General Dwiglil Eisenhower told the House Military Committee today he could "see no possibility in the next 15 to 20 years" of reducing the army below a strength of 800,000 officers and enlisted men. Urging prompt approval of leg islation to permit the appointment of 25,000 additional regular army officers, the Chief of Staff vistialied a peace-time army of 400,000 for the air forces and 400.000 for support ing forces. 80,000 Officers Needed. The figure of 800,000 he said, will be reached through a gradual de cline from the 1,070,000 scheduled to be in uniform on July I, 1917. To man such a peace-time army properly, Eisenhower said, 80,000 of ficers would be needed. Of these, 50.000 would be regulars and 30, 000 temporary officers, on active duty. Existing law limits regular of ficer appointments to 25,000. The additional officers, he said, would come frorr. the ROTC, officer candidate schools, and West Point, with inducements being offered to men in enlisted grades to win pro motions to officer rank. Eisenhower said he did not be ! licve the military academy at West Point should be enlarged. He put great stock, he told the group, in the old military adage that "every pri vate has a marshal's baton in his knapsack." At present the army is "getting woeftdly short of officers," he said, adding that a year from now the I shortage may "embarrass us very badly." While many temporary officers still are on duty, he explained, they will not remain in service unless given assurances of permanent ap pointments. | Textile Workers ! In New Engkinc!

Duplication Of Government Functions Poses Big Problem By LYNN NISBKT. Daily Dispatch Bureau Raleigh. July 10.?Overlapping and duplication of effort on part of gov ernmental agencies is like M a r k Twain's weather ? everybody talks about it but nobody docs anything.

The report discloses that 327 dis tinct administrative agencies are op j crating within Henry County or di rectly serving its citizens ? 110 lo cal agencies. Ill state fid 100 fed eral. As many as six agencies were found to be taxing the same prop erly. Taxes .are being paid by Henry i county citizens to each of these scp | aratc agencies. II was found that 58 1 different kinds of licenses are sold ti the county by 33 different govern mental units. Twelve department of agriculture j - agencies were reported; four state agencies were dealing with Oonser vntion; throe welfare agencies were discovered to have overlapping ac tivities. and eight planning boards were at work ? sometimes at cross purposes. Whether conditions In this respect an better or worse in the average North Carolina county than in the Indiana bailiwick could not be de termined without a similar exhaus tive survey which took two years to complete, "flint there is wasteful overlapping of federal, state and lo !cal government cannot be question : cd. What chiefly concerns students of efficient government is the trend [toward further diversifications and j duplication rather than toward uni fication of efforts directed to the same general purpose. Mmy keen observers believe the time is over I due for a thorough study of the problem as basis for consolidation of | departmental activities and climlna Ition of several indigent agencies by integrating their work into otK era 01 kindred nature. _ ^ ,
