Brooklyn Dodgers Struggle Underscores Breach in Buck System

Red Light Campaign Urges Arkansans to Curb Federal Waste
Arkansas Public Expenditure Council urged citizens to contact Senators and Congressmen to press for elimination of non essential federal agencies and wasteful spending. Executive director Steve Stahl said a red light should flash against extravagance to aid the war program. The group highlighted 23,000 federal employees in Arkansas, more than three times state payroll, and criticized federal corporations spending millions with limited controls. The council backs Byrd Economy Committee proposals to cut at least 300,000 federal non essential workers and study government corporations.
