M The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tuei., April 25, 1950 Hoover Commission Report Demands Public Action Now, Speaker Tells Audience Here "A strong display of public interest if needed now 11 the economies of the Hoover commission are to be adopted by congress," declared Mrs. Irene Taylor to a joint meeting of the Roseburg Business and Professional Women's club and the Roseburg Junior Chamber of Com merce at St. George's Episcopal church Monday night Mrs. Taylor, a public relations consultant for Portland Goodwill Industries, made this declaration in presenting a talk on the Hoover report before 25 members of the two groups urging them to act as "the situation is more serious than most people realize." A history of the bipartisan Hoover commission was presented in the opening comments of Mrs. Taylor'a talk. She said that the It's Spring Time fe. pa'"' end wallpaper. Leg stock. Prices right.

Motor RtDoir ALL WORK GUARANTEED r, CHEVROLET OWNERS n commission waa created from the realization by both political parties that the U.S. government is using out-dated and backward business methods in running the world's largest corporation. The Hoover commission, according to Mrs Taylor, was created by the Lodge Brown act in the summer of 1947. It was composed of six members of the Republican party and six members of the Democratic party who spent over two yeara study ing 24 areaa of executive power in an attempt to recommend elim ination of waste and duplication. Bureaus Heavily Increased Some of the findings of the com mission were startling, the Port land public relations woman said. Twenty yeara ago, the government was run by 600,000 workers. To day, according to the Hoover re port, it takes over two million workers to run the government. She explained that such a large staff of workera waa justified in many fields because Americans are demanding more services from their government. But, she added, "It clearly shows the gigantic growth that government haa made in the past 20 years." She stated that the Hoover com mission found that 450 government bureaus were operating 20 years ago and today there are 1816. She added that 65 of these bureaus were as large if not larger than the entire General Motors corporation. She went on to point out that 20 years ago it took four billion dol lars to run the government and to day it requires 42 billion to run he world's largest corporation. Mra. Taylor stated that the Hoover commission waa interested in only one thing cutting down the waste and duplication of this gi gantic corporation's operations and give the shsreholders, its citizens who pay the taxes, a dollar's worth of service for each dollar spent. Economy Advice Listed Mrs. Taylor listed six main points that the Hoover report sug gested to bring economy in gov ernment: 1. Cut down unneeded Inven tory. 2. Unified purchasing and cen tralized storage of supplies. 3. Better personnel manage ment. 4. A uniform and modern sys tem of accounting. 5. Elimination of unnecessary paper work with its resulting red tape. 6. Put the postoffice department on a pay-its-way basis. Many of the Hoover commission recommendations have been car ried out, Mrs. Taylor reported, and at present there are 21 bills before Congress dealing with the commis sion's suggested reorganization. But, she said, much of the needed reform, especially in the postoffice department, is being delayed by Congress for some unknown rea son. Americana must speak now while the country ia in an economy mood, or tomorrow may be too late, concluded Mrs. Taylor.

It THIRD SET OF TEETH DENVER lP An 84-year-old man who ia cutting his third set of teeth said today: "Only way I can explain it is I've chewed tobacco since I was 12.
