all veterans Who wanted to take 1t.
But in writing the bill. the
committee provided that all Gov
ernment apprentice jobs should
be limited to veterans. 1t wasn't
until afterward that other Fed
eral agenda realized the impli-
cations of the measure.
Some agencies requiring skilled
workers in vital military and
scientific projects say such a limi-
tation would seriously affect their
work. They declare most veterans
already are past the age when
they make suitable apprentices.
And some of the comparatively
few veterans who would apply
for various types of apprentice
jobs wouldn't be able to flll the
bill, they say.
Already these officials are max
ing plans to register opposition
to the measure before the Senate
Civil Service Committee. If the
House should approve the bill.
There are indications. however,
that the House is not very en-
thusiastic over the measure.
BEANS, BEANS, BEANS
The habit of some Govern
ment agencies of overstocking
on equipment has drawn the
ire of the Houses foremost
economy advocate, Represent
ative Rich, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Rich, who is best known
for his query "Where is the
money coming FROM" whenever
a bill involving outlay of funds
is considered by the House,
cited recent testimony by Cen
eral Services Administrator Jess
Larson to emphasize his point.
Mr.. Larson told about an un-
identified Federal agency that
had supply Of fiuorescent
light tubes that would last SO
years, a supply of ruled filler
paper that would last 16S years
and 4 supply of loose-leaf
binders that would last 247
years.
This was too much for Mr..
Rich, who told the House:
I'VE have a good size kitchen
in our home. and have
tried to visualize 247-year
supply of bean soup - the same
kind that is served here in the
Capitol. l just cannot do it.
When try to picture the num-
Der Of cans of bean soup that

PERSONNEL CUT PROPOSAL
The latest proposal to amend
the 1851 omnibus appropriations
bill to reduce Federal employment
has been made by Representative
Case. Republican, of South Da-
kota. Mr.. Case was the author of
the House adopted amendment
last week that struck $3.50 million
from the foreign-aid bill.
Mr.. Case said he will propose
to Republican leaders an amend
ment that would forbid any Gov
ernment agency from spending
more than 80 per cent of its salary
allotment for the year starting
July l. The other 10 per cent
would be applied to reducing the
national debt.
The South Dakotan declared
there is great personnel turn
over in Government each year,
and the 10 per cent saving could
be achieved by not filling 10 per
cent of these vacancies.
In some respects, Mr.. Cases
proposal is similar to the one
made recently by Representative
-.
