No. 2G2 earriREi nmm$ fage Nys II DILLINGERS 'MOB' By PA I' I, MAI.LON Copyright, 1D34, by rani Mallon Graft WASHINGTON, Jan. 38. News readers must think Washington has gone 6tark mad. Hero the administration Is beating Its breast and charging Itself with corruption, graft and bad politics. And there Is conp-eess yawning about It. NotWng like that ever happened before. The normBl procedure la for an administration to maintain It Is purer than the driven snow, while congress throws soot wildly all around the place. The change Is startling, but not without reason. In fact, there ap pears to be a rather definite method behind this madness. Reasons In some respects it is tfie shrewd est strategy yet devised under the new deal. I The charges of graft and politics made by the public works and civil works administrators against their outfits are notably unspeclflc. Pub lic mention Is given only In minor cases. Other more serious cases are supposed to exist but are not being advertised. The breast beating strengthens public confidence In officials at the top and frightens the petty grafters at the bottom. The activities of the petty fellows are hard to prove. Also It takes the wind out of the sails of such Republicans as Senator Arthur Robinson, who haa been at tracting attention by making similar charges against the administration. That makes it about a 100 per cent logical Democratic move. It la precisely the same strategy followed by Mr. Roosevelt in the budget. He made it look so bad that he left his opponents nothing to say , about' -H. - - - Congress Tiie strangest aspect Is the refusal of congress to start Investigating all this grsft. The explanation for that Is the real meat In the cocoanut. Congressmen live off the fat of federal expenditures. There Is not a Democrat, Republican or moron In congress who wants to do anything to Interfere with the distribution of federal funda to constituents In his home district. He wants his people to get all the PWA and CWA money they can. He will be tfie last one to rock the boat, while they are get ting It. That situation can be expected to continue so long as the money lasts. ItPMlIt! Tills underlying feeling Is notice able In senate and home debate nearly every day. When the Republican Robinson made his attack on federal expendi tures. Democratic Pat Harrison asked him If he was opposed to bulldog postofflces In his home state of In diana: If he wanted Vie CWA to al lot less money for Indiana. v The Indlanan avoided a direct an swer by saying he did not wish to be diverted from his subject. Republican Representative Fred Britten (a big navy man) chlded the Democrats for expenses In the house this -eek. A baby Democrat from Texas turned Britten around by ask ing If he favored smaller appropria tions for the navy. Britten had to confess he did not. The Democrats seem to have the Republicans Just where they want them on the expenditures Issue. Trust The cornip' dealing In relief ex penditures seems to be no more, and probably It Is less, than was antici pated. Mflsrs. Ickes and Hopkins have the confidence of nearly everyone. The feeling aeema to be general that If Ickes has erred In public works It has been on the side of too much caution. No one could spend all the money he and Hopkins are spending without being victimized by unde tected graft of a minor nature all along the line. Reporta Indicate that state polltl clana In some Instances have played politics with distribution of CWA funds. The method of distribution Is so Involved that there are more eases of absurdities than there art of grsft. In one Instance a high school grad uate In mechanical drawing received sn architect's allowance from the CWA. He read the funny papers for several weeks until someone asked him to design something and then It was discovered he was not an architect. Also he had a letter from his senator which .he used to Ret on the CWA payroll In the first place. Market The stock market boys have not been worrying very much about leg islation. They expect congress will pass a simple general proposal for licensing exchanges under an Indefi nite federal overlorrishlp. Vnder that arrangement the ex changes themselves will be held re sponsible for protecting tie public. The government would NOT try to make specific rules requiring so much msrgtn, etc. Sudh legislation would probably bring very little, if any, change in the existing rcrre,ted rules of the tCcntiuuevl ou fci.'nt) i i $36,000 in Cash, $12,000 in Diamonds Recovered Three Women Taken As Material Witnesses GARY, Ind., Jan. 26.
