is that he employed a number of
clerks to assist the office force with
out first obtaining the approval of the
governor's office, which is required
under the selective service law. As a
result of this practice, it was declared
numerous complaints were lodged pn
failure of the clerical help to receive
their pay.

the opportunity to resign and the War
department action followed.
