Second, there would be decreas-
ing emphasis on scarce food and
increasing emphasis on more
abundant foods.
Third, the program would not
necessitate meat rationing or meat
price control since for a long time
only horse meat will be exported.
Fourth, the program should not
cause a need for price control on
wheat or flour.
Wheat
It is estimated that 100000, 900
bushels of wheat will be shipped
during 1947-48 but this amount
would be reduced to 300, 100000
bushels during the two years fol-
lowing.

Dairy Products
Some cheese and processed milk

This would seem to indicate a
demand for crops during the next
four years for export abroad. How
ever, this demand should not be
counted on too strongly. I know

been In the Government for at
least eight years without obtaining
status. For the most part these
persons have worked in so-called
emergency and wartime agencies
where civil service regulations had
been waived.
Consequently, most Of these en-
ployes never have had much OF a
chance to win permanent status
Many of them are employees OF high
caliber and ability, and the various
agencies employing them are loathe
to lose them. Yet, unless these
employees do get permanent status
soon, many of them are in danger
Of being replaced in their jobs as
the Government converts to per-
manent hiring basis.
That's why a lot Of agency on
cials are hoping that, once the elec-
ton is over, it will be possible to
issue some kind Of executive order
to this effect without the danger of
political repercussions.

UNEASY-The almost inevitable
question that Is asked these days of
q newspaperman who comes in
contact with Government oficials
is: "Is Dewey going to win. or dc
you think that President Truman
has a chance?"
Many Federal officials candidly
admit their normal work routine is
slowing up these days as they pom
der their future in Government.
AS one official phrased it: Whats
the use Of starting new projects or
preparing for future ones, If you're
not at all sure that you'll be on the
job next January?"
As this column has pointed out
before, the "housecleaning" prom
ised by Gov. Dewey in the Federal
Government, If he is elected. would
center primarily in the top-bracket
policy jobs, and only sparingly, If
at all, among rank-and-file en-
ployes.
The favorite reading matter these
days among a lot of Government Of
ficials is the recently published
Politics in the Empire State" by
Warren Moscow. ace political re-
porter of the New York Times. Mr..
Moscow covered the Albany State
capital for many years for his paper
and knows the workings of the
Dewey administration at first hand.
Here is what Mr.. Moscow had to
say about patronage in the Dewey
administration:
las Governor, however, he CMr
Dewey assumed complete control of
his party. County leaders who op-
posed him were broken by cold,
hard-bitten use of the patronage
powers of the Governors office.
Legislators suffered a similar fate.
He brooked no interference.
In addition, he established in AL
bany the most elaborate public re
lations set-up the capital had ever
seen. Besides his own extensive
secretariat, veterans newspapermen
and speech-writers were hired and
placed on departmental and legis-
lative payrolls to spread the Dewey
doctrine that the State was getting
the best government 1t had ever
known"
Gov. Dewey has been generally
credited with strengthening the
rank-and- file civil service merit sys-
tenn in New York State. But not
to expect a new administration to
make full use of job patronage at

TOO LATE-A number of War

The present transaction is a
