head in handling them can yield
enormous savings.
The duplication, duplication,
quadruplication of records-and
so on up to 13- grew up with the
years, chiefly to protect the Gov
ernment from being cheated.
After an instance of a Federal
agency being bilked, there would
be another move-and another
copy-to plug the loophole.
The simpliflcation of the system
with only four copies produced is
expected to leave open no oppor-
tunities for cheating. GSA gave
this example Of how it will work: i:
A Forestry Service employe in
the field would need an ak. He
would make the purchase at the
nearest store, using an order book
carried in his pocket. He would
fill out the order with an indelible
pencil. making three carbons.
The storekeeper would get two
copies. He would keep one for
his records and sign the other,
sending it in for payment. The
forester would turn in the other
two copies to his agency.
At present. when person sells
something to the Government he
fills out and signs anywhere from
two to nine copies.
GSA said the proposed new
form will have to be approved by
the General Accounting Office and
the Budget Bureau.

Wilmington Transit Union
Accepts Scent Paw Raise
BY HE Assoeiafed Press

WILMINGTON. Del. Jan. g.
Employees of the Delaware Coach
Co. agreed last night to accept
a six-cent hourly wage increase,
averting a threatened tie-up of the
city's transportation system.
The workers-members of Local
842. Amalgamated Association of
Electrical Street Railway and Mo-
tor Coach Operators (AFL)-
walked out last November is and
remained on strike for three weeks
before Gov. Elbert Carvel arranged
a truce until January 10.
The Delaware Public Service
Commission ordered an increase
in fares from four tokens for IS
cents to 10 cents straight fare and
three cents for transfers.
The increase was held illegal
last week by the Court of Chan
cery on the grounds the commits
sion did not hold public hearings.
The coach company's operators,
in addition to the wage increase
accepted a company offer for hos
pitalization insurance amounting
to 50 month.
Averaging $72 weekly, the oper-
ators at first asked for IS cents
more per hour. then scaled their
demands down to Is cents. They
walked out in November when the
company offered 5 cents.

there were 22.75o employees in the
constituent agencies. not counting
those in the War Assets Admins
tration, which General Services
took over to liquidate. At the end
of the year, its remaining func-
tions were transferred to GSA's
liquidation service.
On December /, five months
after GSA started, its rolls con-
tanned 1882, also exclusive of the
expiring WAA. This was a reduc-
ton Of 818 employees. which the
administration said resulted from
economies by streamlining opera
tions. Such streamlining was one
of the things the Hoover Commit
tee advocated again and again.
There is one direction in which
GSA hopes to increase its staff.
This is its central traffic office,
which has the job of routing
freight shipments in the most eco
nomical channels.
Demand Proper Management.
A Hoover Commission task force
reported that the Government
spends about 81 900 200, 900 a year
for transportation of property. It
said proper traffic management
would produce initial savings Of
20 to Is per cent and continued
annual savings in smaller amounts.
The GSA traffic now has a staff
OF "a, including two attorneys,
technicians in traffic movements
and tariffs and clerical workers.
1t hopes to expand its staff to Sc,
modest goal in view of the task
force recommendation of an Office
OF 613 persons, costing $2,777,50o.
Records management is an
other of GSA's responsibilities
that has been receiving attention.
The Hoover Commission reported
there were 20.000,000 cubic feet of
Government records already in ex-
istence and that more were being
accumulated at the rate of 1,000.-
600 cubic feet year.
A Bonfire Would Help.
Jess Larson. General Services
administrator, has declared the
Government should introduce a
birth control" program in the
field of records. He even went so
far as to speculate whether it
would be a good idea to have a
big bonfire.
Instead of the bonfire, GSA is
preparing to issue a manual to
the executive agencies. describing
step by step how to get rid of
of unnecessary records,
which take up so much space.
Housing them alone costs ST.
100000 a year. the Hoover Com
mission estimated.
This records control and dis
posal program is under the Ma
tional Archives and Records Serv-
Ice, a part of GSA.

