which would mean that clasSi-

basis would lose four hours work
and pay each Saturday.
& The director Of the Bureau de-
clined to make his attitude known
with respect to the possibility OF
such Saturday closing, but 1t Is
evidently under consideration, or
the question would not have been
raised in the submission to the
Comptroller General.

In the Bureau, however, only
769 out of 4,058 employees are af
Sected by the Thomas amendment
and many of the rest are paid by
The hour. They will receive, under
Mr.. McCarl's ruling, only the reg

I Determinations Charged
There have always been numer

the Bureau on the ground that
they had less favorable working
