Do You Want TO Cut
Your Federal Taxes?
Overlapping Bureaus

The Executive Department of the
Federal Government has grown
from small beginnings into a
mighty colossus composed of 1872
separate bureaus and agencies en-
ploying 2,090,554 civilian workers
with an annual payroll of more
than $4,000, 900, 100000.
This growth was haphazard.
What happened was that when
job needed to be done, an agency
was hurriedly set up by executive
order, or created by Congress.
We are now paying for all these
mistakes.
On July z, 1947, Congress au-
thorized, by unanimous vote, the
launching Of the greatest effort
yet made to plan an efficient, eco
nomical government reorganiza-
tion. With the approval of Presi-
dent Truman, a bipartisan, twelve
man commission, headed by former
President Hoover, was established.
This Commission found many dis
couraging examples of the confu-
sion in our government machinery,
and has made concrete suggestions
to correct these ills.
AS matters stand, when you at
tempt to deal with your govern.
ment, you will find 81 agencies en-
gagged in obtaining land, 10 in Fed
eral construction work, 8 in credit
and finance and 80 in gathering
statistics. A rancher desiring to
pasture his livestock, on public
lands must obtain separate per-
mits, each containing different
terms and conditions, from both
the Department of Interior and the
Department of Agriculture.
The Army Engineers and the
Reclamation Bureau cost the tax
payers untold millions of dollars
through duplication of effort on
water resources development. AS
an instance Of this wasteful dupli-
cation, the Hungry Horse Project
in Montana was estimated to cost
$6,300,000. The actual cost was
500, 100000.

Pope Reminds World
That War Brings Ruin
And Pleads for Peace
Cites 'Dorkenine Clouds
And Warns of Murderous
And lnhumon Weapons
BY the Associated Press

VATICAN CITY, July 26.-
Pope Plus XII issued an encycii.
cal today reminding the worle
that war brings nothing but ruin
death and all kinds of misery
and imploring peoples and theil
rulers to strive for peace.
The newest encyclical, entitled
with Greatest Sorrow" was de.
scribed by Vatican sources as the
pontiff's most important pro-
nouncement in many months. Ir
it the Pope also appealed fol
social justice for the worlds
needy.
The Pope called attention tc
"darkening clouds that are hiding
the sky" and reminded the world
that "murderous inhuman weap-
ons" have been developed which
could destroy almost all the good
that mans ingenuity has pro-
duced.
Recalls 1899 Encyclical.
The Pope recalled his first en-
cyclical, issued October 27, 1889
at the outset of World War II. 1t
had been addressed "to q world in
all too dire need of help and
guidance"
His new appeal was dated July
10, 1850, and released for publica-
tion by the Vatican today. The
encyclical was the latest in a long
series of appeals the Pope has
made for peace during his reign
of more than 10 years as head of
the worlds 400 million Roman
Catholics.
I'VE, who have most highly at
heart the liberty, the dignity, the
prosperity of all nations" he said,
cannot but return to exhort
warmly all citizens and their
rulers to true concord and peace"
The pontiff declared that "in
not a few countries falseness
rather than truth is being pre-
sented under a certain guise of
reason; love and charity are not
favored, but hate and blind riv-
airy is insinuated; concord be-
tween citizens is not exalted, but
disturbances and disorders are
provoked"
Asks Just Laws for Needy.
Without doubt" the Pope said,
the needy people must be raised
to a level bef1tting man; but not
with force and agitation, but with
just laws.
Certainly, all controversies that
divide and separate peoples, must
be eliminated as soon as possible
under the auspices of truth and
the guidance of justice"
The encyclical urged Catholic
bishops throughout the world to
lead crusades of prayer and pen
ance ito placate the majesty of
the Lord. offended by so many
grave public and private crimes. :"

Korean crisis developed, even
though taxes normally originate
in the House.
Chairman Taft Of the Senate
Republican Policy Committee was
not ready to comment on the
Presidents program. which would
raise about So billion from higher
rates on 50 million individuals
about SIS billion from higher
corporation rates and $500 million
by closing loopholes in existing
tax laws.
Defense Money Pledged.
Senator Wherry said Congress
is going to give the President all
OF the money he deems necessary
for defense. but that the Presi-
dent should make "a complete
review of all military" budget
items before the tax bill passes.
The Senate will have a show
down on the non defense economy
issue in a few days. It will come
on the bipartisan amendment
offered by more than IS Senators
to cut 10 per cent from the omni-
bus budget bill after exempting
defense, the postal service, vet
erans' benefits and such fixed
charges as interest on the debt.
