FISCAL YEAR 1954 
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 

To the Congress of the United States: 

u.s. Government Printing Office 

Washington 25, D. c. 

January 3, 1955 

This report, submitted pursuant to the provisions of the act of 

January 12, 1S95 (sec. 19, ch. 23, 2S Stat. 603) covers the work of the 

Government Printing Office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1954. 

Under the 1940 Legislative Branch Appropriation Act, the requirement 

for the printing of an annual report was suspended and subsequent appropriation acts have extended this authorization. Therefore, the distribution 

of an annual report has been limited to this abridged version. All pertinent statistics are to be found in the tables of the Appendix beginning 

at Page 17. 

In the fiscal year 1954, total charges of the Government Printing 

Office amounted to $71,2S0,536.4S. Of this amount approximately $9,000,000 

represented charges to the Congress. The number of orders received was 

down about 6.2 percent. 

Field Service Division operations went up slightly, from $3,997,697.34 

to $4,023,3S7.55. 

Total number of employees on the rolls dropped from 7,339 to 6,Sll, 

a decrease of 7.2 percent while the volume of work was declining 4.1 percent.. 

Under a business-type budget, established for the first time in this 

Office, overhead costs were reduced $SOO,OOO and approximately $200,000 

was saved in premium pay to employees for night work by changes in shifts 

and the virtual elimination of the second shift. The Office went on a 

revolving-fund system of financing at the beginning of the year. Before 

six months of the year had elapsed under the new financing program, I was 

able to make arrangements for the return of $5,000,000 of capital to the 

U. S. Treasury. 

In February 1954, I reduced the scale of prices by 5 percent, the 

first cut in the charges for public printing and binding in more than 

20 years. 
- 2 = 

In April and May wage increases were granted to journeymen craftsmen 

in the several trades, in line with the weighted averages of commercial 

wage scales established in the 25 principal citieso After a close stuQ1 of 

their effect on Government Printing Office charges, it was determined that 

these increases could be absorbed without raising rateso That is, the 5 

percent reduction made in February was continued throughout the year, and 

is still in effect except for further reductions to be described hereafter. 

In March all offset operations were reorganized and consolidated in 

a new Division of Offset. I am confident that my next report will reflect 

large savings through the increased efficiency and economy which will 

result from this reorganization~ Reduction of personnel from this and other 

changes made in the Office was accomplished with practically no enforced 

separations, resignations and retirements being almost sufficient in numbers 

to bring about the 7.2 percent decrease. 

Rigid tightening of security regulations, qy a return to war-time 

restrictions and the appointment of a full-time security officer, has put 

the handling of all classified printing on a safe basis. All responsible 

officials have been subjected to full-field investigations, which will be 

extended, when approval is secured 1 to all persons engaged in any processing of such material. 

During the year, I established a Committee on Modernization of Machinery 

and Equipment. The committee received from all divisions the estimate of 

their projected requirements for replacements or additions over a 10-year 

period, Then each division's requests for 1954 procurement (as well as the 

long-term program) were reviewed by the Committee, which recommended no 

purchases unless each justification submitted promised and proved a definite 

monetary saving. The Committee will subsequently review each year's requests 

in the same manner. The estimated cost of machinery to be purchased in 1954 

is $1,187 9 325.63. 

The requests approved for 1954 under the foregoing procedure will save 

$302,752 in the first year of operation and$ projected over a normal 15-year 

depreciation period, will result in estimated gross savings of $4,541,2go. 

Fifty new machines were installed in the Production Divisions, including 

eight new presses, six of which were for the Offset Division. Eighty-four 

machines were returned to stores for sale to the highest bidder or for 

removal to new locations~ in accordance with the policy of the Office against 

any over-all increase in production facilities. 

During the year, many of the agencies have written letters highly 

commending a steady improvement in the service rendered by the Office or 

in recognition of publications produced under extraordinarily short 

schedules. 
I am pleased to be able to report satisfactory progress toward the 

objective of putting the Office on a completely efficient and economical 

basis of operation and look fo~vard to further success along this line in 

the coming fiscal yearo

ACCOUNTING 

The program initiated at the commencement of revolving-fund financing, 

year 1953, was continued during the current year. That program 

for (a) such revisions in accounting structure and methods as to 

basic requirements t to the change to revolving-fund financing 

from direct appropriation financing, and (b) evaluation of accounting and 

in the light of operations, in the interest of producing the most 

, informative and useful data; at the same time weighing its usefulness against cost of ascertainment. 

