Chairman Norton had more
than SO persons in her office yes
terday, insisting that she do some
thing for them about getting a
job. She had to tell them she
could offer no help.
Thousands of people have
sought Mrs. Norton's aid in get
ting jobs since the Democrats
came into office, and her mail
each day is loaded with similar
requests.
Mrs. Norton said she was thor
oughly sympathetic with people
in Distress but expressed the
belief that if they would take
their problems to community
heads instead of to Congress,
members of both Senate and House
would be better able to work out
a constructive relief program.
She said:
"It's not that I wouldn't like
to help. It's just that there is
nothing I can do. Many people
can't understand why they
can't get a Government job
and seem skeptical when they
are referred to the Civil Service

BUDGET BUREAU.
CITES DROP IN

All Branches of Government
Except Judiciary Affected;
$4O,000,000 Saving

President Roosevelt's order, re-
ducing the salaries of Federal
employees by an additional 62-3
per cent, is expected to become
effective for the payments due on
April Is.
The slash will affect every de-
partment, except the Judiciary,
and is estimated to effect q
savings of $40,000,000 for the
fiscal year which terminates
Cune 80.
In recommending a flat total
reduction of Is per cent under
original salaries, the Bureau Of
the Budget quoted figures from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
which show that living costs
have been reduced more than 81
per cent since 1928.
Food prices, the President was
told, have dropped 81 per cent,
clothing 81 per cent, rents "a per
cent, fuel and lights, 13 per cent,
and house furnishings 26 per
cent.
Civilian employees effected by
the order aggregate 100000 and
receive an annual compensation
Of $1,270, 100000. Under the law
the President is required to regu-
late pay schedules every six
months.

GAS HEARINGS
FACE DELAY.

Possibility that the hearings on
revaluation of the properties Of
the Washington and Georgetown
Cas- Light companies, scheduled
to begin Monday, will be deferred
for another month, appeared
strong today.
Engineers for the Public Utili-
ties Commission and the COM
panies have for the past month
been studying the problem, and it
appears certain the experts will
not be in readiness for the hear
ings Monday.
The hearings were scheduled to
begin a month ago, but were de-
ferred at the request of the COM
panies. At that time counsel for
the gas companies said they ex-
pected to prove the value of their
holdings is in the neighborhood
of $30,00O,00O, a figure consider
able in excess of commission esti.
