motor vehicles and other equip
ment using critical materials.
The Budget Bureau is also
studying where personnel reduc-
tions may be made in the non
defense agencies without hamper
ing their activities.
Budget officials say that the
curtailment of construction prof.
ects will result in some reduction
in personnel. although not sub
stantial one.
One personnel-cutting plan be-
ing discussed is to limit the non-
defense agencies in filling some
of the job vacancies that occur
each year through normal per-
sonnel turnover. Such a program
would reduce personnel and at
the same time not hurt present
employees. The Governments an
nual turnover is more than zoo, 900
employees.
Another major area where the
Budget Bureau believes that saw
ings can be made is in admins
trative expenses. Some items as
travel and office expenses can be
trimmed without Gripping Gov
ernment operation. it is believed.
More Flexible Plan Seen.
Budget officials say that the
$3.50 million reduction ordered by
Congress will save at least as
much as. and maybe more than.
the Thomas-Taber or Byrd
Bridges amendments would have.
Furthermore, they say the final
formula authorized by Congress
is far more flexible and gives the
Executive Branch much greater
discretion in determining where
the cuts should be made.
Among the agencies that will
be called before the Budget Bu-
reau as it begins its hearings
this week are Agriculture, Com
merce, Interior. Justice, Labor,
Post Office. State. and Treasury
Departments. and the Federal Sc
curity Agency, the General Serv-
ices Administration, the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation,
the Tennessee Valley Authority
and the Veterans Administration
The Army Department also will
be called to determine where Army
projects not related
to the present military
program can be postponed.

tions with their striking union
employees, undertaken at the re-
quest of Prime Minister Louis st.
Laurent in an effort to settle the
crippling five-day-old nationwide
rail shutdown.
In a statement issued as labor
and management representatives
were to meet for their fourth joint

ways checked the solution back
to- Parliament, which meets in

More than an hour later Frank

negotiations had been abruptly
and unceremoniously broken off
by the railways. They offered to
renew discussions with the oper-
ators looking toward a new con-

draft of the economic controls
bill, still in conference.
Atomic Funds Granted.
Other major items approved by
the House in yesterdays defense
bill were: $3.50 million for the
Atomic Energy Commission to
step up the development of atomic
weapons; 1898 million for stock
piling strategic materials; ST.
867 $50 for the Voice of America
and other programs by which the
State Department seeks to COM
bat Communist propaganda
around the world, and nearly $40
million additional for the Selec-
tive Service system.
The House defeated a motion
by Representative Priest, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, to include an
initial fund of 100000 to get the
National Science Foundation
started. It was authorized by a
new law passed in May, and the
Budget Bureau had recommended
$475 900 to establish it. The House,
however, sustained the action of
the Appropriations Committee in
leaving it out Of this bill.
The Committee explained its de-
eision was "in no way an ex-
preston Of disapproval of the
activity" The Committee said it
was deferring the item in the be-
lief that new programs which will
not provide early aid to our de-
fense effort should not be initiated
at this time" The new agency is
designed to further scientific re-
search.
Most Of the debarte on the de-
fense bill related to the Voice of
America. Representative Taber,
Republican. of New York, criti-
cized the quality of its broadcasts.
He complained that scripts he had
seen were merely newscasts and
did not contain propaganda in be-
half of the position of the United
States. Representative Rooney,
Democrat. of New York, replied
in support of the programs.
Representative Mahon. Demo-,
crat, Of Texas, in charge Of the
defense part Of the budget. gave
the House this summary Of what
the emergency bill will do for
each of the armed services:
Give the Army $3.1 billion to
build up its manpower by next
June 80 to a million men in uni
form, including some National
Guard units for which funds will
be provided later. Army ordnance
gets $1.4 billion. part of which
win be for tanks.
Give the Navy $3.6 billion to in
crease its uniformed force to
750 900 by June 80. OF this num-
ber 165,000 will be Marines.
Add 80 to the 243 combatant
ships provided for in the regu-
lar budget. This makes a total
of 282 ships being withdrawn
from "mothballs" in this fiscal
year. Give the Navy SIS billion
for 2,377 additional aircraft.
Give the Air Force $4.5 billion.
It will increase Its military per-
sonnel to a total Of 100000 by
June 80. The Air Force Is allotted
$2.7 billion for 2,956 planes.

BACK a hundred years ago.
when the whites had just begun
to settle in the territory of Min
nesota. they wanted to keep Ind
ians out of the government. They
couldn't outrightlY disfranchise
the Indians. SO they resorted to
subterfuge. An electoral regula-
ton was put into effect. that no
man could be candidate for Of
flee who did not own two pairs
Of pants.
Most Indians didn't even have
one pair of pants. The Indians
resisted pants. They liked the air
and sun to beat down on the
skins of their legs. They felt i'm
prisoned by the trouser legs.
And pants pockets, what need
had they for them? Pockets are
the signs of economic insecurity,
the symbols of a society of the
rich and poor.
Pockets are where you keep
your money and your keys and
among the Indians there were no
difference between the rich and
poor. All were essentially in the
same economic state. The land
was open to all. There was no
rent to pay. With your bow
and arrow you went out and got
your breakfast and dinner. What
savages are these. thought the
Indians. who require pockets!
With their intrusion. they saw
the sun of civilization setting.
Maybe the whites weren't as
civilized in the ultimate phi1Oso-
phical sense as the Indians, yet
it must be admitted that they
were shrewder. And the pants
regulation proved. With the ad
vent of white civilization in Min
nesota, some of the Indians could
finally boast one pair of pants,
but two pairs of pants! I'M
possible.
So the Indians were kept off
the ballot. and the New England
Yankees. first of the whites to
settle in Minnesota. got control
over the territory.
cannot vouch for the absolute
authenticity of this story about
the two pairs of pants, but that
is the story they tell up here
where your correspondent is va
cationing.
True or not true. it at least
sYmbolicallY portraYs the course
of events. Race friction was
manifest in the territory with the
first settling-between the whites
and the red men.
To be sure, the clash between
the white man and the Indian
was phenomenon common to all
early territories in America, but
Minnesota is particularly inter-
esting place to study the relation
ship of the races, because with
changing times the same phe-
nomenon of race friction has
taken many forms.
First. it was the Yankees a.
qainst the Indians! After the
Indians were put out of the pic
ture and the Scandinavians be-
gan to immigrate. the picture
took another form. The Yankees

against the Swedes and Norwe-
gians.
