No Large Federal Payroll Cuts Seen by Civil Service Head
Washington reported that Civil Service Commission chief Harry B. Mitchell said there will be no big reductions in federal employment soon due to ongoing international tensions. He cited defense growth from 227 863 to 744 361 and Veterans Administration from 39 681 to 189 722, while non defense agencies show little decline. Mitchell warned substantial cuts require congressional and presidential action. The piece also notes family reunion details in Amarillo and brief global items on milk pasteurization and Chilean navy retirements.
