A noted writer has boiled down the
Townsend plan of maximum Of $500
a month for everyone over 60 years of
age. He says that income tax returns
indicate that about four million Amerl-
cans earn more than $3.50 month.
There are upward of II million Ameri-
cans over go. He supposes that 8
million of them are eligible for old age
pensions under the plan In order to
pay eight million aged persons pen
sion of even $40 month apiece, the
four million who would bear the tax
would have to pay an average of $40
a month apiece in old age pension
taxes, or $3.50 a year. To do that at
Dr.. Townsend's per cent, they would
have to earn an average of $4,000 a
year. Another writer comes back at
the first one with the adiom of figures

Bay
Entered by
Survey Boat
| 1907 Ton Vessel Believed
Largest Craft Ever TO
Make Entrance

Any boatman who has experienced
row channel of the entrance to Lii
tuya Bay can appreciate what it
means to take an ll00-ton vessel
through that gap.
1t. Comdr. r. l.. Schoppe, in COM
mand of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey vessel Surveyor, arrived in
port today with that vessel and re-
vealed that the 1856 foot Surveyor
has been taken into Lituya Bay four
times this season.
The Geodetic Survey, laying pre-
else beach traverse between Lituya
Bay and Yakutat, had to put par
ties ashore at Lituya Bay and check
previous soundings Of the bay.
1--WE had to go in" Commander
Schcppc declared, adding. II won't
recommend that channel for any
boat
The entrance to Litlya Bay, mar
row and shallow, with twenty square
miles of deep water behind it that
must surge in and out on every
tide, can be negotiated only at slack
water
The channel, between the two
fathom curves representing II feet
of water, is not much over 30 feet
in depth. With the Surveyor draw
ing Is feet. little margin is left for
comfort.
1t is believed the Surveyor is tire
largest beat ever to enter Lituya
Bay.
Surveyors aboard the ship are
working towards completion of a
missing link in accurate survey of
the Alaskan coast, filling accu-
rately that sketched in portion of
the charts between Dry Bay and
Lituya Bay.
Shore parties are working north
from Lituya Bay. but because OF
the necessary preciseness Of the sur
vey, it is not expected the job will
be completed for several seasons.
Commander Schoppe reported that
the wreck Of the old motorship Pat
terson, north of Cape Fairweather
is still more or less intact, with
| the two masts still standing and
the hull nearly buried in sand.
Also aboard the Surveyor is En-
gineer to the International Boun-
Diary Commission, Jesse Hill, who
with a small party, is working with
the Geodetic Survey men.
The Surveyor will be in port at
the Government Wharf until Tues
day, cleaning out boilers, before
returning to the Cape Fairweather
area.

the unbroken record Of the Roose-
velt administration. As of Feb
ruary %, 1888, the executive civil
rolls carried only 563, ,487 names. To
that pay roll the Roosevelt admins
tration has added more than SIC, 900
full-time workers. Today the Fed
eral pay roll carries, In peacetimes,
approximately 10000 more names
than at the peak Of the war ex-
pansion in 1918.
New Deal Powerless.
Such recurring evidence of run
away bureaucracy in the Federal
establishment gives substance to the
growing belief throughout the Ma
ton that the New Deal administra-
ton is powerless to control its ex-
penditures or to bring the Federal
budget into balance. This opinion,
In turn, leads to a growing convic-
ton that only through a change of
administration may Federal finances
be put in order and the Federal
credit soundly protected.
Because it is obvious that budget
management is completely out of
hand In the executive branch, 1t is
essential that the Congress assume
leadership toward sound fiscal man
agement. A beginning in this di-
rection has been proposed by Sena-
tor Harrison Of Mississippi, chair
man of the Senate Committee on
Finance. Senator Harrison pro-
poses creation Of a special Joint
committee Of the House and Senate
to inquire into the whole question
Of taxes, spending and deficits.
Such procedure was recommended
by Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau last year when he appeared
before the Ways and Means Com
mittee Of the House. Such a joint
committee, Secretary Morgenthau
said, would in effect be lens
through which all appropriations
and revenue measures could be
viewed in relationship both to what
the Nation needs and what the Ma
ton can afford"
I am gratif1ed to note that active
steps looking to the creation of such
a joint committee have now been
taken.
The New Taxes.
In connection with the Presidents
proposal for $460,000, 900 in new
taxes, the committee properly could
inquire first how far we might go
In reducing wasteful and unneces-
sary expenditures, before piling on
additional burdens Of taxes.
The Federal tax structure already
Is oppressive and has been a serious
drag on solid and sustained eco
nomic recovery.
Recent polls of public opinion
Evening star., 1940-01-16

