A. Vanderlip's “great idea" is going

position.
Less than two months :80. the
announcement that the former head
of the National 'City Bank had or-
ganized a Citizens' Federal Research
Bureau to drive fraud and corrup-

was hailed as an evedince of folly

sequently. he was able to impart to
his new enterpnse a dignity and an
emciency that could be gained from
probably no other person in the
country. who possessed the peculiar
qualifications necessary to make the
Research Bureau a success.
The reaction to his work is evi-

Literally hundreds of letters. couch-

dation for the crusade which he has
undertaken are being receixed by
him.

from people who are total strangers

He recently augmented, his staff by
engaging a. general counsel for the
bureau, J. Weston Alien. former At-

one of the most noted prosecutors

he undertook the formation 0! the

the work which will necessarily fall
to his share. In an interview with
the “titer. Mr. \anderlip summed
the situation up with the follouing
w:ords
‘ I beieve there is room for a great
service by an extra-governmental cr-
ganlzation. My conception of the
function of such a bureau is that it
should confine its studies to depart-
ments and bureaus in the executive
branches of the Federal Govern-
ment; that. its research should in-
quire into.-ilrst the purpose. and.
second, the method of the depart-
ment that is being in1estigated.’1he
purpose of some of our government
bureaus is either not clearly defined
or wisely conceived. The method in
many of them would be benefited by
independent scrutiny. There may
be .and frequently is, incompetence.
