THE CIVILIAN branches of government ‘are well | equipped, too.

IN THE FIRST world war a single federal agency, | headed by George Creel, handled all the propaganda and |
all the censorship and all the public relations, including
liberty bond drives and salvage campaigns and everything |
else. During the 19 months of that war this agency
spent just under $5,000,000, probably about the cost of one |
week's propaganda today. : No one has ever been able to figure out just how much
it does cost us now. The military part defies detection be- | cause these men are paid out of the same kitty as the men | who took the beach on lwo Jima or dropped the fire bombs | on Tokyo, and the figures aren't broken down by jobs. The |
civilian bureaus conceal a lot of their costs under fancy titles to evade a law covering the subject, but conservative estimates put that at around $150,000,000 a year. wants to spend-$42,000,000 this coming year. The Seventh War Loan quota for Indianapolis is $33,000,000. The sergeant was right. It certainly is.
MRS. ROOSEVELT VICTIMIZED
OST businesses have recently been forced to clear new
employees through the U. S. employment service, and | every effort has been made to force all possible employment |
through that single agency. They -haven't received much sympathy when thev complained that they didn’t always get what they wanted.
Just recently Mrs. Roosevelt—a trusting soul who | has given active and sympathetic support to such agencies |
—revealed one of the reasons. by personal experience.
Her eyes had been opened
In her daily column she told of the theft of her auto |
by a new employee, who took it on a joyride that ended iff four deaths, two injuries and destruction of the car. “I had determined to use the U, S. employment service
because they are the agency through which our returned
servicemen are supposed to get jobs,” she wrote.
It turned out that the U. S. employment service hadn't | investigated the young man and that he had given a phony |
name and address. ss x = : 4 u's “IT SEEMS to me that a government agency should | be given sufficient appropriations to do its job on a hasis which really services both the employee and the employer,” wrote Mrs. Roosevelt—still the trusting soul.
Evidently she, too, hadn't made an: investigation to |
determine whether the -agency's rank failure to.perform even the most elemental duties of an employment agency was due to lack of funds or just plain carelessness.
As a matter of fact, it’s easy and cheap to check such |
matters. Such cards as draft registration, driver's license, social security card and the like are used daily by the postoffice, banks and other institutions for identification, lefer- | ences cah be checked by a form letter—and the USES has | [ree postage. ment agency.

These figures show that it is no longer necessary | to marry the publisher's daughter to get an overseas | assignment. The slogan now is: “Join the OWI and | see the world.”
About a year ago the OWI staged quite a recr ulte] {
ing campaign, starting a minor stampede out of the newspaper offices, and even this month, it was advertising in Pittsburgh: “Trained newspapermen and |
women who would like to have jobs in Europe on a |
foreign language newspaper will be interviewed by a representative of the office of war information.”
OWI Is a Little Vague THAT'S TEMPTING bait, to say the least. newspapermen and women would like to have jobs in | Europe.

that is just what a newspaper wage slave needs, or |

Of course, OWI is a little vague on what its boat- | | load of journalists is doing—especially since President | ’ | Truman stepped on the scheme of Philip C. Hamblet, |
roll his own Not much has been heard out of Mr. Hamblet since then. Perhaps he has decided, like another Hamlet, that “I am too much i’ the sun.”
One congressman who returned from Europe re-
| ported that he'd heard a good deal about the OWI .in
London but; as far as he could gather, its personnel did most of its work in the cocktail lounges. Which throws interesting light on the talents of our profession, inasmuch as the OWI recruiters were careful to spécify—with a sly wink at the’ war manpower | commission—that “applications will be limited to those not now working at their highest skill.” After | | all, it requires a pretty high degree of skill to cover a war from the American bar at the Savoy. Only a { man of some capacity can do that. And it's nice { work if you can get it.
Not All the Boys Have Stuck
IT'S GRIEVING to note, however, that of these near-ideal working conditions, not -all the boys have stuck to the last. At lease one who'd always had a yen to be a war reporter but had been unable to sell .the front office on the idea—f; ront | offices being: notoriously allergic to spending the Jone | of dough it takes to send a correspondent overseas— | enlisted in Mr. Hamlet's deathless battalion.

7 SAN FRANCISCO, May 28.—To that California Democratic leaders are delighted with the way things are working out in Washington puts it mildly. President Truman's scheduled visit to San Frans cisco to close the United Nations conference gives the whole West a chance for better acquaintance, Truman -made a vice presidential campaign speech here last year, but it attracted little attention and so did he. But as President," with both the war and the peace efforts centered on the Pacific and with three good westerners named to -the cabinet, thé West, is getting a political lift such as it has not had in years. " » Already requests are belie wade % have Presi= dent Truman put in a few political appearances on the side. . Older heads in the Democratic organization are counseling against too much of a purely political party celebration. They realize that Truman is still in his political honeymoon and too much partisan whoopee might be a bad thing. An effort will be made to have Truman see many of the party stale warts on his western trip, but do it in such a way that no appearance will be given that the President is playing politics. There will be plenty of time for that later on, when the honeymoon is over. “
See Bright Future for Party BUT THERE seems to be no inclination to feel that the future of the Democratic party died with Roosevelt. In fact, just the opposite. While Roosevelt kept a number of diverse West Coast elements inside the Democratic party, there was always a lot of factional jealousy. And it was not at all uncommon to have various individuals going around the state party leaders to take issues direct to the White House. All this era of short circuiting state political mae

