“USE IT UP’
THE NEWBERRY SUN
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1943
LOOK, CONGRESS
Last summer Congress abolished
the National Resources Planning
Board, the agency headed by the
President’s uncle, which was going
to give this Nation complete social
security—from the cradle to the
grave. Congress ordered the N. R.
P. B. to go out of business by Au
gust 31. Its budget was somewhere
between $1,000,000 and $1,250,000 a
year, a large part of it, obviously, in
pay roll. ,
Now it has been revealed that <f
the 29 full-time key executives with
the N. R. P. B., 22 of them are still
on the Federal pay roll—transefrred
to other Federal agencies, presum>-
ably at the same high salary sche
dules they were on. Of the remain
ing 7, 2 went into the Army and
the other 5 are now with other plan
ning organizations.
But the revelation of their new
connections also included 1 the kind of
money they were drawing to plan
cradle-to-the-grave security. They
were getting salaries ranging from
$5,600 a year to $8,750 a year.
Three of them got $5,600—which
is more than $107 a w£ek.
. One drew $6,400--which is mor e
than $123 a week.
Eight were paid $6,500- -$125 a
week.
Three got $6,700—more than $129
a week.
On e got $7,500—more than $144 a
week.
Two got $8,000—more than $153 a
week.
Two got $8,250—more than $158 a
week.
Two got $8,750—more than $168 a
week.
All of these 22 are still on the
Federal pay roll. Is anyone naive
enough to believe that they are draw
ing less than they were formerly?
Congress thought it was doing a
great job in abolishing the N. R. P.
B. But the planners plan far better
for themselves than they do for the >
peoiple. The pay roll proves it.—Ind.
