VALUATION BUREAU
FACES 90 PCT. CUT
$50 of 952 Employees in

Their Jobs.

Approximately $50 Of the 952 en-
ployes of the Valuation Bureau Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
lose their jobs If the 80 per cent cut in
the appropriation for this work, recon-
mended by the Senate Appropriations
Committee, is approved, 1t was learned
today.
The cut in the appropriation, ac-
cording to the commission, also would
practically nullify work that has cost
the Government more than s42 900 900
since 1918, one member Of the commits
sion declared
The Bureau of Valuation, established
by act Of Congress in 1918. is charged
with establishing the value of the
property OF all railroads in the country.
for rate-making and financial orgari-
zation purposes.
Cut by Three Agencies.
Estimates OF the I. C. c. for the work
OF the bureau for the next year totaled
S3,554368, and the Budget Bureau cut
this amount to s3233231. The House
Appropriations Committee reduced it to
S2'1o0,OoO and when the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee got through
with it only s75O,OOO remained to carry
on the work.
ms drastic reduction is vigorously
opposed by the commission, according
to Commissioner Ernest l. Lewis, in d.
rect charge of the Valuation Bureau.
Commissioner Lewis said there has
been no plan for reorganization of the
bureau in the event the drastically cur
talied appropriation is approved, but
lnolcated 1t would be impossible to carry
on the work of the bureau, in keep
ing the commission supplied with cur
rent valuations Of railroads, under the
reduced appropriation and the curtatled
staff.
Reaches Effective Point.
He explained the work of the VaIu-
alton Bureau has Just reached a point
where 1t Is able TO give the COM
mission, on go days notice, the current
valuation Of any railroad property in
the United States.
With constantly changing prices en-
tering into the situation, the values OF
railroads, particularly at this time, are
changing rapidly, with the result that
the Valuation Bureau is literally up
to the ears in work" according to Lew.
He pointed out the Valuation Bu-
reau'S work is required by the law that
created it. but the law cannot be COM
piled with under the reduced staff and
appropriation.
Most of the employees who would go
under the proposed reduction would
be employees trained over long num-

The flier advertising for

other than the original seven
year-old Columbia, which already
has couple of flights across
the Atlantic to her credit-Clar-

Captain Boyd has established
himself in a suite in a Man

Nurse Applies
So far the only eager and
serious applicant for the vacant
seat is 22-year-old New York
nurse, who is spending the day
raising the money and hunting
up personal references.
The girl who is trying so
hard to go too, will not pay
for her rather expensive passage.
She has apparently sold the
idea to a firm of silk manu-
facturerS, who, for the considera-
ton of having their name
blazoned on both sides of the
ship, are willing to send the
adventurous girl as a proof to
the world of the excellence of

SECURITIES MARKET
STARTS new WEEK
IN HESITANT MOOD
Prices Rise at Opening, az,
Then Slump But Later
Show More Firmness

New York, May 9.-(R-securities
markets started the new week in a
hesitant mood Monday.
Weekend trade surveys failed to
provide any fresh stimulus and spec
ulative attention was still riveted on
washington. Despite the cautious at
titude toward the market there re-
manned an undertone of better senti-
ment, carried over from the upturn
of last Friday.
Prices Of shares worked slightly
higher in the first hour, eased off in
the late morning and stiffened again
after midday, ruling slightly under
Saturdays close by early afternoon.
Rails and utilities had an interval
of heaviness. Among issues selling off
to points were New York Central,
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Peoples
Gas, North American, Public Service
of N. j. and American Telephone, but
there were some fractional recoveries
by early afternoon. Eastman was a
soft spot, off 3 at the lowest. u. S.
Steel sold off fraction, then recov-
cred. General Motors was about
steady. Trading was in small volume.
The outstanding item of corporate
news for the day was General Mo-
tors report of April sales, showing
sales to consumers in the U. S. of
81,573 cars, an increase from 48,717
for March.
Closing prices were largely un-
changed to q point lower. with few
wider losses. The closing tone was
somewhat heavy. Transfers were only
about 100000 shares.
