"Beyond this, the common

Appropriations Committee
men Say Number Fed
eral Employes Increasing
Washington, Dec. 7. (IP)
Two Republicans and a Demo
crat on the house appropria
tions committee said today that
President Roosevelt's reorgank
ation of the government was
increasing, rather than decreas
ing, federal expenditures.
They told newsmen budget
bureau estimates for the next
fiscal year indicated that gov
ernment personnel would be
increased considerably. ' ' 1
Rep. Dirksen (R.-Ill.) said
that, not counting defense re
quirements, the federal payroll
had been increased by 11,80?
from May to December. He re
ported 40,056 persons were add
ed because of the defense pro
gram. "When the roll is called down
yonder at the treasury depart
ment pay office, it seems to
get bigger and bigger," Dirk
sen declared. "Two or three
more reorganization plans and
we'll soon have a million per
sons on the civil payroll."
A high-ranking Democrat on
the committee, who declined to
be quoted by name, said that
the new federal security agency
had "a great many more" em
ployes than the total of sep
arate agencies from which it
was formed.
Washington, Dec. 7. (IP)
The treasury disclosed today
it had spent more than $4,000,
000,000 in five months and a
few odd days.
Making public treasury fig
ures for December 4, the treas
ury said that since the fiscal
year began on July 1, expendi
tures amounted to 84,006,334,
782, and revenues $2,253,045,
181. This made a deficit of $1,
753,289,601, and established the
prospect that it would be dou
bled before the end of the fis
cal year.
FINN LEGATION PLANS
Moscow, Dec. 7. (IP) The
Finnish legation staff, virtually
isolated since hostilities began
last Thursday, is planning to
leave Moscow tonight for Riga
and Berlin en route to Stock
holm, Finnish sources said to
day. Since establishment of the
communist government at Terl
Joki, on the Karelian isthmus,
the Soviet government has re
fused to recognize the legation
and efforts of the Swedish min
ister to act as intermediary for
the Helsinki government have
been futile.

Five German Submersibles
Sunk This Week Claim
Mine Use Is Discounted.
London, Dec. 7. (IP) Win
ston Churchill, first lord of tilt
admiralty, announced in the
house of commons today that
five German submarines had
been sunk by the French and
British navies this week and
that the rate of destruction sur
passed Germany's capacity to
replace her losses.
Churchill said the Allied
drive against German subma
rines was destroying from two
to four weekly, which rate is
superior to what we believe to
be the German power of re
placing U-boats."
More than 1,000 British mer
chant ships have been armed
for defense, and there will be
2,000 soon, he added.
Germany's magnetic mines ac
counted for more than half the
British sea losses within tne
past month, Churchill declared.

He added that magnetic mines
were neither new nor mysteri
ous and preparations for counter
measurse already were far ad
vanced before the first magnetic
mine was sown In British
waters.
Building Fast.
Churchill said British naval
losses for the first three months
of the war totaled 50,000 tons,
and "we have at present build
ing much of it In an advanced
stage nearly a million tons of
warships of all classes."
German attacks on neutral
shipping, the first lord continu
ed, "should encourage neutrals
to charter their ships to Brit
ain for the duration of the war."
The magnetic mine, Churchill
asserted, may be "Hitler's much
vaunted secret weapon. It cer
tainly is a characteristic weap
on and one that no doubt will
be ever associated with his
name."
Churchill compared the Gor
man use of torpedoes with the
"warfare of the Irish republican
army in leaving bombs in the
parcel office at railway stations."
