Senators May Decide
Today on Reduction
In Foreign Aid Bill
By J. A. Oleorv

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee may reach a decision
today on President Truman's $7.9
billion foreign aid program for
the year starting June l.
The Committee on the Present
Danger sent to Congress last night
plea for the full amount, but it
has been taken for granted on
Capitol Hill for several weeks that
some cut will be made.
A booklet distributed by the
Present Danger group argued that
allowing the full amount now
would save billions in money and
possibly many American ives in
the long run.
Tax Boost Is Alternative.
Many members of Congress feel,
however, they must either cut the
budget generally or raise more
taxes to reduce the big impending
Treasury deficits for the next two
years, and they have no taste for
more taxes on the eve of an elc-
ton.
Hence. they are preparing to
cut the budget. The House already
has ordered a cutback of SOS
billion in the amount the Penta-
gon had planned to spend next
year on this country's own de-
fenses. In the light Of that
action it is not expected the
foreign aid bill will go un-
scratched. 1
Chairman Connally of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee
has said he expects the foreign
aid budget to be cut about $1I
billion. Some Senators would goI
deeper, but administration sup
porters will try to hold the reduc-
ton to minimum. They have
suggested 10 per cent cut, which
would be only $3.50 million.
Partisan Group.
The Committee on the Present
Danger describes itself as a non
partisan group of private citizens.
1t is headed by James B. Conant,
president of Harvard University,
and was formed two years ago to
focus public attention on the
threat of a major Communist
aggression"
The organization pointed out
yesterday that funds for foreign.
aid "are in reality not assistance
to such countries but a United
States contribution to a common
plan of defense"
Among those connected with the
committee are DR.. Vannevar Bush,
president of the Carnegie Insti-
tute of Washington: Paul G.. Hoff-
man, former Marshall Plan ad-
m1nlstrator;; Maj. Gen. julius
Ochs Adler, general manager of
the New York Times, and Barry
Bingham, editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal.

Rain Crimps Parade Plans.
-Four days of heavy rain have
dampened plans for a colorfui
mile-long parade through the
main street of this small college
town.
Floats built by 48 State delega-
tlonS and five Territories were
hastily dragged under shelters
when the rain started. Work has
continued on them in the base
ment of the Robert E. Lee Hotel

ter and in the garage of Univer-
sity President Francis P. Gaines,
among other places. In this ga
rage-where Gen. Robert E. Lee
stabbed his retired war steed,
Traveller-are stored the floats of
the Colorado and Georgia dele

yCdl. JUSCpu XOuuSs
The 400,492 figure does not in
|clude deaths, dismissals or retire
ments. It includes only those en-
|ployes who for one reason or
another quit their jobs. OF course,
some of them probably got other
Federal positions. But the great
majority took jobs in private in
dustry.
Government personnel officials
give a number of reasons for the
large number Of designations in
Government.
For one thing, private industry
pays large salaries in many types
of positions. particularly in pro-
fessional, scientific and technical
fields.
Also, the constant curtailment
of Federal employe benefits by
Congress. such as last years re-
duction Of annual leave benefit
and the curb on promotions, has
caused many employees to quit in
disgust.
Also. the permanency of Federal
employment which always at
tracted people in the past no
longer holds true. While no en-
|ploye who passed a civil service
exam ever was guaranteed a life
time job, it always used to be
more or less understood that if an
employe did his work well, he
would have nothing to worry
about. But the situation has
changed now, with many agencies
at the mercy of meat-ax economy
riders that impose blanket cuts
without regard to individual en-
ployeS.
The result since 1945 has been
sporadic observation-disclosures in
which career employees with Is tc
80 years Of service have lost their
jobs.

Interest Centered

tions this week but major interest
centered on Massachusetts, whose
preferential primary tomorrow
could whittle Senator Taft's 266
to 233 delegate lead over Gen.
Eisenhower.
Oklahoma. Delaware, Tennessee
and Massachusetts, hold conven-
tions or primaries this week. Okla
homa Democrats are meeting to-
day in State convention to COM
plete a 24-vote delegation.
The possibility Of floor battle
at Oklahoma City melted when
the forces of Senator Kerr of
Oklahoma, a candidate for the
Democratic nomination, and Gov.
Johnston Murray agreed before
hand on a compromise. An execu-
tive council resolution voted yes
terday instructs the delegation to
vote for Senator Kerr but allows
the delegates to release themselves
any time they feel the favorite SON
is out of the running. Gov. Muir
ray had wanted an uninstructed
delegation.
State Has 80 Delegates.
Political eyes were turned most
lily on Massachusetts,, home State
of Gen. Eisenhower's campaign
manager, Senator Lodge. Massa-
chusetts will send 38 delegates to
the Republican National Conven-
tion-and Senator Lodge claims
most of them for the ganeral.
The State has 10 at-large dele
gate candidates, who are unop-
posed and who are reported divid-
ed this way: Two pledged to Sem
ator Taft, two to Gen. Eisenhower
and six undeclared.
Possibly 100000 voters will bal
lot on Y Democratic delegates
with half votes each-and the re-
naming % COP delegates.
A sweep of the COPS % dele
gates-plus the two already COM
mitted to Gen. Eisenhower-would
give Gen. Eisenhower 80 new votes
compared with Senator Taft's
two.
The results are not binding on
delegates and the voters must
write in their preference. The
States attorney general ruled
nicknames like ike" and Bob"
would count.
Basil Brewer. publisher of the
/ New Bedford Standard-T Times and
State campaign manager for Sem
ator Taft, claimed a majority for
the Ohioan a week ago but would
not make an election eve forecast.

publicans hold State convention

ment personnel officials realize
that Congress isn't the only one
to blame in the situation. Too
many Federal administrators and
their personnel officials have
brought Congressional reprisal on
Federal employees because of their
failure to keep their own house in
order. The Civil Service Com
mission in the past also has not
always been on it's toes.
Meat-ax personnel cuts prob
ably wouldn't be so prevalent in
Congress if more agencies made
honest attempts to prevent over
Stating.
Also, such restricting legisla-
ton as the Whitten rider curbing
promotions probably wouldn't have
been imposed by Congress if
Government officials had been
more careful in preventing eX-
cesively rapid promotions. The
rate Of promotions during the last
war in some agencies reached
scandalous proportions, the real
story of which has never ade-
quately been told.
The result is that deserving and
capable Federal employees suffer.
They are denied the promotions
they would be entitled to if the
agencies and the Civil Service
Commission had been more careful.
COSTLY-All these factors en-
ter into the situation. The result
Is costly to the Government.
1t causes the loss of essential
employees. And it is a waste of
time and money spent in training
employees, only to see them leave
and have the added expense of
training new workers to take their
place.
