Attack on Marshall

McCarthy's tactics.
There are many ways to de-
stroy people-sometimes by out
right murder, sometimes through
the process of attrition," declared
Humphrey. 81 mean character as
sassination, Misrepresentation and
quoting out of context. This is the
most inhumane way"
! The senator from Minnesota sug-
gested that the Democrats had only
two Observation-Disclosures stand up
and fight back which is almost i'm
possible to do when Mccarthy con-
trolls the floor, or remove ourselves
from the scene of the unsavory con-
duct"
However, Sen. Lyndon John
son of Texas favored sending in
a conservative southern Demo-
crat to hit back at Mccarthy.
Anyone else who tried it would
be branded as a Communist by
Mccarthy, Johnson observed.
He suggested George of Georgia
or Byrd of Virginia, since Mar
shall lives in Virginia and Byrd
made the original motion in IA
vor Of Marshall's nomination.
However, Mcmahon of Connecticut
warned that it was an "impossibility
trying to debate with Mccarthy,
because you never can pin him to
the facts of the issue"
He added that Marshall had
stature enough to withstand the Nc
earthly blast and suggested that the
McCarthyites had lost the Mac
Arthur fight, and McCarthy's attack
on Marshall was "a deliberate at
tempt to gain the offensive again.
Serving Two Masters
The next government agency to
get in hot water with congress may
be the securities and exchange COM
mission, which policies Wall Street
and the big corporations.
The SEC is the only agency which
has failed to answer QUESTIONABLE,
sent out by alert Pennsylvania Con-
gresham Francis Walter, asking
for the names of employees who had
given up their government jobs to
work for the same companies which
they once regulated when they were
government officials.
The manner in which some Off
Gals have used their government po-
sitions to do favors for private COM
panies, then have gone to work for
the same companies at higher SAL
aries, is a national scandal.
Probable reason why the SEC
Is keeping silent is that the an
swers would be embarrassing.
For example, SEC would have
to tell how 1t reversed a rec
ommendation to dissolve the
United Corporation, after sew
eral former SEC employees
were hired by United.
Organized by ]. P. Morgan, United
Corporation is giant holding COM
pany which gives Wall Street bank
ers control over several power and
electric companies. In 1912 the SEC
staff recommended dissolving this
parent corporation under the hold
ing company act and on the grounds
that it served no useful purpose ex-
cept to perpetuate banker control.
However, the bankers turned
round and hired several SEC off
Gals, including some who had
worked on the very recommends
ton to dissolve the United Corpora
ton. First to move over to United
was William M. Hickey, who had
been assistant director of SECS
public utilities division. Suddenly in
April, 1913, he became president
of United Corporation.
In addition, John J. Burns,
SEC counsel in the early days,
became United's senior coun-
sci; E. Carey Kennedy, ex-SEC
analyst, became vice president
of the company; and Edward
Roll, formerly minor SEC
official became assistant to
United's president.
Following this, the SEC strangely
had change of heart and did not
dissolve the United Corporation.
Last year, a new proceeding was
initiated, but again the bankers
resorted to the same tactics, and
SECS counsel in charge OF the
public utilities division legal staff,
Harry Slater, overnight became as
sistant counsel of Uniteds chief sub
sidiary.
