VACATIONS TUDY
FORD. {. URGED

Washingtonians should receive
the benefits of the Smith-Hughes
act, providing for the promotion
of a national program Of voca
tional education, according to Ed
ward T. Franks. vice chairman
of the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education, in an address
at the Dads" meeting of the
Truesdale School Parent-Teacher
Association last night.
Although more than a million
persons were enrolled in 1880 for
courses in vocational education
throughout the country, Mr..
Franks said, residents of Wash
irgton have not benefited by the
law. The extension of these priv
leges can De brought about only
through an act of Congress.
Mr.. Franks pointed out that a
program of vocational rehabilita-
ton under the terms of the act
was extended to residents of the
District last year. Inasmuch as
vocational rehabilitation and vo-
cational education go hand in
hand" Mr.. Franks asserted, the
benefits of vocational education
should also be extended to the
District.

Of the fiscal year whenever there
is shortage of personnel involved
in the request for funds in excess
of appropriations.
No additional funds for per

the Budget Bureau, SO far as a
given department is concerned,
as long as that department per-
mits its workers to enjoy the
Saturday half-hOliday, according
to the general Interpretation of
the order.
The Budget Bureau emphasizes
the fact that any departmental
head can deny the personnel of
his establishment the Saturday
half-holiday whenever there is an
emergency or urgent work to be
done
At least three departments have
appealed to the Budget Bureau
for permission to create a de,
ficiency" as the result of con,
ditions imposed by the Saturday
half-holiday law. but all of them
have been rejected.
