most ambitious scheme that organ
lied reaction has ever Matched tt
"take over' the administrative
agencies of the US government.
The story of this plot-spear.
headed by the NAM and the Amer
ican Bar Ass'n-is a long ano
murky one. It's worth the study OF
every trade unionist.
A couple Of months ago 81 OF
the PIT trial examiners in IA gov.
ernment agencies were told that
the Board of Examiners for Hear
ing Examiner Personnel had found
them unqualified for their jobs
Therefore, said the Civil Service
Commission, their jobs would be
terminated on June 25.
The trial examiners in admins
trative agencies, like the NLRB
the Interstate Commerce Commiss-
ion and the Federal Power Com
mission, play the same part in ad-
ministrative law as the district
courts do in the old-line Judicial
system. In other words, the evid-
ence that they accumulate is the
basis not only of their original de-
cisions in the cases they hear, but
also the record on which any APP
peals body makes its final ruling.
Threatened with the loss of their
jobs, the 54 trial examiners have
hired attorneys and are fighting
the case. Their lawyers asked the
csc to reverse its ruling, and also
to disqualify the Board of Examin-
ers. This special panel, they main
tain, is a packed court.
CSC denied the first motion, and
has not yet ruled on the second. 1t
has, however, notified the hearing
officers that it is indefinitely post
poning the date on which they are
to be discharged, and the Board of
Examiners itself has called in some
of them and told them that on re-
consideration they've been okayed.
The Board of Examiners, chosen
by csc, consists of Chairman Carl
Mcfarland, two past presidents of
the American Bar Willis
Smith and Joseph w. Henderson,
two state supreme court justices
Douglas Edmunds of California
and Laurence Hyde of Missouri
and a csc underling, Wilson Matt
hews. The two justices played little
or no part in the original dismissal
of the trial examiners, and Matt
hews is cipher in the situation.

the moment, special counsel for the

President Is Due Back
Today After Defense
Of Fair Deal Program
By Joseph A. Fox
Stor Staff CORRESPONDENT

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 6.-Presi-
dent Truman will fly back to
Washington today ending a swift
2,000-mile swing by air into the
industrial East and agricultural
Midwest, where he pledged anew
the administrations support to
labor and farmers in two hard
hitting Labor Day addresses, more
than TOO miles apart.
The talking marathon ended
late yesterday at Des Moines, Iowa.
when the President went before
the national convention of the
American Veterans of World War
II and predicted the 81st Congress
will pass new farm legislation in
cooperating modernized system
of price supports that would
square with the controversial
Brannan plan.
A few hours earlier in Pitts
burgh. he had been greeted with
cheers by an Allegheny County
fair crowd estimated at 100000,
when he forecast repeal Of the
unfair and restrictive" Taft
Hartley labor law.
Visits Home Town.
At the conclusion of the Des
Moines speech, Mr.. Truman
boarded his plane again for the
brief fight to Kansas City and
spent the night with home folks
at nearby independence. 1t was
his first visit there since Christmas.
He takes off from the airport at
Grandview, near the old Truman
farm, this afternoon and is ex-
pected to reach Washington
around pm.
Both of the Presidents speeches
were strictly of the l948 campaign
variety. And the attention he gave
to Congress led observers to think
that they might be getting a pre-
view of the stumping tour Mr..
Truman is planning for next year
after the primaries have been de-
cided. The President plans to take
to the road to plug for the election
OF Democrats in both Senate and
House for the 82d Congress.
Despite the tossing around his

as labor and civil rights and the

into action against the Republic
an controlled 80th Congress,
which he declared had sought to
destroy all the gains that farmers
and labor had won under Demo-
cratic rule.
Trend Is Being Reversed.
He asserted that the 8lst Con-
gress is reversing this trend as the
result of the efforts of new men,
bers elected last November.
In heavily unionized Pitts
burgh, where the audience could
be counted on to get the idea.
the President declared the Fair
Deal moves ahead. and blamed
1.-The selfish forces of reaction and
special privilege" for blocking ef-
forts to replace the Taft-Hartley
Act with a revised Wagner Act.
and for delaying action on such
items as health, education, social
security and expended housing
development. There was, how
ever, no reference to the ham,
