Co-operatives Held Key
To Postwar Security
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. June 10.-Repre-
sentative Voorhis, Democrat, of Cali
fornia declared today that producers
and consumers co-operatives would
provide the golden means" to in
sure freedom and security in the
, United States, and healthy re-
habilitation of postwar Europe.
Representative Voorhis, speaking
at meeting of the Northeastern
Farm Bureau Conference, said If
c5 per cent of American consumers
were organized today into con-
sumers' co-operatives we would have
little use for the OPA, except to pre-
vent monopolies from taking advan-
tage of situations where they con-
troll the supply OF a critical product" :"

Earlier Story on Page A-3.)

After the revelation that Off
GERS in the War Department do
not report separations from serv-
ice or requisitions for new en-
ployes to William H. Kushnick,
director Of civilian personnel and
training in the department,
Chairman ,Ramspeck and other
members Of the House Civil Serv-
ice Investigating Committee to-
day questioned the personnel
chief to determine just what is
the function of that Office if he
doesn't know what is going on"
Chairman Ramspeck asked if he
should not issue notice to all per-
sonnel men requesting them to noti-
fly him prior to separations and not
afterward, so that he could make a
survey and see if they could not be
used elsewhere instead of recruiting
new employees and bringing them to
Washington.
Mr.. Ramspeck argued there is not
in the War Department any ma
chinery for ,inter-agency transfer of
personnel. He and other members
of the committee, felt that after
working three to six months an en-
ploye had gained certain amount
of Government knowledge which
would make them easier to train or
transfer to some other service COM
mands." than new employees re-
cruited throughout the country. Mr..
Kushnick's replies were that even
tually he caught up with" what
was going on, or became aware"
of it..
Mr.. Kushnick admitted that when
the Dependents Benefits Division
was moved to Newark, N. j. some
400 to 800 stood around with nothing
to do. Mr.. Ramspeck estimated this
condition existed for at least a week
Eight hundred or more received ter
mination notices without Mr.. Kush-
hicks office being informed and later
he had survey made and found
that number Of them could be
used"
Chairman Ramspeck also said he
could not understand why five COM
missioned off1cers-tWo lieutenant
colonels and three captains-were
necessary in the Division of Finance,
ION top Of a civilian administrative
staff, about the normal number for
non military agency, when the
agency has only 325 employees.
