MARCH 7 8: chorus; Y. M. 1 Washington, March 15. (AP) The 1940 census row generated new rancor today, with President Roosevelt accusing Senator Tobey (R-NH) of inciting the people to violate the law and Tobey charging. chief executive with Hitlerian tactics.
The sharply-worded exchange was an indirect affair because the President Was confined to the White House with a cold and Senator Tobey was resting on his farm at Temple, N. H. Unable to hold his regular press conference, Mr. Roosevelt asked Stephen Early White House secretary, to tell newsmen: "The President would have told you that for the first time in his knowledge 8 United States Sena-. tor "openly advised the American people to violate the law and had held himself out as the one person who will not answer the two in-' come questions when he knows full well that in his case the answer will be unnecessary' since the enumerator the serator earns more than $5,000." Early did not mention Tobey by name.
There was no doubt, however, about the senator in question because Tobey is sponsor of. a resolution which would express senate disapproval of census questions about and has asserted that citizens would be within their rights in refusing to answer them. of Commerce Hop--kins announced last night that anyone who did not wish to tell arr enumerator his income could put the answers, unsigned; into a envelope for delivery to the census bureau.) Charles Tobey, son and secretary to the senator, promptly telephoned his. father and received 8 telegram to send to the White House. "In view of the serious nature of your charge," the telegram said, am obliged to ask you to kindly advise me what law you refer to." The telegram went on to 'say that the Senate committee of merce had determined that the income questions were illegal; and that the bill of rights says 'the right of the people to' be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated' and has been interpreted.
by the Supreme Court to exempt a citizen's 'private affairs, books papers from the inspection and scrunity of others'." It added: "If it is your position unauthorized ruling of departmental. bureau constitutes of the United States, then it is important that the people recall that such were the tactics used by. Hitler in gaining powers never sanctioned by "the It. is time to call a halt to attempts of departments to. arrogate to themselves the functions of a legislative body especially in matters, which threaten the people free country with imprisonment for not bowing to the will of a bureau."
