Communists Claim ‘Independent’ Coinmities Is Theirs

But New Director Believes It Is Not.

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 29.—The old curmudgeon landed on his | feet and in the money .when he stormed out of his Cabinet Job as

secretary of ‘mterior.

The old curmudgeon is Harold L. Ickes. Standing beside him, and | also in the money, is James Roosevelt, eldest son of the late President. | They are well paid political organizers,

Mr. Ickes is executive chairman and Mr. Roosevelt is national director of political organization for the independent citizen's committee of the arts, sciehces and professions. Both get substantial salaries for their efforts among an estimated 9,000,000 to 10,000,000 independent voters,

The Independent citizen's committee is the subject just now of considerable discussion among po-

tion is whether the committee is or is not a Communist front organization. Mr. Ickes obviously believes it is not. Communists Claim It The Communists, on the other hand, claim the I. C. C. as their baby. The claim is.a matter of] record. It was made in August, 1945, | at the New York state convention | of the Communist Political associa-|

When he first | took the job it was at $20,000 a| year. When he joined the cabinet | as postmaster general, Hannegan ceased to draw his $20,000 committee salary and took the $15,000 gov- | ermment salary instead. He does, | however, have a committee ex-| pense account. He won't be mak- | ing as much as the old curmudgeon |

Mr. Ickes announced acceptance of the committee's executive .chairmanship on March 10, He also has signed a contract for a syndicated column. Estimates of his prospec-| tive column income range around | $30,000 to $50,000 a year. The National Press Club was buzzing last | night with gossip that Mr. Ickes! also had a fat salary from the committee. One of his close associates had been talking and let it slip. Substantial Sum | Your corréspondént telephoned the former cabinet official today to ask how about it. “Well over $25,000 is what is be-

was told. No,” he replied. *Is it a substantial sum?” { *Yes, a substantial sum,” Ickes weplied, “I get something and I don't see why that is an item of interest. I can't give my time and strength to an enterprise like this without compensation.” He explained that he was put to some expense in his new job—a considerable staff and the like of that. Jimmy Paid, Too “Does the staff come out of your | salary?” { “Well, some of it does,” he re-| plied. “How about Jimmy? Is he on for | a substantial salary, too?” Mr. | Ickes said Mr. Roosevelt also was] well paid and repeated that he| could not see why there would be | any interest in such facts. It’ was suggested to him that there always was interest in the salaries of men in political jobs—such as chairman of the Democratic national committee. | “Yes,” Mr. Ickes replied, “The Democratic chairman gets a salary and ‘is a member of the cabinet, too. I never did. I just had .my/ little old $15,000 cabinet salary nol
