I Thursday, November 21, 1946 Eight THE ADA WEEKLY NEWS Cutback Ordered For U. Payroll Must Be Down 144,833 By End Of Year WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (AP)A new ceiling of no more than 2,146,742 employes after New Year's day which is 144,833 fewer than they're allowed nowwas clamped today on federal executive departments and agencies. Budget Director James E. Webb set it for the three months beginning Jan.

1, will see the opening of a congress controlled by republicans who are clamoring for sharper cuts. Webb's announcement of the 144,833 cutback in personnel allowances was tempered by assurance that involuntary dismissals "are not likely to be as drastic" as the figure indicates. The reason, officials explained, is that the agencies already are operating well under the current ceiling of 2,291,575 employes. Hence they won't have to fire a full 144,833 to get under the January 1 ceiling. Voluntary resignations also will help meet the reduction requirement.

The discharges will probably fall heaviest, officials said, on the "white collar" group who make up about a fourth of the government's total employes. Webb set a Jan. 1 ceiling of 455.113 for this group, which is 28,648 under the present ceiling and 46,658 under the top limit set by the last congress when it directed reductions be made. Purpose of the reductions in this group is to absorb part of the cost of a $321,000,000 a year pay hike given them last July 1. Spain Is to Try Again for Oil American- Made Rig to Be Used; Spain Has to Import All Motor Fuels Now MADRID, Nov.

with American drilling machinery, a new oil exploration program is scheduled to get underway soon in Spain, now completely dependent upon imports for all classes of motor fuels and petroleum products. An American-made rig has reached Spain and it is expected the first test hole will be sunk around Lerida, about 75 miles west of Barcelona, Spain's industrial metropolis on the Mediterranean. Plans call for test drills around 5,500 feet, almost twice the depth of previous "wildcats" sunk in the country. The new hunt for oil will be made by the Compania Espanola De Petroleos Scientificas Investigators, Sa, which is known as Cepsisa. Spain is territory in the hunt for oil, virgin in that to date explorations have failed to yield any proven oil sands.

While the program might be considered "peanuts" in its scope by United States standards, it is of top importance in Spain where every phase of industrial life must be conditioned upon the high cost of imported gasoline, fuel oil and various petroleum products essential to industry and transportation. Spain spends approximately $15,000,000 annually foreign exchange for needed gasoline, fuel oil and various petroleum by-products.

Assistant Administrator, Valley View Hospital ley View hospital. Four Major Handicaps The above subject has been discussed many, many times and and over a period of several years, at conventions, meetings and round table discussions by hospital administrators from all over the 48 states and Canada. These administrators who are in charge of these hospitals are laymen, doctors, nurses and persons trained in the hospital field who are familiar with their hospital needs and the cost of them. Hospital personnel never has a holiday. Some say their cost per patient per day would amount to about $9.47 for each patient depending upon the location of their hospital-meaning just this; that in some places costs are either higher or lower and food, linens, laundry, gas, others, lights, water, nursing care, hospital dressings are all included in these costs per patient per day.

Of course, any hospital has to have these items mentioned in to take into their hospital order, patient under any circumstances for a full day of hospitalization.

The facts presented, he warned at the first, would be unpleasant, because they involve threats to the American way of life through one group which expects the government to proeverything and another which is industrious in business but can't find time to take an interest in government.

Then he to reasons for optimism, that an increaspointed, ing number of people are joining hands to save the government as we know it. The council, he explained, is a home-grown, home-controlled organization, its leaders, representing all sections interests; it seeks to preserve and perpetuate a form of government which recognizes the dignity of man, and to secure for all taxpayers, large and small, somewhere near 100 cents worth of service for exery tax dollar It operates by digging out the facts on spending of public funds, making them available to the general public, stimulating keener interest in affairst of government, cooperation with public officials in improving services or reductions cost. An example two years ago a committee from the Arkansas council met with Ben Laney, heard his plans, offered recommendations, agreed to work together. The result was: Five major legislative reforms enacted; 98 separate ear-marked funds were combined, into one general fund from the money is allocated on basis of need; 19 state agencies and boards were consolidated into three; 500 jobs were lopped from an overloaded state Continued deficit spending by congress must end everyone's property and other holdings are involved. Salvation in this rests with congress.

Kerr has gone on record as saying he thinks the republicans may have bitten off more than they can chew by gaining control of congress Nov. 5 but Senator Elmer Thomas (D-Okla.) thinks the GOP is getting a "mighty lucky break." "We should have no serious farm problems or legislation in the immediate future for the simple reason that this country and the rest of the world are anxious to buy just about everything that the American farmer can produce," Thomas told a reporter yesterday, forecasting a period of farm prosperity.

The Oklahoma senator said he got some eye- witness information on the needs of other nations for American foods and goods when he visited several countries while he was a delegate at the world food conference in Europe. "I saw no chickens, turkeys, ducks or other fowl in he said. "They had even eaten most of the horses and cattle.
