Last October 81 the total was
1884.
There is hope in the long run
for some reduction in personnel
Ias the result of more efficient or
ganization and more work per en-
ploye.
Six Changes in Effect.
Savings estimated as a result of
the setting up of the General Serv-
ices Administration have been
ESTIMATED at $350,000, 900.
Other achievements during the
last session were the passage of
the Reorganization Act of 1949
and, under it, the submission of
presidential reorganization plans,
six of which became effective.
About 80 per cent of the whole
Hoover Commission program still
remains to be carried out. That
all Of it will ever become law is re-
garded as highly improbable. but
the amount accomplished last year
was impressive.
Former President Herbert Hoov-
er, chairman of the Commission
on Organization of the Executive
Branch, last month gave this prior
ity list for future action Reor-
ganization of the Civil Service. CT
Budgeting and Accounting and of
the Post Office unification of the
Federal Hospital service, of water
conservation services. of agricul-
tural land services anG of trans
portation services, and, finally, re-
lief for the President from much
of the load he carries.
Achievements Reviewed.
Taking the Hoover Commission
reports up one by one under their
titles. here. briefly, is what has
been done:
General Management in the
Executive Branch-The president
of the Civil Service Commission
was made chairman and assigned
the job of providing unified di-
rection of the commissions af-
fairs. The authority Of the Post
Master General was increased and
he was given a deputy. The
chairman of the Maritime Com
mission was made it's chief ad-
ministrative officer to strengthen
administration. The National Sc
curity Council and National Sc
curity Resources Boards were
transferred to the Executive Of
flee of the President where they
had been physically located al
ready. These changes were made
under four Presidential reorgan-
ization plans. At the last Ses-
sion Congress passed legislation
increasing the salaries of top
executives and it raised the al
lowance for travel expenses from
$6 day to a maximum of SO.
Much remains to be done. Pre-
sumably the President may have
some plans to offer to streamline
the executive setup. A compre-
hensive executive management
! bill was introduced in the last
session but consideration of it was
postponed until this session.
/ Personnel Management-Among
! the things Chairman Harry B.
Mitchell has done since the execu-
tive authority of the Civil Service
Commission was placed in his
hands are these: A rewriting of
the Civil Services rules and regu-
Ilations has been started to reduce
them from about TOO pages to 200
or 800. The Post Office employ
ment manual has been cut from
80 pages to 10. New tests have
been established for truck drivers
which are expected to bring about
the emuloyment of good drivers
Evening star., 1950-01-08

rather than men who can merely
drive trucks. This is expected to
cut accident claims against the
| Government.
The executive pay raise is
counted as an advance also toward
the goals in the Hoover Commits
sion's Personnel Management re-
port. But the greater part of the
commissions recommendations SO
far remain untouched.
Office of General Services
Practically all of the Hoover Com
missions recommendations have
been carried out.
Post Office The Postmaster
Generals authority has been in
creased, a deputy has been pro-
vided and provision has been
made for appointment of an ad-
visory board. Other recommends
tionS were that the Post Office be
decentralized into Is regions, that
the appointment of postmasters
be removed from politics, that
management, budgeting and ac-
counting be placed under the
Corporation Control Act of 1916
and that rates be raised for GER
tain services to make them self
supporting. Nothing has been
done about decentralization. A
bill was introduced to permit the
Postmaster General to appoint all
postmasters but little progress to-
ward enactment was made. Post
master General Donaldson SUBJ
mitted bill to provide business
type budget, audit and accounting
procedures. Opposition developed
on the part of Controller General
Lindsay c. Warren. who pre-
sented his own draft of a bill
Action deferred. A good deal of
study was given to the recon-
mendations for Increasing certain
postal rates and bills still are
pending. L
Foreign Enthusiastically all
OF the commissions recommends
tions have been carried out as has
been indicated already.
Agriculture Department The
Hoover Commission recommended
substantial reorganization, the
unif1cation of the agricultural
land services in the department,
regrouping Of activities and a
general streamlining. Practically
nothing has been done.
Budgeting and Accounting
This was one of the hot potatoes
among the Hoover Commission re-
ports. calling for thorough re-
form of the budgeting and ac-
counting practices. In response,
the 1851 budget moves a long
distance toward performance
budget which was recommended.
A new Accountant General in
Treasury was recommended to
prescribe administrative accounts
subject to the approval of the
Controller General. The account
ing recommendations have run
into opposition from the General
Accounting Office, an agency OF
Congress, not of the executive
There has been comparatively lit
tie legislative action.
National Security Organizati

OF the commissions recommends
tions have been carried out with
the unification of the armed
services.

FOOD POISONING

This is summer time and the
warm weather days bring on the
picnics that occasionally are fol-
lowed by uncomfortable bouts OF
food poisoning.
This condition, which used to be
commonly spoken of as 'ptomaine
poisoning, is caused by the effect
of bacteria in contaminated food.
Food poisoning may take place
in any individual or any group OF
people who have eaten infected
food. Infected meat or meat pro-
ducts are the most common sour
ces of trouble although milk and
other foods may also become con-
taminated.
There are many ways in which
food may become contaminated but
the most common way is through
extensive handling under unSani-
tary conditions.
1t should be pointed out that il
is not the rotting of food but the
presence of bacteria that causes the
trouble. Consequently most foods
causing food poisoning do not APP
petr to be spoiled
Milk and ice cream that have
been handled improperly and con-
taminated are common sources OF
the castro intestinal upsets during
the summer. This is especially true
among infants and young children
Epidemics of food poisoning oc-
cur most commonly in the summer
and when it is difficult to keep the
foods properly cooled and the warm
tn tends to promote the growth of
injecting bacteria.
1t is important to remember that
foods prepared for picnics should
be mixed and packed in clean con-
tainers.. This is especially true OF
such things as salads and pastries

MACHINES CAN SEW
BACKWARD OR FORWARD

Any sewing machine can be ad-
justed TO sew backward and 1or-
ward.
Even if it does not have a me-
chanical control for this purpose,
Edith Berry, extension clothing
specialist at Ohio State Univei-
sity, points out that you can move
the cloth back and forth with
your hands.
This technique is particularly
good in darning OF reinforcing
wash cloths, bath towels, chill
drens clothes or any badly torn
or worn fabric when it is nee
essary for the mend to be in
visible.
To sew backwards, release pres
sure on the presser bar by turn
ing the screw to the left a few
times. Place the material you are
going to sew in a frame or en-
broidery hoop TO hold it taunt.
Set the hoop under the needle SO
the wrong side Of the cloth in the
hoop touches the machine table.
This means that you will look at
the Eight side Of the needle IS
you work
Let the presser foot down and
sew. Move the hoop slowly back
and forth, or from side to side.
