Grace Noll Crowell WELFARE: More for Less Signing into law a bill to reorganize the federal government, President Truman offered a major proposal. He wants a new department of welfare created with its chief officer given full cabinet rank. THE IDEA is not a completely new one. It was heard frequently during the early days of the Roose-veltia- n era, much oftener during the latter years of F. D. Rs regime. While this proposition commanded chief attention of the nation's press, the President offered six other streamlining plans aimed at giving the taxpapers better service for less money. These included: Transfer of the U.S. employment and unemployment compensation offices to the labor department. PLACING of the two key defense national security counagencies cil and national security and resources in the board directly President's office. Tightening up administration of the post office department, mari- time commission and civil service commission. Transfer of the publle roads administration to the commerce de- partment. The President said the plans, which followed closely several of the major recommendations Hoover commission on government reorganization, will not "automati cally produce efficiency and cut spending. BUT HE SAID they open the door to improvements that will make the government more vigorous and operate more smoothly at a lower cost over a period of time. No one expected any reduction in federal spending, and the President's conclusions might be construed as a preliminary defense setup for continued federal outlay at the present, or an increased level, despite the Hoover commission recommendations and the Presimanifesto. dents own seven-poi- VETERANS: Get Good News n were Veterans of World War all set for a surprise bonanza. The Veterans administration announced in Washington that cash refunds totaling 2.8 billion dollars will begin for them about next Jan uary that is, for all GI's who took out national service life insurance during the war. These were estimated to number some 16 million. Under the new payments, announced by the VA, each or his heirs would receive an average of $175 from life insur ance dividends. Described as a "dividend the money is to be re paid from two sources: 1. An eight billion dollar surplus which developed from the fact that G.I. insurance were premiums based by law on a standard mortality (death) rate table which turned out to be higher than needed. 2. Earnings from the surplus. In general, it was explained, every veteran who took out national service insurance and kept it in force at least three months will be eligible provided the policies were not issued after January 1, 1948. No refunds are to be made on policies issued after that date. MEANWHILE, government officials saw in the insurance dividend payments a timely "shot in the arm for business in 1950 which White House Repairs buggy ride c consumer demand and increasingly higher wages really over? The Ford motor company thought so and said so. CONFRONTED with a list of demands by the united automobile workers union, the company made a significant counter-proposaInstead of pay raises and pension, health and welfare plans as drafted by the union, the company proposed to peg wages where they are for another 18 months. Such action, said the company, would "set a stabilization pattern for the entire (national) economy at this critical time. THE UNION, among other things, had demanded that wages be pegged to the cost of living. Pointing out that the cost of living is down and that the market for cars might drop up to 32 per cent after this year, the company declared flatly that it would reject any change in the work contract which would mean higher labor costs whether in the form of wage Increases or pension or welfare funds. THUS the Issue was hastening to a showdown. Could industry stand firm against another round of wage increases, or would labor with its organized power so stifle industry that capitulation would be l. Still a Question It appeared that all the commotion about repairs to the White House wasnt quite over, although congress approved and sent to the President a money bill carrying funds for work on the White House. The money was included in a measure calling for expenditure of 671 million dollars for various government obligations. THE HOUSE, which had passed d the bill earlier, accepted a amendment approved by the senate. The change would put it up to a special commission whether residence a separate should be built for the first family, in addition to the job on the White House itself. one-wor- six-ma- n GERMANY: Partial Accord The four-wee- k conference of the council of foreign ministers of the four major powers had ended with partial accord having been reached. The western powers and Russia cleared away obstacles to an Ausand trian independence treaty agreed to try to get along a little better in Germany. THE RUSSIANS, however, were in there pitching right up to the final moments of the parley. The conference ended in a flurry of excitement as Russia sought unsuccessfully to make a last minute change in the announcement of the meetings results. The Reds had promised not to reimpose a blockade on Berlin in return for efforts to revive east-wetrade in Germany. This was contained in a statement of principle by the Big Four to guide negotiations in Germany. The Russians were supported in their 150 million dollar claim on Austria for German assets, and swung an uppercut at Yugoslavias Marshal Tito by dropping their support of Yugoslavian claims on Austria. These were the points which cleared the way for an Aus trian treaty which has been ordered for presentation by September 1. DESPITE the improvement in east-werelations growing out of the conference, American spokesmen were not optimistic in evaluating results. U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson had no immediate comment. Work on the Austrian treaty, however, was termed a substantial step forward and of no little importance because it would free Austria and push Soviet troops farther back into eastern Europe. It was felt that ground had been neither gained nor lost in Germany, should serve to stimulate sales They recalled that the terminal-leav- e payoff of some two billion dollars in 1947 provided a sizeable such stimulus for the nation's business. The plan to start the checks rolling in January brought vigorous criticism on Capitol Hill as Repre sentative Keating (R N. Y.) demanded that congress set October 15 as the deadline. He introduced a bill to hurry the dividend pay' ments to that date. He declared that the government had "overcharged veterans on their life insurance, and that the money should be refunded "immediately, not a year from now. i ETHAN PRYORS laughAbigail to him.

In January of 1934 they moved to a single room in an unfashionable part of the city. Ethan was barely making enough to keep them from starving. Abigail hunted for a week and eventually won for herself a job. It wasnt much of a job. She sat behind a glass window all afternoon and evening selling tickets for a stock company performance. The stock company wasn't doing so well It looked as though it might fold up any day. But it paid $15 a week and would have to do until she could get something better. Inspired, a little ashamed, Ethan went job hunting himself. He hunted a week, two weeks, without success. He began to brood. Abigail did her best to cheer him up, to get him Into a happy frame of mind. Lets hear the old laugh ring out, darling. A pleasant frame of mind is half the battle." She sat on the arm of his chair.
