Interior Ruling Follows Nc.
Carl Precedent on Labor
Bureau.
WORKERS IN QUANDARY
OVER APPOINTMENTS
See No Federal Saving in Upkeep
and Permanent Status Might
Be Restored.

The Interior Department today def
nitely ruled that the 1000 employees
of the Office of National Parks, Build
ings and Reservations are entitled
neither to annual nor sick leave, dur
ing the period of their present tempo
rary status, up to 80 days, under the
Presidents reorganization program.
Under this decision, which follows
the precedent laid down by Controller
General j. r. McCarl in the case Of
workers in the Immigration-Natur
zation Bureau of the Labor Department
the department holds temporary en-
ployes are not entitled to sick or an
nual leave.
Some $500 Government workers in
the National Capital are affected by
the Interior Departments decision. The
department authorities, feeling the situ-
alton touching the park workers IS
analogous to the Labor bureau case,
did not feel warranted in putting the
question up to the controller general
Pay Expected Later.
The park workers feel that if they
are forced to take sick leave they will
be compensated later, when they are
urday night, all the park workers,
which includes those of the buildings
branch looking out for the Federal
structures here, and those of the Ma
tional Capital Parks. as well as workers
in the old National Park Service. had
their appointments revoked. In sup
Elemental executive order President
Roosevelt decided that all should be
given temporary appointments, with
the exception of the 81 positions
dropped. up to 80 days At the de-
partment, it was said today that if the
park authorities can effect further
| economies prior to the eo-day limit,
the permanent status will be restored.
The park workers. however, say that
they are in a quandary. because they
do not know how much additional
money Director Douglas of the Budget
| Bureau wants them to save. They
point out that inasmuch as the parks
/ in this city are kept up out of revenues
! paid by the District taxpayers. the Fed
! eral Government will gain nothing in
| its balance sheet by saving funds on
/ the local parks.
Vacations are Lost.
| A number of workers had planned to
go on vacation at this season. but in
| view of the no leave temporary
status, they will be unable to get their
vacations accrued time which they
| have already earned. This is consid-
cred as working hardship on many
/ employees, number of whom have
| been in the Government service as long
as 80 years.
Arno B. Cammerer director of the
| Office of National Parks, Buildings and
Reservations. Interior Department. and
his associates. have given no indication
OF just how they proposed to arrive at
further savings in the organization to
1 satisfy the wishes of Director Douglas
and so have the workers placed again
on permanent basis.

MISUSE CHARGED
IN RELIEF FUNDS
Friendship Citizens Demand
Probe of Committee Of
fiCiaIS Here.

Charges that emergency relief funds
for the District are being squandered
and misused and that officials of the
committee here are deprivlng local un-
employed residents of jobs by bringing
in their own relatives from other cities
to take executive positions. led the
Friendship Citizens Association last
night to demand an investigation:
Edward L. Hunter, secretary OF the
association made the charges, which.
he declared. were based on evidence
he had obtained in a personal survey
made of conditions. He was authorized
to present these facts to the District
Commissioners and to draw up reso-
luton asking them to investigate the
employment of outside workers.
Work Intended for Jobless.
Hunter and others at the meeting
contended that it was the intent OF
the law that the Emergency Relief
Committee should hire unemployed
residents of the District in connection
with local relief work. He claimed he
knew personally about many cases
wherein the spirit, if not the letter. OF
the law was being violated by officials
of the committee.
Purchase orders for food, clothing

city. Hunter charged. In some cases,
he claimed, influence was exercised to
obtain purchase orders for necessities
and that an investigation by the Com
missioners would reveal that purchase
orders, in some cases. are being given
to several members of single family
Citing one instance of reckless
souandering of relief funds" Hunter
charged that the committee is paying
an excessive Price to local store for
school children's shoes. Purchase orders
for S1.70 are being drawn on this store,
he claimed, when inquiries revealed
that the same shoes can be obtained
on the open market for SIPS.
The association, which held its first
meeting of the season at the Janney
School, reiterated its opposition to re-
coming residential sections on Wiscon-
sin avenue for commercial purposes.
Harry Friedman was reelected presi-
dent for his fourth term. Others cleo
ted were Samuel ]. Flickinger. first

A COLOSSAL INJUSTICE

This section of Lincoln county has
worked long and diligently in an en-
deavor to obtain from the powers that
be its fair share of the money appropri-
ated for highway construction.
First one thing after another has
brought disappointment. Money that
had been eagerly sought to improve
a highly dangerous section of highway
and that had finally been appropri-
ated for that purpose ended IN being
taken away from us. Month after
month and year after year passes and
still this beautiful section up here in
the northwestern part of the state re-
mains forgotten. We pay our thousands
of dollars each year into the gas tax
fund only to see our hard earned money
spent in building fine highways else
where and then. after those are built
they are torn up to build still better
ones In the meantime, we continue to
ride over the narrow, high and dan
gerous roads and over the rocks and
ruts and dust.
What has become of that old and
fundamental American doctrine that
taxation without a just return there
for is tyranny? The state forces us to
pay tax on every gallon of gas we
buy but it utterly forgets US when il
comes time to spend that money. Such
action smacks Of tyranny and colossal
injustice and is the thing against which
Americans have fought and died
But that isn't all of the tyranniral