Distribution Of Extra Food
BY the Associoted Press

Representative Lovre, Republican,
of South Dakota has urged Secre-
tary of Agriculture Brannan to

The Department was authorized

Winter months bring unem-
ployment and an increased de-
mand upon our various county

Mr.. Lovre said that surplus
perishable foods first must be Of

Dr.. Isaiah Bowman, Geogropher
Dies ot77
Was One Of Experts
Who Fixed Borders
Of Europe After 1918
by the Associoted PrsSs

BALTIMORE. Jan. 6. - DR..
Isaiah Bowman, president emeri-
tus of Johns Hopkins University
and one of the geographers who
redrew the map of Europe after
World War I, died today.
DR.. Bowman suffered a heart
attack yesterday at his home. He
was taken to Johns Hopkins Hos
pital about midnight and died
there at $40 am. He was II
years old on December 26.
Through constant intellectual
achievement he rose from a log
cabin boyhood to become one of
the worlds greatest experts on the
world. President Woodrow Will
son took him to the Paris Peace
Conference. President Franklin
D. Roosevelt called him to the
White House for consultation dur
ing World War II.
In making the world his sub
ject. DR.. Bowman took in both
the economy and the culture of
its human inhabitants. He was
one of the leaders who revived
the Importance of geography in
Goth century education.
Two of his greatest contribu-
tions to knowledge of the world
are his historical map of the
United States and his "millionth"
map of South America (the scale
is l to 100000. Each took
about 20 years in the making.
He became president of Johns
Hopkins In 1885 and retired in
March, 1948. He came to Johns
Hopkins after 20 years as director
of the American Geographical
Society in New York. He was an
explorer of the Rocky Mountains
and the Andes.
In recent months he served as
chairman of the Economic CO.
operation ADMINISTRATIONS Com
mittee on Overseas Territories. He,
also had been helping Harvard
University as member of its
Board of Overseers.
One of his last chores was di-
recting the Maryland unit of the
committee for the Hoover plan to
reorganize the Federal Govern
ment. He also was working on q
book.
Born in Waterloo, Ontario, De-
cember 26, 1878, he was moved
with his family when 8 weeks old
to Michigan log cabin. He was
one of eight children.
After a common school educa-
tion he started teaching in Michi-
gan public schools when he was
18. He studied at Michigan State
Normal School at Ypsilanti and
taught there year. He already
was so DISTINGUISHED as a

admitted there have been some
differences about the weight that
should be attached to military
and political factors, but insisted
these were truly minor.
The broad Far Eastern policy
being shaped by the administra-
tion is understood to be aimed at
driving a wedge between the
Communists and the people Of
China and other Asiatic coun-
tries.
Expected to be set forth in a
statement soon. this policy would
announce a firm attitude of
friendship for the inhabitants of
China and support for Nationalist
AS opposed to Communist -
movements elsewhere in Asia. The
idea Is that in the long run peoples
under Communist domination, or
threatened by it, will turn from
communism to democratic prin-
ciples.
This apparently was what was
behind statement in Tokyo by
DR.. Philip C. Jessup, rowing Amer
lean Ambassador, that China still
is not considered lost to the Com
munists. ....
Americans Warned Individually.
Americans on Formosa, officials
said, are getting their warnings to
leave the island individually from
United States Embassy and con-
sular representatives. A general
public warning was avoided be-
cause it might needlessly weaken
the Chinese Nationalists' hold on
the island. their last stronghold
against the Communists.
Incomplete records indicate
there are between 100 and 200
Americans on Formosa. including
officials, missionaries and q
scattering of business and pro-
fessional people.
The apparent writing off of For
mosa to the Communists stirred a
f1ve-hour debate in the Senate
after the Presidents statement
yesterday, ruling out the use of
American forces there or provision
of military aid or advice to the
Nationalists.
Senator Knowland opened the
attack with charge that the ad-
ministration had betrayed the
nom Communist forces. He said
that if Formosa falls, our first line
of defense may become the Ameri-
ican Pacific Coast.
Connally Backs Truman.
Senator Connally gave unquali-
fed support to Mr.. Truman's de-
cision. and so did other Democrats
on and off the Senate floor.
And the Texas Senator, appar-
emily sensing that echoes Of the
debate might be heard later,
added:
Let the Republicans take 1t
before the people if they want a
decision. They'll find out that the
people support the President"
Mr.. Truman. he said, is "abso-
lutely right" To do otherwise
would involve us in a serious sit
uation." he added. "There is too
much danger of war in trying to
take over Chang Kai-shek's gov
ernment and to defend Formosa y
The islands strategic impor-
tance is not enough to warrant
this Nation flirting with war to
save 1t, the Texan said.
But Senator Knowland argued
there would be less danger in
standing up against Communists
In China, Formosa and the Far
East than there was in operat-
ing the Berlin airlift across Rus
sian-controlled territory ~ far
less than in doing nothing"
IF FormoSa gets into unfriend-
/ ly hands our defense of Japan,
Okinawa and the Philippines is
pierced" the Californian said.

j ate that Americas prestige and
