They said that would come in these reports. I asked how 5.000 copies were going to circulate among the States. and it developed that all the States have adopted the 5050 plan for vocational training. It also developed that most of the officers of the organization are put on the road threefourths of every year. and that they receive $5 a day for traveling expenses. whereas in our Immigration Service and in the InternalRevenue Service the men on the road must get along with $4 a day. They argued to meand I think with some justicethat a iuan getting $4 a day when lie is out on the Government service may turn in voucher showing $4 a day spent traveling. The assumption is that he had to spend the $4. whereas these people who get $5 a day have to turn in an itemized account. and they said that only in a few cases had they been able to live on the $5. and that it was a waste for the Government to have a large nlumber of bo6kkeepers and clerks engaged in analyzing these accounts to see whether they had properly expended the $5. I agree with them on that. As a matter of fact. if a vocational educational trainer can travel around on $5 a day. is it not a pity to send. for instance. the Commissioner General of Immigration out to Chicago and give him only $4 a day to live on at a good hotel in Chicago?
