This, of course, is the exact op-
posite of what is supposed to be-
It's Congress which is supposed
to control the purse strings. It's
Congress which is supposed to
tell the executive department
how much it can spend. And that
is exactly what this Congress
must do. 1t must make a careful
estimate of income after allow
ing for the end of the excess
profits tax and the tax reduction
in the bill introduced by Con-
gresham Dan Reed, Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee,
to reduce personal income taxes,
then add up what's left and say
to the executive department,
This is all there is for you to
spend; there amt no more"
By doing this, Congress would
force the various departments,
bureaus and agencies of the fed
eral government to cut down to
size and an awful lot of bureau
Gratis will actually have to get
busy and do an honest days work.
What novelty that would be for
most of them!
At the same time, Congress
will have to revise the social
security set-up so as to get rid
Of literally thousands Of excess
federal pay-rollers which Truman
blanketed into civil service.
Mrs. Hobby, Administrator of
1.-The Federal Security Agency, re-
Gently said that with thirty-five
thousand on the payroll in her
department the only person she
can hire or fire is her personal
assistant. All of the others Wheth-
er needed or not are secure in
their jobs protected by social
security. This is one of the main
reasons why there are more than
two and one-half million people
on the civilian payroll of our fed
eral government.
If the social security laws can
not be revised fast enough to
handle this situation this year
then / don't believe there is any
thing to prevent Congress from
putting an employment ceiling on
each department as part Of the
appropriations for that depart
ment and directing that only x
number of dollars may be used
for payroll. AS my father used to
say, There are always more

shoot the hell out Of them and if
they fire on our planes from their
own territory we should shoot
back"
AS a result the United States
has ordered its fliers to shoot
back when fired upon. Washing
ton naturally is worried because
a few more of these incidents,
shooting by both sides, could set
off another World War.
Another big move to cut eX-
penditures was the Eisenhower
administrations order that the
armed services reduce their civil
liam payrolls by 39,346 employees
by the end of May.
According to the Defense De-
partment the number of civilians
employed by the armed forces
at present is slightly more than
1,327,000.
Under the new program the
Army's payroll will be cut from
536,917 to $4,000; the Navy's
from 474,662 to 100000; and the
Air Forces from 3l5,967 to
100000.
sDeclining farm prices are now
having the expected reaction in
other fields, although many peo-
pie are not aware of it at the mo-
ment The farmers have taken a
big tuck in their purse strings
and are not buying tractors, feed,
fencing, fertilizer and other agri-
cultural necessities at the same
rate as last summer. In fact, sales
of most of these items have been
off since last fall.
One of the nations largest
farm machinery makers reports
that sales are off by about 10
per cent. Others in the field also
report declines.
AS this is being written, steers,
choice grade are selling at $24.50
a hundred in Chicago against
1925 year ago. Grain prices
have tumbled even with govern
ment price supports. This is the
obvious reason for the penny
pinching now being practiced by
the American farmer. And it is
expected to continue for the time
being.