The most vital changes in basic system structure (item (a) above) were 

accomplished by the clost of the fiscal year 1954. 

Inc to the overall programj the following are indicative of the 

areas in which progress has been made: 

ao Installation of revised cost accounting system, achieving full 

integration with general accounts, coordination with budget and other 

requirements~ etc. 

b. Inventorying, recording and devising procedure in connection with 

securing financial control over plant and equipment and providing for 

systematic depreciation thereof. 

c. Progress toward realization of an internal budgeting and coordinate 

reporting system. 

d. Bringing under financial control all values incident to the acquisiand sale of public documents and assuring realistic ascertainment of 

the operating results of this activity. 

together with collateral developments, are producing better 

economies. Of significance is the announcement during the year 

of a .5 percent reduction in most rates used in billing for services rendered 

various departments of Gove~~ent. An example of expense reduction is the 

decrease of 40 employees in the Office of the Comptroller-a percentage reduction of 10o2. It is considered that simplified or otherwise improved procedures have substantially contributed toward the realization of these results. 

Public Law 178 of the 83rd Congress provided a revolving-fund for 

financing of the Government Printing Office (excepting the Office of the 

Superintendent of Documents) effective with the fiscal year beginning July 1, 

1953. In pursuance thereof, the balances of unexpended appropriations, 

inventories, plant (except buildings and land), and other assets and liabilities were incorporated into the fundi together with an additional appropriation of ,000,000. 
The conversion to cycle financing as per the revolving fund has 

facilitated the adoption of policies more in line with commercial practice. 

For example, a long-range plant modernization program has been initiated--

designed to increase efficiency and cut cost of operations. 

The Comptroller G·eneral of the United States formally approved the 

accounting system as to its basic principles, standards and related requirements on August l7i 1954. 

PERSONNEL 

Personnel activities of the Office were highly rated by inspectors 

of the Civil Service Commission, with only a few minor corrections being 

required to bring about full compliance with the Civil Service Commission 

regulations or recommendations. 

A program of Development and Work Coordination for Supervisors inaugurated dtiTing the latter part of the year promises to be productive of 

improved relations between the several divisions. 

While there was a large reduction in our roster of personnel, only 

75 employees were actually separated by reduction in force and fewer than 

ten of these had permanent status. The other separations were by retirement 

or resignation or separation for cause. This excellent record was achieved 

by diligent effort in the Personnel Division to effect suitable reassig~~ents 

of personnel from divisions being reduced. Turnover in the main Office 

amounted to 10.8 percent. A summary of personnel statistics follows:

PURCHASING 

The procurement activity of the Purchasing Division held at almost the 

identical dollar value as during the preceding fiscal year. The dollar 

value of $37,400~000 is a decline of only about three percent from the previous 

year. A breakdown of these figures in round numbers, shows that commercial 

printing amounted to $16,400,000; paper and envelopes totaled $17,200 1 000, 

and all other supplies and services accounted for $3,800.000. This breakdown shows a decline of about 20 percent in purchases of machinery and 

materials and 15 percent on commercial printing. 

The number of orders drawn totaled 17,253 as compared to 19,367 in 1953, 

a decrease of about 11 percent. 

Our purchases of paper declined six percent from the previous year. 

Total purchases amounted to 124,419,612 pounds as compared with 132~187,188 

pounds in 1953. The number of orders placed decreased two percent to 2,743. 

Complete coverage was obtained on all quarterly contracts for the first 

time many yearso Prices were steady throughout the year, reflecting an 

overall decline of about two percent. 

Our inventory declined more than 5,000,000 pounds during the year, from 

527,522 pounds to 19~338,028 pounds. This is the lowest level of paper 

carried in stock in 13 years. 

