Estimated DismissaIs
|0f Inferior Workers
Reduced 10 7,4N
By Joseph Young

The Interior Department today
considerably modified it's esti-
mate of the number Of people it
will have to fire as a result of
the cut made by the House in
its 1948 appropriations
Instead of the estimated 10000 to
$1,000 disnissals it had thought
would be necessary, the department
presented figures to the Senate APP
preparations Committee showing the
figure would be approximately 7.420.
At present, the Interior Depart
ment has about $4,000 employees.
The estimates indicated, however,
that the departments personnel in
Washington will face larger per-
centage cut than the field employees.
Interior officials estimate that from
TOO to 900 of their 1000 employees
here face the axe if the Senate does
not restore some of the fund re-
quests slashed by the House.
See Future Programs Curtailed.
Interior officials emphasized that
the House action will drastically
curtail future programs. Under the
budget estimates, the department
had planned to employ about $4,000
persons during the next fiscal year
as it expanded its work. particularly
in reclamation projects.
Interior Department figures show
the House measure will permit the
employment of approximately 34,851
persons, a reduction of nearly $4,000
under Budget Bureau estimates.
Michael w. Straus, commissioner
of Interiors reclamation bureau,
told the subcommittee today that
the House action will result in 5000
fewer jobs than planned in his
agency and an actual reduction of
about 5000 reclamation employees
now on the payroll.
Other Bureaus Face Cuts.
Other bureaus facing substantial
personnel cuts are the bureau of
land management, Office of Indian
Affairs and the various administra-
tive offices in Washington, the COM
mittee was told.
Chairman Wherry of the Senate
committee and Senator DWorshak,
Republican, of Idaho, expressed
displeasure at statements by In
terror officials and Western news
papers that the departments re-
clamation program lis being scut-
tied"
Mr.. Straus replied that the de-
partment has never contended that
its program would be scuttled, but
he added that its officials felt that
the program would be retarded"

Bipartisan Foreign Lending
Appears Heading Into Storm

not been consulted recently LII tlie
formulation of foreign policies, but
he feels that too often he has been
left to stand the political gaff on
Capitol Hill with very little Demo-
cratic help.
Specifically, Senator Vandenberg
was annoyed when the Senate's MI
nority leader, Senator Barkley, went
off to Europe and stayed there
throughout the hot fight over the
Truman program for relief OF
Greece and Turkey.
A partisan showdown is inpend-
ing in connection with the Italian
peace treaty, unanimously approved
by the Foreign Relations Commit
tee. Hot opposition to present rati-
fication, latterly developed, appears
to be coming mainly from North
eastern Democrats.
Rhode Island, with two Demo-
cratic Senators, Green and Nc
Grath; Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania and California, each
with one Democratic Senator, are
the States with most voters of
Italian origin relative to their total
populations.
Italian Americans Active.
And all the principal Italian
American organizations are whoop-
ing it up for either outright rejec-
ton OF the treaty or postponement
of it until peace treaties for Ger
many and Austria are accom-
plished.
Senator Vandenberg is telling
the Democratic leaders that the
fate of the italian treaty depends
on how successful they may be in
whipping their party members into
line for it.
Another bipartisan squabble will
come into the open with the ap-
pearance before the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, tomorrow of Fran
els Biddle, appointed by the Pres
ident to the United Nations Social
and Economic Commission last
January. Senator Vandenberg was
not consulted on this appointment
and his position is presumed to be
that Mr. Truman should have
known better than to send up such
a confirmed New Dealer for this
new dealish international post,
when he needs Senate help on so
many more important foreign
matters.
Also Senator Vandenberg has not
been consulted so far in the selec-
tion of administrators of Greek
or Turkish relief, and unless that
presidential attitude changes, it may
be very long time before these
programs get under way.

voids Election
Due 1o1hreufS

In an unusual decision, the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board this
week set aside results Of an cleo
tion lost by union in a commun-
ity where a citizens committee"
conducted reign of terror-but at
the same time it exonerated the
employer from responsibility.
The firm involved was the P. ID.
Gwaltney, Jr., & Company, meat
packers at Smithfield, Va. Though
the management propagandized
against the union, the board held
that such activity did not consti-
tute coercion and qualified as free
speech"
But business leaders of the town
organized a committee to keep
the union out" That committee
ran provocative stories in the
newspapers and held mass meet
ings at which threats were made
to restore the Ku Klux Klan, plant
Flaming crosses" and undertake
night riding against union men,
bers.
Because of that atmosphere, the
election was not fair, the board
ruled. A new poll will be held when
and if it can be conducted free of
intimidation.
