Washington, 81. In this are not in
cluded the Government Printing Of
flee operations, which has nine plants
of its own.
Last year, says Senator Bridges,
the superintendent of documents is
sued free of charge, for these agen-
cies, G1,979,1O2 publications. How
many millions more the agencies is
sued for themselves can only be sur
missed. Daily from these agencies
there is constant flow of pamphlets
and documents. Some of these are
necessary and intelligent, but a very
large portion are neither The output
of one agency often contradicts an
other or duplicates it. The mails are
cluttered up with them, and they are
scattered throughout the Union. 1t is
impossible to tell whether the cost of
distribution is higher than the cost of
manufacture or vice versa. But, just
as there is no way of getting full
figures of the cost, there is, as of
now, no way to coordinate, direct, re-
strict or supervise these tremendous
publication activities, no inconsider-
able part of which are pure propa-
ganda.
AS evidence of mismanagement and
bad judgment, tons of undistributed
publications dating back many years
are piled up in storage warehouses
of the printing office. Other unknown
tons have been transferred to agency
warehouses or sold as waste paper.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-03-31

During the past two years the print
ing office condemned over 100000
publications. No one knows how many
were condemned by the agencies
themselves. Hoover Commission in
vestigators found widespread evil
dence Of undistributed publications.
Many hundreds Of thousands Of copies
of some publications were found which
had been lying around for years-un-
touched and unwanted.
Conceding that some of the Govern
ment pamphlets convey useful in
formation and are justifiable, Senator
Bridges gives a long list of silly ones
which sustain his contentious. He as
serts that if the Senate-and, par
ticularly, the Appropriations Com
mittee-will not limit their scrutiny
to printing and binding funds but
probe into the cost Of research, writ
ing, editing, distributing and other
hidden costs, very large waste can
be eliminated. Here" he declares,
''is a field in which, without any at
tempt to censor, great savings can be
made without disservice to anyone eX-
cept the budding authors who have
no other outlet for their unwanted
wares"

we call doing business in a free

refuse in the end to vote out the Les

Waste
BY FRANK r. KENT.

Those disposed to be skeptical that
real reorganization of the executive
branch of the Government along the
lines recommended by the Hoover
Commission would save the great sum
Of $3.OO0OO0,00O annually, at the
same time increasing efficiency, are
referred to the single item of Federal
publicity and publications. This is
more or less an incidental activity of
the Government. Certainly, it is not
one Of its major or more costly func-
tions.
Yet, even casual study will con-
vince any open-minded man that in
this field alone many million dollars
of totally unnecessary expenditures
can be Topped off with wholly health
full results. For here is waste, inef-
ficicncy, duplication, absurdity, unin-
telligence and lack of all sense either
Of restraint or proportion, at their al
most incredible worst Recently. in
Senate speech Senator H. Styles
Bridges. of New Hampshire, presented
factual picture of this Federal pub
LEGATION business which ought to have
had more attention than it got. 1t re-
vealed an utterly indefensible stu
alton, the continuation of which in
diets the intelligence of our people and
calls into question the soundness Of
cur system.
It is not possible in this space ade-
quately to present the facts as laid
down by Senator Bridges, but it is
worth while to recite some Of them.
In the first place, while the records
Of the Government Printing Office
are complete, that is not true of the
multitudinous agencies and depart
ments which operate publishing plants
Of their own. Tor these there is no
cost accounting system, no way Of
discovering the cost or the volume Of
their activities. All we know is that
the cost runs into the hundreds of
millions and that many thousands are
employed In the past ten years the
Government Printing Office has de
livered 1889, 86T587 copies of
printed matter. Last year 12,000,000,-
600 Of such copies were delivered,
which is nearly double in 1889 figure
This includes all types of printed
matter and for all departments. But
it does not include the immense guam
titles o. materia! turned out by the
departments and agencies themselves
No one can even estimate the magni-
tude Of what these have printed on
their own presses. However, in 1917
the Joint Committee ON Printing es-
tablished that there were 1873 Govern
ment printing plants and 256 Govern
ment duplicating plants throughout
the country. One department had A
such plants; another, 21; another, %.
One agency had 100 duplicating
plants; another, IS. In all, there were
81 agencies with such plants. In one
city there were %; in another, %; in

