The chief spadevvork and steering of national legislation through
Congress is done by committees. They decide what measures will ever
reach the floor for a vote, and the board chairman often has Ihe decid

key committees are in line to take over direct ion when t he 81) t h Con-

by the Navy as "X-Day," for choos
ing some 5,000 high school seniors
to whom will be offered free col
lege education, plus $50 a month,
under an expanded officers' train
ing program. On that date, com
petitive examinations will be held
at 555 cities for candidates for the
College Program 'NACPi. Applica
tions to fake the examination must

Corps (NROTC) or Naval Aviation

FEDERAL EMPLOYES
A Civil Service report reveals
that Federal employes on Sept. 30
numbered 2,464,000 as compared
with 3.770.000 on June 30, 1945.
The big decline in civilian employ
ment was in the War Department,
which was down 51r; from 1,881,
000 to 728.000, but remained the
largest of all Federal agencies. The
Postolfice Department was the sec
ond largest, with a total of 495,000
employes. The Navy Department
ranks third, with 394,000, a 48 per
cent decrease from its 753.000 em
ployes on June 30, 1945.
FEDERAL DEBT
The Federal Government finished
the first third of the current fiscal
year $300,841,791 in the red, ac
cording to Treasury Department
figures. If it duplicates that per
formance ih the two other four
month periods, the debt at the close
of the fiscal year, on June 30, 1947.
would be a little more than $900,
525.000. This Would be less than
half the $1,900,000,000 deficit fore
cast by President Truman on Aug
3.
INCOME TAXES
The United States Tax Court has
upheld efforts of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau to collect income
taxes from citizens who did ex
tended wartime work in foreign
countries for American concerns,
including newspapers. The mere
fact that they spent an entire tax
able year working abroad was held
not sufficient to guarantee them the
law s exemption from U. S. income
taxes for citizens who
fide'' residents of such countries
tor a taxable year.

WORLD FOOD SITUATION
The Department of Agriculture
declares thai wot Id food produc
tion, in l:t-l(i-47 will be about seven
per cent higher than last year's
low figure and .perhaps slgihtly
larger than the pre-war average.
Production increases were pro
nounced in areas stricken by war
and drour.ht. but output in many
of these areas is still below aver
age and will require large imports.

COTTON
With the exception of last year,
the 1940-47 world cotton crop of
20.050.000 bales is ihe lowest pro
duction since 1923-24, according to
the Agricultural Department. The
figure compares with a 1945-46 re
vised estimate of 20,440,000 bales,
and a pre-war average of $33,875.

must maintain a $1,000,000,000 an
