WASHINGTON Real Inside on the recall of General "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell is long involved I and goes to the root of the complicated Chinese political situation. Briefly put, it boils down to the fact that General Stilwell served an ultimatum on Generalissimo Gener-alissimo Chiang Kai-shek to co-operate with other Chinese armies in waging war against Japan, and question discussed by this writer last summer, in a column vigorously criticized by the Chinese, reporting re-porting that most of the real fighting against the Japs had been done done by the Northern Chinese so-called Communist Army.

The pamphlet doesn't list addresses, ad-dresses, telephone numbers or the names of the head men to see if you want something, but it does tabulate the average number of employes of each agency, its current cur-rent fiscal year's appropriation, the law or executive summary of what it is supposed to do. Totals are impressive, the appropriations ap-propriations adding up to $106,-094,120, $106,-094,120, the employes to 2,948,863 a conservative figure which does not include the 11,100,000 men and women in the armed services, though it does include the 1,920,338 War and Navy De partment civil servants. Subtracting the war-cost items from these totals reveals that aside from direct military func tions, the federal government this year is costing $19,531,688,000 and employing 1,022,525 hands The breakdown isn't clear-cut many of the people of cir land who do not seem to realize the importance of it.

Well,What Can Be Done? The question posed by all this stuff on which the Citizens' National Na-tional Committee pamphlet gives a convenient bird's eye view is what can be done about it and what will be done about it by the next administration, when some thought can be given to boiling down the over-expanded government govern-ment to an irreducible, and necessary neces-sary concentrate. Bureau of the Budget has been working on it. So has the Joint Congressional Committee on Reduction Re-duction of Nonessential Federal Expenditures, chairmanned by Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia. It will , be a leading public issue when the war is over. The Citizens' National Committee Commit-tee itself has a few ideas on this subject, but like a lot more of the outside experts looking in on government gov-ernment affairs, it proposed to simplify the government by creating cre-ating a few more departments. Consolidation of War and Navy departments into a single Department Depart-ment of National Defense was proposed, but then the committee commit-tee staff came up with ideas for a new Department of General Administration Ad-ministration to run government housekeeping, purchasing and employment; a new Department of Public Enterprise to run the corporations; a new Department 'farming? of Public Welfare to take ini A Fertilized social security, nealln, education and relief activities.
