown the slightest inclination to
make any effort to locate a place
for him (Brother CARROLL" He
pointed out that there is, or may
be soon, a goodly number of va
cancies." both in the Indian Serv-
ice and the Park Service, which he
considered Brother Carroll amply
qualified to fill by virtue of his ex-
perience as an inspector of fruits
and vegetables.

what he would do, or fail to do, if
his solicitations did not bear fruit.
On the contrary, Representative
Johnson did, and in that respect he
has proved himself to be less de-
sirable as member of the lower
house than his colleague, Repre-
sentative May. Doubtless his con-
stituents sensed this when they
voted him out Of Office on primary
day.
Valuable object Lesson.
While the Hon. Jedehiah Johnson
was defeated on primary day, he
Is still member of Congress and
his record constitutes a valuable
object lesson which his colleagues
and the people Of the country are
entitled to have disclosed to them.
On one occasion Representative
johnson solicited a job in Interior
for James v. McCliptic of Okla
homa, who had been defeated for
reelection to Congress. Mr.. NC
Clintic, upon being interviewed, said

to be re-examined and reduced. II
done with vigor, determination and
sincerity cut of $4,000, ,000. 900 is
conceivable. This, with no tax re-
duction, would restore Federal finan-
cial stability. balance the budget and
vastly reduce the inf1ationary peril
If he does not weaken and is wholly
sincere, Mr.. Truman could do this
1t would be very great service to
his party, his country and himself
Also it would confound Mr.. Taft, one
Of the Presidents most severe po.

squeals of the wasters would attest

honorable man he Is, doubtless
would retract.
