vestigating charges of alleged
overstaffing in the Government.
The subcommittee's members
praised the Defense Department
for having trimmed 10000 cl-
william employees from its payroll
since last August. And the group
closely questioned the officials as
to whether similar methods could
be used to advantage in other
Federal agencies.
But not a word was said about
the charges that the Defense De-
partment is placing military per-
sonnel in civilian jobs, in viola
ton of the law specifically pro-
hibiting such practices. In fact,
several members, without directly
referring to the charges, Won
dered aloud whether it would be
more economical to have military
people in civilian jobs.
Defense officials didn't comment
directly on this, although they
pointedly said that civilians only
work a 40-hour week and you
have to pay them overtime, while
military personnel can work
around the clock if necessary"
To this statement, civilian en-
ploye groups take violent excep-
ton. They point out that studies
have always shown that the cost
of maintaining military personnel
including clothing, food and lodg-
ing, is far more costly than main
tanning civilian employees in civil
service jobs.

ANNUITY GUARANTEE - A
bill to guarantee the widows OF
deceased Federal employees at least
a $500 annual survivorship in
surance has been introduced by
Representative Mccarthy, Demo-
crat, of Minnesota. The bill has
been referred to the House Civil
Service Committee, of which Mr.
Mccarthy is a member.
The primary purpose OF the
measure is to aid the families OF
Federal employees who die after
only a comparatively few years In
the service. At present, their sur
vivors receive only a small annual
payment, sometimes less than
$3.50. The Mccarthy measure
would guarantee at least $600-a-
year income for them.

Many of these friends still re-
