Aiken Plans Examination
OF Federal Press AGENTS
BY the Associated Press

Chairman Aiken said today the
Senate Executive Expenditures Com
mittee plans thorough examina-
ton of Government public rela-
tionS work
Terming it 'overdone in the past
few years" the committee chairman
added:
I'VE have had reports of quite a
little duplication of effort, and there
may be too much emphasis on pub
licity. However. have no specific
cases in mind
Senator Aiken said he wouldn't t
call 1t an investigation. There may
be hearings and there may not be, y
he explained.
A committee announcement said
members and the committee staff
will confer with leading authori-
ties in this field" and then proceed
to the NEST thorough examination
of this problem which has ever been
undertaken.
Senator Aiken said he hoped for
considerable economy and increased
efficiency but added that informa-
ton work has been valuable TO the
American people and certain
amount of it must be continued"
Chairman Taber of the House Ap-
propriations Committee has been
critical of press agents on Federal
