Desmond Dropped as Di- rector With Successor
 to Be Named

James J. Desmond, director of the municipal employment bureau since it was established three months ago. left the city employ at noon today. and it is expected that a successor will be named shortly.
 Desmond was informed yesterday of the departments decision to dis continue his services City Engineer ?. A. Merian had no comment 10 of fer on the matter today excepting to say that the ployment situ- ation has strengthened itself out somewhat and the public works op- erations are 10 be curtailed. He ad- mitted that Desmond's job will not go out of existence
 Rumblings of outside influences in the allotment of jobs on street and sewer gangs have been heard for several weeks and have resulted in semi-official investigation. but it is claimed that Desmond has had no part in the practice. One of the re- suits Of this inquiry has been the dismissal of athletes and then re- placement by married men with de- pendents on city wok.
