Federal StreamIinine
Urged by Randolph

The Government cannot afford
the luxury OF the duplication Of
effort performed by its more than
1880 different agencies, departments
and bureaus Representative RAN
dolph. chairman Of the House Civil
Service Committee, told the Wash
inston Advertising Club yesterday
in plea for streamlining the Fed
eral structure.
Declaring past efforts at Federal
streamlining had come to nothing
because I'VE abolished agencies but
failed to abolish their functions, u
Mr.. Randolph called on President
Truman to follow through" with
his efforts to put the Government
on a workable. paying basis.
Had the job been left to Congress
he added, it probably never would
have been done"
The way to start, he asserted. is
by combining the War and Navy
Departments into a single depart
ment of national defense.
The West Virginia Democrat
speaking at the Statler Hotel also
advocated pairing down Congress,
which he said could operate more
effciently with $50 less members. ~
Improved transportation and COM
munications, he said, make 1t pos
sible for Congressman to represent
an area twice the size of the territory
they were responsible for 80 years
ago.

for their prize fighting without
either being willing to lose" Mr.
Randolph asserted the general
public was being struck below the
belt rather than caught in the
middle" by squabbles which are

of noncommercial, educational OF
cultural offering.
Violators would be subject to a
years imprisonment or a $1,000 fine

mittee said that if practices now in
effect. continued, the broadcastine
industry might have to pay $40, 900,

Congress was urged yesterday by
Representative Hoffman, Republican
OF Michigan, to force the Communi-
cation Commission to prevent broad
casts af false propaganda directed
at members of Congress"
He criticized Walter Winchell and
Quentin Reynolds and said the
American Broadcasting Co. should
be compelled by the commission to
surrender its license.
1t is over ABC's national network,

Is perpitted to broadcast false
charges against members of Con-
gress and against Congress itself
He told the House that Mr.. Win
chell, in broadcast on March II,
falsely accused me of saying the
veterans were selfish and greedy"
Mr.. Hoffman said the attack" on
him was part of "a pattern which
shows that there is a concerted
effort to destroy the power of Con-
gress by abuse, by attributing un-
worthy motives to the members of
this body"
1t was in this connection that he
cited broadcast of Mr.. Reynolds
relating to the Houses action on

April 3 Dead|ine Set
For Vote on Draft by
Senate Committee
BY fhs Asseeio,sd Press

The Senate Military Affairs
Committee today set April 8 as
the deadline for a vote on
whether to extend the draft Law
and, II so, for how long.
Meantime, 1t will hold hearings
on the need for continued induc-
tions. These probably will begin to-
morrow, with selective service. Army
and Navy ofiicials as witnesses. OPP
ponents will be heard later.
A unanimous. informal agreement
on this procedure brought express
sicns of satisfaction from members
contending both for and against a
years extension of selective service,
now due to expire May Is.
Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado told reporters the decision
on public hearings meant doing it
the American way"
Senator johnson opposed a move
in the committee by Senator Austin
Republican, of Vermont to recon-
mend full years extension without
public hearings.
But Senator Bridges, Republican
of New Hampshire, who supported
Senator Austin's move, said those
who believe there is clear need fol
extending the law had received def
mite assurance against prolonged de-
lay.
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, OF
Wyoming. proposed the April
deadline, with public hearings
meanwhile, after the committee had
split evenly yesterday over Senator
Austin's move and counter-propo-
sal from Senator johnson. The
latter wanted a six-week extension
with public hearings on whether the
draft should be continued longer
than that.
Senator johnson said the real
issue involved is whether there
should be any public hearings.
The committee heard Secretary OF
State Byrnes, Secretary of War Pat
terson and Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal argue last week for a year S
extension. However, the public was
barred from the discussions, which
were reported to have dealt at
length with the international situa-

aspects appear to require a longer
time for the board to make its re-

sions for the first week, but prior
engagements make it impossible
for him to be present the entire time