“CHILDISH AND UNWORLDLY VIEWPOINT”

Just for the records, let me remind The Watchman that the present Russian government is a result -of a people's revolution the same as our form of government lis a result of a people's revolution. [We still believe in people choosing their own form of government, just as long as that government or that

First, | people who are responsible for their | own medical bills are more careful | about living sensibly and sanely. And those of us who may not have gotten quite all the breaks regarding heredity, sound constitutions, etc, need more than any other group of people to learn to stand on our own two feet. Chronic invalidism is a’ mental state, and! anyone who has fought his or her| tedious why physical health knows that is true. | Secondly, why should Mr. and Mrs. Average Taxpayer be strapped with all the woes of the entire population? Is it cricket that thinking] people who take care of their families and who use good sense in avoiding illness or curbing it when! it does develop, should have to pay the freight for the ones who do not | give a darn where, when or how they live?

More than anything on earth, folks need to use their initiative, and to gladly assume responsibility for |
| what happens to them as indi- |
viduals.
Pre-paymerit plans for medical care certainly should and are being extended. They are moderate in cost (no, I do not sell anything) and very much so when compared to what another alphabetical gov- | ernment agency would cost. NYA,

Henry Wallace.and the extreme left-wingers are considered as good as dead by the regular Democrats, If this is true, only place the New Dealers can go is into a third party, for the regulars hope that the day is over when some irregular could lead the state Democrats into new and untried paths. In 1932 it was William G. McAdoo who did this. In 1936 it was Upton Sinclair. In 1938 it was John Olson, and it was 1942 before the regulars began to get things under control. Even though Republican Ear] Warren was elected governor that year, Democrats now count heavily on the tradition that no California governor has ever heen elected for a second term, with the exception of Hi Johnson.
Democrats Have 17-6 Edge
NATIONALLY, the California Democrats gained five congressional seats in 1944 to give them a repree sentation of 17, to six Republicans. Washington representation is. of course, important, but what the California Democrats would particularly like to see is recognition of their own machine here in the West. There are over 150 federal agencies with state or regional headquarters here in San Frane cisco. Key personnel in many of these agencies don's even know each other. If western Democrats could get a deputy Judge Vinson established here to serve as what State Attore ney General Bob Kinney calls “a great oilcloth shoule der” on which they could all ery whenever problems of particular interest to the West come up, it would | make a great many people happy.

{IN WASHING TON—
Tempest | By Charles T. Lucey
{- WASHINGTON, May 28.—Fear that the move to provide congressmen a $2500 tax-free expense fund { might blow up into another | “Bundles for Congress” tempest
from hasty action on the proposal. “The public didn’t have one-tenth as much reason | to be outraged over the pensions-for-congress idea as it has on this matter,” Senator Johnson (D. Colo.) charged. » “I think this is more flagrant than the pension | pla because of the disguise that is involved in it, We have frozen people into jobs and kept them from | getting pay increases, and now it's proposed to come | out and fix one up for ourselves.” The senator said that if congress seeks an increase | at the end of the wage stabilization period he believes | the people would find no fault with it, but that “ine dulging in sharp practice now is another thing.”
Urge Closer Study of Proposal THE HOUSE has approved the expense fund ag an amendment to the legislative appropriation act, | but Senators Barkley (D. Ky.), Byrd (D. Va.), Taft | (R. 0.), Morse (R. Ore.) and others have either | opposed the action or urged a halt until the senate has a better opportunity to study it. Senator Overton (D. La.) spearheaded the ate tempt to get senate approval of the increase, and Friday he and other senate appropriations subcome mittee members met with house members to try to find a solution which might be less objectionable. The house members were reported to have stood pat on the house action, suggesting that it was up to the senate to work out its own plan, Now the whole matter is before the senate appropriations subcome mittee. This committee had approved the. house-spon« sored idea of a special expense fund for the cone gressmen adding a specific provision that the $2500 would not be subject to taxation.
Provision Brings Extreme Criticism THIS PROVISION brought extreme criticism from some senators, who insisted congressmen had no right to set themselves apart from the people by providing a fund on which no accounting would be necessary for tax purposes. Senator Johnson has announced that he will obe ject to the proposal when it comes up on the ground that it is legislation on an appropriation measure, prohibited by senate and house rules. If his objec tion is sustained, it would require a two-thirds vote to keep the amendment in the bill. Senator John son said he doubted that proponents of the bill could get the two-thirds needed. 3 Numerous compromises have been suggested. One at the $2500 be granted as a straight salary ine crease subject to taxes. Another Is that the Little Steel formula. be followed, providing a straight 15 per cent increase, which would bring congressional salaries to $11,500. Many senators who agree that present day costs justify more money for members object to the expense fund method of providing it.
'Innovation' in the Tax Laws SENATOR BYRD contended that by providing a tax-free fund. the proposal is an “innovation” in the tax laws and, by providing lump-sum deductions, even might destroy the income tax law,
