Washington Blue Eagle employers
will be urged to give any new jobs they
may award under their National Re-
covery Administration codes to Wash
ingtonians, If the plan which Thomas
P. Littlepage, general Of the Districts
N. r. A. forces, will present to his aides
Monday Is approved.
Mr.. Littlepage, who is president Of
| the Washington Chamber Of Commerce.
said today that at a meeting with his
staff officers Monday he will propose
| that the employment Of bona f1de
Washington men and women in prefer
ence to unemployed persons who may
have wandered into the Capital from
elsewhere be made the policy OF the
Presidents Emergency Re-employment
Campaign Committee for the District
Of Columbia.
Employment of Washington's own un-
employed, Mr.. Littlepage said, will 60
far toward reduction of the heavy bur-
| den Of unemployment relief which the
permanent residents Of the Capital have
carried for many months.
| Favored Dy ke1cneioerfef.
In making known his plan to aid
Washingtonians, Mr.. Littlepage revealed
that at least one District Commissioner
heartily approves Of such a course. DR..
Luther H. Reichelderfer, chairman of
the Board of Commissioners. wrote Mr.
Littlepage two days ago offering him. as
several suggestions. First among these
was a Recommendation of the course
which is to be proposed Monday.
Your organization" DR.. Reichelder-
fer wrote, will no doubt In the near
| future contact many Washington busi-
ness firms and many Washington citi-
ZenS as individuals. I am wondering
If it would be q good idea to give some
publicity to the desirabllity Of employ
ing, SO far as possible, bona f1de Wash
ington residents; under any circum-
stances, this could not, and probably
should not, go further than a sugges-
ton intended to relieve the burdens Of
unemployment relief now being carried
by District taxpayers"
The plan will be outlined to the local
N. r. A. organization chief Monday
and If they approve it, 1t will become
the work Of enfolding the entire Dis
trict of Columbia under the wings Of
the Blue Eagle.
Captains Are Appointed.
