WILSON ASKED
To COORDINATE
D. c. RELIEF
Commissioners Seek Plan on
Citizens Advisory Unit to
Speed Up Work

George s. Wilson, director Of
the Board of Public Welfare. to-
day was asked by the District
Commissioners for the formation
of a citizens advisory council on
relief work in the District.
The Commissioners, in a letter
signed by DR.. Luther H. Reichel-
derfer, president of the board,
asked Wilson for his opinion Of
the desirability of such a group
and said that points on which an
opinion are wanted include the
size of the council, the groups to
be represented, methods Of selec-
ton and general suggestions.
The action Of the Commission
ers is in reply to a suggestion
made some weeks ago by a group
of representatives Of local welfare
groups that coordinating COM
mittee of citizens be formed to
work with the Walfarc Board.
The citizens suggested that the
plan would, by making the rec
ords of the various groups mu-
tually exchangeable, lessen the
work of investigation OF appli-
cants for relief and would other
wise speed up the dispensing Of
aid to the needy. .
It was also felt that the council
would enable both the public and
private relief agencies to operate
more efficiently by reducing the
amount of machinery needed to
handle welfare work.

CAUSES
AUTO CRASH

Horses aren't always "dumb"
animals, H. E. Simmons, Of Rem
ington, Va, discovered yesterday
while bringing a horse into Wash
ington in a truck.
Near the tourist camp the
horse, either because he was tired
of standing up or wanted to get
a better view Of the city sights,
"tried to jump into the front
seat" with Simmons, he told park
police.
Finding the horse beside him
instead of in the back of the
truck so unnerved Simmons he
lost control of the vehicle and
crashed into a tree in East Po-
tomac Park. Damage was slight.

SCHOOLS DREAD
NEW SLASH

School officials admit they
are baffled over the problem Of
living within the proposed
slashed school budget for 1884.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, commenting
on the bill now before the
Senate District appropriations
subcommittee, today said:
"HOw we are going to get
around the budget is beyond
me-"
The school budget obviously
will suffer a serious curtailment,
he said, and although school
officials are making no plans
for living within the slashed ap.
preparation until the bill IS
passed, they are actually at a
loss to know what they can do.
School officials are faced with
a cut of approximately $780,
900, which will probably involve
a. curtailment of personnel and
the complete elimination of all
building projects.

SWEAT SHOP
AT HEARING
Shaw, in Retirement Protest,
Sees Bureaus Undermanned;
Steward Flags Program

Leaders of organized Federal
employees today appeared before
the House Appropriations def
cheney subcommittee to protest
against proposed retirement Of
Government workers after 30
years of service and to present
optional plans by which econo-
mics may be effected.
Luther c. Steward, president OF
the National Federation Of Fed
eral Employees, told the commit
tee that any policy adopted now
will have a long range bearing
on the future personnel of the
Government service.
For Voluntary Plan
He declared that if the 30-year
retirement proposal, suggested as
a rider to the independent offices
supply bill, becomes a law, young
people will not enter the Govern
ment service, but will look else
where for employment.
He proposed that retirement be
made voluntary after 80 years
and that Congress grant to the
President the power to retire en-
ployes as individuals; that is, to
select those to be retired rather
than those to be exempted.
Steward also suggested that the
voluntary retirement feature be
extended and the President be
given the right to retire employees
who have served IS years, if they
desire, but, Of course, with less
annuity.
"Sweat Shop" Charged
John Arthur Shaw, president
Of the American Federation Of
Government Employees, declared
that the Federal service is under
manned and that employees are
operating under sweat shop con-
ditions."
He urged that all dismissals
be stopped and that the Govern
ment absorb persons who are let
out due to aboliShment of bu-
reaus and other Government
agencies.
He advocated optional retire.
ment and said that if dismissals
are to continue Congress should
provide a dismissal wage for
those not subject to retirement
:-lnuitieS.
FurlOughs Urged
James H. Windsor, chairman Of
the Plate Printers Union, urged
the subcommittee to effect econo-
mics by administrative furlough.
Patrick j. O'Neill, national sec.
retary of the United National AS.
sociation of Post Office Clerks of
the United States, told the sub
committee that if there had to be
compulsory retirement, it should
be fixed so that employees could
work until they were 60 years of
age.
William r. Valance, president
of the Federal Bar Association,
pointed out that if the 3O-year
provision is enacted, the Govern
ment will lose many of the key
men in the legal division of the
various departments. He said pro.
fessional men became more val.
liable with experience.
Green Represented
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
did not appear but was repre-.
sented by William V. flushing,
legislative representative, and
heads of many organizations Of
Federal employees affiliated with
the federation.
Several members of the sub
committee were reported today
as favoring an amendment which
would permit Federal employees
to retire voluntarily after 80
years Of service, instead Of fore
ing their retirement except at
the discretion Of the President.
