U. 5. Civilian Payroll
Trimmed by 4,3O2
In August, Byrd Says

Senator Byrd, Democrat. of
Virginia, reported today that the
Government trimmed its civilian
payroll by 24,302 persons during
August.
Senator Byrd. as chairman of
the Joint Committee on the Re-
duction of Nonessential Federal
Expenditures, said Federal en-
ployment in August totaled g.
430,412.
This was 24,302 below the July
figure, which. in turn, was A.
926 below June.
Defense Hardest Hit.
The biggest cuts in August
came in the Defense Department,
which dropped 15,949 employees.
More moderate cuts were re-
ported generally through the
Federal service. Senator Byrd
added, however, that these were
offset partly by an increase of
1928 in the Veterans Admins
tration and 278 in the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
OF the net decline Of 24,302
in August, all but 1872 were jobs
in the United States.
For the first time, the joint
committee started counting more
than 5000 overseas jobs filled by
foreign nationals. Under a
change in accounting practices,
the Government has started list
ing these employees who have
been paid from foreign cur
rencies or credits which the
United States acquired throught
foreign aid.
Foreigners UnrepOrted.
There is q vast number of
foreign nationals working for
United States agencies overseas
still unreported," Senator Byrd
said. Most of these are working
for the Army, Navy and Air
Force. Various reasons are given
by the Department of Defense
for not including these employees
in personnel reports to date.
"This employment Of foreign
nationals by Defense Department
agencies will be the subject OF a
subsequent report by the Joint
Committee on Reduction OF
on-essential Expenditures"

Professor Quits in Protest
In Custer Of Dr.. Sfoddard
BY the Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, H., July %
A University of Illinois professor
resigned yesterday and called his
action "a matter of public pro-
test against the dismissal" of
DR.. George D. Stoddard, the
schools president.
Robert Bierstedt, an associate
professor of sociology, said in a
letter of resignation to Acting
President Lloyd Morey, The
people of Illinois have lost an
opportunity to maintain a first
rate university"
DR.. Stoddard, president of
Illinois since 1916, resigned last
Friday after university trustees
took a vote of no confidence in
his administration.
Mr.. Bierstedt earlier had been
granted a leave of absence with
out pay, effective in September
to accept a position as head of
the sociology department of New
York University. He had not
resigned, however.
In his letter, Mr.. BierStedt said
his resignation required mo
courage on my part since I had
planned to resign anyway during
the coming academic year."
