|TSDEFECTS
Difficulty in Interdepartment
Communication ForeSeen
BY Some Bureaus

Although believing that traffic
congestion will be reduced by the
staggered hours" rule for District
and Federal employees set for April
IS by Commissioner Melvin c.
HaZen, a number of officials TO-
day expressed the opinion that in
accommodation among depart
ments may be hampered.
The fact that one department
may leave half an hour earlier
than another, blocking telephone
or messenger communication, may
prove a slight handicap, it was be-
lieved, although most opinions
held that the rule deserves a
thorough trial before any idea can
be obtained as to its value.
Aid to Traffic Seen
DR.. w. w. Stockberger, chief
of personnel at the Department
of Agriculture, said today:
II haven't had time to give
the idea much real thought,
but believe it will be worth
while if it will reduce the traf-
fic congestion. Actually,
don't like staggered hours per.
sOnaIly, because they invari-
ably interfere with intercOm-
municatiOn among depart
mentS."
TRY-OUT FAVORED
Edward Libbey, chief clerk Of
the Department Of Commerce,
held that the idea must be tried
thoroughly, saying:
"In regard to staggered
hours, it is impossible to say,
as they must be tried out. I
would rather not guess at their
effect.
During the war staggered
hours were put into effect and
a lot of confusion resulted,
but conditions aren't so bad
now. IntercOmmunicatiOn was
hurt at that time, and it is
likely to be at least hampered
now"
DIFFICULTY FORESEEN
r. Weed Harvey, administrative
assistant of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, OBJ
served:
"The intent of the new rule
is fine, and I believe traffic
conditions will be immensely
helped. However, some depart
ments may find it difficult
when they deal with each other.
That always was the objection
to staggered hours.
1--WE have $4,000 employees in
this city now, and everything
is speeded up. The aid to traf-
fic should justify it,"
Bradish Carroll, chief clerk Of
the National Recovery AdminiStra'
tion, declared he hasn't given
traffic conditions much thought
thus far, but that communica-
ton difficulties probably will be
the principal drawback, while j.
H. McEwen, chief of personnel,
observed that NRA is steadily
from the Commerce Build
ing and has not yet been Of
ficially notified of the plan.
Rule Is Necessity
Emphatic approval was given
by George C. Havenner, liaison of.
ficer of the Government Printing
Office, who thinks the staggered
hours rule is one of three neces-
stiles of modern CITY life,

COMP ANON IS
 OVERCOME BY
 COAL GAS FUME
Recent Arrivals Victims of Accident in Norland
 Forecastle
BLAME SMOKING STOVE
 FOR UNUSUAL DE ATH
Young M en Had Been Sleeping in Cabin of May
 or's Halibut Vessel

One man is dead and another is in a critical condition in St. Ann's hospital the result of being over come by gas fumes this morning from coal stove on the halibut boat Norland berthed at the Upper City Float.
 The dead man is Kenneth J. Jungquist, aged about 25, of Min neapolis and a former student of the University of Minnesota. His companion was Donald Church, about the same age, believed to be from the state of Washington. At the hospital it was reported the latter has an even, chance to re- cover.
 ForecastIe Tragedy
 The tragedy cccured in the fore castle of the Norland. Mayor Isa, dore Goldstein and Capt. Tom sandvik, joint owners of the. craft had permitted the two young men who were apparently without funds, to sleep aboard the boat for the past month. In reconstructing the accident, Mayor Goldstein said it appeared that one of the men had arisen and started the fire in the stove and returned to bed. The stove damper probably had been left closed and the smoking stove soon filled the small forecastle compartment with the deadly fumes. The cabin windows and door were shut tight, allowing no ventilation. Authorities declared the tragedy an accident, there being nc indication of suicide.
 Notice Smoke
 Capt. Sandvik and Casper Nor man were the first to find the men 6andvik had gone aboard the boat about o'clock to do some work aft. Later, shortly before Il O. clock, Norman arrived to see Sand vik and as they went forward Norman saw smoke coming from around the cabin door. The two men immediately entered. Church was lying on the floor still breath ing and Jungquist was in his bunk Dr. w. w. Council and pr. L. P Dawes were summoned and they called firemen with the inhalator For more than half an hour they worked over Jungquist in an effort to resuscitate him but he was ap- parently too far gone. His com panion was rushed to the hospita where hope was expressed the ef- forts made to same his life may prove successful
 Here About Two Months
 Mayor Goldstein said the two men arrived in town about two months ago. They approa chec Capt. Sandvik about a month ago and asked permission to sleer on the boat which was granted Both were clean cut young men who apparently ca me north ir search of employment. Jungquist had been on relief work, it is un. derstood. but is is not ascertainee that Church had been working.
 Identify Victims
 Identification of the victims wa! made by J. F. Campbell and vii. liam Cline of the Windsor apart. ment. who knew them both well Jungquist is reported to have { cousin, York Boreen, living at Bryr Mawr, near Seattle, and sister ir Minneapolis. c. w. Carter, of thu Carter Mortuary. where Jungquist'' body was taken. said effort woult be made at once to try and contact relatives.
 Little was learned of Church ana this afternoon authorities were ex. amining his effects in an effort tt learn his home address in Wash ingtOn.
