NATIONAL REPR! Fourth Avenue Bldg., NTATIVES attle, Wash, BYRD TAL l\\ SENSE A good Democrat—there are goed ones and the kind—Senator Harry F. Byrd, ticle in the New York World-Telegram points out the increasing danger of the cancer of bureaucracy on the Government of the United States. The grasping arms of the national administra- tion already has ursurped the rights of state gov- ernment beyond all reason and aren’t satisfied yet. Under the constitutional form of Government our form of government—the various states are inte- residual powers and responsibilities of forms to which we other units with necessary to the maintenance pledged and throughout the years have proved adequate and safe But within the last decade many of these powers have been stripped from the divisions of government to which they inherently belonged and have been transferred to the nation’s capital. In Washington today there seems to be protest verging on an awakening—but unless the real awakening comes the very structure on which our Government is founded will be weakened repair Senator that the Federal Gov- ernment now has on the payroll more than 3,000,000 than the combined total of all the [ gral are a faint beyond Byrd points out _employees—more Washington 2 gE Do-kounl (Cmmnuad from Page One) senhower, |fast in the {be restrained bM'ushall However, |is the type ‘who Medit | strategy until it \B\Il once settled |out religiously to Contrary | fact off the compli- barrassed, passed ment with: “You know, Mrs. really my press agent.” Stotesbury ‘rox four years ir “Do you need a press agent?”|does not mean that he stands in inquired Mrs. Luce, whose husband the MacArthur, camp rather than Marshall.

Since July, 1939, the Fed- |eral Government has increased the number of its jnew employees almost 50 percent every six months! J In every state Federal employees far outnumber employees.

In little Wyo- Iming the state shows 1,100 persons on the payroll and the Federal Government employs 6,200. We don't know what the number would be Alaska. Senator Byrd points out that the bureauracy is inot responsible to the people, doesn’t answer for its {acts at the polls, flaunts the will of the people’s elected répresentatives. What we have now isn’'t just a larger form of jgovernment, but a different form. It is no longer a ;,nvpmmrm of three co-equal groups—legislative, ex- lecutive and judicial. The check and balance is off {balance. The executive has grown into a Ibureaucratic ruling group of red tape and directives. | Combined total cost to the nation this year of legis- |lative and judicial branches was $38,000,000. The executive spent that much in publicity and promo- tion, alone. Today there is one out the United States employed by {ment.

From Merle Thorpe, Editor of Nation's Busines: For years, labor leaders have explained various cesses and unpalatable policies by saying they are | e unable to hold the rank and file in check. Occa- sionally something happens to take the wind out of this proposition-—such as the rank and file's refusal to strike last month at the Thompson Products Com- pany, which makes gssm'.(iul airplane equipment. The CIO called the strike, but the union mem- bers shoved right through the picket lines and the strike flopped, A reporter quoted one woman worker as telling a picket that if her husband, in North | Africa, knew she was on strike “he would blow my head off.” An elderly man, significantly swinging a hammer, displayed a pair of Army wings, worn ,in honor of his hoy in the Army Air Corps. Pretty soon the picket line melted, and the CIO called off the strike. In this case, the rank and file checked the leaders. Olive drab bugles for the U. S. Army are now being molded of plastic, saving almost two pounds a Lrlhral material, on cach bugle made. OLD MILITARY FRIENDS Friendship between Gen. Eisen- hower and Gen.
