Contributions to this column
must be confined to 300 words
and signed by writer
To the Editor: Since the Oregon
Commonwealth Federation seems to
be the favorite editorial target of
your publication, we try to read
what you write with more devotion
than we are able to give to most
papers. (Otherwise, I assure you, we
have done little to Increase your
circulation.) We usually read your
editorial blasts, post them on our
bulletin board, and nothing more.
Your editorial of Wednesday, how
ever, entitled "Busy Travelers," con
tained in Its two paragraphs such
an amazing succession of Inaccura
cies that I am moved to call them
to your attention.
Your opening statement that I
have Just been to Washington, D. C,
was correct. There then followed,
however, the following statements
which would seem to Indicate that
your writer neglected his homework
in his search for fact:
1. Assistant Attorney Genera
Norman Llttell Is not and never has
been connected with the Washing
ton Commonwealth Federation, and,
in fact, Is Identified with those who
oppose that organization.
a. You state that both Llttell
(whose name you misspell) and
Commonwealth President S. Steph
enson Smith have been appointed to
new deal "sinecurles" (sic.) Presi
dent Smith neither has nor does
hold any new deal appointment but
is an official of the American 6o
clety of Composers, Authors and
Publishers.
3. You then nominate Senator
Harry M. Kenln to be WPA admin
istrator for Oregon, and state that
this was one of the objectives of mv
visit to Washington. Now that you
mention it, senator Kenln wouldn't
be a bad choice, since he would pro
bably put considerable humanity in
to the WPA administration, but I
saw no one In this connection while
in Washington, and Seator Kenln
is In no sense a candidate for this
position.
But to the last statement in your
editorial we cannot take exception:
The Commonwealth Federation
would like to see the leadership of
the democratic party really begin
to represent the progressive-New
Deal-Roosevelt sentiment of the
part"3 own rank and file.
Sincerely yours,
MONROE SWEETLAND,
Executive Secretary.
