THE HIGHER
THE FEWER
There's Always Plenty of Room
At The Top
BY
NANCY J. MIDGETT

I've often heard the saying
dead but won't lie down" but
never heard, until the other eve
ming, anyone voice a comment
that implied that some were ly-
ing down in cemetery that
weren't dead, or so the tone of
voice used brought the implica-
ton to my ear, and rather per-
verified sense of humor. I was
rather belatedly cleaning up the
lot when small friend. visiting
her grandmother, Mrs. Minnie
Midget, came over to help.
She asked me why it was
wrong to walk on the graves of
people and told me that when
she was very young her mother
had stopped her walking on
them so she knew not to do it
now. answered that it was out
of respect for the dead;-people
that we or someone else had and
did love and as we hadn't walk
ed on them when they were
alive we felt that we owed it to
them not to do it now when they
couldn't raise objections. l don't
know if it was a very good ex-
PLANTATION but it gave her food
for thought and it was then that
she made the statement that set
me cackling inwardly but has
since given me food for thought,
tout of tn mouths of babes.
She gazed all round the cemetery
and gave a great sigh and an
nounced very solemnly There
are lot of people dead in here,
aren't there?" 1 was given the
feeling that most of the residents
thereof were alive and it was
great pity that some of them
were dead and it was all our
fault. It was weird and all arose
from the tone of voice as l said
before.
There is something peaceful
and communicative about
cemetery without being dismal
if you allow yourself to get in
the mood. Down in Devonshire
in England, and see the same
thing here in the smaller family
and community burial grounds,
there are what you might call
books of family history or the
titles to the books anyway in the
names and family relations
written in the tomb stones. Of
course if you have lived in the
community or know and have
read anything about the people
buried there, it can be even
more interesting. One of the
girls who worked in the Pru-
dental with us, Miss Boutell, l
believe was her name, traced her
family back to an old Devon
shire family, well known in its
heyday but spelt as far as l can
recall Beautell, which seems to
indicate that they came from
French or Norman stock. re-
member the church yard was
walled with the native grey
stone of Dartmoor and the dis
strict and shaded by old yew
trees, many, many hundred
years old. Some of the stones
were so worn that the writing
was practically worn away. But
there was rest there both above
and below ground and down be-
low the gray wall stretched the
green meadows to the waters
edge. Like the Devonshire cider
and their good clotted cream
there was a richness, but here of
spirit, in that little churchyard
which truly made it seem i'm
possible to think of folk as being
completely dead.

The use of wire-tap evidence In
Federal courts is now forbidden.
Years ago Mr.. Hoover stoutly
opposed the use Of wire tapping
by the FBI. Now he says: THE
FBI was the first agency to take
q stand against wire tapping. But
world conditions have changed
since that time. I'm Just as much
opposed to wire tapping as ever
except in cases of espionage,
sabotage, subversion and kidnap-
ping.
when the life Of the Nation
is at stake. then the sanctity
Of telephone communications
should not be extended to crimi-
mails. But even then wire tapping
should be most restricted"
Only . Few Wire Taps.

taps exceeded 200" And q tap is
made, he said, only after the At

Later in 1910, there was a
flare-up of criticism against the
FBI over the arrest Of persons
in Detroit in connection with re-
cruiting for Spanish Loyalists.
Senator George Norris of Ne

for the methods used in these

An FBI man familiar with the
raids (but not then with the
bureau) said: 1T was q pretty
gruesome proposition"
Mr.. Hoover prosecuted the de-
portation cases against some Of
the suspects and 249 were de-
ported to Russia aboard the s. s.
Buford, which was tagged as
"The Red Ark" For years after
ward, Mr.. Hoover's name was
linked with the raids. although
he protested that he had nothing
whatever to do with the raids
themselves and the manhandling
Of the suspects.
In 1910, Morris Katzef, q
Boston attorney who had helped
in the defense Of the suspected
anarchists, wrote to Mr.. Hoover
saying: II recalled that you had
nothing to do with the irregulari-
ties and harsh treatment of
aliens suspected of being Com
munist. :. and recalled hear
ing at which you deplored
as sincerely as we did the in

Mr.. Katzeff said he wrote
merely to set the record straight,
as he was one Of the few per-
sons still living who knew the.
facts of the case.
At the start of the first adj
ministration of President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, there were re-
ports that Senator Thomas
Walsh of Montana had said he
intended to throw Mr.. Hoover
out of Office when he (Walsh)
became Attorney General.
John Wattawa. a nephew Of
Senator Walsh and a. practicing
attorney here, gave this report
of the incident in an interview:
I'm making preliminary ar
rangementS to take over the De-
partment of Justice. Senator
Walsh did discuss the question of
reappointing Hoover as director
of the FBI. There was opposition
to Hoover because of stories
about the part he had played in
the Palmer raids. 3
Shortly before the Senator's
death-which came before he
could take office-I had dinner
with him. He told me he had de-
cided to reappoint Hoover as he
had found that Hoover had not
been personally responsible for
the abuses that occurred in the
raids and had been acting under
orders" :.

still command a place Of high

Over the years Mr.. Hoover has
run a gantlet of more criticism
and emerged with fewer scars
probably than any other man in
public service.
His is one of the strangest and
most absorbing stories in all Of
official Washington where "bu-
reaucrats" come and go - but
where Mr.. Hoover remains year

seems almost impregnable.
