New Faces in Congress

A staunch advocate of economy
Representative Francis H. Case,
Republican, of South Dakota
gave up his House career of IA
years to win the Senate seat of
veteran Republican Senator Chan
Gurney.
A rancher who specializes in
raising cattle in the Black Hills
near Custer. S. OAK, the new Sen
ator-elec is a former editor and
publisher and Marine Corps vet
eran of World War I.
Representative Chase, ST, is an
active member Of the House APP
preparations and Un-American
Committee. He will complete his
service in the House during the
coming short session of the 81st
Congress. and take his Senate seat
January 3 at the opening of the
82d Congress.
To move over to the other
branch of the national legislature
Representative Case went through
two campaign battles. He was the
only Republican to unseat another
of his party in the Senate when in
the primary fight he defeated
Senator Gurney. In the November
election Mr.. Case won over John
Engel, Democrat.
Slight of build, but vigorous
opponent of the New Deal and Fair
Deal spending policies, Mr.. Case
fought both his campaigns on the
issue Of economy and spending,
taxes and tariff, foreign policy,
power and reclamation. farm leg
islation and comunism.
Mr.. Case was author of the
contract renegotiation bill that is
said to have saved the Govern
ment about $40 billion dollars in
the cost of World War II.
The new Senator-elect probably
is best known for the controver-
sial labor bill carrying his name
which was tougher than the Taft
Hartley Act and was vetoed by
President Truman. He favored
balanced budget. a 70-group Air
Force. more reclamation projects
for South Dakota, and extension
of REA lines for farmers.

Methodist minister, Herbert L.

their 26 days leave this year "and
probably every year from now on. :"
During it's hearings the COM
mittee had been advised by Budget
Director Frank Pace that he IA
vored the principle of restricting
accumulation of annual leave, but
that it should be done by the
various Federal agencies and not
by Congress. Mr.. Pace said it was
a matter to be handled admins
tratively and not legislatively.
Committee members said the
action was taken as a precaution-
ary measure to cut down huge
financial obligations of Federal
agencies in any future Govern
ment reduction-in-force programs.
Government workers who leave
their jobs are entitled to cash pay
ments for all their unused annual
leave.
Scattered Personnel Cuts.
Regarding employment. Gov
ernment departments and agen-
cies generally Jared very well at
the committees hands.
The bill calls only for scattered
personnel reductions, with the
majority of agencies able to fore
go any dismissals.
The committee said that some
employment cuts could be made
in the Post Office Department
without hurting efficiency. The
committee noted that the depart
ment had promised a 10000 re-
duction in personnel by July /.
Some agencies got additional
money from the committee to hire
more workers. These include the

ditions found by committee in

THE committee expects that the
necessary remedial action will be
taken Immediately" its report said
to correct complaints registered by
its investigators.
Among the charges made by the
committee staff, discussed with
bureau officials at great length
during the hearings were:
Administration of the bureau is
weak and timid, especially in gen.
eral operations relating to such
matters as excessive expenditure
of funds during last month of
fiscal year. care and maintenance
of plant facilities. utilization OF

Commerce Department

A special rider was approved
giving the Commerce Department
the authority to fire summarily
any employe on security risk
charges.
The action followed severe crit
icism leveled at the department
during hearings on Commerce s
1881 budget requests regarding
security risk employees still re-
naming on the payroll.
Chairman Rooney of the Ap-
preparations Subcommittee han
ding Commences bill asserted the
department was "honeycombed'
with persons belonging to the
Communist Party.
Commerce officials said some
persons who were cleared of dis
loyalty charges still are considered
bad security risks, but that the
department had no authority to
fire them.

State Department

The appropriations committee
urged that the State Department
try to work out reductions in the
percentage of financial support
the United States is giving inter-
national organizations.
The effort was recommended in
the proposed $218 million appro-
prlation to run the department
for the fiscal year. This would
represent 1923 million less than
provided for the current fiscal
year and the $12.4 million less
than President Truman's budget
estimate for the next year.
A $25 million item for the In
ternational Refugee Organization
was approved with the explicit
understanding that it is to COM
plete the program.
The committee cut 81 million
from the budget estimate for the
departments building fund and

educational activities.
In respect to the latter, the
committee emphasized that 1.-The
reduction recommended is not to
apply in any respect to the pro-
posed program for radio broad
casting the Voice of America.
But, it added, the committee
feels that some savings may be
effectuated by printing a more
modest pamphlet in connection
with the Voice of America pro-
grams. The present elaborate
booklet containing pictures OF
Voice of America personalities
and the like is unnecessary.
The committee recommended
that the department study the
locations of it's overseas libraries
with view of situating more of
them in street-level locations for
greater accessibility and display
advantages.

