One of the great difficulties
about this animal we call the

mentS never treat all segments
of our economy on the basis of
equality. Big labor gets a wage
jump and the small business man
suffers. Steel prices go up, but
the farm machinery buyer faces
increased costs with lessening
income.
Possibly the present agricul-

ever increasing price and wage

take without borrowing from

a passing thought as we again

The Reds have clearly changed
their attitude as they go about
wooing us with sweet words and
smiles instead Of attempting to
drag us into their cave by our
hair. However, there are indeed
grave differences between a
change of mind and change of
heart.
misunderstanding?
Rightly or wrongly, misunder-
standing China has long been a
favorite feeling of guilt in the
American public mind. Using
this mechanism, Red China pro-
pagandists try to reap large re-
turns on small investments. The
latest example is the return of
a few more American prisoners
men who were detained after
the Korean War prisoner ex-
change agreement without the
slightest justification under in
ternational law or decency. BY
some flight of fancy this latest
act seems to be taking on a kind
of humanitarianism.
We and the world will GER
tainly be guilty of a gross mis-
understanding of Red China if
we allow ourselves to forget that
these and other American pris-
oners were kidnapped, tortured,
brainwashed and, in many cases,
allowed to die of starvation and
mistreatment. When we Judge
what China's Red masters do or
do not do today, let us remember
this and the official savagery it
represents.

personnel management policies
in all Federal agencies and de-
partments.
Investigation by a similar sub
committee in the previous ses-
sion of Congress brought forth
recommendations which resulted
in savings of nearly a billion
dollars per year. One part of this
study demonstrated the need to
eliminate dual supervision in the
Department of Defense. AS a
result, more than 212,800 civilian
positions were either eliminated
entirely or used for more pro-
ductive purposes in the Depart
ments of the Army, Air Force,
and Navy.
The direct benefits of the pre-
vious studies not only resulted
in the elimination of unneces-
sary positions, but the carry
ing out of many important func-
tions without hiring additional
employees. For example, the
Department of the Air Force
reduced its personnel contingent
by some $1,000 positions while at
the same time it was able to in
crease the number of combat
wings in operation through the
better use of its manpower.

the utilization of manpower in
