will be inaugurated this week in Wash
ington.
George j. Adams, executive secretary
of the Washington Employment Com
mittee. announced last night both his
organization and the Washington Food
Conservation Committee would make
every effort to put across the pantry
party idea. He revealed series Of
radio speeches would be made on the
subject and letters explaining the plan
in detail would be written to so to so
organizations of women.
He pointed out the pantry parties
already had proved successful when
given by organizations He said the
movement should spread to private
affairs as well. The organizer predict
ed more help for the needy would be
obtained from this source than from
any other.
$4,000 Must Be Helped.
indications are that this idea will
take hold and become really popular
all over town." Mr.. Adams said. Here's
hoping 1t does" he added. because
we're going to need enormous quantities
of food to care for the army of unem-
ployed here this Winter. It's already
getting cold and something must be
accomplished. There are from $4,000
to $4,000 unemployed men and women
here now and most of them are at the
end of their resources. They must be
helped or they'll starve."
Mr.. Adams said his committee would
arrange to send trucks all over the city
to collect groceries donated at the par
ties. He said the trucks could be OBJ
tanned by calling the Employment Com
mittee at National 5000.
He said good results were being OBJ
tanned through placing of boxes in
more than 900 stores The public has
been asked to place groceries for the
unemployed in these containers.
Will Stimulate Business.
mot only will this grocery store box
plan help the grocer by adding to his
business" Mr. Adams said, but it will
help business conditions generally. Those
to be aided in this manner will include
the man who made the can, the miner
who produced the tin from which the
can was made. the packer who filled
the can. the farmer who supplied the
food and the farm machinery manu-
facturer who sells to the farm9r
A meeting Of the Executive Commit
tee of the Food Conservation Commit
tee will be held tomorrow afternoon at
2 o'clock in Harvey's former restaurant
at Eleventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue. Plans will be discussed for

FEDERAL PAY ROLL
NOW AT PEAK HERE
Civil Service Chairman Says
$150,0O0,OOO a Year Is
Total Paid.

Federal payrolls now are at their
peak regardless of the depression,
Thomas E. Campbell, chairman of the
Civil Service Commission, declared yes
terday at a meeting of the Political
Study Club in the Washington Club.
He pointed out that the Federal pay
roll now averages $3.50 900 900 annually
exclusive Of armed forces. He said this
meant the Government Is paying out
100000 q day more now than four
years ago in salaries and wages. He
said the Government spends more
money for this purpose rev than at
any time since the war.
Complaints Numerous.
Chairman Campbell said countless
complaints were received because of the
inability Of District residents to obtain
permanent Federal positions. He said
the apportionment law provides resi-
dents Of the District should have but
ISL such positions, though 1888 per-
sons obtained them. He explained the
many other Federal employees here are
residents Of various States or were when
they received their appointments.
OF the nearby States, he said, Virginia
Is entitled to TAB positions and has 1920,
while Maryland is due sol and possesses
1924.
The chairman disclosed 30,594 Wash
ington women are employed by the Gov
eminent, while 10000 women are on
the rolls in the field.
Blind Alley" Complaints.
Mr.. Campbell said he hoped to elini-
nate the numerous complaints that Fed
eral employees are in a blind alley" He
said the Council of Personnel Admin
lstration planned to make more flexible
promotions and transfers within the
service. He said he believed this would
aid the Government in obtaining higher
grade men. He said the best men here
tofore have sought private careers
rather than Government positions.
The chairman said it would be impos-
sible to grant positions to all the Dis
trict residents seeking Government
posts. He pointed out there were 10000
applicants from the District out Of 80
600 in the entire country in recent
examinations for positions as file clerks
He said there were 5,400 applicants
from Washington for openings as
stenographers and typists in other
recent tests.

PLAN TO REORGANIZE

NEW YORK, December "A plan
for the reorganization of Tobacco Prod
ucts Corporation of New Jersey, holding
company for the common stock OF
United Cigar Stores Co. and for a lease
agreement with American Tobacco, was
mailed to stockholders today.
The plan proposed formation OF Two
new companies. Class A stockholders
of Tobacco Products will receive $40 in
debentures of another New Jersey cor
poration for each share of stock, while
owners of the common will get 81 in
debentures of a new Delaware corpora
ton which will take over assets OF the
present company with the exception OF
the lease agreement.
Collateral trust debentures totalng
$35,591, 235 and bearing 612 per cent
interest will be issued by the New Jer-
sey corporation, while the proposed To-
bacco Products Corporation OF Delaware
will issue 3,296,652 shares Of stock, its
assets being 1854 $40 shares OF United
Cigar Stores common and the entire
capital stock of the present company
Frederick K Morrow, president OF
Tobacco Products, pointed out that the
only present function of the company
was to receive income from the Amer
lean Tobacco lease and distribute 1t to
Tobacco Products class A stockholders.
Substantial amounts paid in taxes an
nually, he said, would seem TO De I'M

the continuance of Tobacco Products
