ministrative workers down to th'
number authorized in the 194s
budget. He said about $3.50, ,00t
would be needed to keep the $500
workers until July l and that foul
times that amount would be needed
to keep them during the next fiscal
year.

ated efforts" of VA to keep down
costs, but that firing of administra-
tive workers in VA field Offices has
cut direct service to veterans, &C
cording to reports members Of Con-
gress have received.
VA has promised to furnish the
committee a list of all the jobs tc
be cut under the new reduction by
next week.

ing made toward the economical
operation of VA, directs that the
administrator of veterans affairs
Carl R. Gray, be informed of It's
protest of the present reduction in
force and requests that this re-
duction be held in allegiance until
detailed study can be affected by
the committee to insure that
service to disabled veterans will not
be seriously impaired"

Campaign Fireworks Can't Obscure

fury and persuade the public by the sheer weight of oatoy
that something of great import is going on.
And of course something important is going on-the
selection OF the and who will form the Govern

But if the politicians had their way the whole perform
would be turned into comic opera with political wise

business at hand.
In all of this political hoopla there method than

Politicians apparently haven't changed much in the last
1000 years, for of them still clnging to this
cynical view
But many persons and trade unionists bulk large in
this group are not cynical the politicians They believe
that free and democratic people themselves
well and wisely and that the selection OF the men and women
to the Government of the United States and should
and can be plane above that of ward politics.
Amid all the uproar and hubbub of party politics these
persons have learned to keep their eyes the main issues
and not to the confused by the myriad of arguments that
kicked up like dust to obscure the main questions.
For trade uniOnsts, all eXtraneous issues aside, the
burning and nottobeorgotten facts of this election
are these:
Either trade mionists will to it that liberal
gessen and senators are elected or they will have en-
dure reacOnary Government that doesn't give hoot for
the rights OF ordinary citizens of trade unonsts.
That means that trade unionst has got to register
and VOTE and he has got to get his family and friends to
register and vote and he has got to support the candidates
who are liberal and progressive.

and the American system of government believe that the

Truman said the bill "hasty patchwork" and
"spshod legislation" 1t passed. he said 'in the final
hours of the session, after the Republican leadership
fused to permit the House Of Representatives to vote upon
the observation-disclosures housing bill This bill bears
resemblance to the comprehensive housing program included
