what the Houses action might
mean. indications were that more
than 10000 Government Jobs in
Washington would be wiped out.
In stunning reversal of form.
which took administration lead
ers completely by surprise. the
House:
/. Approved an amendment by
Representative Jensen, Republi-
can, OF Iowa that prohibits Gov
ernment agencies from filling 90
per cent of the Job vacancies that
occur each year through normal
turnover resulting from resigna-
tions. retirements. deaths and
transfers.
Approves Personnel Cuts.
g. Approved an amendment by
Representatives Taber. Republ-
can. of New York. and Thomas.
Democrat, Of Texas that would
provide for a 10 per cent reduc-
tion in Federal personnel in non
military agencies and a 2 per cent
reduction in the military bureaus
under original budget estimates.
The Taber- Thomas amendment
also would provide for tranSporta-
ton. communications and supply
cuts, for total reduction of $500
million.
3. Approved an amendment de-
signed to prevent any further
accumulation of annual leave this
year.
The Houses action was the
worst collective blow to Govern
ment employees since the Economy
Act of 1898. which cut Federal
employees salaries and eliminated
large number of jobs.
The 1888 dismissals. however.
were far short of the number pro-
vided for in the Houses appro-
priations bill yesterday. In fact.
the 100000 job cuts called for in
the House measure represent mors
than twice as many as the S0th
Republican Congress managed TO
achieve.
Requires Some Firings,
A quick perusal of the measure
by top Federal personnel officials
leads them to believe most OF the
200. 900 jobs can be eliminated by
attrition-by not filing 30 per
cent of the estimated 250.000
vacancies that occur in Federal
employment each year.
However, officials say some en-
ployes will have to be fired. Any
estimate of the number Of dis
missals would have to be a guess
at this time. officials say. but the
total shouldn't be more than
$4,000 to 10000 of the 100000 job
cut called for in the bill"
Federal officials hopefully look
to the Senate to knock out the
Houses employment cut provi-
sions. But they are resigned to
the fact that Congress will agree
on some sharp cut In Federal en-
ployment this year, even though
the Houses bill may be Watered
down a bit.

greatly increased reservations for

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
added cars on all its trains to
Chicago, st. Louis, Detroit, Gin

The Offices here also assigned
several more ticket sellers to ham
die the increased demand for

point, has been woven noticeably
into the Presidents report-to-
the-people talks at intervals for
the last two or three days, as he
pushed into the Pacific Northwest.
Today, coming to the end of the
outbound trip which started in
Washington Sunday, and partici-
pating in a dedication ceremony
at Grand Coulee Dam on the CO.
lumbia River, the Chief Executive
obliquely advised his hearers that
he thought it about time to try
and get some action on his pro-
posal to create a Columbia Valley
Authority along the lines of the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
Mr.. Truman for months has
been seeking to promote the eva
program as part of a network of
similar developments over the Ma
tion. Powerful interests have
blocked it.
Urges Valley Authority.
The President went into that
today, then sounded the note:
Il believe the Columbia Valley
Authority is necessary next step
In the sensible, democratic devel-
opment of the resources of the
Northwest. I believe the people
of this area think so, too. And
when they make their voices heard.
I am sure that the Columbia VAL
ley Authority will be established. :"
Yesterday, he twice sounded the
same note in arguing for installa-
tion of the Hells Canon Dam on
the Snake Rivera project
knocked out of the rivers and
harbors bill by the Senate, as he
carefully explained.
Earlier this week he told a
wyoming audience of the i'm
portance of Senate approval for
the long-stymied International
Trade Organization treaty. Pre-
viously on the trip, the President
had contented himself with ex-
tolling the virtues of particular
legislation he is advocating-the
Brannan farm plan for example
and letting his audiences draw
their own conclusions about what
they should do.
Whether the new tack is signifi-
cant remains to be seen. 1t was
at Grand -Coulee two years ago,
incidentally, that he described the
s0th Congress as the second
worst in history"
Aims to Develop Power.
On his visit to Grand Coulee
today, Mr.. Truman declared his
determination to develop low-cost
public power on all the country's
great rivers and fight against it's
use "for private profit"
I'VE have embarked, all over
the country, on the task of fully
developing our resources for all
the people" he said.
And we shall have to continue
to overcome the opposition of
those who do not understand the
greatness of our goal, or who fear
the impairment of their selfish
interests.
1--WE will meet opposition from
the private power groups. Many
Of them-there are honorable ex-
ceptions. of course-do not want
the energy of our rivers put to use
as power and sold to the people
at cost"
The President spoke out sharply
