White House called Herbert Hoover
away from a fishing vacation last
summer to draft him lor a hard
exacting job, the former President
Is reliably reported to have voiced
some feelings of unQuakerllke
exasperation.
At 79, he thought he was en
titled to a little rest.
With wry resignation he took the
job, however beading a commis
sion on government reorganization
to carry forward the revamping
started by the old Hoover Com
mission of 19474949.
The commission held Its first

is directing that work at a pace
which could tire a man 40 yean
younger.
"He almost never seems to rest,"
one of Hoover s associates said,
"He spends three or four days a
week in Washington, and even
when he goes back to New York
he's still on the job at breakfast,
at lunch, at dinner, in the evening,
on weekends.
Hoover has taken on the job of
personally picking experts for the
eight task forces which have been
set up to advise the commission
on problems ranging from surplus
property to the cost of laundering
sheets in government hospitals.
"He's determined," says a staff
member, "to get the best quali
fied expert in the country on every
subjet. Because of his wide range
ot contacts, and his powr of per
suasion, he usually gets his man
too people who normally wouldn't
dream of going to work for the
government.
A staff of 39 full-time employes,
along with 140 part-time consul-
tants, has been assembled. Most
of the task forces already have
started gatnenng data.

State Highway Department truck,
equipped with snowblades, at Jor
dan Valley and headed toward Sil
ver City, Idaho. A short time later,
he said, they were reported to
have taken a carryall.
Idaho got into the chase when
Oregon police radioed that they
were headed into this state in an
old model car. Hunt radioed State
Policeman Dan Kelly who set up
a roadblock near Marsing. with
the help of Canyon County sher

Oregon police captured one of
them at the roadblock, according
to radio reports from the scene,
but the other escaped.
New Acreage Quotas
Reduce Wheat Crops
CORVAIX1S Ifl New acreage
allotments and market quotas may
result in 10 million dollar drop
In returns to Oregon grain grow
ers, M. D. Thomas reported .Mon
day. Thomas, Oregon State College
farm economist, said the allot
ments and quotas would reduce the
Wheat crop.
Farmers, therefore, may turn to
barley But barley, being more
Elentiful, will sell at lower prices,
said.
Livestock and poultry producers,
heavy grain users, probably will
benefit from this situation, Thomas
said.

Dirksen Fears Reprisals
For Alien Confiscation
WASHINGTON Ufi -Sen. Dirksen
(R-lll) says continuance of a U. S.
confiscatory policy toward alien
assets might find other govern
ments seizing billions in American
held property abroad.
Dirksen is chairman of a judi
ciary subcommittee which has
completed a lengthy study of the
trading with the enemy act, under
which alien property in this coun
try was seized during time of war.
He made his comments in a fore
word to the subcommittee's report,
made public Sunday.
Noting that the office of alien
property will continue to operate
for years to come, Dirksen said
the trading with the enemy act
"may operate to destroy the effects
of a foreign policy designed to build
year's harness race meeting at
Hollywood Park.
a strong Western Germany and
Japan as bulwarks against further
Communist aggression."
Dirksen said the present policy
of the U. S. government is to
encourage the investment of pri
vate funds in countries all over the
world.
"A continuonce of confiscatory
policy with regard ot alien assets
in this country," Dirksen said,
"might well find the United States
faced squarely with the confisca
tion of billions of property of its
own nationals by foreign govern
ments and a precedence for such
drastic measures set by our own
example."