PLANNING 

processed during the year declined from 94,552 to 88,639. Other

Many large savings to the Government result from the detailed production 

plans developed in the Plant Plamrning Division, and even from suggestions 

offered in the Division of Planning Service while work is in the reviewing 

or scheduling stages. For example, although the Office has a recurring 

economy amounting to about a quart.er million dollars annually from the 

redesign of income-tax forms three years ago, next year there will be a 

further saving of $158,750 by substitution of 36-pound paper for 40 pound 

and by elimination of self-mailing seals. Savings on hundreds of other jobs 

range from a few dollars to many thousands. 

Studies made on Patent Office printing show already accepted or 

potential economies of about $107iOOO. These surveys of Patent Office work 

have been practically a year~~round operation,. }laving as their objective the 

maximQT savings possible on this item of public printing. 

The Planning Manager proposed and the Joint Committee on Printing 

approved the elimination of certain material carried from the Daily Record 

to the Bound which will cut about $100 3 000 annually from the ~9st of the 

Congressional Record. 

Close control over use of color print!ng, elimination of waste in 

composition, space"' layout and design have also brought about extensive 

economiesd 

Increasingly good service from paper suppliers., close supervision of 

inventories.11 and adequate warehousing facilities have removed many of the 

problems experienced in the past in the maintenance of paper supplies. 

PRODUCTION DIVISIONS 

In the Production Divisions the second shift was virtually eliminated 

to save the cost of premitun pay and recover production time lost by overlapping of personnel. The saving resulting from this action amounted to 

approximately $200~000. 

The Night Composing Division worked 1081 637 hours of overtime to satisfy 

urgent demands for the Congressional printing. 
Renewed emphasis has been placed on classified printing. A large 

number of employees and officials have been subjected to full-field investigation and security cages were constructed, wherever it was necessary, to 

isolate such work. 

Additional space is sorely needed in the Bindery workrooms. 

Air-conditioning of many workrooms has benefited the morale of employees 

and increased their production. 

Congressional Record and Congressional Printing 

More than average activity in the Congress resulted in 152 issues of 

the Record~ totaling 19~908 pages, an average of 130.9 pages~ the highest in 

many years. Approval of an Office proposal to eliminate from the Bound Record 

extraneous material of the Appendix will result in an annual saving of 

$100$000. 

Bill printing, in number of forms, increased to 12,727, a gain of 16 

percent over last year. House and Senate Calendars amounted to 75,004 pages, 

nearly twice the number corrected and printed in the previous year. 

Committee hearings printed amounted to 464, 35 percent over the previous 

year. Appropriation hearings contained 38,799 pages. Many of these hearings 

exceeded 29 000 pages each and three had more than 3,000 pages. 

The Internal Revenue Code was in process of development since September 

1953. After being printed and proofed many times in its developmental stages, 

the final print in slip-law form~ made 1,024 pages, of which more than 

50,000 copies were produced. 

The Budget and Appendixj printed in two parts, totaled 1,826 pages. 

Binding Division 

There was a slight decline in workload during the year, including commercial contract printing delivered to this division for folding or other 

finishing operations. Thirty~five obsolete pieces of equipment were disposed 

of and replacement or new requirements resulted in the installation of 33 

new machines. 

The biggest program handled in the Bindery was the processing of the 

Internal Revenue forms. A few statistics indicate the extraordinary amount 

of work involved:

i.nstrumental in reducing lost-time injuries 

in several years. 

Composing Division 

More than 2-1/3 billion ems of type were set during the fiscal year 

1954~ a slight increase over last year's production. About 10 million pounds 

of type metal was used. 

Letteroress Division 

The printing of income tax forms in this division» our largest single 

program, required 39~780~277 press impressions over a 55-day working period. 

These forms used 133,000 pounds of printing ink. 

The magnesium plates now used in this division for many classes of work 

are bringing about economical and efficient production after a short period 

of experimentation. 

Postal cards of all kinds produced in the Postal Card Section totaled 480,100,000~ showing a st rise in requirements after the change in 

rate to 2 cents. The cost per thousand cards to the Post Office was reduced 

approximately 10 percent. 

