Washington
A young navy veteran stood
utsitte tT -
the juvenile delinquency
court in Denver Col back in
1923. He had tried eleven time
to get an appointment with Judge
Ben Lindsay tl famed juvenile
expert and each time Lindsays
secretary had mid no.
But the young veteran perse-
vered. Finally he caught Lindsay
as he went out to lunch and
shortly thereafter became his a
sistant probation officer.
The young veteran was Oscar
Chapman. And if he had not per-
severed both in Denver and in
Washington be would not be tak-
ing the oath as secretary of the
interior today.
Chapman has been a member of
the ' little cabinet longer than
anyone else in Washington. He
became assistant secretary of the
interior in the first months of
Franklin Roosevelts bright and
shiny new deal in 1933 and he
has patiently stuck it out for 16 .
years since. Cabinet shifts have
been made new appointments
have been sent to the senate but
Chapman .has quietly kept on
working.
And just as he finally saw Judge
Lindsay after having been re-
buffed eleven times Oscar has
now come into the reward long
overdue. When he takes office
today he will probably be the
best qualified and experienced
new secretary of the interior in
history.
BULL-MOOSE BOSSES
It may show a trend of the
times that the three men Oscar
Chapman worked for most of his
life have all been Teddy Roose-
velt Bull-Moosers. And of recent
years these Progressive Republi-
cans have been among the pillars
of the Democratic party.
The three men are Judge Lind-
say Sen. Ed Costigan of Colorado
and Harold Ickes. The latter two
were delegates at the Republican
convention which nominated Taft
in 1912. They walked out in pro-
test and later drafted Teddy
Roosevelt
It was thorugh Sen. Ed Costigan
that Chapman happened to meet
FDR ana enter the new deal.
Chapman had managed Costlgans
campaign for the senate in Col-
orado in 1
1 1930 and despite the fact
that Costigan was a BuU-Mooser
Chapman elected him on the Dem-
ocratic ticket Later Costigan visit-
ed Franklin Roosevelt then gov-
ernor of New York and took
Chapman along. They talked about
conservation.
We must keep young men like
this in government Roosevelt
said referring to Costigans as-
sistant who also having in mind
the probability that he Roose-
velt would be the next president
of the United States.
After his election FDR did not
forget He notified Costigan that
a man named Ickes from Chi-
cago would be the new secretary
of the interior; and that marked
the beginning of the hookup be-
tween Idres and Chapman a
hookup that has continued to this
day.
LIBERAL BATTLES
Old-time observers say there
are two kinds of politicians in
Washington Those who watch to
see which way the wind is blow-
ing and those who stand up and
buck the wind no matter how hard
its blotting.
Chapman is in the latter -And
his battles wind or no wind
have always been on the liberal
side. However he has worked so
quietly and kept himself so much
in the background that few have
given hint credit for the many
things he has accomplished. Chap-
man for instance has been push-
ing the production of synthetic
oil and gasoline working behind-the-scenes
with Sen. Joe OMa-
boney of Wyoming.
It was Chapman who months
before the oil crisis in the winter
of 1947-48 warned the industry
that they laced a shortage. Later
the big oil companies were ac-
tually running advertisements
urging consumers to use less oil.
irlj
Early in the new deal it was
also Chapman who led the fight
against child labor in the beet-
sugar fields. As a boy he had
worked in the tobacco fields of
Virginia and knew child labor
first hand.
Chapman was also sent to the
for west as trouble-shooter when
the Erasing act was first passed
in 1934. Ickes and Roosevelt had
persuaded congress to regulate
the public domain in the Rocky
mountain states where big sheep
and cattle men had fenced in
large areas of government land.
Irate groups of cattlemen greet-
ed Chapman wherever he went;
but after lixtaning to hia penuaa-
ion for half an hour one cattle-
man got up and said. '
"We re all used to having the
government in Washington crucify
us; so this is nothing new. But it
is new to have someone come out
and consult us sbout the way are
want to be crucified. This man
Chapman is at least good enough
to come and listen -to our sida. So
Im for him.1
