Expansion of Old Agencies Boosts Federal Payroll
Recent Creation of Elever New Commissions Fails To Add Many Employees
ACTIVITIES EXTENDED
Washington, Feb. 4—(UF) The recent creation of commissions, independent boards and agencies by the government has had comparatively little effect in the government payroll, a study of government revels.
Rather it has been the expansion of office structures—the various departments, and the government grows more complex—that accounts for the increase. That and the expansion of other offices.
Of the 94,600 man and women who work for Uncle Sams, only 1,532 have been added by the creation of 11 of the independent commissioners and similar benefactor groups. Their total pay is $4,591,072, which is a considerable sum, but rather insignificant when compared to $4,844,000 which is Uncle Sams's total payroll.
Farm Board Workers
For instance, the federal farm barn employs less than half as many people as does the older bureau of home care in the field of agriculture in its field environment.
And the total employees of the 11 busauses under consideration is 300 less than the number of people the hours are served in. How many hours do we serve if it is serving the country.
The federal radio commission employs 122 persons, and is heard of much. But the alien property custodian's office, a remnant of war days, still has 141 employees, or nine more than is required to administer the affairs of radio.
One bears from time to time that the government's board of mediation which oversees a variety of activities is a costly activity. Yet its 39 employees amount to only nine more than it still retained by the old war finance department, and the discontent—bodies engaged in discontent—the government from its western business ventures. Few people realize
Veteran's Bureau
When one gets to the veterans' administration, however, the picture changes considerably—how much it is difficult to tell. It was told to take over administration of all forms of affairs; infecting the well-being and being involved in the lives of civilians in the nation's armed forces. More than half of its activities are new. But before it was created the government was heavily involved, through several different bureaus, in the work with which the administration deals. Hence, the means means its largely charged up as a new activity of the government.
The magnitude of its work, however, is shown by its payroll figures. It employed last year 33,403 persons, which would be nearly half on many as the number of employees or equal to five pencecent divisions of the army. They received in salaries $75,709,076 or approximately as much as the combined state budgets of Kansas, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Dellana, Montana, Nevada, and New Mexico.
Frat Mascot Loses Bridgework
three of the prized gold tooth in the mouth of Nokle, house macast at the Sigma Epsilon fraternity, is being mourned by members. Last year the brothers decided that their pet, oldest of all campus mascots, would have some shiny new teeth to replace fims worn down by fighting and entrapment from his former displayed his new molars, but came home minus the bridgework after another fight.

Four University Instructors Assist in Nominating Nobel Prize Candidate
PALEONTOLOGIST DISCOVERS FOSSIL SKULL IN WYOMING
Hays, Feb. 4—(Special)-What are the mathematical chances for a man to pick up an object three tens of an inch long in a field in a year of a hundred miles square? Not huh one would say. Yet that is not likely, given that gist with headquarters at Fort Hays State College, did last summer near Wyndon, Wyhoe, when he found a tiny
This skull was once the head of a Rhineaue, a small burrowing lizard much like those of today. The skull is large and powerful; however, but it is so small that one must use a magnifying glass to see them. It is *this* smallest tectonite ever* collected*, according to George Sterberg, a geologist who was working when he made the find.
Four University of Kansas professors, Dr. E. M. Hopkins, professor of English; R. D. O'Leary, professor of English; Dr. H. C. Thurman, professor of Germanic languages; and Miss Alice Winston, assistant professor of English in the composition department. Upon Sinclair for the Nobel prize for literature.
Letters were sent to various persons asking for their indorsement of the candidate. These letters were received by
The code of statutes of the Nobel foundation provides that nomination of candidates for Nobel prizes may be made by members of the Swedish Academy and of humistic institutions and societies that are on the same basis; teachers of estimation, literature and history at universities and colleges.
In accordance with this provision a group of admirers of the books of Upton Owen, Sir J. E. T. Eliot, Einstein, Paul S. Epstein, Edwin Markan, and F. C. S. Schiller, united in asking the support of duly qualified Upton Owen for the literature prize.

Upton Sinclair's greatest novels are, "The Jungle," "Love's Pilgrimage," "Oil," and "Boston." The novel, "Jungle," is characteristic of Sinclair's work. It exposes the packing industry. The publication of that book was directly responsible for the federal insurrection in 1963. The novel was so powerful that many people refused to eat the meat that came from large packing plants.
All of Sinclair's novels left their imprint on the American mind as well as inichel people of many other islands. Inichel number covers the fields of fiction, drama, economics, and social and literary works, been translated into other languages.
