THE GREAT
GAME OF
POLITICS
Washington Report
BY United States Senator
Herbert X. 0'COnOr

A President in the kind Of jam Mr..
Truman is, and prodded into action
repugnant to his soul, perhaps may
be pardoned if he did not see the full
implications of his efforts to eXtricate
himself. His selection of Judge Thorn
as F. Murphy to head a commission
to clean up the corruption with which
the Administration is saturated is an
example The reported withdrawal by
Judge Murphy of his acceptance
knocks the bottom out of good plan
which is good thing.
Judge Murphy is an honest and able
man whose record in the Hiss case
and more recently as police commits
sioner was extremely good. He con-
victed Mr. Hiss and vigorously shook
up the graft-ridden New York Police
Department. Asked by the President
who appointed him judge to leave the
bench for an indefinite time to clear
up the rottenesS in Washington, only
part of which has been revealed, as
suredly this was a job Mr. Murphy
did not want. But, it was exceedingly
difficult for him to refuse a personal
plea from the President to whom he
owed the judicial position he wants
to hold.
See, now. the position in which Mr..
Truman had placed the judge. First,
he had violated the principle to which
many thousands of thoughtful citi-
zens-and nearly all judges-sub-
scribe, that Presidents should not de-
tach Federal Judge from his judicial
duties-particularIy to deal with a
problem tinged with politics True
Mr.. Roosevelt twice set precedent
by detaching justices of the Supreme
Bench for nonjudicial assignments.
He did this against strong protest in
one case by the late Chief Justice
Stone, and in neither case did the re-
suits justify his action. 1t was hoped
that with his passing this practice
had ended
! In the second place, the odds were
against Judge Murphy doing this job
in way to satisfy Mr. Truman, the
i Republican party, all Democrats, or
the country as a whole 1t is all very
we'll for Mr. Truman to say you have
free hand and "let the chips fall
where they may" In the name of
! heaven, what else could he say? How
could he expect Judge Murphy or
! anyone else to touch the job if he
didn't say, at least, that? How would
the public react if he did not make
some such proclamation But, one
very clear fact was that the circum-
stances are such that Judge Murphy
could not have a wholly free hand at
all. For example, many persons firmly
believe-and with reason-the basic
cause of rottenness here is the incur
able tendency of Mr.. Truman to sur
round himself with second and third
grade men, who, in turn, pick fourth
and fifth grade men for minor Federal
posts and go into the "inhuence bust
ness" The President has lot of
the close to hm-"fve precenters, -
deep freeze boys" ''mnk coat re-
ccivers" and Influence peddlers. .

convention Of the Maryland Farm
Bureau in Baltimore, Mr.. Kline and
other speakers warned Of the dangers
of sacrificing personal liberties in the
name Of economic security.
Wilson A. Heaps, Maryland Farm
Bureau president, maintained that
"for every ounce of security we get
from the Government, we give a
pound Of freedom in return"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1952-01-17

Mr. Kline spoke against temporary
restrictions that tend to become
habits, and against the idea Of con-
trolled food prices.
He termed production and not con-
trolls as the answer to imitation. He
denied that farmers of America
formed the strongest lobbying block
in Washington but said the Federal
Government was the strongest bloc.

The heads of an organization
which represents 1900 city gov

cities how to get more money
but couldn't agree on the method

cations Executive Board wound
up it's meeting by turning the
problem over to another commit

The board said the revenue
plan would be ready by December
Il. when the association conven-
ton opens in Los Angeles.
The committeeman opened their
two-day session at the Hotel
Statler yesterday. One faction
presented a five-point program
that ran into strong opposition.
The program asked:
81. The Federal Government
shall assume all the financial bur-
dens placed on communities where
military installations or Atomic
Energy Commission projects COM
lpletely overwhelm entire cities OF
areas -.
20. The Federal Government
should consider prevailing salary
and wage scales in various geog-
Iraphic areas and devise a means
of making Federal compensation
harmonic more closely with local
and regional levels.
IS. :. the Federal Government
needs consistent policy through
out the legislative and executive
branches so that some groups will
not be favored by price supports
and others penalized by fixed
prices.
-. Wherever the Federal Gov
|ernment imposes burdens on in
|dividual localities, it should COM
|pensate them fully for such finan-
cial burdens.
IS. Congress should pass legiS-
lation at once to provide for pay
|ments-in-lieu of taxes on Federal
real estate and to make clear that
contractors and subcontractors are
subject to State and local taxes"
The following mayors are
among those on the executive
board: A. E. Cobo. Detroit, presi-
dent of the American Municipal
Association and chairman of this
meeting; William B. Hartsfield
