Progress on The Hoover Report Considering how little progress the 81st Congress has made on most legislation, it is gratifying to note that so far as the important Hoover Commission recommendations are concerned some real speed is being made. , . The Citizens Committee for the Hoover Report, a nationwide organization of public spirited persons who are working for adoption of the reforms proposed by the commission, is agreeably astonished at Congress' xeady action. More real progress has been made, the Committee reports "than any observer would have dared to dream six months ago." . , .-. A month ago the Committee reported of the reorgani

zation bills, "One has passed, four are showing signs of life and five await introduction." Today four measures have been enacted, a fifth is nearing passage, three more are shewing signs of life and 13 others have been introduced. The four bills already passed are: 1. The key Reorganization Act of 1949 ; 2. The State Department reorganization measure ; 3. A bill creating an Undersecretary of Defense and, 4. The law creating an Office of General Services to consolidate purchasing, supply, Records, building and other "housekeeping" functions of the government. These are in addition to the seven "plans" which the President submitted to Congress under the key act. : . Most important of these measures was that, creating thfe ' Office of General Services. As the Citizens Committee points out, this has far wider implications than is generally realized. It opens the door to an efficient, businesslike system of Federal property management. In the field of purchasing alone it offers potential saving? of perhaps $250,000,000 annually. Huge economies are possible by reducing arid consolidating the enormoufe $27 billions in' inventories carried by the various agencies.' The most important single measure proposed by the Hoover Report, the. Tydings Bll for further unification of the armed forces, is having rough sledding. It first ran into opposition by Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Armed Forces Committee, who threatened to keep it bottled up until Congress adjourned. Largely due to pressure frorn the Citizens Committee, Vinson changed his mind and decided to back the bill. Then members of the House committee learned that Defense Secretary Johnson had ordered all military personnel who expected to testify in the B-36 investigation were to clear their testimony with his office. The committee mem

bers jumped to the conclusion that Secretary Johnson intended to censor any matter unfavorable to the B-36, although he explained his sole reason was to "co-ordinate" a vast amount of duplicating material. In retaliation the House committee promptly voted 1312, to shelve the Tydings measure, despite Chairman Vinson's support. Irate Sen. Tydings in turn is threatening to hold up the House's $302 million, military pay raise bill. Whether that will be sufficient to force the House committee to reverse itself remains to be seen. . ' Since it is estimated that the unification bill 'will make savings of more than $1 billion possible, the House members' peeve is about the most expensive one in history. Their action is downright childish. ' If the .Tydings Bill is finally passed, even if no further reorganization measures are enacted on at this session, an actual majority of the dollar savings possible under the Hoover recommendations will have been achieved. In view of Congress' comparatively undistinguished record otherwise, it would seem that the House would want that accomplishment to point at with pride.

Editor of The Times, There was recently an article about pigeons becoming a nuisance in San Diego,. Calif., mostly to churchgoers.

Not only in San Diego, but

here in Sullivan do we have pigeon trouble. When conditions are such that one hardly dares to enter a store in Sullivan without the protection of an umbrella, pigeons become a nuisance of the highest order and something should be done. A victim.

This is history on your doorstep the story of how you and your family came to live where you do how the land you see about you' blossomed from a wilderness into furrowed farms and busy towns and cities. It's a story of wheels wheels a-rolling along the steel-ribbed rails, bringing the pioneer and his plow, the early merchant and his cracker barrel wheels spinning faster and faster, constantly matching the expanding production of farm, mine and factory. -You can see it all this summer at Chicago's Railroad Fair in "Wheels a-Rolling", the greatest transportation pageant ever produced, and in the exhibits of America's great railroads, Don't miss it. . ' .

If you can't visit the Fair, you can still see the story at any railroad crossing. Watch an Illinois .Central freight train roll by. On the outside of some cars you'll read "Main Line of Mid-America." Inside the cars, where you may not see, are the raw materials and finished products that make your life what it is, the goods that make Mid-America the land of plenty, the goods whose production creates the pay checks We all live by. Yesterday is past; today is passing. Tomorrow you may be sure that the Illinois Central's progress will continue to earn its right to your friendship and patronage; i W. A.Johnston President ,
