I'd like to grow a vegetable
To answer every need;
A many-purpose vegetable
AS hardy as weed.
I'd cook the leaves like spinach
And shell the pods like peas,
Make jelly of the flowers
And slice the stalks like cheese.
! hope to find it some day.
Till then / have a bunch
I'd better put the kettle on
And cook some beans for lunch.

Hoover Declares
Commission Could
Save U. 5. S Billion

Former President Herbert
Hoover told the National Press
Club today that If the Commits
sion on Reorganization of the
Executive Branch of the Gov
eminent could get Congress- CO.
operation it could save between
SIS billion and 81 billion a year
without injury to the necessary
functions of Government"
This sum, he said, would rep
resent "15 per cent or 20 per
cent of the personal income tax"
Mr.. Hoover remarked, how
ever. that some 200 pressure
groups which fight for more
spending and against reduction
would have to take a holiday
for two years" if this were to be
done.
He said the Commission,
which he heads under appoint
ment from President Eisenhower
is still studying the major re-
organization problems facing the
Government.
Cali Of the task forces" he
said, ARE now in the midst of
their inquiries and no horrid ex-
amples are ready for publication
and no final recommendations
have as yet been put on paper.
However. we are learning a lot. I"
Mr.. Hoover said one of the
main problems under study is
the Civil Service. It's principles
of competitive examination and
promotion based on merit, he
said. have been badly messed
up"
In the 20 years from 1882 to
1852, he said, Congress passed
u laws exempting segments of
the civil service from passing
"the merit gate"
How many got in without a
pass do not know accurately,
but the latest estimate I have
heard is that the percentage who
had passed through the merit
gate had decreased from over 80
per cent to about so per cent
You have heard that term 'blan-
keting in That term also con-
notes to cover up"

More Public Housing
Urged by Maybank;; /.
Bank Group Critical

Senator Maybank, Democrat.
OF South Carolina thinks Con-
gress should re-enact a public
housing program which would
authorize up to $4,000 new units
a year. but the American Bank
ers' Association says continual
ton of public housing could pro-
vide more homes than the coun-
try needs.
Senator Maybank proposed an
amendment to the administra-
TONS housing bill at the start
of hearings before the Senate
Banking Committee yesterday. .
Sees Injustice Done.
He said the American people
had been done "a gross injus-
tice" by House Appropriations
Committee action last year al
lowing money for 10000 units Of
public housing for the fiscal year
ending June 80 but at the same
time attaching a proviso which,
the Senator said, forbids any
continuation of the program for
the next fiscal year.
John A. Reilly, president Of
the Second National Bank of
Washington. speaking for the
Bankers Association, told the
committee the Administrations
plan to continue home building
at present levels could result
in a program beyond that
necessary to satisfy a real need
for homes or of the available
credit"
Fears "Overstimulation."
Mr.. Reilly said private in
vestors can supply needed build
ing funds. The Government, he
said. could "overstimulate build
ing, leading to overproduction
of residential units" if it sup
ports the mortgage market.
President Eisenhower's hous-
ing proposals included a request
for $4,000 units for each of the
next four years. But the bill
Incorporating the overall hous-
ing proposals makes no mention
of this portion of the program.
It was introduced last month by
Senator Capehart. Republican,
of Indiana and Representative
Wolcott. Republican, of Mich
igan, chairmen of the Senate
and House Banking Committees.
