the committee said, "that the cessa-
tion of hostilities has brought little
reduction. in the tremendous war
expansion Of the Government. It
is inconceivable that the depart
ments and old-line agencies, ex-
panded to TIT component parts at
the height of the war, should now
need to expand still further to
require 920 principal component
parts.
There Is no justification fo1
having, in addition to the 1,03s
component parts, / 200 Federal Offices
in New York, 1000 in Chicago, and
over 500 each in Philadelphia and
Los Angeles, to mention only few
as was so recently the; case. Nor is
it enough that war agency offices be
closed.
"This entire amorphous hodge
podge of branch offices, field offices,
regional offices, State, county, area
and district Offices, is an apparent
attempt Of the establishments of the
Executive Branch to perpetuate
themselves and their tax-draining
personnel in the face of constant
demands on the part of the Congress
and the citizens of the Nation to
curtail expenditures"

The regular airiines, Mr.. RAM

senger death last year for every
100 million miles travelled but are
not satisfied with this record and
will continue to expend vast
amounts OF time, effort and money
to increase safety.

Senator Ball also has offered a
measure which would outlaw indus
try-wide wage talks.
Mr.. Roth said enactment Of this
legislation would annul practically
every important collective bargain
ing agreement" in the maritime in

so important that the employer
should have the right to select and
discharge and to- determine !, the
qualifications OF his employers"
He contended that the closed shop
"is potent instrument, in, the hands
Of an irresponsible union leader for
