and several other deserving Or
ganizationS to conduct a single
fund drive once a year. with the
receipts to be split according to
agreement among the groups.
This move to limit Embarrassing
drives does not mean that the
council feels that the various
groups engaging in these cam
paigns are not doing worthwhile
work. Rather, it is the feeling
that Government employees are
being subjected to too much
financial pressure.
Many employees have complained
that they cant afford to contribute
to all the various charity drives.
This Is particularly true of en-
ployes In the lower pay brackets.
Yet the employees say they can
hardly refuse to contribute to each
campaign, because usually the
head of the agency or one of the
bosses in their Office has taken a
personal interest in the drive.
At Tuesdays meeting, the coun-
Gil has invited leaders of the var
lous employe unions to attend. In
this way it hopes to get all points
of view on the situation.
The council doesn't expect to
come up with the solution on Tues
day. But it hopes that at least
the meeting will be the first step
towards solving the problem.

Fighting Strength Declared Cut

but hits the Army and Marine
Corps hardest because their turn
over is greatest.
Army planners say they need
more men under the circumstances
than their present 1,552,000 CELL
ing allows. but particularly they
want a more realistic and pre-
dictable basis for planning. Few
of them expressed any desire to
increase the length of service for
draftees.
The planners would like to
operate on the assumption that
the Korean fighting may continue
indefinitely. Then. they say,
should peace come suddenly their
manpower requests could be cut
accordingly.
One proposal said to be under
consideration is that Congress ap-
prove two Defense Department
budgets-one based on no fight
ing. the other on continuation
of hostilities. Then, the situation
would decide which budget would
be in effect.
Confusion Over Budget.
The planners say the prospect
of smaller military budget next
year makes their demand even
more urgent. Last year the ad-
ministration asked Congress for
$51 billion which was cut to $46.6
billion for the fiscal year which
started last July l. Pentagon Of
ficials are reported talking now OF
asking between $41 and $46 billion
for the next year.
The uncertainties of a Korean
truce are blamed for confusion
during the last fiscal year as tc
just how large a military estab-
lishment would be permitted by
the budget and by top level policy

shifted up and down several times
during the year. Anticipating a

Pentagon planners say the Ma.
tion's fighting strength is beins
sapped because military manpowel
policies for the past two years
have been based on the uncertain
assumption that the Korean wal
would end soon.
The planners are trying to con-
vince Federal budget writer's
preparing a new spending pro-
gram for the next Congress-that
a more realistic approach to the
Korean war is needed.
These military men complain
that the so-far erroneous assump
ton of an early truce saddles
them with short-range planning
and makes it difficult to maintain
a smooth balance of men and
money.
The problem is now acute be-
cause Of an accelerated turnover
of military personnel. Thousands
of men called into service at the
start of the Korean outbreak in
1850 are ending their minimum
two-year service. forcing a
speeded-up draft Of recruit re-
placements.
The double-bar effect of this
has been to take from overseas
units much of their trained per-
sonnel and to tie up most of the
home based army in training the
heavy influx of draftees.

industrial production hit a new
postwar high in October, the Fed
eral Statistical Office reported to-
day. A gain of S per cent over the
previous month put the industrial
index at 158 points. This is based
on 1896 production as 100.
Biggest gainst were in food pro-
duction, 81 per cent, and consumer
goods, 9 per cent.
Only building declined, by about
3 per cent, and this was attributed
largely to the weather.

Commissioners Back
D. T.. Home Rule Plan
Sponsored by Case

The District Commissioners
have just approved the home-rule
plan embodied in legislation spon-
sored by Senator Case, Republican,
Of South Dakota and Commis-
sioner F. Joseph Donohue hopes
the coming Congress will enact it.
Commissioner Donohue voiced
his view last night over Radio
Station WWDC in the Report to
the People" program.
The Case plan provides for an
elected city council and school
board here. Mr.. Donohue recalled
that in the last session of Con-
greSs, it was passed by the Senate
with both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis supporting the program.
Mr.. Donohue said he hopes the
measure will become law shortly
because it is non-political and is
for the good of the National
Capital.
He noted that the Commission
ers approved the Case plan. with
himself and Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier voting. 1t was not re-
ferred to the Citizens Advisory
Council, he said, because it was
q matter of policy.
Questioned on Many Subjects.
During the 15-minute program,
Mr.. Donohue was questioned on a
wide variety of subjects:
He said:
The law under which those who
threw away leaflets, passed out by
Boy Scouts to jaywalkers yes
terday, would be prosecuted is that
prohibiting the littering of the
streets with handbills.
He sees no reason or likelihood
why District Government employees
holding high posts under Civil
Service should lose their jobs with
the change in administration.
Interesting and important prob
lens face the people of the District
in the weeks to come. Among
them he listed the forthcoming
hearing early in December on al
recommendation by the Citizens
Advisory Council regarding the use
of the so-called Connecticut pointI
system program in revoking
drivers permits.
Hopes AS Reorganization.
Here Mr.. Donohue also said
the District Budget hearing will
be held shortly after January l..
He said the $319 million public
works program will be up for
discussion and urged citizens to-
support the recommendations of
the Addison Committee for needed
improvements in Washington.
Mr.. Donohue said he hopes the
District Government reorganiza-
tion plan will be carried through,
despite the change in administra-
tions. He said he sees little like
unOO0 JnaC the buQgeL bureau-
sponsored city manager plan will

A moral obligation rests upon
all persons in public life to- take
q lie detector test If required.
Mr.. Donohue declared. This. he
said, begins at the top and goes
all the way down to the bottom"
BY doing this. he said, one tends
to remove any suspicion Of guilt
that might be attached by reason
Of refusal to take the test. :.
The District. he said, has two
lie detectors. He said they have
been instrumental in helping solve
grave crimes. but also have cleared
a number of innocent people.
