Byrd Sees Alarming
Rise in u. 5. Payroll,
Still CONTINUING

An alarming" increase In the
Federal payroll still continues, de-
spite the cessation of the war,
Chairman BYRD of the Congress
sional Economy Committee declared
today as he moved for an early dis
missal of 100000 of Uncle Sam S
5000 900 civilian workers.
Liquidation of the war agencies,
plus elimination of unnecessary
peacetime activities, he indicated,
should permit payroll saving
amounting to upward of five billion
dollars annually.
1900 Rise in July.
Though the war in Europe ended
about two months previous, there
was an increase in the Federal pay
roll of nearly $4,000 in July, Senator
Byrd reported.
Protesting that more than half OF
the agencies which showed payroll
increases in July were engaged in
peacetime activities, Chairman Byrd
said:
Departments and agencies must
be made to realize that the war
workers are to be encouraged to
find jobs in private enterprise, and
not to be absorbed in continuing
Government agencies Many of
them, evidently, have thus far
failed to realize this"
Trend Still Continued.
Commenting that the July record
shows on a net basis the alarm
ing upward trend" still continues,
Chairman Byrd said:
Il emphasized in my statement
Of July rs. 1915, the necessity of a
reduction in civilian employment in
the Federal Government. This pres
ent report indicates that many de-
partments and agencies instead OF
reducing payrolls have shown that
they have no intention whatsoever
of eliminating personnel in order to
rid the taxpayers on nonessential
Federal expenditures.
The President has shown praise
worthy speed in liquidating the OF.
flee of War Information, the Once
of Censorship and the Office oil
Civilian Defense already. The Presi.
dent together with the Congress
should bend every effort toward i'm.
mediate elimination of all other wal
and nonessential activities so that
the Nation can return to normal
peacetime economy. 1t will be a well
come indication to the American
taxpayer that his hard-earned
money is being spent by an economy
minded Congress on debt-reduction
and the essentialities Of Govern
ment."

Boundary Bill
| Virginia Senator
Announces He Will
Support Measure
BY DON S. WARREN.

Prospects of final congressional
action on the House-approved bill to
settle the century, old District-Vir-
ginia boundary controversy bright
ened today with statements from
two members of the Senate.
One new development was that
Senator Byrd. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, whose opposition might have
stymied the program, since his State
is principal party in the issue, an
nounced his general support of the
legislation.
Another of like importance was a
promise by Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee to which
the House bill has been referred, to
name subcommittee promptly to
consider the measure.
Byrd Explains Stand.
While explaining he had not made
a study of the House BILL Senator
Byrd said he was familiar with its
detectives, gave general Endorsement
OF its terms and voiced hope for
prompt Senate action.
Generally speaking" he said,
1.-The House bill appears to be a good
solution of a most difficult problem
and it should be given prompt con-
sideration in the Senate"
In answer to pleas from officials
from the Justice Department and
other agencies for a solution of the
legal mo Mans Land" along the
Virginia shore of the Potomac.
opposing factions of the House
agreed on a plan last June and it
was adopted without a fight in the
House.
Boundary Set In Bill.
This makes the new boundary the
prevailing highwater mark on the
Virginia shore and places the Wash
ington National Airport the storm
center of the issue under the exclu-
sive jurisdiction of the Federal Gov
eminent. However, important pow
ers over the airport property still
are reserved to Virginia.
For one thing, Virginia is, given
the right to tax sales of motor vehi-
Gle fuels and oils for highway use
in the airport. For another, it can
serve legal processes in the port.
And, thirdly, Virginia is granted
absolute control over manufacture,
sale, transportation or use of alcoho-
lie beverages at the airport.
These reservations were written
into the House bill at the request
Of Representative Smith, Democrat,
Of Virginia who then became one of
its sponsors.
Senator Byrd noted yesterday that
the pending bill also requires con-
currency by the Virginia Legislature
before its terms become final.

Labor Advances
By Ruth DembO

The war against Japan reached a new stage with the issuance ok the Berlin proclamation calling for the unconditional surrender of Ja". pan "or else" The Proclamation by the three great powers gave the Japanese government chance to get out of the war now or face prompt destruction of the Japan csc armed forces and utter devas- tation of the Japanese homeland.
 Calling for reason on the pare of the Japanese people, the allies stated that the time has come to rid Japan of the military ruling clique that Is responsible for the war and to bring forth "new or. der of peace, security, and justice.
 Until these objectives are carried out the allies promise occupation of certeain parts of Japanese ter- ritory. Also punishment is to be meted out to all war criminals and industry stripped down to those essentials to permit separations i'm kind.
 Calling for an overthrow of Ja- pans political dictatorship the ale lies demanded that freedom of speech, of religion. and of thought as well as respect for the funda- mental human rights shall be es- tablished." And this means en- couraging the growth of demo- cratic tendencies among the Japan ese people.
 The alternative to allied terms are new allied blows against Ja- pan until she is utterly destroyed. Japan would be wise to end the war now and accept allied terms. The Japanese fascist-military Sys- tenn that started this war must bo overthrown at once and Japan's capacity to ever again wage war completely eliminated. Fascism is dying all over the world. Japan which Is one of the last strong holds must be rid of this poison R the world is to know peace.

Veteran Trying To Unseat Anti-Labor Rep. Smith

Alexandria, Va.-A new David has taken the political arena to challenge the anti-union Goliath of the 9th Congressional District of Virginia, Rep. Howard w. Smith.
 Undeterred by previous unsuc- cessful attempts to unseat Smith by other candidates, Major James c. Tate, an overseas veteran of this war, has thrown his hat into the ring against the incumbent union hater for the Democratic nomina- tion, which is equivalent to elec- tion.
 Although the primaries are still more than a year off, Major Tate said he will start an active cam paign immediately.
 And in outlining his platform, Major Tate emphasized that he will uphold the right of labor to organ ize and bargain collectively. Rep. Smith is one of the authors of the obnoxious Connally- Smith Act and has repeatedly introduced legis- lation seeking to destroy labor'S rights.
 Major Tate, who served overseas in the ina-Burma- India Air Ser vice Command, retired from the Army last March and has since been employed as national infor- nation director at the headquarters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. His platform calls for support of President Truman's policies, full employment through development of industries in his district, ade- quate legislation for veterans, in- creased income for farmers and State action to eliminate the poll tax in Virginia.

Well, the two battled it out first

to be outdone when the case came

"Have-a-Drink" came off with the

That's the impression we were

Trade Winds. we discovered that
MS grease paint tendencies run in
