ment.

Job seekers continued to storm
the newly organized Federal Hous-

sixth floor of the new Post office
Department Building, but none
profited by the visit.
1t was pointed out again today
that application blanks are not
yet ready and the personnel divi.
sion will not be ready to fill va

Despite previous announcements
that the bureau was not yet func-

have filed in the corridors, making
it necessary for guards to be called
from other Federal buildings to
maintain order.

'OGPU'
SPIES ACTIVE

Amateurs are chiseling in on
Washington's OGPU, the secret
100 traffic observers named by
Major Brown to make anonymous
reports of traffic violations.
When the weekend reports from
the OGPU were received today,
seven out of 80 came from those
outside the favored 100. One Of
these signed himself "519-ex Leav-
enworth 1876"
All of the violations reported
today were for reckless driving
and speeding.
It was announced that any
driver about whom two reports
have been received will be sum-
moned to the Traffic Bureau and
given a severe lecture.
Most of those reported for week
end violations were taxicab drivers.

Last May 5 Mr.. and Mrs
Douglas Free, newly married,
started out on a "See America
first" honeymoon-a romantic
rambling through the 48 States of
the Union.
The couple, now visiting the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Lawrence, of Capitol
Heights, Md, have seen 26 States
and found plenty of romance and
scenery.
But the high lights of their tour
have been neither. AS they have
travelled from State to State they
have found themselves becoming
more and more absorbed in the
economic and political situation
of the country.
Says Mr.. Free:
"YOu can't travel through the
country at time like this and
not realize that you are seeing
a change in an entire economic
SyStem-hiStOry, political and
otherwise, in the making"
Mr.. Free is a Canadian and, he
says, a conservative by nature.
But:
"There isn't any use closing
your eyes to things. From what
I have seen and heard / realize
that a drastic change in our
social system is inevitable if our
civilization is to persist"

cost them $40 in addition to the
20 per cent penalty.
