THE PUBLIC PAYROLL

recent report of the Joint Committee on Re- duction of Non- Essential Expenditures lists the num- Der of Federal employees at home and abroad in March as 900 The size of this payroll shows clearly why salaries make the largest single item in the Federal budget and why reduction of the budget is impossible without reduction of the payroll
 Since the end of hostilties the War and Navy Departments have reduced the number of their civilian employees by 1573O0O The end of the OPA also meant large reduction in personnel. But the total number of Federal employees in the same period had decreased only by 1,4l7000.
 In other words, various departments are still adding to their payrols The figures show that at time when personnel reductions supposed to be made more than l5O0oO employees were added at time when most Federal departments were SUD- posed discontinung various activitves undertaken because of the war.
 The truth is that the padding still goes on and will be stopped only through Congressional action in trimming appropriations

Angeles recently, the local Demo- cratic committee, under pressure from ex-attorney General Bob Kenny, county chairman Rollin McNitt. and Jimmy Roosevelt, fin ely voted to welcome Wallace.
 Wallace, attracting the largest Democratic political crowd since the days of FDR assailed the Tru- man Doctrine, was roundly cheered by local Democrats When word of ;he Wallace triumph filtered back to Washington, Secretary Snyder rushed over to the White House, told Truman he was going to pull out o1 the Los Angeles Jefferson Day dinner Snyder, long one of the closest men to Truman, also sold him on the idea of "disciplin
 ing" Los Angeles Democrats.
 Accordingly, Truman went 70 the extreme length of ordering execu- tive director Gael Sullivan to with draw from the party campaign

dinner, leaving Mrs, Roosevelt high and-dry on the Los Angeles plat form all by herself.
 Informed of this simultaneously, Sullivan, an adroit hand at healing party breaches, warned the White House that in a democracy there must be room for people with all sorts of opinions. A purge, he warned was bad business. Truman was readily convinced, but not MT. Snyder. He wouldn't budge.
 Note-In order to hush up the hot intra- party feud, the White House whipped up the lame excuse that an urgent Cabinet meeting would keep Secretary Snyder in Washington.

THE BILBOS OF MICHIGAN

Two Senators from Michigan are employing unusual tactics in block ing democratic procedure and the course of good government. They are Arthur Vandenberg and Homer Ferguson, both Republicans, who for five long months have been sit ting Cn two important appoint ments, refusing to let the Senate take vote on confirmation.
 Senator Ferguson, Chairman of Judiciary Subcommittee, has been blocking vote on Philip Perlman of Baltimore as Solicitor General of the United States. And Senator Vandenberg, Chairman of the For elgn Relations Committee, has been blocking vote on Francis Riddle as U. s. Delegate to the United Nations Social and Econ- omic Committee.
 Both Michiganders have been sitting on these appointments since January. January to June is a long t.me to held up important appoint ments. It so happens that the Sol icitor Generals is the 2nd top legal post in the U. s. Government. His lob is to argue all cases before the Supreme Court. However, despite an extremely busy court calendar Senator Ferguson did not even hold hearings on Perlman until May 14 In other words he waited from January until May without even giving the friends or enemies of Perlman a chance to be heard. No government can operate efficiently under such delay
 Senator Vandenherg was equally slow Though Francis Riddle is a former member of the Cabinet served as U s. judge to try the Nazi war criminals at Nuremburg, and is a former judge on the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals, Vanden- berg simply sat on his nomination. Finally, in May he had one brief hearing, but since then has not permitted either the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee ol the Senate itself to vote on Riddle

UNDER THE DOME

Attendance in the Senate is get ting so bad that during part of the housing-rent control debate this week scrappy Glen Taylor of Idaho was the only Democrat on the floor. . Big difficulty in bringing Senators to the Senate floor is the feeling that votes are seldom won or lost by debate. Hardly a Sena- tor will disagree that Floridas Claude Pepper is probably the Sen- ate's most persuasive speaker on foreign affairs-but relatively few will vote with him Likewise, most Republicans agree that when angered, Senator Bob Taft is apt to put his foot in his mouth. But even though Taft is beSted in de- bate, they vote with him. Maine'S 70-year-old Senator Wallace White, nominal COP floor leader, might have decided against running for reelection anyhow. But COP col leagues agree that rude treatment he has received from Taft haStened Whites decision. White has rarely looked so forlorn as last Tuesday when he tried to recess the Senate at pm.-something almost invar- iably done at the suggestion of a majority leader when there is no pressing reason to stay in session. But White was outvoted by his own party. It was kindly Democratic leader Alben Barkley who tried to cover up for White by demanding quorum call at cnce.

A girl stood beside the filing case. AT the
moment Barry didn't notice that she had
SHINING blond hair and figure deserving of a
long low whistle. What he noticed was that
she was polishing the filing case with all the
devotion of number one gunner cleaning
the breech of howitzer. He made ou;ck
gloomy estimate of the situation: he was fac

Barry didn't like the tone of that remark
either. He waited until McKenny left the
room, then said accusingly, The way you've

That's laugh" he said bitterly, and
started on his assignment.

During the next two days he led the harried
life OF lost battalion. Huge wire In" and
Out baskets appeared on his desk. and
MISS Mckenny never let him escape from the
cage OF the In basket while single piece of
paper work remained. He was glad the Har-
perton survey gave him an excuse to stav
away from the Office most of the time. He had
no chance to find out how Mr. Parke was get
ting along. He saw the man twice in the dis
tance. On one occasion Mr. Parke was trudp
ing YEARLY over possible plant site with the
Colonel. The other time Mr. Parke, clutchinp

ton OF the charter boat dock, was being
firmly marched in the opposite direction by
the Colonel.

Barry went out to lunch sadly. Miss
Mckenny was very attractive girl: thew
could have had lot of fun together if She
been human. But she wasn't. She was worse
than her father, because at least Colonel
Mckenny was capable of making mistake
In about week, Barry decided. he'd have tn
resign - unless he could find some way to
get rid of the McKennys. That was about as
likely as getting rid of hostile armored COL
umn with can opener. 1t was, in word,
impossible, and no slogan could fool him into
thinking he could do it.
