R|OT SQUAD SET
FORD.C.REDS

A special riot squad Of IS po-
licemen was held at headquarters
today to cope with the proposed
demonstration of Communists at
the District Building, Major Ern-
est w. Brown admitted.
Major Brown, however, was
skeptical about the entire affair,
which has been branded as a
publicity stunt" by Communist
leaders.
Declaring that any move made
will "be nipped in the bud," Major
Brown said:
"The Communists only desire
to get publicity. They make
extravagant claims that 10000
will appear. If any appear it
will be only a handful, am
sure"
No permit for the demonstra-
ton has been secured, nor has
there been application for one.
The proposed demonstration is
said to be "a warming up" process
for a greater one on March 4.

Passage by Congress of the
Capper bill which would autho-

purposes is urged by Thomas P.
Littlepage, president of the

Pointing out that, although
the need is greater than ever,
funds available to Community
Chest agencies are less this year
than last, Littlepage said:
'"The District should at least
have the privilege Of borrow

when it is only by borrowing
that great suffering, distress

be prevented"

Program to Plan
d. G.. Works Urged

Necessity for a longtime pro

works was pointed out yesterday
in a report of Col. D. H. Sawyer,
director Of the Federal Employ

a joint session of the District
Commissioners and the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Colonel Sawyer declared the
personnel is now available for

JOB TRAINING
URGED ON j. s.
AGENCIES
Dr.. Wright Says Government
Facilities Can Be Put to
Use Bettering Efficiency

The United States Government
has facilities and personnel for
developing highly trained I'm.
ployes for every Federal position,
according to DR.. j. C. Wright,
director of the Federal Board
for Vocational Education.
Reminded that except for the
courses offered by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the Blu
reau Of Standards, no Federal
agency makes any effort to train
its present or prospective EN-
ployes, he declared:
"The Government, the biggest
employer in this country, has
an excellent opportunity for
making present employees better
and for insuring that new em-
plOye shall be competent from
the start"
Existing buildings, instructors,
facilities. and equipment would
provide this training, he believes.
Probation Period
The six months probation
period served by every person en-
tering Federal service could easily
be a time for vigorous training,
not only in the particular job,
but also in departmental work
ings and policies, the structure of
the American Government, and
even general subjects like eco
nomics and business administra-
ton. it is also contended by
Jealous Federal officials.
1t has been pointed out that
in the bulk of Federal jobs the
duties are limited, scope and pos
Sibilities restricted, and ordinary
intelligence and common sense
will suffice to "hold the job"
But, in DR.. Wright's opinion,
training would make such a rou-
tine worker more efficient, pre-.
pare him for higher posts and
for any work added to his pres
ent job, and would make him a
better asset to the office.
Educating the JObIess
The Federal Board of Voca-
tional Education carries on,
largely in cooperation with States,
educational programs and indus
trial training work, and of late
has been encouraging educational
programs for the unemployed.
1t apparently is the logical
agency to carry on a definite
system of Federal-employe train
ing, not only during working
hours but in late afternoons.
In some offices. it is true, such
as the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue., courses in tipping and Ste
biography are available to em.
ployes. The technical training
available at the Bureau of Stand
ards is meritorious, admits DIR.
Wright.
But the idea Of offering-or
even compelling-instruction for
all Government workers, men
toned at intervals during past
years, is today still just an idea.
More attention has been given to
the proposal of late.

SauS Mr.. PEBBLES

When a Government official
goes travelling on official business,
with Uncle Sam footing the bill,

South, on which he paid his en-
tire expenses and lost salary-time
doing it.

COUN TY SLASH
SEEN BURDEN

Arlington County. Val commits
sioners will be forced to not only
cut salaries, but to slash appro-
priations for necessary projects
and do away with some features
Of the county government, if they
comply with requests for a Is per
cent slash in expenditures, County
Manager Roy S. Braden said
today.
He added:
"Many Of the minor en-
plOyeS Of the county are paid
less than persons in similar
jobs in washington. Only q
few Of the higher officials sal
aries could be cut without
changes in present laws. If sal
aries are cut I believe the saw
ing would be so small as to be
nearly insignificant"
It was pointed out by the
county manager that such ser
vices as street lighting, garbage
and trash collection, road repair
and construction. public health
work, fire protection, policing,
and educational work would have
to be reduced in order to bring
about the saving asked.
County Auditor Elmer F. New
ell. when queried, said:
"a large portion Of the pro-
posed budget, which will shortly
be acted upon, is confined to
debt service. The outstanding
bills against the county, in the
form of notes and bonds, can.
not be cut"
