Billion Dollar Paycheck
rALL THE PEOPLE now on the Federal civilian
payroll lived with their families in one new city, it
would be the second largest city in the United States.
Senator Harry F. Byrd has announced that
2,361,000 people now collect their pay from Uncle
Sam. And their paychecks now total more than a
billion dollars every month. What is more important,
their paychecks come out of our paychecks. Govern
ment workers averaged 11 per cent pay raises during_
1958, but few taxpayers did.
Many of these men and women are engaged in
programs which many citizens feel to be non-essential
or even detrimental’ to the welfare of the nation.
But even if every program the government now
conducts were to be continued, Senator Byrd assures
us that more than 150,000 jobs could be abolished with
out impairing efficiency in the slightest. This is
slightly more than 6 per cent.
Today, the Federal government is running in the
red and is having great difficulty in borrowing the
money it needs to make up the deficit. In the face
of these facts,. Senator Byrd’s suggestion is just plain
common sense.

Russian Subs Outnumber
American, Says Navy Sec.
LONDON, UP! — U. S. Navy Sec
retary Thomas S. Gates Jr., said
today Russia has about 450 sub
marines compared to the 125 the
flnited States could put into ac
tion, “but numbers aren’t every
thing.”
The United States has 33 nu
clear-powered submarines actually
in service or being completed,
Gates told a news conference. He
said he expected Congress will
authorize the building of three
more.
All of Russia’s are presumed to |
be of conventional design.

installations of the U.‘ S. 6th
Fleet, which is concentrated in
the Mediterranean, and to confer
with officials of allied nations.
