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)

Positive Identification Made
By Victim in Dramatic
Court Room Recital of
Abuse While Held Prisoner
CHICAGO. Jan. 26. (AP) John
Paotor today Identified Roger Touhy
and two cordefendants as the men
who kidnaped him for ransom last
July. His face trembling. Factor three
times stepped down from the witness
stand, walked dramatically across the
courtroom and pointed out Gustav
(Gloomy Gus) Schaefer, and Albert
(Polly Nose) Kator, and finally
Touhy. 1
The four defendants slouched down
in their chairs, and all except Touhy
gazed at the floor. Touhy looked
squarely back into Factor's face with
a sneer.
Factor said Touhy was the man
who stood before him, partly shield
ing himself with a blanket, and com
manded him to write a letter to be
used In making ransom negotiations.'
Kator Was Kind
He said he saw Kator, "the only
kidnaper who was kind to me." as
he was changing the 'bandages or.
his eyes on the first night of his
captivity. Schaefer. Factor said, was
one of the squad of four men who
actually took htm prisoner.
Factor made the identification at
various points In his narrative of the
kidnaping, a story of mental and
physical cruelty during which the
kidnapers cursed him. threatened to
"blow out your brains" and to "cut
off an ear and send it to your wife
as a souvenir."
The man who talked to him most,
who used the most abusive language
and tactics, Factor said, was Touhy.
He sb id the kidnapers refused to
mall letters to his family and friends,
and that Touhy said when he made
such a request:

government) In on this. Wo can fix

a breakdown, as he told of the cruelty
of his captors.
He said he told them he would do

Producers in Warning
By CLAYTON V. BKRMIARD
Associated Press Staff Writer
SALEM, Ore, Jan. 26. (AP) Op
position to the recent order of the
new state milk commission setting
the price at cents la Portland was
brought to the attention of Oovsrnor
Julius L. Meier by an emphatic com
munication from a score of dairymen
In and near Forest Grove, It was
learned by the Associated Press her
today.
"We shall find some means of con
tinuing to market our milk In Port
land as we have done in yeara," and
"take notice that we, as citizens and
taxpayers of Oregon, will rebel against
any order which in any manner places
us under any kind of relationship
with the co-op." These were soms
of the statements made by this group
in bringing to the attention of the
chief executive the "injustices of the
new milk ordors."
Milk War feared
This protest was the first to be
made against either the milk orders
or the new agricultural codes now
being worked out, and it was be
lieved by state officials this cry may
develop Into a milk war unless the
commission takes some action. It
waa learned the governor would turn
the matter over to Max Oehlbar, di
rector of agriculture, for preliminary
investigation, to report directly to the
executive.
The communication to Governor
Moler, signed by Oeorge Oppcnlander,
declared that the milk board waa
injuring the producers of fluid milk
w.'io supply the Portland market, end
"If you Icavo it go long enough it
will wreck the dairy Industry." A
, review of the letter waa secured
through authentic sourcos. The ex
ecutive office was silent on the mat
ter. Consumption Kails
The letter said the board was need
lessly raising the prlco of milk which
had reduced the consumption and
Vie aurplua was dumped over Into
the butter market and In that 'the
foolish action of this board hurts
both ths fluid milk producers and
the producers who furnish butterfat
to Vie creameries for butter manu
facture. The dairymen havo had a
terrible time and It only lakes a
little more to lose their homca and
completely pauperize our farmers."
Oppenlander waa chairman of ths
meeting held at Forest Orovo a week
ago at which these sentiments were
expressed.
The milk commission set the price
at 9 cents a qusrt ,and the Forest
Grove people Informed they could
furnlah It for 7 cents as In the psst.
In the meantime the board was hold
ing hearings In other parte of the
atate establishing prices for which
milk may be aold. It was ststed
other groups also would protest the
orders.
