WINGS & WHEELS
BY CHARLES YARBRoUeH

The slow burn which devel-
oped among domestic airlines
when the White House handed
kim Royal Dutch Airlines ad-
ditional State-side landing rights
turned into a white-hot sizzle
last week.
In the works at the Securities
and Exchange Commission Is a
request from KIM TO register
40O.630 common shares Of stock
and a proposal to offer $50, 900
more for public sale through an
underwriting group headed by
Smith, Barney & Co., and the
First Boston Corp.
From the minute, Royal Dutch
received approval to land at
Houston on its Amsterdam
Montreal-Mexico City route and
to fly from Curacao to New
York either directly or through
Miami, the Air Transport Asso-
citation protested.
In New Orleans late last week.
Stuart G. Upton, president of
the Alta. said the State Depart
ment appears to consider Amer
ican-flag aviation as a sort of
secondary thing, to be given
away as a casual concession to
other countries or be surren-
dered as pawn in the game of
international politics."
He saw the newest concession
to KIM as a threat to American
leadership in the field of inter-
national air transportation.
The Alta says the new routes
are worth about 81 million a
year in passenger and freight
traffic.
Royal Dutch is about 80 per
cent government-owned, but in
Its expansion program, more
dollars are needed.
Meantime, the line announced
that it transported more ex-
port freight eastward across the
Atlantic in the first quarter of
this year than any other carrier.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Going back over the past 60
years the bureau finds that
Government has been growing
faster in our country than any
other segment of the economy.
Between 1891 and 1850, the work.
ing force in our country rose l25
per cent: Government employ
ment jumped almost 500 per cent.
In 1900. one worker out of Is
was employed by Federal, state
or local Government. Today. the
ratio is one out of eight.
Excluding defense, Govern
ment employment is four and
one-half times as large as 1t was
a half-century ago.
Big Future
And now what about the
future?
The trend toward bigger and
bigger Government payrolls is
clear and powerful.
At the end of January 1853.
Just after President Eisenhower
took over. the total on executive
branch payrolls was 1855, $50.
BY September 1854 the total
had been cut a quarter-million
to 2,329,l81.
AS OF five weeks ago, according
Senator Byrd's estimates, the
figure was back to 1890, 507.
And department after depart
ment--running the range from
Agriculture to the Weather
Bureau. from State to the Bureau
OF Public Roads-is seeking new
employees.
The Budget Bureau itself
estimates Federal civilian en-
ployment will rise another $4,000
by June 1858.
More in resignation than In
fury. the FIRST National City
Bank applied Parkinson's Law To
our country. II really is a shame
Senator Byrd didn't use this on
April Fools Day, for this is what
the bank found:
II the trends Of the past rs
years are projected into the
future, by the year 2069, we will
all be working for the Govern
ment.

'Porkinson's Law

II was on April Fools Day that
Senator Byrd, Democrat of Vir-
ginia. arose in wrath to reveal
that the Governments civilian
payroll has risen to 81 billion a
month, an all-time high.
Considering the day he chose
for his announcement, it's a pity
Senator Byrd didn't tell the ma
ton about "Parkinson's Law"
Since he didn't-and possibly
the reason he didn't is that he
never heard of it-this column
will do the job for him.
"Parkinson's Law" was invent
ed by the London Economist" a
couple of years ago. 1t was. as
the First National City Bank of
New York recalls in a wondrously
satirical review Of the growth of
government, supposed to be a
scientific" formula for forecast
ing future additions to public
payrolls.
AS such. it was based on two
premises: Officials want to null
tiply subordinates; and these
subordinates make work for each
other.
Proof Is Offered
Parkinson's Law, applied in
England. shows" that regardless
OF the volume Of work to be done.
the number Of government en-
ployes will automatically in
crease at an annual rate Of Sc
percent. AS proof" the Econo-
mist pointed out that between
1914 and 1923, the British Navy
cut the number Of its ships by
two-thirds and the number of its
sailors by one-third. In the same
years, though. the Nays adj
ministrative staff increased by
more than 10 per cent.
Whats so amusing about
this?" ask you, the taxpayer who
feels particularly bruised on this
tax-paying deadline day.
Actually, nothing-for as a re-
cent study Of public payrolls by
the National Bureau of Economic
Research emphasizes, the au-
thors OF Parkinson's Law we're
not being nearly as capricious as
you might think.
