Interior Secretary Chapman to-

The interesting story Of the

Chapman, then a young Denver
lawyer. caught the fancy OF the
newly elected President Franklin
D. Roosevelt.

a Government job. Mr.. Chapman
said he would prefer to become

cause it's duties involved the prob
lens of his own region. But

cratic national chairman, said this
job already had been offered to
Ia Montanan named Harry B.
Mitchell.
An hour later, Mr.. Farley called
up Mr.. Chapman and offered him
the job as chairman, Of the Civil
Service COMMISSIONS job which
at that time paid more than the
assistant secretaryship Of Interior.
However. Mr.. Chapman sug-
gested that Farley offer the Civil
Service Commission post to the
man from Montana" Mr..
Mitchell, "the man from Mon
tana," agreed to the swap and
has remained as the chief Of the
commission to this day. And Mr..
Chapman remained at Interior.

last Friday in refusing to give
the House Rules Committee its

AS a result of the Houses

MOSCOW. July 81. Pravda
lauded United States Communist
leaders yesterday for coming out
against intervention in Korea, but
chided them for lack of vigilance
which it said allowed the FBI to
send spies into their ranks.
The Communist Party news

try there is no other political
party of the working class which
upholds its interests"
Pravda asserted that the party
is growing in strength in Ameri-
ca despite persecution" by the
FBI and the Federal and State
governments.
(FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover told Congress June 8
there are 54,174 known Com
munist Party members in the

Pravda admitted American
Communists had relaxed their
guard and blamed this for the
FBI's sending agents into their
ranks. some of whom later gave
