Be that as it may, in spite of ad ministration “cutting to the bone’’ and congressional efforts to extend the cutting to the marrow, the fed eral payroll kept on going up. It’s 2,596,690 employees at the end of the last fiscal year compared with these other totals: 919,776 just before World War broke out in 1939. 3,749,578 at its wartime peak in 1945. 1,968,400 when war broke out in Korea, in June, 1950. Thus the increase since Korean fighting began is 628,290. What do all thes peoplce do? President Truman gave a run down in his last speech to the Na tional Civil Service League. Sev. enty-eight per cent, he said, work for the Defense Department, Post- office, and Veteran’s Administra tion. He went on to say: “The remaining 22 per cent per form all other functions of the government — staffing such vital agencies as the FBI and the Atom ic Energy Commission, the Soil Conservation Service and reclama tion, the employment service and public health.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE “The Paper Everybody Reads” ±- 8 * :: « B $ a a ♦v ♦ * a a :: ♦> ♦ ♦ ♦V a ♦♦ FOR RENT—Street floor office on Pitts Street.

It’s thrifty to shop first In this newspaper, then in the stores as prices change and new merchandise is received and displayed. BE WISE— READ THE ADS This was a see-saw affair, with some agencies handing out pink slips while others were recruiting new help. The Commerce Department, for instance, lopped 3,268 off its pay roll while the Economic Stabiliza tion agency was adding 6,933. Of late, with less price-enforcing to do, EISA has been firing people, too. The Trump n administration claims credit for much of the staff] reduction iri non-defense agencies ! ; President Truman promised in his i budget messages last Januanr that i government activities, not related to defense would be cut to the ] bone. Republicans in Congress, with | backing of many Democrats, hoot-j ed at the thought of the Truman administration saving the taxpay ers money. Congress proceeded to slash some six billion dollars from thej President’s requests for funds to run the government — but that mostly will affect civilian agencies in the present fiscal year. In addition, two further curbs have been in effect: One, sponsored by Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich), limits money for salaries and expenses of government work- Kraft’s MAYONNAISE pt- 19c * Nabisco Large VANILLA WAFERS 28c COLLARD GREENS no. sos cans TURNIP GREENS * A BLACKEYEPEAS 1 lip GR’P’FRUIT JUICE LIMA BEANS PORK & BEANS KRAUT, HOMINY ORANGE JUICE COKES or PI EPS ‘I Case 1.35 U Carton 35c COUNTRY HAMS Co-Chem White Cap STARCH or BLEACH qt. 10c Canned Virginia TOMATOES ^ 2 for 29C Orange JUICE 46 oz. 17c Upton’s—With Coupon ] TEA, y 4 lb 25c . | Vesper TEA, V4 lb 25c Texize Deal — Cleaner 39c, Detergent 10c — Both 49c Pure Maid FLOUR, 25 lbs $1.75 Economy Cuts PORK CHOPS, lb. ... 59c Camatioh, Pet, Silver Cow MILK, 2 cans 29c a Country Style SAUSAGE, lb. 33c Morrell Breakfast Bacon ib. 19c John R.
