program funds heavily, with the
result that personnel cuts have
to be made.
The reduction n-force pro-
gram dashes the hopes of laid
off Federal workers from other
agencies that they might find
jobs in the USIA. This hope had
been bolStered by the fact that,
within the next year, USIA will
move it's New York Office to
w a S hing ton. It had been
thought that the refusal of some
employees to move to Washington
would create job openings here
However, USIA officials say the
forthcoming personnel cuts will
just about Offset this factor and
that they don't anticipate much
hiring here when the New York
functions are transferred to
Washington about a year hence.
Besides, USIA employees who are
losing their jobs now probably
will receive first consideration
for any vacancies that occur.
incidentally, Congress has Civ
en- the USIA the authority to
make the layoffs in jobs in
Grades GS-8 and above without
regard to regular civil service
regulations. so long as the en-
ployes are non-veterans. Civil
service layoff rules must be OBJ
served in cases of veterans.
WORST EMPLOYER - Even
industry is beginning to realize
that working for the Govern
ment is no bed Of roses. Nations
Business, the magazine of the
country's industrialists and bus
inesSmen, has an article in its
current issue that terms the Fed
eral Government "The Nations
Worst Boss"
Many Government employees
will readily agree with this des-
ignation. Certainly, as Nations
Business points out, the firing
and demotions of employees with
80 or 40 years of faithful and
efficient service, with little or no
regard to their ability and sem
iority, does not speak well for
the Federal service.
If such practices existed in
any private company. that firm
would be accused of high-handed
irresponsible, anti-labor prac-
tees. But it seems that, so long
as the Federal Government is
the culprit. it can get away with
it.
WAGE BOOST-The Interde-
partmental Wage Board, which
represents 80 Federal agencies
with 1900 employees engaged in
printing and photographic work
here, has recommended a wage
increase for the workers aver
aging eight cents an hour.
The boards recommendations
are usually followed by the agen-
cies. However. several agencies
may have to delay putting the
pay raises into effect due to
sharp budget cuts in their 1854
operating funds.
POST OFFICE - The report
that the Post Office Department
will set up 13 regional Offices in
the field in a widespread decen-
tralized program is described as
"highly inaccurate" by Post Of

McCarran Thinks Haynes
May Deserve Deportation
BY the Asseeiatsd Prsss

Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada says Singer Dick
Haynes should be deported if,
as charged by the Justice De-
partment. he sought exemption
from World War II service on
grounds he was a citizen of a
neutral country.
THE information I have"
Senator McCarran told newsmen
yesterday. "is that he refused to
sign up for military service. If
he doesn't regard residence in
this country as worth fighting
for. he should be removed"
Senator McCarran, co-author
of the 1852 McCarran- Walter
immigration Act, scoffed at
claims he said were being made
that Mr.. Haynes difficulties
with the immigration Service
are a direct result of that act.
Enemies of the law, he said,
are using the Haynes case Ito
give wrong slant"
The Justice Department said
Mr.. Haynes, 34-year-old singer
Of popular ballads, who halls
from Argentina, applied for ex-
emption from World War II
service on the basis of his Ar
gentine citizenship. Argentina
was officially neutral during the

HYDE Protests Cuts
In Internal Revenue
AS 'OverzeaIous'

Representative Ayoe, Repuo-
lican, of Maryland. has charged
that the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice was "overzealous" in it's re-
cent economy reorganization
which resulted in the dismissal
Of 1000 employees.
Mr.. Hyde said yesterday that
the decentralized reorganization
would weaken the tax enforce
ment program and may mean
the collapse of our Federal tax
system" He declared he would
seek action in Congress to see
what steps can be taken to cor
rect the situation.
Mr.. Hyde said in the state
ment:
Il was deeply disturbed to
read the newspaper accounts of
the action taken by Commits
sioner Andrews in reducing the
number of Internal Revenue en-
ployes in Washington. While
am sympathetic to any attempts
to eliminate surplus Govern
ment employees, I am equally
concerned about keeping our
Government services at the
highest possible state of eff
cheney.
Fears Cuts Too Deep.
1.-THE newspaper accounts OF
the type of services eliminated
in the actions taken August 20
make me think that the sca,pel
Of economy has cut too deeply
and in the wrong place. It
seems to me that a fair and Just
administration of the revenue
laws requires coordination and
uniformity both in interpreta-
ton and administration.
"Since 1913 the various COM
missioners of internal revenue,
under both Democratic and Re-
publican Presidents, have in-
sisted that some form Of CEN
tralized control in Washington
over the various field activities
of the Internal Revenue Service
was necessary in the interests of
fair and uniform administration
This concept has now been aban-
doned under the banner of econ
omy.
Can't See Savings.
IT fail to see how any real
savings can be effected by split
ting a highly trained group of
professionals into a number of
small groups. If the administra-
tion and collection of income
taxes and the Interpretation OF
the income tax laws is to be
divided among the various rev.
enue districts without any CO.
ordination or review. it may
mean the collapse of our Federal
tax system.
"At the earliest possible mo-
ment I shall enlist the help of
leaders in the Congress to see
what steps. if any. can be taken
to correct what I consider to be
an overzealous reaction to the
Presidents plea to cut expenses
to the bone"

Iran Cracks Down
On Forces Which
Backed Mossadegh
BY the As.eeiated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. 25. -
Trans capital continued its slow
progress toward post-MoSsadegh
normality today. Shops in the
big native bazaar again were
open, the new government was
reported cracking down on Com
munist and nationalist hackers of
the ex-premier and there was
talk of new parliamentary elec-
tionS.
The new prime minister, Gen.
Fazollah Zahedi, announced his
government would continue ne
gotiationS ex-Premier Moham-
med MosSadegh started with the
Soviet Union IL days ago.
Gen. Zahedi told newsmen Iran
would go slow, however, in re-
suming diplomatic relations with
Britain. The break by MoSSa-
degh last October followed col
lapse of negotiations over the
nationalized properties in Iran
of the British-owned Anglo-Iran-
ian Oil Co.
This matter needs more study:
until these studies are carried
out, no decisions will be taken, >
Gen. Zahedi said.
Cracks Down on Businessmen.
But Gen. Zahedi said he would
not renew a law MosSadegh
pushed through six months ago
offering Trans oil at half the
world market price. The law is
about to expire. 1t had at
tracted only a few Italian and
japanese purchasers. With the
bulk Of the worlds oil tankers
controlled by the British or their
commercial allies, most would
be buyers have had no way to
haul Oil away from Iran since
the British blockaded its ship
ment.
The government cracked down
yesterday on bazaar leaders who
had ignored Gen. Zahedis call
for a return to normal business
and had kept the shops closed.
