The Senate Appropriations
Committee has decided to reopen
its hearings on the 1851 one
package money bill to give the
various Government departments
and agencies a chance to testify
on how the Houses 100000 Fed
|eral job cut would affect their
operations.
This development occurred yester-
day. after Budget Bureau officials
met in closed session with the
Senate group to answer questions
about the Thomas-Taber and
Jensen amendments adopted by
the House.
While the Budget Bureau
strongly opposes the amendments
on the grounds that they would
hamstring necessary. Government
activities. budget officials did not
offer an official opinion to the
Senate committee.
This is because the Senate
group invited them for their legal
and administrative interpretations
on what the two House economy
amendments would work out in
the various agencies.
Budget officials candidly told
the group that the two provisos
posed many questions they them
selves are unable to answer. 1t
was suggested the committee call
the various agencies to determine
how the operations of each would
be affected by the cuts.
Budget Director Frederick j
Lawton told the committee that
the amendments. for example
would curtail postal service even
more than is now contemplated
Another $4,000 postal workers
might have to be fired, he said.
Citing another example, Mr..
Lawton declared that the Vet
erans' Administration also would
have to curtail essential services
it is now giving veterans. More
than 10000 VA employees night
have to be fired, he said.
The military agencies would also
be hard hit and would be forced tt
fire civilians and replace then
with military personnel "in direct
contrast to the law" Mr.. Lawtot
added.
Consequently, representatives o.
the Defense Department, Veterans
Administration, Post Office De.
partment and other Federal agen,
cies will be asked to explain how
the economy cuts will affect them

has decided to invite Chairman

The Senate committee spit

invitation. Republican Senators
asked that Mr.. Taber be invited

Navy 10 Let Airmen
Freed dbyChineseR Red,
Tell Story Today
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

PEARL HARBOR. May 1S.-
The Navy promised to lift its
aloha curtain today and let two
American airmen tell the story Of
their 18 months as Chinese Com
munist prisoners.
The airmen-Marine MiSergt.
Elmer c. Bender Of Cincinnati and
Navy Chief Petty Offlcer william
c. Smith Of Long Beach. Calf
arrived here Tuesday night after
a 5,000-mile rush fight from
China.
For eight minutes the Navy per-
mitted photographers flashbulbs
to pop. But 1t wouldn't allow
newsmen close enough even to
ask Smith where he got his Ha-
waiian shirt.
Then it dropped the aloha cur
tain. That's the Hawaiian style
iron curtain" but composed only
of goodwill, the Navy said.
What we're doing now is trying
to untangle everything" Navy
spokesman explained. so when
they hit the mainland. we can tell
them, boys. have a good time.
. You're on your own
"As military personnel. they are
in a very strange category" the
spokesman said. He explained
that Smith and Bender, when they
landed in Red territory October
10. 1948, on a flight from Tsingtao,
were attached to the United States
West Pacific Fleet. This feet no
longer exists.
The Navy had to find uniforms
and figure out how much back pay
and leave was due. A spokesman
said the pay would total between
$4,000 and $4,000 each. And offers
for their story-from magazines,
television, movies and feature syn
dicates-swelled to 100000.
Mainland newsmen tangled Pearl
Harbor telephones much of yes
terday seeking interviews. The
aloha curtain was drawn tight.
A Honolulu Star Bulletin re-
porter brought out personal mes
sage from Smiths wife. He was
not permitted to deliver it.
In Chicago, Benders wife, Shir-
ley, said she tried to call her hus-
band from a radio show but the
Navy would not put it through.
The two were released May
in Tsingtao. The Communist.
said Smith and Bender finally
had confessed" to spying.
