Ahmg The
POTOMAC
From Your congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

The Eisenhower Administration
isn't putting up any wasteful,
fancy, new government buildings
for itself, but is doing a remark
able remodeling job on the burea-
cracy inside them.
President Eisenhower was the
first chief executive in history to
get going on efficiency and econo-
my before his Inauguration. He set
up a special committee to dig out
the Hoover Commissions report
on government reorganization
which had gathered so much dust
since the Commission did its work
for the Republican 80th Congress
six years ago. The new Congress
promptly extended the Presidents
reorganization power.
In seven months Congress okay-
ed ten reorganization plans sub
mitted by Mr.. Eisenhower. They
covered welfare, agriculture, de-
tense mobilization, the Justice De-
partment, the EXport-Import Bank
the Defense Department, the for
eign aid and information programs,
the Presidents economic advisors
and the air mail subsidy program.
All these add up to better service
by the government at less cost to
the taxpayers.
But the best work is still to
come. Neither the President nor
the Congress has assumed that the
whole job could be done in half
? year. The Eighty-third Congress
has another year of its term; the
President has three more. Accord
ingly, work has begun on long
term projects which will actually
reverse the 20-year-old pattern Of
making the Federal government
bigger and more powerful.
A new Hoover Commission is in
business. This time it will make
recommendations even more i'm
portant than those which just save
money. 1t will study our laws ard
Constitution to find out how the
government can be brought closer
20 the people so that once again
they run it instead of its running
them.
A Commission on Intergovern-
mental Relations has been set up
to find out what the federal gov
eminent is doing that the states
can do better. Clarence Manion, a
man who is former Dean
of Notre Dame Law School, is

Only
County Ignoring
State Air Alert

A preliminary Cneckup reveals
that Montgomery County has not
as yet made plans to comply with
the Maryland Civil Defense Agen-
cy's request for full participation
in the Statewide Air Raid Alert
to be held sometime during the
week of September goth.
States Civil Defense officials
had asked all counties to take part
in the exercise by sounding sirens,
stopping traffic and having the
public "take cover"
Arthur E. Miller, County Civil
Defense Director, has said that he
expects to sound the County's so
warning devices. However, the
County will not attempt to halt
traffic or ask the public to take
cover.
AS far as is known, Montgomery
County is the only one in the
State which does not intend to at
tempt to meet the States require
mems in the test.
Operation Check-up" is design
ed to educate the public in what
to do when the "RED" warning
is sounded, signifying the immi-
nent attack of enemy planes.

A Committee on Government
Contracts, with Vice President
Dick Nixon as its chairman, is
going to bear down on unfair and
discriminatory employment by
companies who are dealing with
the government. This is a tremen-
dous stride in the field of civil
rights, since the federal, govern
ment is buying a quarter of the
goods produced in this county.
Probably it will take little time
for the significance of all this to
be realized by the American peo-
pie. The job they asked for in last

ing to ask ourselves one of these
days why We didn't demand it
