Stassen, who had served as Eisenhower's disarmament ad visor, said he would decide next month and that he has con ferred with Republican leaders of several states.

Scranton of Pennsylvania and U.S. Ambas sador lo South Viet Nam Henry Cabot Lodge disclosed recently they too had been asked to run by the former President. One of Several Stassen said the Republican platform should be based on the policies of the Eisenhower ad ministration and some of the principles of Ihe late President John F. Kennedy, such as Ihe partial ban on nuclear tests and the civil rights fight. The GOP, he said, should sponsor modern izing the United Nations and further disarmament in foreign relations and a balanced budget and full employment at home.

It employed 4.659 people dur- ing fiscal 1963 to determine ex actly how the government spent $90 billion or so that it collected from the taxpayers that year. The GAO turned out hundreds of reports and audits on hun dreds of activities and forward ed them to Congress and the agencies involved. The $247.5 million in savings described in its report was made up of "refunds, collec tions, measurable savings,' and other financial benefits result ing from the work of the GAO." Actual refunds totaled $29.1 mil lion, according to the agency. Thc GAO's biggest concern was the Defense Department. This is by far the biggest fed eral agency, spending mors than half of Ihe entire budget. Among some of the GAO find ings and subsequent savings noted in Ihe report: The Army and Air Force were spending about $66 million a year more than they should on repair and maintenance of non-combat vehicles because of practices lhat were "wasteful and inefficient." Over a four year perior the services lost at least $18 million in unrecoverable overpayment to military men. The Army could have saved as much as $5.7 million in con tracts on the Redstone and Ju piter missiles had it bought cer tain parts directly from a man ufacturer and supplied them to the contractor rather than have the contractor sub-contracl for the components.
