TERMS: CASH Not responsible for accidents Aucts. Col. Buck Carroll Clerks: Dean Allen, Nixon Will Trim Burgeoning White House Staff for Economy CAMP DAVID, Md. AP President move to slash the White House staff is spurred by little-noticed statistics showing that executive-office employment has doubled in his first term. Nixon himself acknowledged last week that the House staff has grown rather like He promised that as he shakes up the bureaucracy and trims personnel biggest cuts will be made in the White House staff The President gave no figures on White House employment or on the size of the proposed cutback.

Neither would White House spokesmen. But an examination of monthly reports published by the Civil Service Commission shows that since Nixon moved into the White House in January 1969 the executive- office staff has increased from 1,748 to 3,562. More than 1,000 of the new employes were added to the executive office rolls during a 12-month period when federal agencies faced a presidentially ordered 5-per-cent cutback. The sharp upswing in executive-office employment also bucked the government- wide trend. When Nixon came into office, there were 2,948,393 federal civilian employes, nearly 200,000 more than now.

The columns of fine print in the monthly personnel reports include the more than 600 employes of the White House office-the aides and advisers closest to the President-as well as staffers in a variety of offices, councils, and com- Hatlp mentri Jforum Servir i SECOND FRONT PAGE missions grouped under the heading executive office of the White House officials and the statistics that a portion of the increase can be attributed to new functions taken on by the executive office. These include, for example, the Cost of Living Council set up to police wage-price controls. At last report, the council has grown from 0 to 966 ployes in less than a year. Officials also cited a change in bookkeeping methods as a reason for the upswing in employment statistics. Untik 1970, they said, presidents had obscured the size of their personal staffs by having salaries paid through other agencies or through the White House fund.

Nixon ordered that all his White House employes be listed as such, one spokesman said, the interest of candor and Thus, the reported size of the elite White House office staff jumped suddenly from about 250 to about 500. At last report it had grown to 606. Major increases occurred elsewhere in the executive offices unrelated to any change in bookkeeping methods. Kenry National Security Council lists 80 ployes, about double the size of the pre-Kissinger staff. John Domestic Council staff has grown from 25 employes in late 1971 to 50 but still is smaller than other lesser known executive offices.

For example, the Office of Telecommunications Policy lists 68 employes, the Office of Science and Technology reports 79, the Council on Environmental Quality 68, and the Council of Economic Advisers, 58. The Office of Management and Budget, which has assumed a broader watchdog role over government spending and employment, has seen its own payroll go up from 535 early in administration to 689 at last report. The latest figure of 3,563 executive-office employes does not include 2,300 persons employed by the poverty- fighting Office of Economic Opportunity, which, in some government publications, is listed under the executive office. If OEO employes are included, executive-office employment reaches about 5,800, or 1,000 more than the comparable figure when Nixon took office and initiated policies and proposals that have resulted in slimmed-down OEO operations. While the President has not specified precisely where White House personnel cuts will be made, he has said they will be substantial.

Talking on Nov. 27 to reporters, Nixon said: felt from the beginning that it was important that the White House establish the example for the balance of government in terms of cutting down on personnel, doing a better job with fewer people. while there will be personnel cuts across the government, throughout the departments, the biggest cuts will be made in the White House staff When Franklin D. Rosevelt began his third term nearly three decades ago, records show the White House office staff numbered 51. When Harry Truman was midway through his term the staff numbered 243 and there were 1,100 other employes in executive offices.

The total inched upward during Dwight years in the White House.
