e QUOTATION

be inclined to believe that the
whole furore arises over the
race question, this is not the real
danger.
The United States, which be-
gan as a declarations of states,
has gradually become involved
in process by which the
Federal Government, Largely
through its subsidies, acquired
more and more of the rights in
tended and reserved to the
states, As the process goes on,
the right of local self-govern-
ment will disappear.
When the Constitution was for
med, there were placed in the
document some safeguards, de-
liberately designed to protect the
less populous states against the
will of the majority of the ma
ton. These restrictive clauses
served for a while, but the steady
enroachment of Federal power
mas all put removed their erect
lveneSS.
The process, one should not
forget, has been aided and abet-
ted by decisions of the United
States Supreme Court. When pro-
ponents of Federal action in
doubt of the constitutionality of
what they sought, passed laws
to secure their detectives, the
tendency of the higher court has
been to extend Federal power to
include doubtful authority. A
stitutional amendment, but this
process, which is somewhat slow,
rarely moves fast enough to
please those who desire changes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %
A partial explanation for Presi-
dent Truman's periodical COM
plants about his inability to
tap good men, including SCENT
lists, for federal service may be
found in a letter now in the
files of Herbert Hoover's Com
mission for reorganization and
strengthening of the national
government. 1t throws the blame
directly on the White House.
The indictment was written by
John M. Carmody, who was not
reappointed to the Maritime
Commission by Mr.. Truman be-
cause he was, as the President
said in an off-handed remark
too mean"
Mr.. Carmody was requested by
Robert R. Bowie, executive Sc
cretary Of the Hoover body, to
comment on an analysis of the
Maritime Commission setup made
by the Commissions technical
experts.
ATTITUDE: AS background of
the Truman-Carmody incident,
it should be noted that Mr.. Car
mody has always had the sup
port and confidence of Senator
Robert F Wagner of New York,
former Senator Robert E. La
Toilette of Wisconsin, the Rail
way Brotherhoods and other I'M
ion organizations. AS a labor,
engineering and production ex-
pert, he had served with such
varied agencies as the N. r. A.,
the c. W. A., the R. E. A, the
N. L. R. B., and the Maritime
Commission.
On the latter outfit, he was
credited with an important part
in building the bridge of ships"
so vital in the winning of World
War II. He settled many tough
strikes when they threatened
shipping production.
He fought the faction on the
Commission which, in his opin-
ion, cost the government millions
lof dollars through their genera
sity to contractors. His friends
believe that it was this attitude
which accounted for Mr.. Tru-
man's failure to reappoint him.
UNCERTAINTY: The Car
mody letters discussion of Pre-
sident Truman's hiring-and-fir-
ing troubles may have current
Significance because he had to
deal with scientific personnel on
many of his federal assignments.
While they were willing to assist
the government in wartime,
they shield away from a perma-
nent job for various reasons.

hadn't come down with galloping
buck-fever during my interview
with Bubblehead Wallace at his
press conference in Philadelphia,
l wouldn't have been abe to
round him up right there because
old stupe just isn't bright.
When he said to me that day,
Il never discuss anything with

to say, "Oh, but, Mr.. Wallace,
that is not so because, the last
time visited you, you discussed
very interesting plan to build
an eight-lane concrete h.,hway
from New York to Par.s- by
way of Alaska and Siberia"
That would have sloughed
them but it is a fact.
1t would have touched him off
and when Bubblehead gives ton
que you have got him. You can
steer him with questions. But I
blew up and lost the floor. Doris

that he wrote the Goofy Guru

you will excuse me, for a better

John Carmody Blamed White House
For Inability to Keep Good Men
TUCKER

The principal factor, as the
Hoover document reveals, is not
so much fear of Congressional
investigation or smear as the
employment uncertainty and
lack of security caused, in part
at least, by Roosevelt-Truman
Administrations harsh handling
OF numerous distinguished pubic
servants.
Mr.. Carmody calls the rolls of
an impressive list of former
officials who were sunnariW
discharged or doghoused by the
White House without any ex-
PLANTATION. To wit.
DOLLHOUSE: John Fahey,
than whom there was never IN
i any department of government
under any Administration
more thoroughly competent pu-
bic official, and whose integrity
was never questioned, got short
shrlft from Mr.. Truman.

For example, in the letter to
"Dear Guru," dated March IL,
1888, where it says, 81 have been
thinking of you holding the cas-
kettle sacred. most precious
casket" know what that refers
to. 1t refers to a painting of old
nick, showing off the two-legged
beard, wearing his little ding-bat
Chinese cap and chow mein pa
jamas and holding up little box
that was planted in the corner
stone of the lamasery at the de-
dication conniptions. 1t was full
of conventional voodoo. Hair
combings, policy slips, boss-fix
powder and about 88 cents in
coins. Roerich's son, Viatoslav,
did a painting of the old boy
which hung inside the lamasery
and Bubblehead used to drool
with reverent awe at the sight
of it.
Then this letter continues.
"and have thought of the new
country going forth to meet the
seven stars under the sign of
the three stars. And ! have tho
ught of the admonition, await
the stone We await the stone
and we welcome you again to
this glorious land of destiny,

strange, fumbling fears"
Know what this is about? ask

Old nick used to tell Henry

sticism and, as one of the old
hands OF the cutusl circle said
the other day, IVA lace was un-
believably simple. He was child
ish. He loved to use code names

vet the wavering one. The State
Department was the old house,
He was gallahad. Such a dope!
Roerich had written a thing
called "the legend of the stone"
and Wa lace had an emotional
hoe-down over that. He soaked
up Roerich's patter and used it
to suggest great savvy about or
iental religions, like broadcast
er jabbering football jargon who
never even went out for musical
chairs.
He also impressed the men,
bers of the circle as a man
bounded by strange fears. He
seemed frightened of everything
of nothing, all the time. Yet he
would do the most stupid things
and give himself real cause to
worry over being found out. He
seemed to think nothing of lift

Eight Hour Day did not come
INTO existence as either Social
list or a New Deal reform nor
did the high wage scale or the
high standard of living grow
out of the party platforms of
any kind,
Today when many of those
who toadied to the Krenln and
the American Communists and
who brought upon us the shame
of Yalta, point to an occasional
and rare reflection on the abuses
of the Communists, and justify
their stupiditieS on the ground
that because they were fighting
Hitler they could not see Stain.
Norman Thomas can point to a
daring and courageous pursuit of
peace-a lasting peace-during
the entire course of the war.
Now, he is opposing Henry
Wallace and his party. He says;
But in the manipulation of
the movement, Communists have
gained too much power. Bitter
experience from World War l
down through 1896 taught US
Socialists the impossibility of
any cooperation in good faith
with a party controedl rigidly
from Moscow, and which Glorl-
fies bad faith as part of its
religion.
Thomas may be smiled at rs
perennial candidate, but he has
the courageous to serve without
hope of success, to labor with
out profit, to be American in its
most idealistic terms.
