There is an interesting note in last Tuesday's removal of Miss Jane Hoey as director of the Bureau of Public Assistance of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Miss Hoey's Bureau administers financial assistance to the blind, the needy aged, the totally and permanent disabled and to dependent children. The Secretary of her department, Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, said Miss Hoey was fired not for incompetence (she had been in charge for eighteen years) but because the job was "a policy making position." It therefore has to be taken off civil service and given to a political appointee.
The Republicans, it appears, have a different policy toward the needy aged, dependent children, the blind and the disabled than the Democrats.
