The life of a government worker is aupposed to be one of east and poverty. Walt Whitman liked It because It fur nished .the Ideal serenity required for poetic com placency. That was before the new deal. If whitman were to come back to It now, he would find the atmosphere In several corners more Inspiring for two - gun PAUL MALLON thrillers than for poetry. There was, for Instance, a bureau chief In the public works adminis tration who got tired of having the inriiiirencB service of the bureau anoontnr around his office. He col lsxed the detective one day and aald miletlv: "If I see your face again I am go- Inn to shoot you. Don l worry won't kill you. I am merely going to wound you. so that I will nave an opportunity at my trial to ex pose this situation." The detective probably did not trust the bureau cblef'e aim. He ab sented himself thereafter. The chief later was successful In transferring himself to another government de partment, where he does not need his pistol. Then there is the more recent In side yarn about a small college pres ident from the middle west. He la considered one of the best econo mists In has particular line. He Join ed tho brain trust In 'an Inconspic uous way a year ago. as head of a section In the subsistence home stead division, and served there until a few days ago. Then, he found, a letter on his desk Informing him that he waa fired with discredit. No reason was mentioned In the letter. The serlous-mlnded professor has been wandering around since then, trying to figure It out. HIb friends sy he has searched his recollection and the only thing occurring to him Is the ' fact that he once wrote a letter to someone outside his depart ment auggestlng he would like to make a change to another govern ' ment department. He suspects the detective must have seen the letter and reported htm Callera at hla office are being told thst he Is "away for the day." There used to be one official In PWA who noted a tell-tale click of his telephone nearly every time he had a call. He suspected that the Investigation division under Louis Olavls was listening In, so, no mat ter whom he was talking to. he al ways Interrupted himself when the line clicked, and asked. "Can you hear me all right. Mr. Olavls?" He has been transferred. If you have wondered why It takes the government so long to get atart- ed on PWA and other projects, con sider what happened to a Florida dry dock company, seeking a gov ernment loan. It la aa good an ex ample of red tape as ever- was sup pressed by a government press agent. The dry dock company applied for a loan and received the approval of the leaal division of PWA. This dl vision Is supposed to be one of the best In the new deal. But the PWA Intelligence division stepped In and called the loan off. stating It had dug up something described aa dirt on somebody. This aroused the legal division. The matter waa carried to Secretary Irkes. He ordered an official hearing to he conducted by the legal dlvis Ion. This resulted In the detectives from the Intelligence division being put under rross-examlnatton by the legal division. The record of this Inside rump court was flnslly completed and sent around to both bureaus for editing. The lawyers later discovered that the detectives changed their answers In many vital respects, converting some "vesses" Into "noes" and vice versa. Whole psraeraph were stricken out by the detectives, say the lawyers. So now an Investigation of the Investigation Is being conducted. Meanwhile, the dry dock company is trying to be patient. The bureaucrats are not the only ones who enjoy the hazards of ex citing Inner conflicts under the new deal. In fact, a rather high glasa disturbance has developed lately be tween two stieh genial and outstand ing new dealers as the federal re servist. Mr. Eccles. and the houaer. Mr. Moffett. It seems that Chairman Fletcher of the senate banking committee as going over his mall about a week ago. when he ran across a let tr from Mr. Moffett. complaining about the new Eccles bank bill. Ap parently. Mr. Moffett thought that Mr. Eccles was trying to hsve the federal reserve system comi'lfte sith iConunuea an Pag SU; Wheat Crop in Western Kansas Is Dead Is Report of College Head School Children Unable Go Home KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 10.
