With 102 persons on the pay.

four associate directors, the
new Reconstruction Finance
Corporation got under way this
week with 10000 applicants
vainly seeking jobs with the

BY letter, telegram and per

Is occupying three floors, with
others being made ready for
them if needed.
Still Coming In
Applications are still coming
in, hundreds every day, but now
that a nucleus staff has been
chosen, the remaining hundred
expected to be needed will be
added carefully, it was indicated.
It is frankly stated that the
Jobs were awarded with due re-
gard to requests from Congress
men and others with political
influence.
Senators have called at the
corporation'S office in person,
while their formal letters Of REQ
ommendation came in great num-

Every State in the Union has
had its quota of applicants for

POSTAL CLERKS
DEMAND AID

The situation with regard to
substitute postal clerks here and
over the country is "deplorable, "
according to Thomas F. Flan erty,
secretary-treasurer of the National
Federation of Postoffice Clerks, in
an appeal to Chairman Byrns, Of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee, for safeguarding the rights
Of postal workers in mapping out
supply bills.
In Chairman Byrns' own home
town, Nashville, Tenn, there are
men who have worked six or
seven years as substitutes, and
still are awaiting appointment to
the regular force, Flaherty added.
Attacking the Postoffice Depart
ment'S restrictive Interpretation
of the 44-hour law enacted by
Congress last year, Flaherty adds:
"By q manipulation of sched-
uIeS and q lengthening Of hours
for regular employees, the sub
stitutes lave been deprived Of
the benefits Of this law intend
ed by Congress. Instead Of a
fOur-hOu Saturday, the clerks
are required to work six hours
in many large offices, and then
given two hours off during the
week when the time may not be
used to any advantage. We be-
Iieve this is viOlative Of the
spirit Of the law, and unfair to
the substitutes who ar> thus de-
prive Of work opportunities"

NURSE
GUARD 5000
DIR. HARGETT

The wedging of a workman in
a conduit under the Department
Of Commerce Building this week,
and his prompt treatment for
panic and nervous shock by the
departments own physician, DR..
M. v. Hargett, reminded that
here under one room are 5000
men and women liable to all sorts
of accidents and sudden illnesses,
and with one doctor and nurse
responsible for their welfare, even
for their lives in case Of emerg-
ency.
It is a rare town Of 5000 popu-
lation which does not have a
dozen doctors and variety of
nurses, both registered, and the
practical nurse type.
But the City of Commerce, the
$17,500,000 citadel on Fourteenth
Street, has one physician and one
nurse, and even though their work
is limited to accidents, sudden ILL
ness and health supervision, they
are busy people.
Mrs. Nobertine S. Overholt, the
nurse, had this full responsibility
in the old Commerce Building,
and she had her hands full. She
and DR.. Hargett now have miles
of corridors and hundreds Of Of
fices full of people and potential
causes of accidents to watch over.
DR.. Hargett, a Public Health Ser
vice officer, was loaned to the
department.

 It Is a case with unusual angles, Tn brief, 1t. is this: Walcott sold the car originally, to one A. Boisvert, on a conditional sales contract wherein the purchaser was to pay monthly instalments to Walcott before he could claim legal owner ship.
 The car, in February of this year. was confiscated by U. s. Fed eral Agents in St Albans, who found 1t carrying goods in violation of the Prohibition act. Walcott was notified of the 30 day exemption clause allowed him but he failed to act.
 Attorney John Membrino of Waterbury purchased the car from the Federal Agents and later turn
