These defects stem from attitudes,

ACNAACNAs
It's ironic that only two years
ago there was such indignation
about vicuna coats, influence-ped-
ding and alleged attempts to
"fix" the regulatory agencies. Now
all this seems to be something out
Of the dim past.
But the regulatory agencies
sometimes known as the fourth
branch of government" because of
their virtually Imitless power
are here to stay. Their decisions
affect each Of US even in the most
remote corners Of the nation, long
after the scandals are forgotten.
The television programs you
hear, the safety Of your stocks and
bonds, how much monopoly" the
economy can stand, all these can
be changed, for better or worse,
by decisions Of the SEC, the FEC,
and the other alphabet agencies.
What Dean lands has done in
his report is to recount in vivid
language the slow deterioration of
these vital agencies. During the
Truman and Eisenhower years
they were steadily packed with
party hacks; but these are such
diffClSe and faceless branches Of
government that their decline has
made no impression on the nation

trips, favors and payment Of hotel
