If the Administration was think
ing of an investigation in political
terms, then picking the FBI chief
for the job would seem like very
smart political move, on paper
anyway.
Hoover has the public's conf
dence as the best investigator in
the government. And his relations
with congress, where the admin
istration gets most of its cricitism,
have been extraordinarily good for
years.
So good, in fact, that of all those
now holding top jobs in this ad-
ministration Hoover probably
would have the best chance of
keeping his if the Republicans won
in November.
After all, it was the Republicans
who put him in his present job
back in 1920's and he was so able
the Democrats have kept him
l1eTe ever Since.
But by one of those same strange
twists which have made the whole
corruption investigation so re-
markable, Hoover's first assign
ment won't be investigating cor
ruption but investigating McGran-
cry.
AS Attorney General and head
of the Justice Department. Nc
Granery would be Hoover's boss,
but before the judge can have the
job he must be approved by the
senate.
And before the senate gets a
chance to approve, the senate's
judiciary committee must look him
over. 1t SO happens the committee
is headed by Senator McCarran
who, although he's a uelnocra.
from Nevada, is no friend of Tru-
mans.
And McCarran told Hoover, be-
fore the committee questions Nc

Build Your Own Private
World To Attain Success

Leland Hayward and playwright
Russell Grouse also were there to
view it. 1t is put on in toy
theatre-studio big enough to hold
only a dozen or so people.
The atmosphere was completely
informal. Tillstrom came in, said
hello, and quietly disappeared be-
hind a screen. Fran Allison lolled
comfortably in a chair. Then one
by one the puppets appeared on
the stage and began chatting with
Fran. When Ollie, the one-tooth
dragon came out, Krause said:
THAT Ollie-he's such a sweet
person"
It is this quality that gives the
show its appeal. The puppets not
only sturdily regard themselves as
people-they manage to make
everybody else feel that way about
them, too.
After half an hour or so of this
"warm-up" conversation, Burr and
Fran and the rest of the troupe
had a brief consultation about the
general pattern of the show. But
there was no written script, no
tense rehearsal. A few moments
later and the show went on-ad
lib and relaxed.
Later l talked with Burr. Like
many puppet masters he is shy
and rather less articulate than the
characters he has created. He pre-

asia Magazine case in 1915 when
McGranery was an assistant at
torney general.
So for some time to come the
publics attention may be diverted
from the problem Of the investiga-
ton of government corruption to
the investigatio.. of McGranery.
If McGranery finally passes his
examination, Hoover can start
pumping Tito him information on
government. corruption, if any. At
first the public NAV he startled by
Hoover's silence.
Then it will remember that
Hoover and the FBI never say
much about the dirt they uncover
since they never prosecute any
body for anything. It's not their
job.
Their job is to gather informa-
tion on wrongdoing and then turn
it over to the attorney general for
whatever action he, wants to take.
They generally leave it up to him
to make the public statements.
There's hardly any doubt that
Hoover has quite bale of infor-
nation on government employees in
his files. And it's sure that the
FBI never throws information
away.
1t has had the job of checking
up on government employees loyal
ty and in this one search alone it
must have accumulated a tidy
mine of material on government
we 'kers' morals, ethics and gen.
eral conduct which, while not
showing disloyalty, might still not
be praiseworthy.
All of which raises a question
which must be puzzling the FBI:
Just what is corruption and what
is the FBI supposed to look for?
Law violation? Surely. that's what
it's being paid for. But what of
ethics and morals p That covers
lot of territory and a lot of people.
And right at the start Hoover
has to work with one hand tied
behind his back. He told congress
q law which congress passed only
last summer prevents the FBI
from investigating the Internal
Revenue Bureau, where most of
the corruption has been disclosed.
Congress left that to the secret
service.
All in all things shouldn't be
dull around here.
