C, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1940. ; Federal Agencies' Propaganda Hit by Bennett Champ Clark Jurisdiction Jealousies Charged by Senator in Business Group Address . Each department, bureau and commission of the Federal Govern- ment “is as jealous of its jurisdic- tion as an opera singer,” Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri de- ‘clnm in an address before the an- jnual meeting of the National 50 i Years in Business Club last night {in the Willard Hotel. | “The bureaucrats constantly strive Ewnh might and main for lump sum | appropriations and for wider and wider authorizations which give larger and larger discretion to vari- ous department bureaus or commis- sion chiefs,” Senator Clark said. “It is nothing unusual for the same personnel to act as examiners, prosecutors, trial judges and courts of appeal, or to solemnly sit as in- vestigators upon disasters which may have been occasioned by their own negligence or misconduct.” Hits Agency Lobbying. The legislator attacked particu- larly publicity and “lobbying” activ- ities of Federal agencies and assert- ed the Departments of Interior and Agriculture have been principals in a long-standing “feud.” ‘The Interior Department has never been able to build up any propaganda organization to compare with that of the Agriculture De- partment,” he said. “The head of the latter organization has always ready-made to his hand an almost perfect engine of propaganda.” Referring to a recent presidential reorganization plan, Senator Clark stated, “Secretary Ickes has finally temporarily triumphed over the Ag- riculture Department and has cap- tured, for the time being, the Biolog- ical Survey, most of whose members now fear that they will be fired for | being adherents of the Agriculture Department.” | earlier in the address, when the speaker declared he “has even in- stalled a radio station in the In-| terior Department itself where he | and his subordinates can address | the public in terms of suiable| laudation of themselves and their | activities and propaganda for the | retention of his own job.” (The Department of the In- terior has éroadcasting studios but no transmitter.) | Not All Approved by President. | Senator Clark eaid the alleged “bureaucratic” activities do not have presidential approval at all times. A “buck-pass game” is in progress in the Nation, T. Russ Hill, president of Rexair, Inc., a Detroit (Mich.) | corporation, told the banquet guests. “It is time that we stopped point- ing fingers at each other,” he assert- ed in calling for a program of co- ! operative effort toward expansion of tadustrial activity and concern for | the problems of youth. | Terming the United States a “big business,” James G. Stahlman, Nash- ville (Tenn.) publisher, who presided, said, “Fortunately for that business and all of its stockholders, most of the fundamentals have been retained in the charter and by-laws, but the effort to turn to new and untried methods persists.” T.e Rev. Oliver J. Hart, of St. John's E Church, offered the invoca the program included a concert fea- —— - for LATEST NEWS “The Night Final Star, containing the latest news of the day during these dramatic times, is de- livered every evening throughout the city and suburbs between 6 P.M. and 7 P.M.

Views of Heber Blankenhorn, a special investigator for the National Labor Relations Board, who wrote a memorandum, found in board files, charging the Supreme Court with upholding the Wagner Act under pressure of labor threats and em- ployer surrender, today were sharply repudiated by the Labor Board. The House group had before it a8 mass of documents bearing on The Interior head was mentioned | MT- Blankenhorn's activities, includ- ing the memorandum that drew the rebuke from the board. Made pub- lic yesterday, this paper discussed the Supreme Court decision of April 12, 1937, upholding the Wagner Act, and intimated that Justice Roberts was swayed to vote for it by the knowledge that indsutry was not opposed to the legislation. The board issued this statement: “The board disassociates from the Heber Blankenhorn, a staff mem- ber, regarding the attitude of the Supreme Court, and in particular the attitude of Mr. erts toward the five cases in which the Supreme Court upheld the validity of the act on April 12, 1937. Board Regrets Publicity. “Immediately following the hand- ing down of those decisions, Mr. Blankenhorn set down observations | on them which embodied nothing more than his own private opin- ions. These were never presented to the board or to members of the staff, and would have remained un- expressed had they not been given currency by the special House Com- mittee investigating the National Labor Relations Board. “The board regrets the publicity given Mr. Blankenhorn's private and wishes to state this morning.” The Blankenhorn memorandus headed “Supreme Court and Labo! said: “Three dates are of importance in analyizing the turn of events recently: February 10, March 2 and April 12. “These dates ralse the question as to whether or not the Supreme Court did not ‘surrender’ to a new labor movement?

