Mr. Hickard stressed farmer

pany in New England to put on
the payrolls and give two years'
back pay to men who had never
worked for the company. It even
tried once to force another com
pany to hire the son of a man
I who worked for the company. The
| Board contended in this second
case that if the company did not
give a job to the youngster, it
I would be discriminating aginst his
! father because his father happen-
1 ed to belong to a union.
Several other agencies have
: done much the same thing. And
now the ghost has arrived.
The ghost is the so-called Wal
ter-Logan bill. It would establish
procedure under which Courts
could determine these agencies in
their rules and regulations and
orders had exceeded the power
which Congress sought to grant to
them. That is all it means: That
the rules and orders and regula
tions could be taken into courts
for a ruling as to whether they
went too far.
It would be natural to assume
that only those who feared they
might have gone too far would be
afraid of the ghost. But today,
one of Washington’s stiffest lob
bying campaigns is conducted on
Capitol Hill by government em
ployees who are afraid.
This bill was presented to Con
gress by men who thought that a
stopping point should be drawn
somewhere. They noticed the ten
dency of the government agencies
to assume more and more au
thority.

WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
Like Banquo’s ghost, sins of the
past have come back to haunt a
number of Washingtonians. The
ghost spends most of his time
hanging around headquarters of
the new bureaus and boards and {
commissions which regulate every
thing from what a farmer plants:
■
to wages paid a clerk.
The haunted agencies are mostly
new ones. They were set up to
administer new laws. The offi
cials read the laws a couple of
times and reached a peculiar con
clusion: That they had the power
to do nearly anything that the
law did not specifically forbid
them to do.
Take the Labor Board as an
example. It had the authority
under the law to direct employ
ers to re-hire men whom they
might have fired because of union
activities. The law did not say
anything about forcing employers
to hire men who had never work
ed for them.
Yet the Board has tried to do
just that. It instructed one com-
the old governor's mansion. now
used as the president's home of
the Georgia State College for
Women, and the old capito, it
self - used as P art of neighboring
Georgia Military College. Great
interest has been aroused in the
annual affait, and the number of
1 ”““■«< »,

The HOLC has just reported a loss
of $5,178,000 . on properties it fore
closed in the Omaha, Nebraska,
area alone. Th.s includes Colo
rado, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas,
Nebraska, and North and South
Dakota. Losses in some other
areas were much heavier.
There is honesty in the world
after all. Two WPA workers, suf
fering from conscience trouble,
sent anonymous checks for $72.54
to the Treasury. One said that he
wasn’t “on the job” and his con
science simply refuses to be trifled !
with . The other confessed that
the money was accepted for serv
i ces not “fully and completely”
,
rendered.
