Mead Committee
Starts Check on Drive
To Find Rail Workers

An agent of the Senate War
Investigating Committee today
began querying half a dozen
Government agencies to find out
what steps are being taken to
recruit $4,000 workers the COM
mittee was told are urgently
needed on the railroads to push
the war against Japan.
President Truman recognized the
urgency of the problem in recent
message, but Col. j. Monroe john
son, director of the once of Defense
Transportation, told the Senate
committee yesterday the outlook for
obtaining the workers is pretty
gloomy
If the Army could furlough the
10000 experienced railroad men
sought by Col. johnson for Western
roads, the remainder would still have
to be recruited through the volun-
tary appeals of other agencies.
Chairman Mead indicated at yes
terday's hearing that he thought it
would be better to furlough more
experienced railroad men from the
Army than to have the redeploy-
ment of troops from Europe to the
Pacific break down.
Col. johnson told the Senators
zone railroad man working on a
railroad is worth 100 railroad men
in the Army"
In connection with similar ap-
peal for the release of coal miners
to avert fuel shortage next win
ter, however, the Army has taken
the position that furloughs by oc-
cupational groups would disrupt the

public last night, that his sue
cessor. Fred M. Vinson, should
be given policy control over all
spending, lending and insuring done
by Government agencies. In this
same report, he asked that the
Budget Bureau be put back" under
the Treasury.
1t was this recommendation which
brought Mr.. Smiths comment that
his bureau had never been under
Treasury control, although it had a
loose connection" with that de-
partment until 1899.
The retiring Secretary also sug-
sested in his report that the Treas
ury be given control over the spend
ing, lending, borrowing and insuring
policies of such agencies as the Re-
construction Finance Corp, the
Agriculture Department, the Ma
tional Housing Agency and the Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corp.
To coordinate Government f.
nancial policy at the top, Mr..
Morgenthau suggested the forma-
ton of a National Committee for
Fiscal Affairs" Of which the Secre-
tary of the Treasury would be chair
man. He also suggested that 1t
probably would be advisable to move
many of the existing Government
corporations into executive depart
ments.
Under the present setup, Mr..
Morgenthau told a news conference.
mo man can be a real watchdog
of the Treasury"
Despite some evidence of opposi-
ton IN quarters other than the
Budget Bureau, officials of the vari-
Gus fiscal agencies generally were
agreed today that more unity is
needed in fiscal policy.
And 1t seemed likely to observers
that the White House and Congress
indeed would strengthen the Treas
ury's authority in many ways with
Mr.. Vinson at the helm. Mr.. Tru-
mans desire to absorb agencies into
the regular departments and to give
his cabinet officers more response
