Under those same rules which he
interprets, Lew could not take the

Civil Service Agency
Can't Collect Data on
Congress, Group Says
(From Yesterdays Last Edition.)

| From Yesterdays Last Editton.)
1 The House Expenditures Commit
tee held today that the Civil Service
Commission had no authority to
collect information on members Of
Congress In the fles it keeps In
connection with the investigation Of
prospective Government employees.
The committee report, adopted
unanimously, stated the commits
sion has informed the committee
it has withdrawn and destroyed all
such information bearing on men,
bers Of Congress.
The report concluded with q rec
onmendation that Congress adopt
a Joint resolution directing the
Civil Service Commission to make
available to the representatives Of
congressional committees "any and
all information in its possession
bearing upon the acts and opinions
of members Of the Congress or in
dividuals whose activities do not
fall within the Jurisdiction Of the
commission"
Hoffman Heads Committee.
The report also stated that hear
ings held last fall brought out testi-
mony that the members Of the Civil
Service Commission did not know
"the information contained in the
investigators lead file insofar as
it related to acts or opinions Of
members Of Congress was being
collected or maintained"
The committee Is headed by Rep
sentative Hoffman, Republican, Of
Michigan.
Much Of the controversy ct the
hearings last fall grew out Of the
Civil Service Commissions refusal
to let the committee 60 through
the investigators files.
Purpose Is Questioned.
Referring to this question in Its
report, the committee states:

"The postwar period is char
acterized In the United States by
a ferocious struggle between the
forces of democracy and the
forces of reaction. The offensive
OF monopoly capital has for some
time now been intensifying
against the rights of the Ameri-
can workers and the democratic
rights of the whole people. This
is confirmed by antilabor draft
laws adopted by Congress In
Washington and by the legisla-
tive organs Of many States, as
well as by police terror against
progressive persons and organi-
cations, and repeated attempts
to ban the American Communist
Party by various law suits"
