ment for crippled children in
washington.
The District Of Columbia AS
ISOLATION for Crippled Children
and Disabled Adults today ask
ed for public cooperation to OBJ
tain a complete census Of
crippled children here.
In an effort to determine the
number Of manned children and
the extent of their needs, the
association is asking the public
to send in the names Of all
afflicted children, whether they
are under treatment or not.
Full Inquiry Planned

Of a thorough investigation to
be conducted by the association

termine their needs, to organ
ize community interest in the
problems of the disabled, to ar
range for orthopedic clinics, to
make parents acquainted with
facilities available for their
crippled children, to determine
the needs Of orthopedic and
hospital schools, and to create
a closer cooperation with the
Vocational Rehabilitation AsSo'
citation.
In asking for the cooperation
of the public, Mrs. B. q. Drake,
chairman Of the committee in
charge Of the census, asked for
information on the following
cases:
Children under 81 years Of age
who have any deformity Of the
leg, arm, spine, neck, or hip;
those who have any paralysis or
lack of muscular coordination;
those with even a slight curva-
ture OF the spine, and those with
heart trouble.

If you want to file a complaint
about violations Of NRA reguia-

young lady who was still attend

She's Miss Inez Warren, secre-

CIamor for Space in the New
POStoffice Building
Causes Problem

Various problems are growing
out of the Encouragement Of Of
fices projected in connection with
the occupation Of the new Post
Office Department building, and
it seemed possible today that mat
ters might be worse jumbled than
ever by the time the moving about
is completed.
The Post office Department ex-
poets to have the first five floors
Of the new building, but does not
expect to get into them until after
May /. Some of the other units
assigned there, however, expect to
move in before that time.
Space Assigned
The Indian Bureau, the Recla-
nation Service and the National
Park Service Of the Interior De-
partment have been allotted space
there, and the Home Owners Loan

siderable part Of the seventh and
eighth floors.
Present indications are that the
old Post Office Department Build
ing will be largely out Of use dur
ing the summer months, while it
is being remodeled. New heating
system, new elevators and possibly
q cooling system will be installed.
Quarters Sought
The CCC is counting on space
in the new building, and so is the
General Accounting Office, which
has already about 400 employees in
the old Post Office Building,
auditing postal accounts. If the
g. A. o. people cannot be accom-
modated In the new structure they
will remain where they are during
the remodeling.

for criticizing Secretary Wallace,
has retaliated by stating he
guessed he could get along" with

The ban came from aides of Sec

one Of a group Of diary industry
leaders gathered here, had termed
the Cabinet member unreliable"
other dairy leaders have also
been barred from the Agriculture
Department, it was learned, but
AAA officials have not made
their names public.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Brandt and
other executives Of dairy coopera-
tive marketing associations met
with members of Congress in the
caucus room Of the old HOUSE
Office Building last night.
Attacks on the new milk pro-
duction control plan of the AAA
were made, and resolutions de-
manding return to the former
milk marketing agreement policies
were read.
At the same time, AAA was
going forward with its scheme Of
popularizing the production con-
troll idea, by arranging for regional
meetings with producers in various
parts Of the country, at which
officials will attempt to obtain
support and suggestions.

Emergency Units Are Leaning
More Toward Civil Service
As Benefits Appear
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Experience is teaching the "go
getters" who have come into the
Government service with the
NEW Deal" emergency organiza
lions that although governmental
methods may seem slow and
cumbersome to the outsider, they
usually work out pretty well in
the long run.
The methods Of the Civil Serv'
ice, it Is now being realized, sue
ceed in getting competent and
efficient help for jobs Of the
most diversified type, and many
organizations which thought they
would do better to dispense with
it are now realizing that they
may have been mistaken.
New Schemes Bring Grief
Equally significant is the fact
that Government procurement
and accounting methods have
been given o pretty thorough
test Of late, and that where tried
methods have been abandoned a
lot Of grief usually results for
al concerned.
When the emergency organiza-
tons were set up last year they
were exempted from the civil
service regulations and permitted
to seek help wherever they would,
Two Of them decided at once to
enlist the aid Of the Commits
sion-the Tennessee Valley Au'
thority and the Agricultural Ad-
juEtment Administration.
Personnel Troubles Cut
In general, these emergency
units may fairly be said to have
encountered fewer personnel
troubles than any Of the others.
In agencies where political con-
alterations were the chief factor
In appointments, high turnover
has been the rule. 1ncompetentS
have had to be ousted. and tests
Eof ability are now almost uni
yersal.
So strongly has this lesson
been driven home that now many
appointments are being made
from eligibility and unemployment

sion, though the emergency
agencies are not required to con.
suit them.
Just as the Civil Service Com
mission has worked out a person
mel system which proves its value
in times Of stress, the General
Accounting Office provides q
check on Government expend1'
lures which has been Of inestima-
ble value in preventing waste.
The policies Of this agency are,
OF course, determined by law,
since it is charged with deter.
mining that all expenditures Of
Government funds may legally
be made. Recent experience has
shown that the Government
policy Of awarding contracts to
tho lowest responsible bidder,
now generally followed, is sound
from every point Of view.

Usually the cases are settled

an employer insists on disobey-
