FEDERAL WORKERS
CHECKED TO AVOID
UNEQUAL LEAVES
Chiefs of Veterans Admins.
tration Warned to Provide
All Same Chance.
ORDER ANTICIPATES
REDUCTION LEGISLATION
Some Dissension Manifest Due to
Early Vacations Taken by
Some of Employees.

In anticipation Of. legislation to re-
duce all annual leave of Government
workers to is days after July /, in
structions were issued this week to
division chiefs of the Veterans Ad-
ministration to make sure that employees
taxing their annual leave now are not
given an advantage over those who
have not yet applied.
The instructions were issued, it was
explained, In order to provide a fair
apportionment of leave to each en-
ploye to whom vacation is due.
Division chiefs were warned, therefore.
to take into consideration any portion
OF leave employees may have taken
already, so that in no case after July
10 shall any vacation period exceed Is
days.
Authority Not Questioned.
Since the annual leaves are entirely
under executive control, no question
of lack of legal authority to make such
adjustments in anticipation of legis-
lation not yet enacted is involved.
Some dissension is manifest among
employees of the bureau, however, since
some of the clerks accustomed to taking
vacations early in the year already have
received 80 days leave, or in the case
Of others 20 days.
Those who have taken 20 days. It
was explained, would not be entitled to
any more vacation prior even to July
l, the end of the fiscal year, since that
would give them an advantage over
employees who have not yet applied for
leave
In the event Congress does not pass
the drastic legislation curtailing annual
leave for Federal employees. however,
those being allowed fraction of va
cation due them will be permitted to
take the balance later on.
Majority Affected by Rule.
Since most of the employees OF the
Veterans Administration are accus-
toned to taking their vacations in June
or later, it was said at the bureau, the
great majority of them are affected by
the ruling.
At the General Accounting ONCE, it
was learned, the controller general
has issued an order discouraging the
taking Of annual leave at the present
time. and only those who find 1t abso-
lutely necessary to take leave are being
excused.
In other Government departments.
including the Department of Agriculture
and State Department. leave has been
limited to Is days. with applications
considered in the order in which they
are filed Still other departments are
