populated Harlem districts. Being
out of politics for some years now,
we take sort of ''tOngue-in-cheek'
attitude towards a lot of innuendoes

headline stories. District captains
are openly saying that this is the
final year for Fords' leadership in

CUT OUT THE DEADWOOD

The Citizen on good many occasions
published articles by. United States Senator
Byrd of Virginia, pointing out the extrava-
gances of the federal government. He has
kept up his fight against waste in govern
ment activities for several years without
success, except in minor instances, but now
he is receiving aid from source that prob
ably will convince the Democratic ad-
ministration that drastic action should be
taken to cut down unneeded federal ex-
penses. Three days ago, an Associated
Press dispatch published. in The Citizen
quoted Senator Byrd as declaring that
100000 federal employees could be re-
leased without impairing the operation of
government bureaus
Now comes the Herbert Hoover COM
mission, after a thorough investigation, to
assert, in report to congress, that the ma
ton is paying heavily because of dis
organization in the executive branch of the
government.
The commission has been working 16
months on vast governmental reorganiza-
ton plan. 1t was learned that so many UNI
necessary expenses were interlocked with
operational activities, the commission ask
ed for more time to complete the job be-
fore making final recommendations. An
extension of 60 days was granted to finish
the work.
Thus far the commission has pointed
out that, in the last 20 years, the number
of federal employees has increased. from
$4,000 to 100000; bureaus and related
units have increased four fold to more than
1900; annual expenditures have increased
from So billion 600 million to SAP billion;
the national debt per average family has
gone up from $500 to $500.
President Truman, after he had adj
vocated further taxation in his address on
the budget, also should have stressed the
necessity to tear out the deadwood in
maintenance and operation COSTS