ToIerution Tercentenury

The celebration of the three hundredth
anniversary Of the Maryland Act Concern
ing Religion. beginning tomorrow and
continuing throughout the whole of next
week, is not-and certainly should not
be-limited to Maryland. What the Gen
eral Assembly did at st. Marys City on
April 21, 1649, has a significance far
transcending that of its immediate pur-
pose of accommodating the particular
ideologies of different schools of Chris
tianity. It granted freedom OF conscience
to all persons acknowledging the leader
ship of the Carpenter of Nazareth.
In strictly political terms, the Act was
a concession to the Parliamentary revolu-
ton in England which few weeks earlier
had cost Charles his head. More broadly
considered, it aimed ito guard by an express
penalty the most sacred things of God;
to inculcate the principle of religious de-
cency and order; to establish, upon q
frmer basis, the harmony already existing
between the colonists; to secure, in the
fullest sense, freedom as well as protection
to all believers in Christianity, and to
protect quiet disbelievers against every
sort Of reproach or ignominy." Much, of
course, was left to Interpretation. A Jew
or a Quaker or Unitarian might be
allowed to think about the Deity as he
chose-or he might not, according to ON
cial opinion Of how "quiet" he was. In
point of fact, at least one non-believer
was prosecuted.
But the Act nevertheless was IAN i'm
mense advance upon the principles and
practice of the age" and 1t worked well In
bringing new colonists TO Maryland. In
deed, for space between 1854 and 1858
it was too successful In this regard since
it led to new settlers repeating the statute
in the interest of the Puritan faction. The
Restoration in England was followed by
the establishment OF the proprietary
government of the Calverts-and tolera-
ton again. Henry Cabot Lodge sums up
the result Of this development in the
words: "The immigration OF the
oppressed of all nations was greatly
stimulated by a renewal of the old policy"
Progress and prosperity were accelerated.
The tercentenary celebration Is worth
while because 1t furnishes occasion Tor
remembrance of how the divergent views
of conflicting groups were reconciled in
practical effect. On the parchment copy
of the Act Concerning Religion in the
archive of the Maryland Historical Society
In Baltimore appears the Endorsement:
eThe freemen have assented." That meant
that ordinary people, exempt from COM
pulsion, agreed with the philosophy Of

A Heel Is News

Not all heels are important enough to
be newsworthy. Achilles had one that IS
still the subject of occasional comment
because it failed him in his hour of need.
Joe Di Maggio's heel-the right one-is
rapidly becoming notorious. too. For it is
threatening to fail him at the very peak
of his phenomenal baseball career. It
would pea costly failure not only to Jolting
Joe whose future In the big leagues is at
stake, but to the Yankees, who pay Di Mag
some $4,000 a year to do his stun, and to
a host of fans, who would hate to see one
of baseball's heroes cut down by so SEEM
ingiy small thing as spur ON the heel
bone
Because the condition of Joe's ailing heel
is a matter of widespread public interest,
1t Is only natural that sports reporters
should want to get all the information they
can on this important subject. And it is
understandable that the usually amiable
Di Maggie should lose his temper when
questioned by sports writers gathered at
Johns Hopkins Hospital But Joe Is wrong
when he suggests that "sadistic people"
are bounding him, people who are eager
to see him retire from the game.
The reporters are not keeping close touch
with the day-to-day condition of Joes de-
fective heel because they get any satisfac-
ton out Of seeing him suffer a misfortune.
It Is q safe bet that every one of them
would much prefer to write that the Di
Maggie heel was well and that the Yankee
slugger would be taking his turn at the
plate when the season opens next week
There Is no pleasure for sports writer In
seeing such a deservedly popular idol as
Joe Di Maggie laid up even temporarily.
For Joe has become as synonymous with
baseball as Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb or
Walter johnson ever was Hence, the mis-
fortunes of Di Maggie are as much of
interest to baseball lovers as are the for
tunes When Joe reflects upon this truth,
he will realize that reporting on the state
of his heel is not sadism, but legitimate
press activity inspired by fandom's high
esteem and deep concern for the welfare
of a truly great player

