Hoover Urges
System Change
Washington, March 8 W)
Former President Herbert Hoov
er today urged "a vast and en
ergetic reform" in the govern
ment's bookkeeping system..
Hoover headed President Tru
man's bi-partisan commission
on reorganization of govern
ment departments. He was
called to testify (10 a.m., EST)
before the senate executives ex
penditures committee on a bill
to overhaul accounting proced
ures and establish a new office
of accountant general in the
treasury department.
"There is a host of evidence
that the (present) accounting
system is inefficient and waste
ful, fails to establish proper re
sponsibility of officials and is
unable to present the full pic
ture to congress," Hoover said
in a prepared statement.
He said there was no differ
ence of opinion within the com
mission or among administration
officials that reform is needed.
He added, however, that there
. are differences as to the method
of remedy.
The general accounting office,
headed by the comptroller gen
eral, now serves as the congres
sional watchdog on government
spending. The pending bill
would curtail its activities and
cut its staff.
A general accounting officer
yesterday accused the Citizens
Committee for the Hoover Re
port of "abysmal ignorance
about the government's account
ing system.
Reds in Italy Urge
Land Grabs for Jobless
Rome, March 8 (U.R) Hundrsds
of communist agitators urged
landless peasants and unemploy
ed farmhands to stage new
grabs of private land throughout
Italy today.
"Take the land it is yours
by natural right," the commu
nists urged.
But in Cantanzaro in the Cal
abria region, where more than
88,000 acres of uncultivated
land had been seized during the
past week, the squatters and
landowners reached an agree
ment which apparently headed
off fresh trouble.
The agreement provided for
the employment of at least one
laborer for each seven acres of
farming land and one farm
hand for each 20 acres of wood
land for at least 24 days a year.
It also required landowners to
pay wages for work the farm
hands claimed they already had
done.

cousin of President Truman,
is going to run for congress.
He says "Cousin Harry has
been kidnapped by leftwing
ers ... when elected I shall
utilize all my efforts .to res
cue the president from his ab
ductors." Truman Is a demo
crat, but will seek nomination
by both major parties. The
White House said the president
is doubtful of the relationship.

Russians Seizing
Swedish Fish Ships
Stockholm, Sweden, March 8
VP) Sweden accused Russia to
day of seizing Swedish fishing
ships in the Baltic far beyond
warranted limits of territorial
waters, and said Stockholm took
an "extremely serious view" of
the incidents.
Swedish Foreign Minister Oes-
ten Unden made the statement
amid mounting demands by Swe
dish fishermen for naval escorts
to prevent such seizures.
The captains of the Swedish
trawlers Marion and Larex told
reporters today they had been
boarded by a Soviet minesweep
er some 30 nautical miles out
side Russian-held territory. They
said they had been forced at
pistol point to take their ships
to a Russian harbor and been
questioned day and night for
two weeks concerning the pos
sibility of their having been spy
ing. Six golfers have won the U.S.
Open championship in their first
try.
