Probers Will Seek
Wizard Who Thinks
Up Questionnaires
Wed Like to Know
Says Chairman Byrd;
May Cut Appropriations
BY JAMES E. CHINN.


One of the next moves of the
Joint Committee on Reduction
of Non-essential Federal Expen-
ditures, Chairman Byrd said to-
day, will be an attempt" to find
the wizard" who thinks up all
the questions with which Gov
ernment agencies have deluged
American business and the pub
lie in the last year in the form of
questionnaires.
eve would like to know who
makes up these $64 questions" he
said, "but I doubt If we ever find
out"
The committee, composed of men,
bers of both the Senate and House
and Secretary of Treasury Morgen-
thau and Budget Director Smith,
will resume its investigation into
the plethora of Government ques-
tionnaires tearly next week. Mean
time, it expects heads of 81 Fed
eral departments and agencies to
furnish the members with copies
of all questionnaires and reports for
information with which business
concerns and individuals have been
forced to struggle since Pearl Har-
bor.
May Cut Appropriations.
Senator Byrd said the committee
would complete its inquiry into the
paper work" phase of the investi-
cation before the new Congress con-
venes in January. But after that,
ne predicted, there will be hell to
pay"
In explanation, he intimated Con-
greSS may cut off the appropria-
tions which are now being used by
the Government in swamping the
country with missionaries.
"The committees investigation so
far" declared Senator Byrd, has
shown that the Government has
sent out a fantastic number of ques-
tionnaires and requests for reports,
none of which has been standard
lied, and which cost both the Gov
ernment and the American public
thousands of dollars. In my opin-
ion, this constitutes very sub
stantial obstacle to the war effort
and a detriment to the morale of
the American people"
Indications are the committee
will resume its investigation Mon
day. Leon Henderson, director of
the Office of Price Administration,
which has been accused of being
one of the chief offenders in the
QUESTIONABLE epidemic, is expected
to be called among the first wit
nesses.
Waste of Time and Money.
The avalanche of questionnaires
and other forms the Government is
demanding that American business
and the private citizen answer, were
denounced before the committee
yesterday by representatives of both
big and little business concerns and
farmers.
Representatives of the business
concerns complained that too much
money and too much time was be-
ing wasted in answering the Gov
ernment questionnaires, and the
farmer representatives walled loud
ly about the small amount Of gaso-
line allowed the farmer under ma
tional rationing to carry on his ac-

u. 5. May Register Boys
OF IA, Official Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 4.-Exten-
sion of selective service registration
to include youths down to IA years
of age is being considered, Maj.
Luther K. Brice of the State selec-
tive service office told high school
assembly here yesterday.
Maj. Brice said the object of the
suggested registration would be to
provide elementary military train
ing. and that it would not have the
effect of making the youths liable
for Army service before they
reached 18.
Maj Brice said no action on such
a plan had been proposed. but that
1t was being considered. He added
that an act of Congress would be
required to lower present registra-
ton ages.
Selective service officials here said
they knew of no formal plans to
register 14-year-olds. However, there
has been some mention on Capitol
Hill Of making military education
in high schools compulsory.

subsequent placement in war work.
3. Those qualified for other pri-
vate, or public employment.
4. Those other employable persons
not acceptable by industry under
current specifications of employers,
who now hire great numbers Of
older persons and handicapped per-
sons formerly considered not en-
playable.
MIR. Roosevelt recalled that the
Federal Government accepted the
responsibility of providing useful
employment for those who were able
and willing to work, but who could
find no opportunities in private in
dustries" when the WPA was es-
tablished IN May. 1885.
In contending that experience
has amply justified this policy" the
President said:
by building airports, schools,
highways and parks; by making
huge quantities of clothing for the
unfortunate; by serving millions of
lunches to school children; by al
most immeaSurable kinds and guam
titles of service, the Works Projects
Administration has reached a crea-
tive hand into every county in this
Nation.
1T has added to the national
wealth; has repaired the waStage of
depression, and has strengthened
the country to bear the burden of
war. BY employing eight millions
of Americans with 30,000,000 of de-
pendents, it has brought to these
people renewed hope and courage.
1t has maintained and increased
their working skills, and it has en-
abled them once more to take their
rightful places in public or in pri-
vate employment.
Every employable American should
be employed at prevailing wages in
war industries, on farms, or in other
private or public employment, The
Work Projects Administration rolls
have greatly decreased through the
tremendous increase in private en-
ployment assisted by the training
and unemployment efforts of its
own organization to a point where
national work relief program is no
longer necessary"