Agriculture

The recommended agriculture
appropriation of $764 ,032,7 was
SIS per cent below the amount
proposed in the budget estimates.
In addition, the committee re-
duced by $199, 100000 the revolv-
ing fund for resubscriptions to
capital stock of the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corp. and approved q
cut of $125 million in the revolv-
ing fund for subscriptions to capi-
tai stock of the Federal land
banks.
The committee also:
Permitted use of Section 81

and handling charges on surplus
commodities going to public well
fare agencies. Such agencies must
now pay the charges before re-
ceiving foods under the give-away

Park and Planning

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission was allowed
$29,500 more for park and rec
reation lands than was appropri-
ated last year but a like amount
actually was slashed from the
agency's 1851 budget estimates.
Of1icials said $4,000 of the re-
duction comes out of estimates for
the purchase of six small valley
streams in nearby Maryland. The
remaining $4,000 slash is from
funds requested for six park ano
playground parcels in the District
For all these purchases under

National Park Service

In providing an increase OF
$372.827 over 1850 funds for sea-
sonal rangers to protect the Ma
tons park facilities, specific
request for IL additional police
men in the National Capital Parks
was rejected.
Forty additional police posi-
tions were provided for in 1850
and additional funds have been
included in the 1851 appropria-
ton to cover full-year salaries
and for pay increases for these
additional police" the report
stated. owing to this substan-
tial augmention of the police
force in the current year. the COM
mittee feels that further increases
are not justified at this time"
Attention was called in the re-
port to the difficult situation
which exists owing to intermin-
Cling OF properties under juris-
diction of the National Capital
Parks with areas under District
jurisdiction. The committee urged
that Interior Secretary Chapman

lation should be submitted to Con-

The National Park Service,
which also administers National
Capital Parks, was allowed an in
crease of $685,752 above the 1850
appropriation for the management
and protection of the 181 areas it
administers here. For construc-
ton and land acquisition, 500
$40 900 was recommended, an
increase of $5,946,187 over current
funds. A total of $5,750.00O was
recommended for continuing work
on six parkways, exceeding 1850
funds for new obligations by

mortal Parkway extension pro-
gram was denied request for

Federal Bureau of Investigation,

of Internal Revenue, which would
be able to hire 1000 additional
agents.
Among the agencies whose per-
sonnel budget requests were
slashed by the committee are the
General Accounting Office, the
Veterans Administration, the Civil
Aeronautics Board, and the Civil
Service Commission.
GAO's Total Too High.
The committee said that GAO's
present total of $500 employe 5
was too high and should be
trimmed during the year. Several
hundred jobs might have to be
abolished under the bill, but no
major dismissal program Is antici-
pated.
The Civil Service Commission S
budget request was cut $1,814 900
S738,000 less than it received this
year for salary and expense items.
Commission officials say that a
scattered number of dismissals
may be necessary, but very few if
any in Washington.

The cuts would force some per-
sonnel firings. particularly in
Washington. the committee re-
ported. But it added that no re-
duction would occur in the
agency's medical program. The
group recommended $3.50 million
for hospitals and homes, pointing
out total of 5,420 new hospital
and domiciliary beds will become

propriated last year. @

tional unit of the bureau appears
to have it's own idea of what con-
stituteS cost.
There is some evidence of a
surplus of personnel or at least
indications that the time of the
employees is not fully utilized. This
condition is due to laxness in
supervision and to failure to elimi-
nate wasteful practices"
The committee said it learned
that approximately $1,000 per acre
was spent for maintenance of lawn
and handicapped areas whereas
costs of over $100 per acre are
considered excessive"
Inside the buildings, the COM
mittee said it's investigators found
conditions 'in general, dirty"
Floors and walls need to be
washed" the staff reported
toilet rooms are unkempt and
windows have not been washed in
from two to five years."
DR.. E. U. Condor, head of the
bureau, was sharply criticized by
some subcommittee members dur
ing the hearings. He admitted
some conditions needed correcting
but differed in many particulars
with findings Of the investigators.
