Darke 109-3 Phones 109-M CONGRESS HITS — AT GOVERNMENT MAN HOARDING By RALPH H. TAYLOR y, With all the heroic measures which are being proposed by Washingion ofifcials to deal with the manpower problem—many of them palpably impractical and unworkable} and some of them as dangerous as . the problem they seek to relieve—it high time that congress “tackled the job in earnest of trimming the sails of our swollen bureaucracy and ridding federal payrolls-of hundreds of thousands of thumb-twiddlers and supernumaries who ought to be work ing in production or fighting “on the firing line. lis The new congress, forttunately for the welfare of the country, is already probing the hoarding of manpower by the federal government and plain intimations have come from congressional leaders that they will make an all out drive to cut the government’s personnel down to where it belongs if they receive the support of the people back home in the projected house cleaning. How vitally important it is that congress be given the “go ahead”’ signal from the American people, in a fight to prevent this continued waste of manpower is best evidenced by the fact that Senator Harry F. Bryd of Virginia, chairman of the Joint Congressional Economy Committee, has estimated that one third of the present army of 3,000,000 civilian employes on the federal rolls could be released for essential wartime activities without in any way impairing necessary government services. That would mean 1,000,000 more. men and women available for ser-. vice in production and in the armed forces—almost as great an army as. that which we have sent overeas thus! 2 far to take Guadalcanal, to strength-. en Pearl Harbor, to protect Australia. from invasion, to whip Rommel in, North Africa, to help fortify Britain, to hold Iceland and to prepare for the invasion of Europe. Said Senator Byrd, in reporting on the swollen bureaucracy which his} committee uncovered: “In time of peril and war. the goyernment should be an example to its citizens, doing those things essential to our victory and to preservation of our fundamental institutions. But it is now obvious that the administration cannot be depended upon to take’ the necessary measures to streamline our government to save manpower and promote efficiency. “While the task for congress will most dificult, let us remember that congress still has control of the purse. If the demand of the people is sufficiently imperative; and I believe it is, congress can take steps to curb these abuses that are now threatening the security of our nation. “The thumb-twiddlers in our government service should be given some other work to do.”’ Then, Senator Byrd made this un-' qualified declaration regarding the extent of wasted manpower in the federal service: ; “Today the federal government is; the chief offender in the waste and hoarding of manpower in America. Nothing in all history is in any way comparable to the waste and _ inefficiency that now exist in the vast number of bureaus in our government. * “In time of peace, the waste of public funds is to be condemned severely, but in time of war the waste of manpower by the government in be ae eee ee ee THE POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE +3 (we ~P Feeer neem FINE WATOH REPAIRING Radio Service & Repairing Work Called for and Delivered Clarence R.

REHABILITATION LAW PROPOSED FOR CONVICTS By JOHN W. DUNLAP SACRAMENTO, March 4. — Gov ernor Warren believes there is a pr"allel ‘between . aliens from other countries who are given the adran'ages of citizenship and Americans who go to prison and seek rehavi'itation. The big however, 15 given. the alien to become a citizen but only a' “haphazard’’ procedure to help those difference, their citizenship. S6 the governor is' determined to do something about, At: He asked Senator Charles Denel of Chico to prepare legislation on a new large-scale rehabilitation program to encourage former convicts to go straight and become useful citiz-; ens. Attorney General Robert Kenny' is going to prepare an urgency tlause. to permit the measure, if passed by . the legislature, to go into immediate . effect. Both Warren and Kenny have a! ‘broad background of experience up-. on ‘which to push the new plan. War-! ren was a prostcuting district adage ney for many years, then served as, attorney general and as such, on the advisory pardon board and board of criminal investigation and identifica-. tion. Kenny is a former newspaer-' ‘man, attorney, superior judge, andi now attorney general. From long study, Warren has some! positive ideas on penal matters and! his ‘proposed pardon’ reform is aj good example. He proposes to hive every convict, upon his release from . his sheriff, district attorney or police chief of his intention to work for restoration of his citnzenship, muck as an alien takes out his first citizenship papers. Then the convict would live under judicial supervision for a_ certain length of time before going vefore a superior judge and seeking a certificate of rehabilitation. Issuance would send a recommendation to the governor for a pardon, which Warren said he personally would be glad to grant. There would be no fees permitted and ‘“‘any man, even though he did not have a friend or a dollar, would receive his citizenship if he had the will to live the right way’’, Warren said. Another thing that Warren disapproves is last minute reprieves for upon a full investigation of each case se that all doubt is removed before] the man goes to the death chamber. He said a man taken to the gas chamber two or three times before he is executed suffers unnecessary and in humane agony. Supervisors Grant Aid To Truckee Sanitary Dist. Recognizing that heavy rains this season had aggravated a bad situation in the Truckee, Sanitary District, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors at its monthly meeting. appropriated $1,300 for improvements in the system.

They buy up commodities that are reported scarce. : Tosteal America’s food, squander' America’s rubber, hoard, waste, ‘get by” _these are ways they put pleasure and profit ahead of war. Such character would probably get mad if you called them “‘traitor.’’ They may even consider themselves loyal American citizens. Whose war do you suppose they think this is?
