That question is frequently propounded and one of the best answers we have found is that all the little liberals came to Washington got good government jobs and immediately became bureaucrats This week's session of the Supreme court brings us to the subject For in the momentous decision which confirmed the dictatorial powers of the Federal Communications commission to absolutely control chain broadcasting we noted a dissenting opinion written by Associate Justice Frank Murphy and concurred in by conservative Associate Justice Owen Roberts Mr Justice Murphy has been a leading dis-enter since he went to the highest tribunal from the post of attorney general in February 1940 Many men of liberal leanings have changed when elevated to the court but wc cannot detect any deflection in the Murphy philosophy We have studied three of his dissents and through them runs the idea of preserving all that the constitution intended should be the lot of those who live in this country IE died exclaimed Sen Graham after an hour and a half of to hat we are doing in ash-ington Well flown at Tallahassee a legislative committee did every til ing to oung A Krug of the Office of War Utilities hut hoot him out of the committee room" The story has aspects of humor when told here by the puzzled and somewhat chagrined New Dealers: "Krug the burly and precocious boy from Wisconsin pride of the public ownership of power advocates went down to Tallahassee to whip the Florida legislature into line on the War Time issue pending and senate because the farmers the morning dew didn't follow living iu uiscuver uacuj wnu had been paid the old folks "that I don't see how you ever know whether you're afoot or horseback" Discrepancies in the biennial report of the welfare board caused Sen Shands to declare Gov Snessard Holland MOBLEY MORRIS By OSWALD GARRISON" YILLARD THE mystery of the Aleutians has grown more remarkable every week We have read every day of more bombings of Kiska and Attu by our air force which now is dropping thousands of tons of bombs upon the Japanese garrisons of those two islands Yet they have been there now for almost a year and despite all the might of our Navy and Army we had not been able either to make the islands untenable or to cut off the Japanese from their home bases But that was not all We were actually told that despite all the bombing the Japanese grew stronger than they were that they werp openly building runways for aviation fields from which a few-planes could take off to bomb West Coast and Alaskan cities and that there had been a steady increase in the number of heavy guns and anti-aircraft weapons being mounted by the rni'iii) Indeed Eugene Rurns a repre-gentative of the Associated Press in the Aleutians reported that "so far our pilots have dropped millions of pounds of bombs and drawn perhaps a nose-bieed Bomber pilots reported too that the air was black with ack-ack as they flew over Kiska" This certainly does not look as if we were solving the before the house who found that the time change wanted to go back to the old along with the public "has been kidded about how much the needy are getting" Sen Shands agreed with Sen Graham that the board needed "some good bookkeepers" "If I'm blunt please don't take offense" said Sen Graham "but I'm astounded how loosely this -ast amount of money is handled You've got a lot of people who have no conception of monev they're filled with a lot of theories "The cheapest help in your whole organization are tho-e who handle the statistics At the salaries you're pa ing them you can't get good men If you had Mwer and paid them better salaries vou'd be better off" 'TpHlS week's case according to the argument of the national broad-casting chains seriously threatens the future of the radio broadcasting industry as a free enterprise In this Justice Murphy agrees He said: "Because it (radio) cannot be used by all some who wish to use it must be denied But congress did not authorize the commission to choose among applicants on the basis of their political economic or social views or upon any other capricious basis The standard it provided for the licensing of stations was "public interest convenience or necessity' Denial of a station license on that ground if valid under the act is not denial of tree speech" Holding that the radio lias now become a rival of the press as a purveyor of news and entertainment Justice Murphy contended that these broad powers should not have been assumed by the commission "without a clear mandate from congress" Two other notable dissents by Justice Murphy were made on April 27 1942 and both involved the right to privacy the protection of the people under the hill of rights Radio and other appliances which it has brought about should make it even more important that the "right to privacy" lie retained the dissent asserted "Whether the search of private quarters is accomplished by placing tn the outer walls of the sanctum a dictaphone that transmits to the outside listener the intimate details of a private conversation or by new methods of photography that penetrates walls or overcome distances the privacy of the citizen is equally invaded schedule "Krug had a six-page statement giving all the answers which he planned to read to the committee Everybody knew that he would convince them But Krug didn't have a chance Present was a state senator Ernest Graham of Miami who apparently had been in Washington and knew what was poing on here He proceeded to lecture King and to blame him personally for all the shortcomings hlch Sen Graham found in the capital "Krug we reeat didn't have a chance When he finally got around to his subject the committee paid absolutely no attention to him He had been used as a whipping boy by Sen Graham and that was all The only consolation that Krug got was to find when the vote on the War Time bill was taken Sen Graham was one of the few who voted for Krug's views" Krug returned to Washington and gave out his Bix-pagC statement here It reads quite well if anybody up at Tallahassee is interested Aleutian problem Burns said that we were not getting ahead primarily

The reason I ask is liecause I have a friend who has retired and gone there to live I thought 1 might get him the job if the Republicans win next year This merit system the Democrats have put' in for postmasters is all lommy-rot you know We are going to install a real merit stem" Kittt pie tact that MhI ol our lor ni a in i a ii traatfcav comes from 'he Aleutian direction Pot a number of or past have been fighting the statements of those of our strat-rgists who have insisted long before Pearl Harbor that it would be the simplest thine for u- to invade Japan way of the Aleutian islands since th distance from them to Tokyo is only 2400 miles I pointed out that not only was this about the worst place in the world for bad weather and especially for fogs but the maritime conditions notably the currents were insufficiently known and that adequate charts were lacking unless they were in the secret archives of the Navy department Hence it was hard to believe that FOLKS hy shouldn't men especially fathers who want to know now in advance whether they'll be called be given a chance to tind out?
