By the Associated Press

Former President Herbert
Hoover today urged Congress to
create another commission
similar to one he organized six
years ago-to find new ways Of
streamlining the Federal Govern
ment.
An increase in the annual
budget in the past six years from
$40 billion to $50 billion creates
new problems of organization
which should be studied" Mr..
Hoover said.
He made his comment In a
letter to Chairman Dawson of the
House Executive Expenditures
Committee who had asked the
former President to testify on
reorganization legislation. Mr..
Hoover said previous commitments
prevented him from appearing
personally.
20 Proposals Pending.
Before the committee are 2s
reorganization proposals, includ-
ing several bills. which would
lcreate a new Hoover commission
"While many commission rec
ommendations have been adopted
during the past three years." Mr.
Hoover wrote, there are important
reorganizations of the Post Office
Treasury, Interior and Agriculture
Departments, the Veterans Ad.
ministration and the Federal Sc.
curity Agency which are not deal
with in the 20 bills before youl
committee.
1--WE must also reorganize the
enormous increase in Federal ac-
tivity since the commissions rec
ommendation. I suggest. therefore
that these proposals to re-establisf
the commission go over to the next
Congress"
Mr.. Hoover said great progress
had been made since the COM
mission submitted its recommen-
dations three years ago. The
commission ceased to operate after
that.
Two Plans Approved.
So far, Congress has approved

The fourth would reorganize

Mr.. Dawson reported last week
that well over so per cent of the

said he believed Congress. could

sion.

On Korea Veterans 81 Bill
BY the Associated Press

The House has put off until

Rights for those in military serv-
ice since the start Of the Korean
war.
Representative Springer, Re-
publican, of Illinois objected to

Funkhouser Claims
He Shortchanged Self
BY the Assoeiated Press

BALTIMORE, June 8. De-
tense counsel for Robert E. Funk
houser. Washington real estate
man accused Of trying to evade
Federal income taxes, argued yes
terday that the defendant actu-
ally shortchanged himself on real
estate depreciation.
Federal Judge w. Calvin Ches-
nut at first ruled out defense evi-
dence that the 56-year-old Funk
houSer could have claimed 4 per
cent, rather than the per cent
he had taken.
However, Judge Chestnut later
asked for legal briefs on the
matter.
The defense said it would show
that Mr.. Funkhouser could have
taken larger deductions than he
did. This would have reduced the
Governments criminal claim of
more than $4,000 in taxes for a
5-year period from 1943 to 1947,
MIR. Funkhouser's attorneys said.
He is accused of attempting to
evade taxes by claiming hundreds
OF expense items as business de-
ductions. Mr.. Funkhouser lives at
5315 Colorado avenue NV. in a
house he valued in his tax returns
at about $66.000
One of his deductions disal-
lowed by the Government was de-
probation on laundry. The
Government contended Mr.. Funk
houser did not even own it at the
time.
