ln 1919 Congress passed a law forbidding Federal omeials to spend public money to iMuenee Iegislntion. It reads in part as follows: "no part of the money appropriated by any act shall, in the absence of express authorization by Congress. be used directly or indirectly to pay for any personal service, advertisement. tele- gram. telephone. letter, printed or written matter, or other device, in- tended or designed to infiuenee in any manner a member of Congress, to favor or oppose, by vote or other- wise, any legislation or appropria- Wadi-non, D. c., PK IT-we have on:- spot-n at a.

All this has been repeatedly point- ed out, but not too frequently for no one cnn too frequently speak of the existing dangers to the rights and liberties of n free people. And bureatreraey unchecked in such I danger. Testimony thin week before the Committee to Investigate the National Labor Reletione Board makes thin clear. I have no doubt that other bonds and commissions of the government are as guilty as the NLRB in Abuse of power und authority, but there has been no in- Veatigation of them by which the {lots con be brought to light. The facts uncovered by the NLRB inves- tigation furnish concrete examples of the kind of things that take plnce where bureaucracy is lllowed to go unchecked.

The point is that thvre is no authority for the NLRB In engage in it.

That is for Congress itself to determine. The point is that the anti-ls of the NLRB, and doubtless the - has been true of "ttici) of other agencies, complete» ly disregard the Act of 1919. In other words. they took the attitude that they were Ibove the law and felt free to do what they thought best, any Act of Congress to the contrary notwithstanding. That is government by men and not by laws Testimony before the committee also brought out the fact that the NLRB oMeinls had taken up with the RFC the question of refusing loan applications where the party was found by the board to have vio- lated the NLRB, regardless of whether the courts had passed on the question. Moreover. they took up with the Procurement Division the question of not giving any con- tracts to any low bidder whom the board considered to be violating the NLRA. ml eoasaid.ratiokof the Ina-lion Contra- duhr-in- In. the (at. was!“ what should be door.

Milwaukee Ave. The meet- ling, conducted by President Melvin Rouse, 1.nded with a definite pro- Izram laid out and chairmen of the l various phases of the $2,700 project selected. The Glencoe bmird of trustees has In on ren'uested to modify its license fees for the operation of u "moviv" by individuals who announce they are desirous of building a motion picture theater in the Vin-go. Must hvartuning incident of the men-ling was the announcement of Fred W. Hobo that he would ad- Nance $1.350 to the club to complete the cost of light installation, provid- ing the club first tr.tised through its uwn vfrorts the other half of the total cost, or $1,350. The other pro- vision in Mr. Dobe's generous "tter was that the diamond be located in Hutlpr Park. In order to ascertain the senti- mont of the residents on the subject. a postal card referendum vote is bin ing taken for which the village board this week muiled a "Movie Advisory Ballot" to till Glencoe householders with the request that it be filled out and returned to the Villngo Manager u soon as possible. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart H. Otis, fur- mer Lake Forest residents now liv- ing on St. Mary's road near Liber- tyville. have been entertaining an uninvited guest. Several weeks am), a bay horse, weighing about 1.300 pounds wandered into the Otis pam- tare lot and boarded with the Otis livestock since that time. Friday Otto Anderson of Wheeling claimed the stray bay horse that wandered into the tiold of the Stuart this farm. While the names of those inter- ruled in bringing the new theater to Glencoe are not revealed nt present, pending decision on the foregoing preliminary steps. they are willing. it is Innounced. to eo-operate with the village In to exterior architec- tural plans and in every wny com- ply with the censorship and other provisions of the ordintutee. The proposed new theater. it is explained. will cost in the neighbor- hood of $i00,000 and will have a mating cap-city of Ipproximltely 1.000. Hearings in the action to invali- date the annexation of No Man's Land by the Village of Wilmette were opened in the court of Circuit Court Judge Harry M. Fisher Wed- nesday of this week. The case, entitled Stanley K. Gage, plaintiff, against the Village of Wilmette, is to test the constitu- tionality of the Illinois state law untlar which the annexation ordi- nance was written. The Village is being defended by Villam- Attorney William M. "mes and lll-nry J. Brandt, special coun- sel.
