regime Mr. Leonard, executive
secretary, said:
it has been erroneously re
garded in some quarters as a one- 1
man bureau, because at the outset
and until a permanent organiza
tion could be effected, its budget
was mainly provided by the Hon.
Frank A. Vanderlip.
it But Mr. Vanderlip was the
first to realize that so long as it
was so regarded it could not ac
complish its purpose as a citizens’
movement; for this reason, after
the adjournment of congress, he
voluntarily withdrew from any ac
tive participation in the work of
the bureau, and, while ready to
contribute to its maintenance, will
accept no place in its permanent
organization.
Started in February.
“The bureau came into exis

disclosures of corruption in high
places in the federal service.

that seasickness is caused by a

discomfort to some passengers.
