fore the Public Utilities Commits

1882 WORKERS
ADDED BY HINES.

Although admitting that, over
an 18-month period, 1882 more
employees had been added by the
Veterans Administration, it is the
contention of Gen. Frank T. Hines
that this additional expense has
been more than offset by some of
the many economies resulting
from the consolidation of the vet
Grams offices.
General Hines, who this week
has been sharply quizZed at the
Capitol on personnel and other
matter, has this to say about
the personnel phase of his depart
ment:
addition rSOnnel has
been necessary to meet the
urgent situation confronting
the Veterans Administration
during the past Is months, if
relief were to be expeditions.
"Of the total of the 1882
net additional personnel as
signed to duty, 1882, or ap-
prOximatcly 68 per cent, repre-
resents additional personnel as
signed to combined facilities,
hospitals and homes, due essen
TALLY to Increased accOmmOda-
tiOns providing for veterans"

diverted from the Mcclellan 10
per cent plan" Administration
Senators carried forward the Ad-
ministration's battle against an
economy plan that would cause
dismissal of thousands OF en-
ployeS.
President Hoover's view is that
while the Administration has
asked private industry to stagger
employment to provide more jobs,
Congress is engaged in turning
faithful Government employees
into the street.
This, he holds, can be pre-
vented by putting into effect MS
furlough plan, under which
Government employees would be
laid off for month without pay.
BY this means, he believes, en-
ployment in the Government
could be increased and cost
leSsened.
The Economy Committee, after
struggling for weeks to evolve q
reorganization plan of its own,
capitulated by lodging broad au'
thority in the President to reor'
ganize bureaus subject to 60
day veto by Congress.

vided by the committee by con-

The last proposal is designed
to standardize Government con-
