today.

the Budget Bureau, has issued a

cies" during the remaining months
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
GOnnelS are to be sanctioned by
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 de,
ficiency" as the result of con-
ditions imposed by the Saturday
half-holiday law, but all of them
have been rejected.
