U. S. Payroll Here Cut
To 200,000 or Less
Officials Estimate
By Jowph Young
Civil Service. Commission officials
estimated today that Federal em
ployment here has dropped to 200,
000 or less.
The sharp 1948 budget slashes
suffered by Federal departments
i and agencies have resulted in heavy
layoffs here during the last few
s. months, with the bulk of the dis
missals oocuring in the past four
weeks.
Commission officials, however, ex
pect Federal employment in Wash
ington to climb past the 200,000
mark again within the next six
months. They forsee a Government
payroll of abcut 208,000 persons
early next year.
FBI Job* Forecast.
One of the reasons for the ex
pected upturn is the creation of sev
eral thousand jobs in the FBI and
the commission in connection with
the forthcoming loyalty investiga
tion program. New Jobs also will
open up In the new Federal labor
agency created by the Taft-Hartley
Act, and In the Atomic Energy Com
mission.
Then, too, nine agencies trans
ferred to other cities during the
war are expected to return here
within six months. They employ a
total of about 4,800 persons.
Federal employment in Washing
ton now is at its lowest ebb since
Pearl Harbor, when the number of
Government workers here totaled
about 200,000. Since then Federal
employment here increased to a
peak of 287,000 workers In P’ebruary,
1943.
221,300 in January.
From that time on, the number
of Government workers here began
to decrease. When the Republican
Congress convened in January, there
were 221.300 Government employes
in Washington. The sharp budget
cuts, plus personnel ceiling cutbacks
set by the preceding Congress, re
sulted in bringing Government em
ployment in Washington down to
the present mark of 200,000 or even
less.
Even at the 200,000 mark, Wash
ington's Government employment is
far greater than it was in 1940,
when the defense effort began. The
peak employment in 1940 here was
127,000.

RICE DENOUNCES GREEN AS "MACHINE BOSS OP
ARLINGTON COUNTY."
RICE LAYS BLAME ON GREEN FOR POOR SCHOOLS. POOR
ROADS. AND POOR HEALTH SERVICES IN ARLINGTON.
Jinn E. Rice. Jr., raadUUt* far fomrals.iener of Rcccnec in the
Demuritie primary te be held ia Arlington August 5. today issued tha follow
ing statement:
"Arlington County's political machine hose, Mr. Harry K. Green, preeeat
Commissioner ef Revenue, says 'political bunk,’ hut read what Mr. Gunther,
•ne of the world'a foremost political reporters, has ta say about Virginia politico
In Me la toot boob. 'Inside V. R. A.’:
“Incontestably what rnns Virginia Is the Byrd machine, the meet nrbane
and genteel dictatorship in America. The Byrd machine is a highly eOlciant
organisation It runa the commonwealth aa cReotiraly aa Fcadorgast aver ran
Kaaaa* City or Kolly Noth Chicago, though with much loaa noise.'
’ ‘Mr. Gunther goes an to say that tha Byrd machine exerts its power In
every eenaty and ever practically avery office, ne matter how miner the efflee
'*■ H» *»»» that it le oulte possible that tha Byrd machine le the elagle meet
.arriving machine In the whole t'nlt.d States
. The machine la almost Invisible to onteldvrs. Mr. Gnnther goes on to oav.
but It has bean etated that Virginia is the only 'avlarr In the cenntry, being
a rage tha patting of which le extremely close span. One Individual in blttsr
neae remarked that the commonwealth is 'not only the cradle ef Amerleaa
democracy, hut Its grave,'
•“Mr. Gunther explains how the machine works. He ears that Iti major
Instruments, as always. Jobs and patronage, and the Virginia poll tax. Mr. Byrd
controls patronage through the Democratic National Coamittoe. Next, he
almoxt decides not merely the choice of Governor but o* most members of the
Stxte Legislature. The Governor of Virginia must bo a Byrd man who controls
the appointment of thousands of State employees, nnd Circuit Court 'udgos
Hho ara chosen for a substantial eight year by the Legislators, whieh Is
controlled by the Byrd machine, end these, the Legislature, in turn appoint the
school truetees. county electoral beards, and trial Justices.
Mr Gunther continues by saying that in each county there Is a Bxed
Ting or six or seven machine man and that some county officers, the ta*
astosaar (Commissioner of Revenue) being one. is elected, bnt their salariot
and expense allotments are set bv the State Compensation Board, which le alto
appointed by the Governor under Byrd s control. Mr. Gnnthor claims that
the pattern is a complete interlocking circle and that nothing could he neater
•r more complete. *
“The whole airucture would crush to ruin if It wort not for (I) the
ono-narty system and i'll the poll tax. The poll tax makei It possible for
a small minority to control any election. This tax must he paid wall In advanre
y.#lin*! hence man» people, even |f they could afford to pay it or were
willing to pay. forget to d0 so. In addition to the poll tax many people have
complained that registration has. In many cases, bean made formidable difficult
** * ®| *11 this* only about one Virginian out of fire votes.
_ ‘Mr Gunther toe* on to aay that the plnehpenny motive dominate*
Byrd * entire public rareer. not only in State but also in Federal affair*.
M.r.s.^yrd •l*1"!®? wanted food roads, but he insisted that they should he
®u.*. ®f tlSxW ,nch *y *"«h M were built. About the tame time
North Carolina undertook a substantial road-building program financed hr
#?®l£s‘j nTod*j 15*®*?^;® North Carolina is no worse off than Virginia
financially and North Carolina his a considerably bettor road systom.
Mr- Gunther also says that the standard of living in North Carolina
*a higher than that of Vlrainia. He cites the school systom and says that tha
Byrd machine has never been too generous to education and since economy
has always been a major criterion, most efforts to reform the grotesque and
inadequate school system has failed.
mil d*Tth?» ®yrd obsession for economy has driven down practically
all statistics on education, roads, health services, etc., hut it stands high in
number of office holders In the State. Virginia Is nineteenth in population)
it Is ninth in State employees. According to a noted authority on the subject*
Virginia is first In the Nation in number of State employees per capita: It has
one for every Mt-t cltieons. Whore are the taxes going? The answer ia quite
simple, they are going to feed the Byrd machine and t« maintain Its own
'‘The blame can be laid *n the doorstep of the Byrd machine and
Mr. Green In Arlington. It is well known that Mr. Green waa president of
the Byrd-Smith Club in MM(» and that he la the Byrd machine leader here
In Arlington. Virginia. ‘The Mother of states.’ first In practically everything
during the early period of our history now makes a name for Itself by being
almost last in everything, thanks t0 your efforts. Mr. Green and Byrd machine.
Here are the facts. At the present time you have helped make Virginia fameaa
for the following; *
"(id One of the last States to do away with machine newer polities.
Ct) One of the last States to accent Federal aid for education.
<8> One of the lest States to abolish poll taxes. (Still has It.l
<»> The last State (0 abolish chain gangs. (Still not abolished.I
(S) At the bottom of the list as to roads.
(ill At the bottom of the list for education.
(?) At the bottom of the list for public health servieea.
"The '!K years of 'service' which Mr Green, and onlv Mr. Oreen. as
proudly expounds and So highly evaluates actually represents veers ef anti
progress in the great State of Virginia and the countv of Arlington.
"Another indication of Mr. Green's machine attitude of nubile Indifference
ia found in his statement that when he 'retires voluntarily, he expects to
turn the office over to someone hr selects. He has been In the office so lang
he forgets that his cIBee ia an elected one and the voters are the ones to decide
the issue. Go to the polls on August A and register vour complaint with the
‘ machine and let Mr. Green know that his office ia an sleeted one and net a
self-appointed hereditary office.'’