representative government itself
all these problems reduce ultimately
to the overall problem of orderly
Federal finances.
The last seven years have amply
demonstrated that none of our
other national problems can be
solved on sound and permanent
basis so long as we continue to drift
in the dangerous shoals of loose fis-
cal policy.
Mr. Roosevelt at one time acknowl-
edged this fundamental principle.
In a radio address from Albany.
N. Y, July 20. 1882, he promised
IAN immediate and drastic reduction
of governmental expenditures by
abolishing useless commissions and
offices, consolidating departments
and bureaus and eliminating ex-
travagance, to accomplish a saving
of not less than Is per cent in the
cost of Federal Government"
At that time, the Federal Govern
ment was operating on a budget of
$4000,000,000 a year. A reduction
of 25 per cent would have meant a
budget of $4,000, 100000 a year. That
was the promise
But Today
But today the record shows that
Mr.. Roosevelt's seven budgets have
averaged a little more than S8,O00,-
100000 a year. Instead of a net re-
duction of Is per cent, the Nation
has been given a net increase of
100 per cent annually in Federal ex-
penditures!
Throughout these years only about
SIS per cent of these vast Federal
expenditures have been covered by
revenues. The remaining IS per cent
have been financed through the in
crease of the public debt.
On the basis of the 1941 budget,
the end of the Roosevelt admins
tration will find us with a national
debt of S347 for every man, woman
and child in the country, or aproxi-
mately sl,500 for the average family.
Evening star., 1940-01-16

= national debt Of only 1880, 900 900
and we faced no difnculty In raising
$25 900 900 900 during the subsequent
war emergency. Today 1t would
net be so easy to raise q compar-
able amount, when we already have
a budgeted debt approaching $45,-
600 900 900.
In 1916 our sources Of revenue were
as yet largely untapped. Today they
have been almost completely ex-
hausted. Then we had no unem-
ployment problem, no dislocation of
business and industry, no farm prob
lem. Today all these problems are
with us, despite seven years of New
Deal panaceas and pump-p printing
schemes.
We can never achieve real national
security or lasting recovery until our
national finances have been put
upon q sound basis.
The country was told repeatedly
over a period Of five years that great
economies could be realized through
reorganization of the executive bu-
reaus and departments. About a
year ago Congress passed q reorgan-
ization bill giving the President
broad authority to consolidate and
regroup the Federal agencies, and
under that authority the President
transmitted his first reorganization
scheme to Congress on April Is,
1889.
What Are the Results?
In that message he predicted a
saving of between $15,00O,O0 and
$20, 900, 900 year. But what are the
actual results?
The answer Is found in the official
reports of the United States Civil
Service Commission. These records
show that during the first four
months following the Presidents re-
organization plan, no. less than
E,187 civil employees were added to
the Federal pay roll.
To put it another way, employ
ment in the executive branch in
creased from 1856, ,766 on April 80 to
932,953 on September /. Because of
this hasty expansion of the Federal
bureaucracy, the monthly pay roll
for the executive branch increased
from $133, ,000, 900 for April to SAL
000, 900 for August. Here is an in
crease of more than 100000 a
month in the executive pay roll, or
roundly $100,00O,000 year-all
within the space of four months in
1899!
That is typical experience under
the New Deal: A promised saving of
$20,000,000 year in April turned
out to be in September an actual
increase of sl00,O00,000 a year, with
47,l87 persons added to the pay roll
Such pay roll expansion has been

The per capita debt in 1882 was
but $131.
At the moment, the administra-
ton properly is building up our ma
tional defenseS; but nothing has
been done toward strengthening our
most vulnerable flank-our fiscal
position. Yet a strong fiscal position
is no less vital to national security
than adequate strength in arms and
men.
More Vulnerable Now.
While from the military standpoint
we are today better prepared than
in 1916. we are, from the financial
standpoint, in a much more vulner-

Can't Afford to Gamble,

No one can say exactly how much
national debt nation safely may
carry. But history has demon
strated many times that every ma
ton has limit beyond which 1t
dare not go. No nation can afford
to gamble on this vital point. It can
never be safe as matter Of public
policy, to see how close we might
come to the absolute debt limit
without overreaching it. In such
gamble, the chances of a miscal-
culation are all too frequent, and a
serious miscalculation could be dis
astrous beyond the imagination.
Wise policy demands, therefore,
