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

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

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

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.
