the field, she frequently speaks

Since she first began to grow
herbs, she has found they are more
satisfactory in a smaller plot and
closer to the house than her Origi-
nal garden.
Il found that to make the best
use Of herbs they should be readily
available and that very little space
is needed to grow an ample
amount" Mrs. Irish says.
A single plant is enough for nor

a little at a time-too much gives
a bitter favor.

One summertime way is in a

ployes have lost their jobs and
thousands more face dismissal
II the policy continues undated.
The AFL Government EN-
ployes Council, representing
more than 100000 Federal work
ers, has attacked this policy and
has appealed to Congress to
bring pressure on the admini-
stration to modify it.
1.-THE entire policy is being
predicated without regard to In
creased cost to the taxpayer.
national security, and the the
Governments moral obligation
to Federal employees, who have
devoted years Of their life in
the service Of the Federal Gov
ernment." the Gee said.
COSTLY-The Gee declared:
'This will have the end result
Of increasing the cost to the tax
payer for all services and func-
tons performed by private in
dustry, because the Government.
upon termination of Govern
ment functions, will not have the
means to gauge the propriety
Of private industry cost bids.
Elm addition. the Government
will be forced to accept private
industry's standards for the
quality of the end product and
services received, and the Gov
eminent would also further be
forced to accept private industry
standards Of improved tech
niques, engineering and techno-
logical progress. Inasmuch as
these will be geared to a great
degree to the civilian consumers
acceptance, our national defense
and the lives of service person.
mel could be seriously leopard
lied by inadequate or arrested
quality, production, development
and research standards.
1.-THE present policy has dis
played total disregard for the
moral obligation the Govern
ment has to provide jobs and
economic security to hundreds
of thousands of faithful and
loyal civil servants who have
devoted their lives to Govern
ment service. The policy has
further disregarded the adverse
and social economic impact upon
communities and States in
which these Government func-
tons are privately located. There
is no guarantee that upon ter
mination these Government jobs
and functions will develop into
similar private industry positions
within the same locality or State
boundaries. There Is also q lack
of proper evaluation OF the vast
sum of taxpayers monies which
have been invested In equip
ment, facilities and the training
of highly skilled operating per-
sonnet"
The Gee also declared that
national security is threatened
when Defense Department work
is performed in private industry
plants. It referred to recent
congressional reports of sub
version and espionage in private
industry defense plants. The
council added that: Federal
employees provide a, nucleus Of

loyal and trustworthy civilian
servants. They cannot strike.
nor do they seek the right to
strike against the Government:
therefore. there is no danger Of
production delays caused by diff
ferences between employees and
management"
The Gee concluded: '@The sum
and substance of the policy
would be to cause the terrific up
heaval OF the economic status OF
Federal employees and their fam
lilies. the dissipation and dislo-
cation Of industrial 'know-how.
and industries. The policy would
further spell the economic death
of scores of supporting busi-
nesses and services Of local COM
munities throughout the Nation. !"
ACTIVITIES TERMINATED
Here are some of the Federal &C
Invites which the Gee declared
have been terminated under the
administrations policy. The
Gee said this is only a partial
list and that many other Federal
activities have been transferred
to private industry.

niture for naval vessels.

George Meany. AFL president,
recited q pledge made in 1916

Gompers when President Wilson
helped dedicate the present ALL

Of our country to see to 1t
that we are kept out of actual
war with any nation"
II repeat that pledge today"
