Amendments Touching
Non-Defense Offices
Snutched From Bill

The threat Of large firings in
the Governments non-defense
agencies had evaporated today as
a result Of House-Senate confer
ence agreement last night on the
big 1851 Federal appropriations
bill.
Rejecting both the Houses
Taber- r-Thomas-Jensen and the
Senate's Byrd Bridges personnel
economy amendments, the con-
ferees instructed the Budget
Bureau to save not less than $3.50
million from the 1851 budget of
$32 billion.
Top Federal personnel officials
and budget officers said most of
the saving will come from con-
struction and administrative
items.
The conferences action ended
months of worry for thousands
Eof non-defense employees whose
Jobs were threatened. The
Houses cuts would have abolished
more than 100000 Federal Jobs.
The Byrd-Bridges amendment
would have been somewhat less
severe.
Conferees also agreed yester-
day to give the defense agencies
enough funds to hire PSI, 900 ad-
ditional civilians. including %. 900
for jobs outside the United states.
The ccnferees also agreed on a
