BUREAU EMPLOYEES
TomorroW's DismisSalS Will
Cut Force to "PreSent
Needs"

Six hundred employees Of the bureau
Of engraving and printing will be
dropped tomorrow, it was announced
today by Director Louis A. HILL in
order to bring the personnel of the
bureau more nearly down to present
needs"
The action will be taken in ac-
cordance with a Treasury Department
order of last March, ordering the
bureau personnel to be cut from its
inflated condition to one more nearly
commensurate with the demands OF
postwar days.
Three classes of employees are af-
fected in the dismissaIs; those on
two-year extension of the retirement
act, who will get pensions; married
ployed. and wartime employees, without
civil service status.
Careful Survey Made.
Director Hill has had careful
survey of the personnel made, with a
view to making the present dismls-
sails as nearly as possible in accord
ance with the Treasury Department
otoCi. anu tho ~
the plant. The falling off of demand
for new federal reserve notes was also
a factor in the dismissals. II was said.
The dismissals will cut down the
force az the bureau TO such d point
that twill no longer be necessary
to enforce the rotating furlough,
by which each per diem employe took
three days off each month, 1t was
announced by Director Hill. SUBJ
stantially, this means that with the
cutting of personnel there will be
enough work to go around without
the furlough. and that each per diem
employe will now get three days
more pay per month. The rotating
furlough will be abolished beginning
Monday. it was explained.
Dixmissals Total 1000.
The bureau of engraving and print
ing during the war. when the print
ing of liberty bonds and victory
bonds and other paper taxed the
capacity of the plant to the limit, was
employing about 5000 persons. but
by several reductions the number had
been cut down to about 5000 when
Director Hill took charge.
About 500 employees were dismissed
by former Director Wiimeth. in IN"
reduction plan, shortly before the
Presidents order removed Mr.. Will
meth himself and his staff.

that the behavior of Eastlake, after
the murder. was most unusual He
said that the I>etty officer showed no
emotion whatever, was quite cool and
was not affected in the least when
confronted with the body of his wife.
The little Westmoreland county court
house was more crowded yesterday than
any time since the opening OF the trial
Fully half of the audience We're
women, but their presence in the
courtroom was shortlived, for soon
after Commonwealth's Attorney Watt
T. Mayo had finished his examination
of w. r. Hall. town sergeant Of
Colonial Beach, the first witness
called to the stand, Judge Joseph W.
Chinn asked al women to leave the
room.
In his cross-examination of the wit
ness Harry NJ. Smith. jr, counsel Tor
the nurse, charged Hall with omit
ting certain testimony offered at the
trial of Eastlake, and 1t was after
continued argument between oppos-
ing counsel that Judge Chinn issued
the order for the women to leave.
whereupon the witness added to his
testimony.
When the room was cleared, skel-
eton key was exhibited which the
witness said he had found in the
nurses possession. This key, Hall
said, would open both doors at Miss
spent the night previous TO the mur-
der, and the kitchen door at the
Eastlake home. 1t was shown that
this testimony had been omitted at
the Eastlake trial.
Other Testimony Repetition.
The rest Of the testimony given by
the witness was a repetition of what
he had told at the trial of Eastlake.
and had to do with what transpired
at the Eastlake home shortly after
the murder.
When Hall stated that Miss Knox
had told him she dressed the little
Eastlake girl on the morning of the
murder the nurse repeatedly con-
vcrsed with her counsel.
When the blcod-stained bathrobe
and undergarments were exhibited
for identification, the defendant sat
unmoved.
Mrs NJ. W. De AtIey. proprietress
of>the hotel at Colonial Beach where
the nurse had gone on arriving at
| the resort, followed Hall on the stand.
Her testimony, too. was repetition
of what she had told at the Eastlake
trial.
The defense scored a point when
Attorney Smith forced the witness to
acknowledge that Miss Knox had left
[ the hotel publicly.
Court adjourned at the conclusion of
her testimony until later in the day.

srtong for the proposed revolutionary
change regarding the fiscal relations.
Representative Davis said that he
himself had less to say upon the sub
ject than any of the others, but thai
he is in favor of the change. as infor-
mally agreed to in conference.
Representative Davis said that he
brought this matter back to the House
without reaching a final agreement III
conference because he entertaias some
doubt whether it was subject TO a point
of order, although he had been assured
by the Senate conferees that it would
not be subject to a point of order
Representative Davis said that he
himself will make the motior~ssrcin the
floor to adopt this agreement informally
reached in conference in substitution
for the original Senate amendment COW
