at all? I won't labor this point except
to say that when the President-any
President designates one member
as chairman, that member immediate
ly assumes he has more authority
over every phase of the commission
than the other members have. AS
matter of fact, he does, usually, as
far as handling routine administra-
tive and personnel affairs is con-
cerned.
CHAIRMANITIS A DISEASE
"This usually leads to several
abuses. among them a disease / have
called chairmanitis. 1t is a feeling
that the boss knows best and has a
right to look upon his colleagues, who
are in law at least his equals, as hired
hands. He begins to direct their votes
on controversial issues. Too much
independence, which should be the
nub of service in the public interest
on these quasi-judicial commissions,
frequently is frowned upon by chair
men, who are appointed by the Presi-
dent, rather than rotated among the
members themselves.
"5. No member of any public COM
mission should have a monopoly on
the services and aid of the permanent
staff. This happens too often, in
advertently or not, when the Presi-
dent designates the chairman.
81 could go on, but I think l have
cited enough cogent reasons, based
on practical experience, to encourage
you and your committee to wipe out
at least some gross abuses and the
lack of sound concepts of public serv-
ice that leads to these abuses.
Sincerely,
''John NJ. Carmody".

knew him first during the dark
days of the Great Depression, when,
as a public service he was helping
unemployed men make work for
themselves-and make it pay, too.
His regular job then was editing a
national management engineering
journal. Before that he had been,
among other things, production and
labor relations manager in a large
industry, and head of steel mill.
His government assignments have
included: member of the National
Mediation Board, of the National La

administrator of the Rural Electrifi-

"These regulatory commissions" he
says, "were set up initially by the
Congress, usually after a demonstra-
tion that the consumer needs, some
sort of protection. 1t was this need
which brought about establishment
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the Federal Communications

SPEAKS FROM EXPERIENCE

SPEAKS FROM EXPERIENCE
Out of his vast experience Carmody
speaks modestly, but for those who
know his background his suggestions
have the ring of authority. His letter
to Chairman Harris follows:
"Dear Congressman Harris:
without going into all the rami-
fications of the problems faced by
your committee, may l make a COM
ment or two out of experience? I
hvae no axe to grind. l am out of
business.
81 think it is a serious mistake to
provide in the laws or otherwise for
the President to designate the chair
man of any commission created by
the Congress. I say this in spite of
the fact that President once offered
me the craftsmanship of two indie
pendent agencies not named among
those that | served on. 1t is enough
that he select the members of such
''The Craftsmanship should rotate
the members. No man or
woman should be appointed to any
Of those commissions in the first
place, if he or she is not thought to
be competent to head the commission
with dignity and honor in turn.
"This method would of itself. it
seems to me, do several things:
81. 1t should lead to better selection
in spite of pressure from national
or desire to take care of
anne ducks.
"2. 1t should lead to closer scrutiny
