The sixty-first anniversary of the BY TETER EDSON NEA Staff Correspondent TAN mail from outraged citizens to the Senate Truman Committee investigating the National Defense Program has been responsible for uncovering a number of irregularities in war procurement and First Congregational Church, Fowler, California, had this to say in a recent Commencement address: "Life is the greatest institution of learning." "You are stepping out of the life of your school into the much greater school of life," he said to the young graduates.

FOR SALE Purper will be the speakers. Harry Rep. J- Parnell Thomas of New Jersey thinks that the Dies committee officially the Special Committee to investigate Un-American Activities-should be made permanent when its present tenure ends next January. As the committee's ranking minority Mr. Thomas is1 in line for the chairmanship if he should be re-elected and the Republicans should gain control of the House in the next Congress.

This may lend urgency to his suggestion, which will probably find considerable support in and out of Congress. Any decision on the suggestion is complicated by the construction. "Out of a troubled mind and heart I find it necessary to appeal to you," wrote one father who was proud to have a son overseas. "A state of collusion exists between the post commander and the post engineer officer on projects turned down by the chief of ordnance," the letter went on, "using fake work, orders and exhausting funds for maintenance and utilities."

M20 Ark. The inspector general disclosed unauthorized expenditures of $20,000. The inspector general has asked that charges be specified for court-martial trial of the two responsible officers, Col. Raymond Marsh and Maj. John W.

Copeland. In none of these reports of irregularities is the name of the informant disclosed by the Truman committee to the War Department. was a letter to the Truman committee from a private citizen which uncovered waste ot the Voorheesville, N. holding and point. Here it was charged originally that the commanding officer, Col.

J. D. Chambliss, had spent $47,000 rebuilding 'an old farmhouse, putting in a swimming pool, a wild duck and 'cattle farm, having a boat built so the c. o. could go fishing on a reservoir, and in winter sending a truck load of workers to cut holes the ice to make fishing easier.

Investigation by an Army I. G. showed the report to be somewhat exaggerated, but even so, there was enough meat in this report to imake the checkup worth while. Over $12,000 had been spent on rehabilitation of the quarters, and $10,000 was WPA money. The colonel was recommended for court-martial, relieved of duty.

the ottier hand, the tips sometimes minimize the seriousness of i the waste. A letter to the committee from one informant put an inspector general on the trail of remodeling the commandant's quarters and a commissary at Fort Lewis, Wash. The original report put the expense at $2500. First checkup by the Army gave the costs las $716. But when the informant amplified details, further investigation disclosed $6200 costs on the house and $4000 on the commissary, which was made to look like a super-market.

In this case, blame was put on the post engineer for failing to supervise the work properly, and he was recommended tor return i to inactive status for failing to fill out form O. C. E. 105. While work of the inspectors general in following through on these civilian complaints of relatively minor and routine matters is reported as generally satisfactory by the Truman committee, it is not impressed by the record of investigations on complicated financial and business matters having to do with war production.

$5.00 per week and up. M27 opening session. The convention ends Saturday. it tee will be like without Martin Dies who is bowing out of politics. The history of his committee has been marked by violent opposition arid enthusiasm, but it is hard to tell whether it was the committee's work or Mr.

Dies, personally that aroused these feelings. Perhaps with a different chairman and changed personnel the whole atmosphere might be different. But that doesn't alter the fact that the committee's past activities have been mixture of revealing investigations and silly witch hunts. And it does not settle the question of whether Congress is the best center for this type of operation. Mr.

Thomas is right when he says that we must not let our guard down against Un-Ameri-canism. But whether the present "weapon of exposure must be maintained through a congressional committee" is another question. It is always possible that such a weapon will shoot wide of the mark and hit some political or personal target. Or it may prove amusingly ineffective, as happened in the Federal Theater Project investigation when one Dies committeeman accused the dramatist Christopher Marlowe of being a Communist. It seems to us that the logical place for investigation un-Americanism is the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Its record of efficiency in this field is certainly as good as the Dies committee's. And its staff, enlarged if necessary, could turn up as much valuable evidence as Mr. Dies claims his group turned over to the FBI.
