Of Corrective Measures

Bv the Associated Press.
Brig. Gen. James L. Frink. deputy
quartermaster general, said today a
concerted attack on food wastage
in the Army had resulted in a 10
per cent saving and that further
per cent cut is in prospect.
Gen. Frink testified at a closed
session of the Senate War Investi-
eating Committee but Chairman
Truman said later he presented a
survey of food wastage and causes
together with an outline of correc-
tive measures.
The committee was impressed
with the corrective measures taken
by the quartermaster division" Sem
ator Truman told reporters, adding
that the bulk of the food conserva
ton was accomplished by efforts in
individual camps.
For instance, it had been Gus
tomary to prepare meals for the
number of men in particular COM
pany, rather than the number of
men present on particular day
when 10 to IA per cent of the per-
sonnel might have been absent.
Under the new program meals
are prepared for those actually pres
ent"
Senator Truman said a public
hearing would be held next week on
alleged excessive War Department
purchases of canned goods and
other foodstuffs.

Confirmation of

Committee Approves PIor
To Include Employees
Of IVA in Measure
BY The Associated Press.

Reversing an earlier stand, the
Senate Judiciary Committee to-
day approved legislation reQuir-
ing Senate confirmation of most
Federal jobholders receiving
$4,000 or more year. including
employees of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority.
For more than two hours Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee
author of the measure, .battled fol
inclusion of the IVA jobholders
exempt under an amendment ap-
proved, to 5. in a previous COM
mittee vote. This time the vote was
! 9>to 3 to erase the amendment.
Passage Of the legislation-an
event President Roosevelt said would
be little less than tragic"-would
require confirmation of approx
mately 10000 appointees receiving
$4,000 or more annually who did not
have a civil service rating on Janu-
AIRY l, 1886.
This provision probably would re-
, quire Senate action on many high
Government officials.
Technical or scientific employees
or those in the armed forces or the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
