S. Code, Sec. 203) which prohibits members of Congress from receiving compensa- tion for reprsenting private clients before government agencies. Most of the Justice Department big-shots are in a cold sweat over it. They are scared stiff over the the case and want quietly to bury prospect of tangling with Cox. The 1aucous-voiced little Georgian is a potent figure in the House. He is a leader of the powerful bloc of Southern, anti-New Deal labor-baiting Democrats, ranking member of the mighty Rules Com- mittee, and on close personal terms with House floor chiefs. Also he is 2 resourceful and tough fighter, pecially when under fire. So most of the Justice big-shots want to let Cox off, perhaps, es- | ment are demanding | They contend that the law is ex- | out j Attorney with | legal action. | plicit and that it is the duty of the Department to enforce it with- | fear or favor. ) General Francis Bid-| {dle has not yet made up his mind. |He is not noted for decisive action. | | ! THE CASE This is the information in the| |hands of the Justice Department: Station WALB, Albany, Ga., in ‘Cu\s district, applied to the Fed- | |eral Communications Commission for a construction permit to change |its frequency. Cox made several visits to the FCC in behalf of WALB. However, his name did| not appear on the station's formal application as its attorney of rec- ord. After several hearings, the PCC| granted the permit and when WALB opened its new station, Al- bany newspapers gave Cox much | of the credit for putting the pfo- | ject over. They acclaimed him 'as a potent figure in Washington. Around this time, Cox received check for $2500 from 'WALB. This check he converted into stock of the station. The Justice De- partment has a copy of this check. Later, Hugh McCarthy, $135-a- month clerk in Cox’s congressional | office, sent WALB a bill for $226 he claimed was due him for sér- vices performed in connection with the permit. In addition to work- ing for Cox, McCarthy also practices law on the side WALB refused to pay McCarthy The station wrote him that Cox already had been paid for the job and the station saw no reason why it should fork over any money to McCarthy As far as the Justice Department knows, McCarthy still is unpaid. If a An fair is that for months, Cox has been loudly clamoring for a House probe of the Communications Com- mission on the ground that it has a secret Gestapo. He introduced a | resolution for such an investigation and has made a number of speeches’ demanding action on it, and denouncing ‘the FCC. Under congressional practice, if the probe is ordered, Cox would be chairman of the committee, Note: Several years ago Cox was disclosed as being the No. 1 nepo- tist in the House. At that time he had eight relatives on the govern- ment payroll for a total take, in- cluding his $10,000 salary, of more than $55,000 a year. (Copyright, 1942, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
