Byrd Calls lor
Payroll Cut
Washington, May 20 W Sen
ator Byrd (D., Va.), pleading
anew for economy, today called
on the Truman administration to
lop 800,000 employes off the fed
eral payroll.
The Virginia lawmaker made
his appeal as the senate got rea
dy to vote on a fresh proposal
to trim an appropriation bill 5
percent. Previous attempts by
an economy group to cut two
other money bills by the same
percentage have failed.
Senator Ferguson (R.. Mich.)
offered the reduction amendment
to the measure carrying nearly
$1,465,000,000 in cash and loan
authority for the agriculture de
partment. The proposed 5 per
cent cut would apply to the
$723,000,000 cash item in the
bill. He said his amendment
would save about $36,000,000.
Byrd's call for a sharp slash
in the number of civilian em
ployes in the executive branch
of the government was in a state
ment accompanying the regular
monthly report of the joint com
mittee on reduction of non-essen
tlal federal expenditures. Byrd
is chairman.
"At average civilian pay of
more than $3000 a year, every
day we are adding more than
$750,000 to the annual federal
payroll," Byrd said. He added:
"It appears that the bureau
cracy is out of the control with
respect to personnel, and dras
tic action is necessary."
Salem Group at
Rotary Meeting
A number of Salem folk who
were in Spokane early tnis
week attending the Joint confer
ence of Rotary districts 102 and
103 have returned to their
homes well pleased with the
hospitality of the Inland Em
pire capital. Approximately 1,
200 persons from Oregon, south
west Washington, eastern Wash
ington and eastern British Co
lumbia attended the conference.
The group nominated Charlie
Cooley of Grants Pass for the
governorship of district 102.
Decision was reached to hold
the district assembly at Ashland
in mid-July while the group
will go along with the sugges
tion of Rotary International that
District 102 be changed to 154.
The change is necessary because
of the growth of the organization.

were Harry Johnson, president
of the local club; Lou Arens,
president elect; Robert Fenlx,
secretary; W. H. Baillie, former
president; Mr. and Mrs. Homer
Smith, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Ivan
