Thursday, March 13, 1947 WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The ghosts of the old California State Relief Administration (the SRA) must be sitting on some cloudy hilltop, looking at Washington with homesick feelings. Do you recall the balmy days of Governor Olson and the SRA and its "Supervising Janitors" and its "Ambulatory Receptionists?" The OPA has been officially dead for months, execpt for rent controls and a few items like sugar rationing. Yet the OPA, on January 15th, when the committee asked for a breakdown, had on its rolls, in the Washington office: Eight assistant administrators, 122 economists, 13 auditors, five personnel assistants, 26 personnel officers, 147 accountants, 37 investigators, one field representative, 14 price executives, 187 analysts, 21 administrative officers, six labor relations advisors (they were probably looking for the Department of Labor and got lost in Washington's bureaucracy), 168 attorneys, 25 directors, 14 administrative assistants (these are different, you understand, from assistant administrators!), 13 information specialists, four archivists, seven engineers, 22 field representatives (listed separately from the ONE above, who is undoubtedly lost), ten statisticians (to help Chester Bowles with his falsified statistics, no doubt), six business specialists (do you mean there were six people in the OPA who knew something about American business?), two graphic analysts (to help Chester make up his also-incorrect charts), ten executive officers, six special advisors, three deputy administratives and 1091 in the lower and I rise to remark that I consider that discrimination against California for that is one general to every two privates, while several offices have more generals than privates. On of the newer and entirely illegal activities of the OPA was the creation of an "employment commission" of 64 people, whose salaries averaged in the neighborhood of $800 a year. It was set up to find jobs for the OPA employees whose agency, in the words of one Congressman, is "being shot out from under them." The USES is already charged with this job, and agencies exist in all the states. The OPA had also set up a rather elaborate program, with 260 employees, to write the history on November 5th and all that is going on now is an appendix, and you know what happens to a troublesome appendix. There is one chapter of that history I'd like to write; the one on the statistics Chester Bowles used to send up to the "hill." The OPA had on hand, less all obligations to February 15th, the sum of $17,435,688. Allowing its employees their annual leaves, after the end of the OPA, there would still be almost $10,000,000 left. Yet in spite of these figures, the OPA had the unmitigated gall to ask for a "deficiency appropriation" of $5,950,000, in addition to the $17,435,688 shown above, "to carry it to July 1st of this year." The House refused the deficiency request, and took back $9,000,000 of the money the OPA had on hand. I do not recite this to attack Wanda Burdick.

Laguna police were reported in a quandry this week all due to the bright eyes of E. O. Schulz of 608 East Sycamore street, this city, who found some decidedly unusual "boodle" but absolutely no evidence thrown over the cliff at Ninth street and Highway 101, South Laguna. The evidence includes one mink coat, one fur jacket, one pink slip and two cocktail shakers. To your reporter it sounds like a mixed up affair. Police and research experts of the beach force can find no footprints or tire marks to go with the above articles. Anyone having positive proof is invited to drop down to the sheriff's office or the Laguna Beach police department. Buy in Anaheim and get greater values for your money.
