ACTION ON BRIDGE
SEEN BY JANUARY
GotWaIs Hopeful Contract for
Calvert Street Span Will
Be Let by Then.

Hope that the contract for construc
tion of the new Calvert Street Bridge
over Rock Creek may be awarded prior
to January l was voiced today by En-
gineer Commissioner Gotwals after re-
viewing the present status of plans for
the span.
Maj. GotWals conferred recently with
member of the firm of MadjeSki, Mas
tiers g. Chase, engaged by the Commis
sioners to draft plans for the span. He
said he has hopes the final working
drawings will be completed December /.
Immediately upon completion of the
advertise for bids and probably will set
a period of 20 days for receipt of pro-
posals from contractors.
The engineering firm has informed
Maj. Gotwals it might require three
months to complete plans for the
bridge, but since the Fine Arts Com
mission has given final approval to the
rendering of general plans, the Com
missioner hopes the work now can be
speeded considerably. Much preliminary
work already has been done, he said.
Doubts Further Squabble.
Commenting on reports from one
quarter that the bitter contest over the
type VI t3oSe ul4Sllt Ue Ieilc"eu "ueLI
Congress reconvenes if the contract is
not let prior to January l. Maj. Gotwals
said he had no reason to believe such
a fight would be renewed
That is all water over the dam,
now" he declared. And so far as I am
concerned if such a question is raised
again shall fight for the plan as now
approved by the Fine Arts Commission. "
This plan calls for a masonry bridge
of three arches. Maj. Gotwals orig
inally favored a single arch steel span.
but the Fine Arts body decisively ruled
this out and this decision, the Engineer
Commissioner said today, is accepted as
final by the District.

Metal window Corporation has suspend
ed operations on three Government
building jobs.
The window corporation ordered its
men to cease work rather than put on a
double shift of iron workers, with one
crew working in the morning and an
other in the afternoon.
The General Bronze Corporation pre-
viously had shut down its work on Gov
ernment operations rather than put in
the split-shift. Labor leaders estimated
that both of these companies were en-
blowing not more than 20 men alto
gether. although there were other in
dications the number was somewhat

bABC0CK DEMANDS
PERMANENT BASIS.
FOR TRANSFERS
Acts to Halt Practice of Put
ting Workers on Temporary
EmpIoye Status.
LEAVES FORCE SUBJECT
TO INSTANT DISMISSAL
Policy Denies Those Moved to New
Posts Their Sick and
Annual Leave.

An effort to halt the practice Of Gov
ernment Departments in putting on
temporary employment basis those
workers transferred under reorganiza-
ton moves is being undertaken by the
American Federation of Government
Employees, it was said today by E.
Claude Babcock, the president.
Babcock's statement was made after
he had conferred with Arno B. Cam,
merer, director of the newly formed
establishment of national parks, build,
ings and reservations, where several
hundred workers have been put on
Temporary basis with the consequent
loss of all leave privileges.
Active Workers Affected.
EMPLOYEES in a number OF agencies
have been affected likewise, and IN ao-
dition to the loss of leave status they
are also subject to dismissal without
anv regard either to efficiency or 10
any preference they may have, Babcock
pointed out.
This condition arises by reason OF the
reorgan1zation order providing that IN
any agency affected the employees IN
yoiyed are automatically dropped from
service. Because diSmiSSalS have proved
neither feasible nor practical. aomlnl-
strative officers have resorted 10 tne
practice of carrying the workers on
Temporary basis and then making sep
hrations later as conditions warrant
Babcock said Cammerer informed him
-l4fnE under existing circumstances 1t
had not been possible to do other than
give the workers temporary status Az
the same time he was assured, he SAID,
that no dismissals are in prospect there:
This new service took over some 28OO
emploves of the old Office of Public
Buildings and Public Parks; approx,
matelv 400 from the former National
Park Service, and some from scattered
groups.
Another consolidation affecting
large number of employees was that by
which the immigration and Naturahza-
ton Service was formed.
Workers Denied Sick Leave.
It was in that case that Controller
General McCarl ruled that the tenn
pcrary status accorded these workers
would bar them from sick and annual
leave until they had received permanent
appointments.
Another shift yesterday put 20 en-
ployes engaged in claims work in the
Internal Revenue Bureau on tenn
porary status when they were trans.
ferred to the Department OF Justice. AT
the latter they are on 30-day ap-
rointive status, but are to get perma-
nent places at the end of that time.
The Department of Justice also is re-
tanning 40 employees here and 233 in
the field whose 30-day temporary ap-
pointments following their transfer from
the Veterans Administration expired
Yesterday. It has not been decided yet
how many of these are to be kept per-
manently. They also were engaged on
claims work, all of which is now being
segregated in the Department OF JUS
tice, instead of spread through other
departments as in the past.
The American Federation Of Govern
s6ent Employees is seeking where trans
fers are made to have the employees
carly their regular status.

After receipt of complaints from rep
resentatives of taxicab interests, the
District Public Utilities Commission
yesterday suspended one of a group OF
regulations adopted last month which
forbade the carrying of passengers on

hardship on large portion of the

permitted when the rear seats are occu-
pied by other fares.

The administration is continuing to
delay appointing new District Commis-

press conference today he has given no
thought to any of these appointments
as yet. He gave no indication of any
intention Of taking up the District situ-
alton at an early date.

Court judgeship and other positions.
