But he said the situation ‘is better than a ‘year ago and government spending has to be cut “where the money is.” He said the committee probably will cut in half an additional presidential request for $3.5 billion for a so-called military public works program when it reaches Congress. While both the House and Senate will review the cuts, the committee’s opinion carries great weight. Here is what Mr. Truman sought for branches of the Armed Services and military agencies and what the committee recommended: Army—S$14.2 billion; $12,520,-

Clock Watchers
The Parker Pen Co. of Janesville, Wis., which gained immortal fame not so long ago by producing a pen that could write under water, now has come up with a strange plan to improve employee relations. The pen company banned time clocks in favor of an honor system. Now the company finds that workers arrive on time more often, employee morale h a s soared, production has gone up and the company saved time because the workers no longer had to funnel in and out of the plant through 14 time clock bottlenecks.
