River Transport
Urged For India

NEW DELHI, India - up In
dia's numerous inland waterways
could become equal partners with
her railways" if properly Develop
ed and exploited, a United Nations
expert has reported to the govern
ment.
Otto Pepper of the U. N. Eco
nOmic Commission for Asia and the
Far East recently completed a tour
of several north Indian rivers. He
informed the government he was
greatly impressed with the pOten-
tialities of the craft which ply many
rivers. Pepper estimated such boats
carry several million tons of cargo
annually for distances of a few
hundred miles.
Cheap labor, he pointed out. made
mechanical equipment a non paw
ing paropOsition. He observed.
however, that conditions might
change with a rising standard of
living. He noted the lack of proper
river ports as well as the absence
of mechanical equipment for load
ing and unloading. Even the great
port Of Calcutta, he said, had a
very limited number of cranes COM
pared to the volume of cargo.

Music Hath Charms

BOMBAY - up - A Commerce.
al radio station in the nearby Port
uguese colony of Goa is winning
listeners from the Indian govern
ment radio and making enemies
among some Indian politicians.
Listeners in Western India are
tuning to Radio Goa because it
brOadcasts music day and night.
They particularly like music from
Indian films-something they do
not hear very often on staid all In
dia radio.
Indian businessmen are patroniz-
ing Radio Goa because it is the on
" commercial station in the area.
Critics, headed by Joachim Alva,
member of Parliament from Bonn
bay, have asked advertisers to give
up their programs. They have also
appealed to newspapers not to pub
lish Radio Goa's program schedul-
es.
But Radio Goa plans a more pow
erful transmitter.

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION

For many years the veterans
of the United States worked
hard to get their activities CEN
tered in one organization to
which they could turn with
their problems. AS a result, the
Veterans Administration was
established. Every major veter-
ans organization in the United
states has full-time represent
atives at the central office here
IN Washington and at the many
offices throughout the United
States. These representatives
handle millions of Individual
cases, often in cooperation with
the veterans congressman.
The Hoover Commission made
four recommendation out of
two hundred and Seventy-seven
which every veterans organiza-
tion and the great majority of
veterans oppose. The objection is
based on the fact that these
changes will cost more and will
give the veteran less efficient
service. No one in America is
more anxious for a reduction of

HOOVER COMMISSION

The Hoover Commission, COM
posed of twelve members, met
first on September 27, 1947. For
almost two years they worked to
develop plans for the reorgani-
cation of the executive branch
of the government. About four
hundred experts, in and out of
the government, assisted the
Commission in preparing 18 re-
ports containing 277 specific rec
concentrations for changes in
governmental organization. Over
100 of these changes could be
made effective by administrative
action. Over 100 required legis-
lation by the Congress and the
balance were to be submitted by
the president subject to a veto
by Congress.
No doubt the most important
of these recommendations was
the unification of the armed
forces which has largely been
carried out. 1t is agreed that in
1851 we will have the best mil
ltary force that we have had ir
any year since the war and the
cost will be more than a billion
dollars less than in 1850.
Six large reorganization plans
have already. been submitted t.
Congress and approved. The re.
organization programs already
in effect should save about two
billion dollars in the coming fis
cal year. No doubt many Other
recommendations will be adop,
ted and many are now being in.
