SS—— SR FEDERAL CORPORATIONS The Byrd Joint Committee on Reduction of Non- essential Expenditures, after two years of study, has issued a report relating to Government corporations which should prove amazing to the layman because it proves that the Federal Government has really gone into business on a large scale, There are some 44 Government-owned corpora- tions having net liabilities in excess of 16 billion dollars as of June, 1943, and net assets estimated at 20 billion dollars—no small item. The actual value of the assets, however, is highly uncertain. But the committee notes that these corporations have a bor- rowing power of 33 billions of dollars in addition to | outstanding loans of 6.5 billion. These corporations employ 70,000 individuals and are operating at a current loss of 103 million dollars. In addition, there are 15 unincorporated agencies, not covered by the report, but operating loan activities and enterprises. From the viewpoint of administration the cor- porate form of organization probably does have advamazes that make it desirable for giving effect Washinglon Merry- Go-Round (Continued from rage One) ke time to say Hoover has | studying childrer ‘hefll(h\' younger lm even wrote a ma I had a Son.” ——“ Here is some |gave: “If T had ably be feared criminals, husband and fa afraid. on me. “If I had a {thing.

WEDNESDAY AUGUST I6 ?94! lm certaln Government programs such as the Ten- lne\fiee Valley Authority. But it seems that too eften | and with increasing frequency Government corpora- itiom have been set up mainly for the purpose of 'evading legislative restrictions or escaping financial supervision, rather than providing a more efficient | discharge of duties. And there seems to be an amaz- ling lack of over-all control of the corporate affairs. Many of the Federal corporations do not even have to go to Congre: for funds with which to cover | administative expenses. Some do not make reports to Congress. Only several have accounts audited by the General Accounting Office with growing attempts to resist audits, according to the Byrd Com- mittee. | The committee recommends prompt establish- ment of over-all control of Government corporations, taking the form of a business-type budget and a work | program for the coming year to be presented to the | Bureau of Budget to compete with other Government activities and to be sent to Congress for approval | Control of accounts by the Treasury and audit are | also recommended. | Many of the corporations compete with private corporations and have steadily expanded in a \uu.\hmtmn of industry. Many such corporations tablished to meet emergency needs have continued | |in operation after the emergency is over.

In 1940 he was forced by Mr. Roosevelt's mandate on a convention which obviously would have preferred any one of half a dozen other candidates. His victory was a tribute not to himself but to the President. This year, on his own, he rolled up a good deal of undoubtedly enthusiastic support. A large group of delegates believed in him and wanted him.
