RELIEF IN DISTRICT
Week More Will EIapse Be-
fore All Applications Here
Can Be Checked.

Applications for relief have been filed
by 700 washington unemployed, &C
cordirg to figures compiled this morn
ing by Leroy Halbert, director of the
District of Columbia Unemployment
Committee with headquarters in the
old Metropolitan Methodist Church at
John Marshall place and C street.
Yesterday was the first day since
Monday, when the headquarters was
opened, that every person who called at
the relief office was permitted to file
his application. During the first two
days the crowd seeking relief was so
great that Mr.. Halbert had to turn
away large groups at the end of the
days business. The number seeking aid
today was considerably less than any
previous day and indications were that
the Relief Committee could begin to
catch up on its work.
Mr. Leroy Halbert said, however, that
with only 10 field workers, at least a
week will elapSe before all the ap-
plicants can be checked.
Il am afraid that lot of people who
have appealed to us for aid will begin
to get impatient, but after all we can't
Just hand out our resources here with
out first making sure that the real
needy persons are getting it-and, too,
that those who get help are our own
Washington residents" Mr.. HaIbert
said.
The director added that emergency
cases are being relieved by the use Of
grocery slips which entitle unemploy-
ment victims to food stuffs.

With the furlough feature of the
economy law again in a tumble in sew
eral Government agencies because OF a
problem arising where both the legisla-
tive furlough of "a days and admins
trative furloughs of varying lengths
must be applied, the heads of the es-
adjustments concerned today were
awaiting a reply from Controller Gen
eral McCarl to the appeal for recon-
sideration of the decision that has
caused the present difficulty.
The controller general ruled that the
legislative furloughs, which are man
datorv throughout the Government
must be taken before any administra-
tive furloughs-designed to keep agen-
ciss within appropriations and at the
same time avoid dismisSalS-may be in

Reconsideration Request.
The request for reconsideration went
forward to the controller general yes
terday from Thomas E. Campbell, pres
ident of the Civil Service Commission,
one of the branches principally af-
fected and the opinion was expressed
today that an answer would be forth
coming early next week in order that

with the legislative furlough, which
averages two days month.
Five-Day Week Schedule.
President Campbells communication
to the Controller General also asked
that the flve-day week schedule,
inaugurated in few instances to absorb
the legislative furlough, be considered
to comply with the economy act, and
that the pay deduction under this ar
rangement be held to 1-3 per cent, or
one-twelfth of a years wage, the same
as for any other method of administer
ing the legislative furlough. Under
McCarl's ruling, the five-day week
workers would lose one-eleventh OF their
pay, Just as do per diem workers, but,
as it was pointed out today, those groups
on this five-day basis are only applying
it a maximum of 43 weeks, which makes
the required total Of "a days

those branches where the flve-day
schedule is in effect would continue
