Strangely enough although these agencies
are rarely responsive to the will OF Congress,
the history of reorganization bills has shown
that Congress Is usually quite willing TO exempt
them from any plan which would contemplate
their consolidation with cabinet departments
Yet it 10 obvious that as long as they continue
to possess prosecuting and legislative functions
they are acting in the field Of policy.
The recent Administrative Procedures Act
however, while directed ut curbing capricious
action by agency heads and giving litigants
fair chance to be heard, has tended to exagser-
ate the independence" Of these bodies. A
wiser approach would be special legislation
directed to the particular agency which would
bring about a complete divorce between the
functions which are properly judicial and those
which are properly executive.
The only agency with which Congress has
dealt in this fashion in recent years Is the
National Labor Relations Board Even in that
instance the separation was not complete, Tor
although the general counsel was given final
authority for the investigation and institution
of prosecutions the board was still left with
the power of appointment over his stan as
we'll as its own.
In view of the fact that Congress cannot be
expected to keep its hands off the executive
branch unless there Is some rapport between
the agencies and the congressional committees
with which they come in contact, 1t Is difncut
In see why officials not performing quasi
judicial functions should remain aloof from
these committees. wholly unjustinaole cr1tl-

.DistiIIers' Advertising
Attacked by Crawford
As Deceiving Public

An attack on the distillers fol
their deceptive" advertising which
sells cheap alcoholic blends as
quality products" was made today
before the Senate Commerce Com
mittee by Representative Crawford
Republican, of Michigan.
The committee resumed hearings
on the Capper bill prohibiting ad-
yertising of alcoholic beverages
through publications, radio, mail or
otherwise in interstate commerce
The bill was the subject of hearings
last May. In the meanwhile, Sen
ator Reed, Republican, Of Kansas
and Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado studied the bill and have
introduced two bills which they
consider more practicable
Senator Reeds bill would prohibit
alcoholic beverage advertising which
says the product is good for the
health, social or business advance
ment, or traditional in American
family life"
Senator Johnsons bill would limit
alcoholic advertising largely to a
facsimile of the bottle and its label.
The two Senators support one an
others bills.
Before an audience in the Senate
caucus room comprised largely OF
women with the ribbons of tenn
perance organizations, Mr.. Craw-
ford protested the quality OF liquor
that is being sold as whisky.
Mr.. Crawford said his record
showed him a stalWart champion
of private industry but that its
about time the Government of the
United States made a monopoly OF
it (the liquor business) and put
private industry out of the picture. u
Senator Capper, Republican, OF
Kansas at the beginning OF the
hearing said that the bills of Sen
ators johnson and Reed were "all
right as far as they go' but that for
me to support them would be ap-
peasing the liquor industry"

Young Wins Easily
lin Attacks on Policy
BY the Assoeicted Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 21.-The
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway man
agement policies of Board Chair
man Robert r. Young easily wealth
cred a minor storm of criticism at
| the annual stockholders meeting
here yesterday.
BY lopsided votes the stockholders
reelected C. & O.'s 15-member
Board of Directors and beat back
three critical resolutions aimed at
Mr.. Young's policies.
The attack on Mr.. Young was
launched by George S. Jackson,
New York industrial engineer, who
said that Mr.. Young's promotion OF
flashy passenger facilities and other
expenditure of company funds had
resulted in the waste of millions OF
dollars.
He proposed that committee OF
two be named to investigate the
financial affairs and the operations
of the corporation. One committee
member would represent Mr.. jack
sons group and the other would be
from management The stockh0ld-
ers knocked down this proposal BY q
stock vote of 5,681 1858 to 4,313. Sfs
Two other resolutions aimed at
Mr.. Young Jared only slightly better.
One, defeated, 5,153,591 to 49,
SCI, would have required that an
impartial and accurate" report of
the proceedings be sent to stock
holders. The other would have re-
quired the company to withdraw
from the Federation of Railway
Progress, an association backed by
Mr.. Young. This one was defeated
S, ,137 1895 to 335,194
After a rather hot exchange with
the management accusing Mr.. Jack
son of Interior motives" and repre-
senting other railway interests and
Mr.. Jackson insisting he spoke only
for himself as stockholder and
those stockholders who had volun-
tarily given him their proxies, Mr..
Jackson read a six-page statement
into the record.
He charged that C. & O's finan-
cial position was relatively inferior
to other similarly situated lines and
said this condition could be traced
to 1941 when Mr.. Young obtained
control of the company.
He wanted to know the cost to
the stockholders of c. 81 O.'s spe-
cial services on passenger trains,
the cost of the operation of Mr..
Young's private railroad car and
who footed the bill for entertain
ment and transportation of guests.

that small docket means that new
cases can be tried within 10 days
from the time of arraignment.

judge said.
The court clerk pointed out the
reduction this year has been pro-
gressive, with 322 cases disposed of in
January, 222 in February and 154
in March. Jury trial requests also
dropped in this period from 1853 in