Boost for SesquicentennioI

Two encouraging developments have
tended to offset the blow which the House
Approximations Committee administered
recently to plans for Washington's Sesqu-
centennial celebration next year. That
blow was the killing of 81 500, 900 Sesqul-
centennial item in the deficiency appro-
priation bill But it is apparent now that
both President Truman and the House as
& whole still are in favor of an adequate
observance of the city's birthday ami
versary-one that the whole Nation may
take part in.
The first cause for renewed optimism by
planners of the exposition was the action
of the House in voting unanimously to au-
thorize the District Sesquicentennial Com
mission to proceed Immediately" with
program worthy and deserving OF the
support and encouragement Of the people
of the United States" The bill empowers
the commission to hire personnel, erect
buildings, fix admission charges and per-
form other necessary duties. Reinforcing
this action was the Presidents declaration
that the Sesquicentennial should be
Freedom Fair" in which all the States and
Territories should participate. Mr.. Tru-
man Endorsed the program prepared by the
commission as Sound" one, designed to
'bring home to every American, and to
the world, the full significance Of our great
heritage of freedom"
In view of these expressions of policy at
the White House and at the Capitol, the
chances are bright that Congress will ap-
propriate SUFFICIENT money to enable the
commission to stage the kind Of celebration
which Congress and the, President evi-
dently want 1t would be utterly senseless
for the House to put itself on record In
favor of q worthy" observance unless it
intends to supply the money with which
to carry out its mandate. Similar appro-
priations have been voted in years past
for worlds fairs and other expositions-
more, in fact, than the So ,000, 900 the COM
mission originally requested. Washington's
Freedom Fair" is equally deserving of
consideration by those who control Fed
eral appropriations.

Whats Up in Bulgaria?

totaitarian regime has been aptly
compared to an iceberg, only Q small por-
ton Of which is visible Above the water
line This can well be applied to the
current situation in Bulgaria. Something
unusual is going on there inside the gov
erning circle And that something" may
be of deep and far-reaching significance.
The precise meaning is as yet obscure.
But known facts make possible certain de-
ductions or legitimate differences.
In the first place, there seems little doubt
that the retirement from office of Premier
Georgi Dimitrov is due, as officially stated
to reasons of health. Bulgaria's Red boss
has long been leading figure in the Com
muniSt International. Indeed, though a
born Bulgarian, he is Soviet citizen lived
In Moscow for many years, and reputedly
enjoys the full confidence of Stain. Those
qualifications got him the Job OF running
Bulgaria when the Soviet armies occupied
that country toward the close of the late
war. And Dimitrov's answering support
of Moscow's Balkan policies shows that he
has functioned consistently as a depend
able Soviet proconsul. Ill health alone
could account for Moscows laying aside so
valuable an instrument, especially at so
crucial q juncture in Balkan affairs.
However, Dimitrov's retirement raises
the question of the succession to power
. ticklish point in any totalitarian regime.
In anticipation of that eventuality, the
evidence indicates lively struggle inside
the ruling clique, with two rival aspirants
.-Traicho Kostov and Vassil Kolarov Both
are top-night Communists with distiri-
fuished records. But Kostov has been q
home fighter for communism; whereas
Kolarov, like Dimitrov, has been Moscow
exile. Furthermore, Kostov has had direct
charge of running Bulgaria's economy.
And in that capacity he has run up against
q tough factor-the Bulgarian peasant.
Bulgaria has for centuries been land of
small landowning proprietors. And the
peasantxy, which forms the vast majority
of the population. Is bitterly opposed to
land collectivixation. emphasizing their
discomfort by q partial work strike which
gravely reduces crop yields. Kostov has
therefore advocated going slower with the
peasant than Moscow demanded That
was precisely Titos attitude in Yugoslavia
which caused his break with Moscow. But
Moscow has direct grip on bulgaria
through the presence there of Soviet
troops. So Kostov has been 'purged' for
nationalist deviation" !" together with many
other important Communists And the
chances are that MoScow-trained Kolarov
will get Dimitrovs job. If he does not,
some other Moscow dependable will oc-
cupy the top post.
For the moment, Moscow's grip on the
Bulgarian apparatus" looks firm. Yet the
Internal strains and stresses remain. And
the Bulgarian peasant must look enviously
ct his Yugoslav counterpart who has not
been collectivized and who is not being
exploited for the benefit of a big Russian
army of occupation and the Soviet
Tatherland" It therefore remains to be
seen how dependable Bulgaria really is
inside the Soviet bloc. A thoroughly docile
Bulgaria Is essential to Moscow's plans
