dent bolster verbal instructions with
an executive order to restore to posi-
tions several hundred persons who
have been dropped since the separa-

sion.
$3.50 Are Listed.
At present this list contains about
5000 names and in addition the COM

The extent of the local unemploy-

Naturalization Service employees. who
have been dropped. About LOO re-
