u. 5. Agencies Fear
Breakdown if Jobs
Are SIashed Further
BY The Assoeiated Press

Several Federal agencies pro-
tested to Congress today that q
10 per cent payroll cut like the
one the Senate voted in the first
appropriations bill 1t has handled
this year would seriously threaten
their operations.
Chief Judge John w. Kern OF
the United States Tax Court said
the reduction would bring a
breakdown In our organization. u
Jess Larson. head Of the Gen.
leral Services Administration. said
lit would be extremely difacult'
for his department ito maintain
a reasonable semblance Of meet
ing it's responsibilities"
These statements were made In
letters TO Senator Maybank, Dem
ocrat. of South Carolina, floor
manager for the $6,221, ,959. 600
Independent Of11ces appropria-
ltions bin which goes before the
Senate Monday for debate. SEN
ator Maybank said he had re-
lceived many such letters.
Cut Applied to Another Bill.
The 10 per cent payroll cut was
voted Tuesday in the Labor
Federal Security funds bill. This
was the first measure carrying
money for the fiscal year starting
July ! to come before the Senate
The same reduction then was
put in the Independent Offices
bill by the Senate Appropriations
Committee at the direction Of the
full Senate.

Security measure by q 58-to-2A
vote.
Mr.. Larson's General Services
Administration has the task o1

Would Curtail Services.
He wrote Senator Maybank that
his payroll requests In the fiscal
1882 budget represented a 3.5 per
lcent increase over the present
year.
The proposed 10 per cent cut
thus would reduce employment In
IGSA by 6.5 per cent without
eliminating any program or max
ling comparable reductions in de.
mands for services from other
agencies" Mr.. Larson said.
"This can only mean curtailins
'Iservices below the level necessary
for the proper conduct Of other
agencies"
Judge Kern said the tax court
has 134 employees. two fewer thar
lin 1910. But the court has 9,0O(
