Less Sweeping Reorganization
Measure Would Get Support
Now that the Reorganization Bill
is out of the way, members feel
that eventually some more simple
bill may be offered in the near
future, perhaps, early in the next
session. A bill which will re
organize the overlapping bureaus
and one which will save money and
which will result in efficiency will
find ready support in both Houses.
Members are now running guess
ing contests as to when this session
will end. The guesses are from
May 15 to June 1. But these are
merely guesses. The House has
caught up with its w'ork and iB
facing the annual question as to
when the Senate will catch up.
Volunteer Fire Man
A Nebraskan who has been visit
ing here for several weeks says he
has the answer to the government
reorganization problem. He tells
friends that he has been around the
hotel lobbys in Washington most
every night and has met a large
number of government employees.
He was told that a lot of em
ployees get from $3500 to $5000 a
year and that they do very little
else except sit around these lobbys
to get information.
He now says he could solve the
financial problem if the govern
ment gave him a job. He wants the
job of “Official Government Fire
Man." He wants just one room
and the power to call in various
government employees,. “All 1 want
is to ask them what they do and
what work they perform and how
many hours they put in. Then I
want the power just to say to
them ‘you are fired’—I’ll guarantee
to balance the budget within a
, year.’’
Can’t Get Action On Farm Bills
Sam Massingale, a congressman
from Oklahoma, is the author of
the “cost of production” bill, Wil
liam Lcmke, congressman from
North Dakota, is author of the
Farm Refinance Bill. Because of
“gag” rules these bills are still
held in committee. Petitions to
discharge the committee and get
the bills out on the floor have been
almost deserted. Each has about
138 signatures. They need 218 to
get the measures released for de
bate. The authors of these bills
have now written to all members
pleading with them to sign the
petitions. This is the second cam
paign during this session to get
some action on these bills.

Crucial Problem of Unemployment
In reply to many questions asked
of this office regarding the official
number of unemployed it can be
stated that estimates of the num
ber of unemployed range from the
Federal census report of 10,870,000
totally unemployed to other un
official estimates of approximately
16,000,000 including part time
workers, young people seeking
jobs, and those who have lost their
jobs since the census was taken. It
is generally agreed that unemploy
ment is the crucial problem this
country is facing today.
