Payroll Cuts
Economy Move
Washington, Aug. 25 WP)
President Truman today describ
ed military payroll cuts as part
of an economy move' under gov
ernment reorganization.
He told a news conference that
Secretary of Defense Johnson
ordered dismissal of 135,000
civilian employes under direct
instructions from him.
Mr. Truman added that he
would not be deterred by pro
tests from some members of con
gress from going through with
the curtailment.
With a smile, he said that in
congress it's a solid rule that
economy should be in the other
fellow's district, not in mine.
When he was a senator, he
said, he was always careful to
see that Missouri didn't get
gypped on government projects.
The cut has put some con
gress members in a squeeze.
They have called for economy,
but their constituents are com
plaining bitterly over the cuts.

if he knew about this situation,
or would comment.
The president said that he had
already stated that he had no
comment to make on the senate
inquiry until Vaughan takes the
stand.
He said he would answer
questions after that, but not be
fore. The senate committee's ten
tative schedule of hearings now

'Pen' Backfire
Brings Action
Dallas The "pen" backfired,
and Cecil E. Jayne, Dallas, is
asking $10,000 damages,
It happened this way, accord
ing to Jayne's complaint, filed
in the office of Edna M. Pitzer
county clerk:
Kenneth Blatchley, operator
of a Falls City service station,
was changing a tire for Jayne.
The latter told the operator that
he would write a check for the
job while Blatchley was com
pleting the work. Blatchley
told Jayne to look in the cash
register for a pen. Jayne did so,
pulled out what he believed to
be a mechanical pen and press
ed what he thought was a de
vice to extend the point.
But unfortunately, the "pen"
proved to be a tear gas gun and
Jayne was "shot" in the left
eye. He alleges that the chem
icals from the gun have caused
permanent impairment of his
vision in the eye and seeks $10,
000 damages. He states Blatch
ley was negligent in keeping the
device in a spot where custom
ers would normally go for pens.