Offset Division 

This division was established in March 1954 by consolidation of 

previously the responsibility of a 

six new presses were installed to personnel~ equipment and 

number of divisions. During the 

replace old and obsolete 

was purchased and placed 

34-l/2. million inches of 

impressions a 

s equipm~mt. A 40 x 40-inch camera also 

in operation. The division produced more than 

platemaking and ran more than 127 million press 
Platemaking Division 

The complete square~inch production of all types of printing media--

engravings, negatives, plates and stereotypes mats was 43,90S,816 square 

inches. Printing media shipped to contractors for commercial printing 

jobs totaled 782,522. 

Library of Congress Branch 

Library Cards printed the Library Composing Section decreased from 

32~208,323 to 30,094,325. These cards are set in more than a hundred languages 

and dialects in Roman, Greek, Hebrew and Cyrillic and Gaelic alphabets. Binding, rebinding and lettering of books also fell off from 58,497 to 56,383, but 

repairs to the Library1 s volumes increased from 4,575 to 13,877. 

Field Service Division 

This division maintains plants and offices in Chicago, Denver, New York, 

San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D. C.~ as well as the Government Printing 

Office--Department of State Service Office, also in Washi.ngton. The combined 

dollar output was $4,023,387.45$ an increase of about $25,000 over the previous year. Full-time employees on the rolls declined from 472 to 449. 

DIVISION OF TESTS AND TECHNICAL CONTROL 

The Office tested 12,048 samples during the year and rejected 412 

deliveries for non-compliance with specifications. Paper received totaled 

137~585,661 pounds, of which 8~725~960 pom1ds, or 6.34 percent, was rejected for deficiencies. During the year~ many changes were made in paper 

specifications; the number of lots or grades was reduced by elimination 

or consolidation and a number of weight standards were revised. These 

changes were all made in the interest of economy, to make our specifications 

conform more nearly to paper trade customs or to improve our relations with 

dealers by broadening the basis for biddu1g. 

The division cooper~ted with other agencies in research and experiments 

on the printing of paper containing bagasse, wheatstraw and other agricultural 

residues, and carried on its normal function of tests and experiments with 

inks, adhesives, chemicals, type and plate metals and other regular supplies 

and materials used by this Office. 
MAINTENANCE DIVISION 

The maintenance force was reduced by a total of 35 employees without 

seriously affecting program or losing highly skilled mechanics. 

Postal card handling has been made fully automatic, thereby reducing 

the personnel of the Postal Card Section by approximately 42. 

Other important work of the division included: 

Installation of new offset presses and camera. 

Replacement of water, air, oil and steam piping. 

Removal of Roller Casting Room from second to fifth floor to permit 

installation of presses. 

Building of grills and cages for production of classified printing. 

Installation of air-conditioning and ducts in many areas of Office. 

Remodeling of Book Store and installation of conveyor belt from 

Shipping Section to Store. 

Installation of four hydraulic docks in the Warehouse. 

The Building Section made extensive repairs to the Government Printing 

Office properties, and the Carpenter and Paint Section has maintained the • 

buildings in excellent condition and appearance. 

The Machine Shop had an active year, with 84 machines being returned 

to Stores and 50 new machines being installed. The removals and installations were in addition to repair and maintenance work on all running 

equipment. 

Our electrical system requires continuous maintenance, repairs and 

extension and during the year the Electrical Section answered calls for 

263 maintenance job orders and 17,5S3 for service. 

Safety work, the responsibility of this division, has resulted in an 

all-time low in disabling injury frequency and severity rates. The Office 

received from the National Safety Council an Award of Honor and a First 

Place award for the lowest frequency rate among the printing companies 

entered in the Council's contest. The Council also awarded the Office 

two Awards of Merit for sustained periods without injuries. 

DIVISION OF PUBLIC DOCill~NTS 

Number of orders received, totaling 2,212,096, broke all previous records. 

Sales aggregated $4,Sl9,30l.S2. Miscellaneous receipts turned into the 

United States Treasury amounted to $1~901,360.74. More than 3,800 1 000 copies 

of publications were mailed to depository libraries and 66,730,000 were mailed 

by the division for other Government agencies. In addition, the division filled 

6S6,025 orders for mailing of 12,005,655 copies of Agriculture Department 

publications from that department and Members of Congress. Blank lists sent to 

Members of Congress for distribution to their constituents totaled 11,170,432. 

Nearly 46 million publications were sold and total distribution of publications 

amounted to 130,605,359.