A question of national poi- ! icy came, by reductio ad absurdam, | to the mathematics of the forces | impinging on one man. The part | | of Hughes and of legal argument was that of supplying a plausible | way out for Roberts, ‘convinced’ by the others, the impinging forces. “Of the variqus impingements, one, Roberts’ financial connections, | could hardly be disregarded; in fuct,i | 1t would have to be first thought of " Mr. Blankenhorn exp'ained to ‘the comunittee that this memorandum | merely was his personal analysis of | the forces which had resulted in a Wagner Act victory; that his views had not been circulated or even brought to the attention of the board. He still feels the same way, he said. \ Stockholm, (Continued From First Page.), this npprmch' to Snasa, at the northern end of the lake. ° Correspondents who talked , to | Norwegian officers said that their total losses here in the past few days have amovnted to about 30 men,! while Britfsh losses have been ®per- haps heavier.” Some Norwegian sources said that at least 200 Germans had been killed in a single day on the Steinkjer front. i The Norwegians said the allied position in this area had been great- ly strengthened' recently by the ar- | rival of British fighting planes, | which lessened the pressure the Ger- | mans have been exerting from the air. | The Tidningen correspondent | quoted one British staff officer as| saying the allies were hopeful that | they might be able to break through at Steinkjer and drive the Germans.' out of Trondheim in the next three weeks, but he cautioned against un- | due optimism. The same correspondent asserted that the Germans had been making use of submarines to bring rein- forcements through the British fleet guarding the approaches to Trondheim. He ceclared that British air raids (had done considerable damage to the airport at Varnes near Trond- heim and that the Germans had put | about 2,000 of the male population | to work making repairs.. Those who voluriteered were paid for their services, while those who refused were impressed, the correspondent | said. Levanger a Dead Town. The town of Levanger, halfway | between Trondheim and Steinkjer, | which was the scene of heavy fight- { mg 10 days before the British fell | back to their present positions, was | described as a dead town, virtually | | deserted by its inhabitants. | Reports from Narvik, Norway's iron ore port in the Far North, in- dicated the situation there was un- changed, with the German garrison surrounded by British and Norwe- gian troops. The Swedish author, Arthur Lundquist, retyrning to Sweden | from Narvik, where he was visiting | when the Germans landed, said the Nazis had forbidden the civilian | population to leave, believing their | presence would prevent a British bombardment. | New Swedish Defense Loan. | Swedes, relying on a policy of | “armed neutrality” to keep the war | next door from spreading their way, rushed to subscribe to a new d fense loan of 500,000,000 kroner (about $118,500,000). Indications were that the loan would be sub- scribed in short order. An official announcement dis- closed that German-Swedish trade discussions in Stockholm had been completed but that they would con- tinue in Berlin on the basis of agree- ments thus far reached. The announcement brought to the fore the question of Swedish iron ore shipments to Germany via the Gulf of Bothnia, yhich are expected to be resumed as sooh as the route is clear of ice. - 5 It was obvious that Sweden, trying to avoid playing favorites, was con- cerned lest her iron mines at Kiruna eventually become a bone of con- tention between Germany and the allies. | Defenses Strengthened. To meet any possibility, she has strengthened her defenses along her northern frontier facing Norway. Her navy also will be reinforced soon by four destroyers purchased from Italy. The Swedish attitude was summed up by the Stockholm newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, which pointed out what unarmed neutrality had brought to Norway and Denmark and declared that Sweden, “relying on its strengthened defenses, is in- { destructibly determined now as be- fore to follow the same clear | “l"o- that aim,” the paper said, “our united people are ready to make every sacrifice.” Stockholm will witness a unique event tomorrow when the nation's major political parties unite in a general defense celebration.
