SALEM, Jun I. (CP) Fed
eral bureaucrarlee whose func
tions are to determine the "love
life ot a bull-frog and the wear
ing qualltlea of bed sheets,"
wore held up in ridicule by
Louis A. Johnson, West Vir
ginia, national commander of
the American Legion, in a speech
at th Salera armory tonight.
In a vigorous appeal urging
mora atrlngent economiea In na
tional affairs. Johnson Inter
spersed his remarka with witty
descrlptiona of how some gov
ernment agencies ''spend your
money and mine."
, laugha at Kolona
Referring to the thousands ot
pamphleta mailed from Wasb
Ington under franking privil
eges, the Legion commander
pointed to on entitled, "Tbe
Love Life of a Bull-Frog."
"Who," Johnson a'sked,
"would be Interested In that ex
cept another bull-frog?
"If w are going to have
economy In America at th ex
pense of the veterans, then we
want to hear nothing more
about the sex life of bull-frogs.
We want the 27,000.000 that la
being spent on bugolog'sta In
that department wiped out If
It Is going to be cut from the
disabled veterans."
Tha national commander told
of another department that aent
an "old maid" - a pattern tor
the making ot boys' pants, and
h said he assumed they are
ending aurh material to "all
the old maids In America."
"They apend thousands of
dollara Investigating to deter
mine where bed sheets wear out
first." , he added, "and they
friend out' "that they wear 6ut
where the heaviest part of the
noily rests. Any chambermaid
could have told the government
that."
Indirectly, Johnson referred
to disclosures In the J. P. Mor
gan and companv senate In
quiry, when he said "half the
wealth of thla country la invest
ed In tax-exempt securities.
"If we are going to have
economy, then let our govern
ment call In these tax-exempt
securities so that the dollars of
the rich man ahall be taxed pro

man in carrying on tnis govern
ment ot ours."
