BY WILLIAM F. KERRY
United TF-ss stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. - The
hungry cry of the political job
hunter is abroad in the land-and
wary Republican appointees are
running for cover.
Lights burn late and bright in the
senate and house office buildings
where haraSsed secretaries OF VIC
torious Democrats stagger under lit
orally tens Of thousands Of job re-
quests.
From the hinterland come reports
Of Democratic congressman fleeing
to the comparative calm OF the CAPT
tol to avoid the job-hunters.
They complain Of being awakened
in the. deep of night by enthusiasts
inquiring about the status Of the
local postmaStership.
Apparently, they seek the haven
of their Washington offices on the
principle that it is easier to refuse
a man by letter than over the
phone.
Thousands Of Jobs Open
The approaching inauguration Of
a Democratic regime after many
years Of Republican control will
make available to deserving party
members, thousands Of federal APP
pointments. Some estimate as high
as 25,000, but congressman and SEN
ators who Cu~ht to know say there
aren't that many. The prevalence
of unemployment further has stimu-
lated the applicants.
Most of the job-seekers would be
content with the local postmaster
ship, but some have ambitions
which run much higher.
One leading Democrat has dis
covered two potential ambassadors,
a cabinet officer ana a bureau chief
among his southern constituents.

Representative McClintic, Oklaho-
ma Democrat, who is chairman of
the house patronage committee.
Many Are Transferred
According to McClintic, the Re-
publicans are transferring large
numbers of federal employees from
the appointive list to the civil serv-
ice. He claims $50 were transferred
by executive order in one batch.
The Oklahoman at once rallied
other stalwart Democrats to the
cause and announced that as soon
as congress conveneS, he will intro
duce a resolution requiring all such
transferred employees to take a spe-
cial civil service examination. If
they pass, we'll and good; if they
fail, so many more vacancies.
When advised that Hiram Bing-
ham, defeated Republican senator
from Connecticut, had aSsailed his
plan, the congressman said he
didn't care about the quacking of a
lame duck"
It'll probably step on his own

EXPERTS FROM

BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD

Un1tcd PreSS stan correspondents.
Washington, Oct 18.-UP)-
The United States delegation to the
conference of experts drafting a
program for the world economic
meeting was to sail for Geneva to-
day, hoping to stress both restor-
alton of silver's value without en-
dangerous the gold standard, and
a boost in commodity prices.
The committee of experts will
meet October 81.
The delegation includes two
technical experts, John H. Will
liams, Harvard university profess
sor and Edmund e. Day, Rockfel-
Ter Foundation economist; and
four government officials, DR. Her.
bert Feis, economic advisor and
James c. Dunn, protocol officer Of

inaries on the great project have
already taken years. Actual con-
struction will probably occupy
another 20 years. The estimated
cost is between s75,000,O0O and
100000, 900.
Despite this tremendous cost in
time and money, the dam is ex-
pected to justify itself. For one
thing, 1t will SO regulate the flow
of the Nile that irrigation along
it's banks may be maintained even
in dry months. Two crops a year

sentatives are expected to stress
the following points:
/. Restoration of the value of
silver in relation to gold. The U. s.
congress, in appropciating for
American participation in the con-
ference, required that it should
deal with the silver problem. The
u. S. delegation will insist that no
measure of silver relief shall en-
danger the gold standard.
2. Raising of commodity prices
in relation to gold. This Is re-
garded as perhaps the most i'm
portant work of the conference.
3. Tariffs. The U. s. hass re-
fused to discuss tariff rates, but is
willing to talk about trade quotas
and discriminatory practices.

FREENESS Of AIR
ONE HAPPY BREAK
Average Car Consumes 7.
100000 Gallons Every Year,
Besides Tires.

It's happy circumstance for motor
lists that air costs nothing-even ths
tax collector missing out on his tithe.
The average" car consumes about
100000 gallons of it every year and
this does not include the air used for
Initiating the tires.
For every gallon OF gasoline you
burn in your engine, 10000 gallons Of
air is drawn through the air cleaner
and into the cylinders.
The 25000,000 domestic cars in op-
Grafton use 175,000 900 100000 gallons

director, in recent speech on The
Menace Of Road Dust"
The dust the motorist generally en-
counters on the roads is nothing more
or less than small fragments of crushed
rocks" Gray said. Particles of dust
float in the air and settle slowly under
the action of gravity. Air disturbances
tend to keep the dust particles in sus-
pension for lengthy periods. Certain
fine dusts fall at the rate OF less than e,
one inch an hour. Even on paved roads
dust condition exists"
