HsI THE TRADERS HORN
By Yves" Baxer Executive Director Board Of rude

Greetings Back again after a
long dry spell. With due modesty
we hope that you missed THE
TRADERS HORN during the past
few weeks. Our absence was caused
by the pressure of many duties in
connection with preparing for the
Annual Meeting and Elections of
the Board of Trade and the extra
duties which followed Immediately
thereafter, but we had hoped to be
back with this column last week
Unfortunately we did not know
about the plans to move up the
publication date of the Sentinel by
one day in order to assure delivery
before Thanksgiving Day, and
when we got around to the column
it would have been too late for pub
lication. Therefore, we held off
until this weeka nd will be back on
schedule beginning now.
The Annual Dinner, as you know
by now, was successful and well
attended. About hundred mem
bers and guests were there to elect
the 1854 slate of officers and di-
Fectors and to hear the Progress
Report on 1853 and the Plans for
1854.
The Plans for 1854 are contained
in a 12-point program which out
lines projected new activities and
the continuation of other projects
begun in 1858. 1t is an ambitious
program meaning lots of work and
full participation in Board of
Trade activities. 1t points up the
fact that more than ever before
active participation by all members
Is needed to assure a successful
year.
Because of the interest which
has been aroused by this program,
we have set ourselves task for the
next IL weeks. 1t is planned to
take each of the IL points of the
program, one each week, and go
into some detail on its status and
its augmentation. In this way we
believe that everyone in Rockville
will be able to familiarize himself

Canada Groups ask Corridors Through
 Alaska Panhandle

K \ VANCOUVER, B.C., R "A reso- lution urging that corridors" be cut through the Alaska panhandle 10 allow Canada access to seaports from northern British Columbia and Yukon Territory has been passed by the British Columbia and Yukon Chamber of Mining.
 Copies of the resolution have been forwarded to Prime Minister St. Laurent, Premier Bennett of British Columbia and Governor Frank Heintzleman of Alaska.
 Establishment of these Cana dian ports and subsequent devel- oprnent of hydroelectric, mineral and other resources will bring prosperity to all citizens of Can- ada and the United States living in those northern areas" the reso- lution said
 The corridors should 'in no way interfere with the rights of people in Alaska or with existing towns, ports and other important settle ments."
 The group said that because the area was ''on the threshold of an era of tremendous industrial ex- pansion and development, it was essential that the US. and Canada "work together in closest coopera- tion."
 An early meeting of officials of the three territories involved to discuss the proposal was urged. .

PMA-The whopping 80 per
cent cut in personnel among the
employees here in the Production
and Marketing Administration
will start a chain of "bumpings"
throughout the entire Agricul-
ture Department, which will in
volve thousands of workers.
Agriculture Secretary Benson
has directed that the PMA's
Washington staff of 2,348 per-
sons be cut by $50. Other re-
ductions throughout the Agri-
culture Department are in the
offing.
LABOR Labor Department
officials hope some of the cut Of
$50 jobs there can be achieved
by not filling vacancies, but
some direct dismissals probably
will have to be made. The Labor
Department is the smallest of all
Government departments, and
even a minor personnel reduce
ton is felt by the employees.
GOOD FRIDAY The White
House has instructed agencies to
allow employees time off to OBJ

out on the rest Of the Govern
ment's employees.
Also indorsing the Rees meas
ure was Frank Yates, Assistant
Controller General, and Luther
Steward, president of the NFFE,
favored the measure generally.
Mr.. Steward emphasized that
most Federal employees must ac-
count carefully for all leave they
use and that the Rees bill should.
apply only to officials who do
not have to account to any one
for the leave they take.
During the hearing, one of the
most effective denunciations of
Thomas leave rider vet heard in
Congress was made by Repre-
sentative Broyhill, Republican, of
Virginia. Mr.. Broyhill, who has
sponsored a bill to repeal the
rider, declared: "The rider is
punitive legislation. It is di-
rected unfairly against the vast
army. Of able and honorable
Government workers. Experi-
ence has shown that it adversely
affects the efficiency and morale
of our Government employees
and that it operates against the
best interests of the Federal
Government. The sooner we get
rid Of this undesirable amend
ment, the better it will be for
our country"
FSA-The fact that the Fed
eral Security Agency will become
the Department Of Health, We'll
fare and Education does not
mean the number of employment
will increase. AS a matter of
fact. the new department may be
in for some personnel cuts. the
same as most of the other depart
ments are experiencing. OF
course, the departmental status
of FSA will result in the creation
of at least three top jobs-an un-
dersecretary and two assistant
secretaries.

COMMERCE-Veteran Com
merce Department employees re-
port morale there at the lowest
ebb in years. They say some
body must be giving Commerce
Secretary Weeks some bad advice
on how to deal with the employees.
Mr.. Weeks recent critical
statements and the atmosphere
of distrust and suspicion some
of his aides have toward many
Commerce career employees have
played havoc with morale and
efficiency, these employees say.
They point out that the success
of Mr.. Weeks regime in the final
analysis will rest with the work
performance of the employees and

appropriations bill and not as
regular legislation by the proper
civil service groups in Con-
gress, said his committee will
hold hearings on the Thomas
rider Immediately after Easter
recess.
Of course, the legislation to
repeal the rider still has a long
way to go. Even if approved by
the House unit, it still would
have some legislative barriers to
hurdle. Even so, the latest turn
of events is encouraging to Fed
eral employees and offers them at
least a reasonable hope that
the leave accumulation ban will
be repealed or at least eaSed
considerably.
In answer to questions by
committee members, Mr.. Young
made it plain that he regards
the Thomas rider as a barrier to
effective Government operations
and administration. Also, it re-
acts unfairly against employees,
Mr.. Young said.
Regarding accumulated leave,
Mr.. Young pointed out it is not
"a bonus or a gift" It is pay
ment for earned vacation periods
that have not been used, in some
cases under the pressure of the
last war, Mr.. Young declared.
"Also, I should like to point
out that the accumulation of an
nual leave serves to take the
place of unemployment compen-
sation for the Federal employees,
none of whom are eligible to re-
ceive this type of benefit" Mr..
Young added.
During his testimony, Mr..
Young Endorsed the Rees bill to
exclude top political officials
from the leave law. But he
made it plain that the recent
disclosures that 215 top officials
of the Truman administration
drew $709 900 in leave pay should
not cause Congress to take it
