$5600000000 As in previous years accidents in the home claimed the greatest number of lives, 34,0O0, with those resulting from automobile accidents a close second 33500 For all its gloomy overtone, the report had a number of bright spots. For one thing the of all accidental fatalities is lower with five annual exceptions-than in any other year since 1900 Another reason for satisfaction is a decline of per cent from 1945 in fatalities among children between and IA, indicating benefits from programs of safety in the schools. There sharp drop from l945 in fatalities railroads and regularly scheduled air lines; for the latter decline of 45 per cent matched the 1899 record low of l2 deaths for each 100000,600 passenger miles.
 The fact remains, however, that average of one of every thirteen persons in this country injured in reportabe accidents that the total bill for loss of wages medical expenses, overhead cost of insurance and damage to equipment and property represents close to per cent of the national income Especially of concern to New Workers must be the fact that their city made the worst showing of all those with more than 500O0o population in the ratio of motor fatalities the number of registered vehicles Of concern to all Americans, however is the fact that this country annually sacrifices many people so much in wealth to carelessness.

The Federal Payroll
CNew York Times

Senator George announces that he will submit to the Joint Congressional Committee on the Budget plan to cut 500000 Government employees off the Federal payroll by July l. Chairman Taber of the House Appropriations Committee has already sug- gested figure twice as large. The total number of civilian employees December 3l was 2,277o00. MT George says that his proposed cut would bring the level of Government employment back to about what it was in 1941 and that he doesn't see any reason why the Government cant get along with the same number of employees it had when Federal operations were already being expanded because of the war" . This is reasonable enough premise, but the question whether the purpose be achieved unless Congress prepared to decide that certain activities of the Government will have to be dscontinued-and then decide which ones discontinue. The Federal payroll has grown for no mysterious reason It has grown because Congress is continually adding new functions and duties to those which the Govern ment previously performed Some of the fifty or more independent offices" in Washington now larger and expenditures have scared because Congress has found it increasingly hard to say No to any large group of voters.
 The question now, after many years of time, IS whether a peacetme budget four times as large as the budget the last pre-war year can be cut sub stantially unless Congress is ready not merely to trim" existing costs in certain places but to take | the Government entirely out of some of the less essential enterprises in which it is now engaged.

TRUMAN LIKES MOST RE
 PUBLICANS

When it comes to personalities, not politicians, President Truman likes Republicans-tha is. most of them, and he enjoyed entertaining COP Congressmen at the White House re, ,srtion the other night. However, there were four Republi- cans present he did not like.
 Congressman Earl Lewis, an Ohio Republican, discovered this when his son Robert, a captain in the Army Medical Corps. shook hands with the President. Young Lewis offered his sympathy because of all the handshaking the Chief Executive had to do. But the Pres ldent was quite cheerful about it.
 There's a trick to that" he smiled. Watch" Grabbing Lewis hand, he old him to squeeze, but Lewis found he couldn't. Truman had squeezed first.
 T like this party" the President went on. There are lots of friends of mine here and I can call 75 per- cent o1 the people here by name. I'm glad to see everyone Of them here. except four Republican S."
 The President did not say who they were, and his guests were too startled to ask him. However, Re- publican Congressmen have been speculating ever since as to their identity.

COP Congressman John Taber of New York told colleagues in the closed door budget debate that 568,0OO federal employees would be fired. But when they tried to pin him down, he couldn't give any idea what bureaus they would be fired from. One thing the solons did agree to at their secret budget debate was that budget cuts would mean the end of all public works projects except these already started.
