PAYROLL
100000
Roosevelt Bosses Add
Army of Workers
BY New Agencies

Going up!
More than 100000 additional
employees in the executive branch
of the Federal Government.
An increase Of 81 per cent in
personnel and about S. per cent,
or, roughly $45,OOO,OOO in Uncle
Sans pay roll.
That is the record of the Roose-
velt Administration since March
4, 1888.
All of this increase in personnel
and more besides, has gone into
unclassified positions, mostly po-
litical appointments in emergency
agencies. Civil Service Commis-
sion figures show that whereas
456,096 Government employees
were classified when the RooSe-
velt Administration took office,
there are now but 455,264 in
classified positions.
Forward Pace Steady
Increases in both personnel and
pay rolls have gone forward at a
fairly continuous and steady
pace throughout the three years
and have been varied little by the
pay cuts and reStorationS during
the period.
At the time the Hoover Admin
istration turned the reigns of gov
ernment over to the incumbents
the 563, ,487 persons then employed
in the executive branch of the
Government were receiving a
total of approximately seventy
million dollars. This figure is an
estimate, since the first pay roll
figure available at the Civil Serv-
ice Commission is for November,
1888, when the total was ST, ,309,-
801 and at that time there were
about $4,000 employees on the
rolls.

show 77O,128 employees in the

A freak out-of-season hurri.
cane that swooped out of the
north, stabbed at the Bahamas
Islands, and then veered sud,
denly and crafty on a bee line
for the southeast Florida coast
line, today menaced the popu-
lous winter resort cities Of
Miami and West Palm Beach,
the smaller Fairgrounds be-
tween, and the southern Lake
0keechobee area.
Authorities at Miami, fear
ing a recurrence of the dis.
astrous hurricane Of Septem-
Der A, in which more than 500
persons lost their lives, ordered
evacuation of the Florida Keys.
A fleet of trucks sped south
ward into the islands from
Miami and Homestead to re-
move approximately 500 in
habitants.
Relief trains stood in readi-
ness for word that would send
them into the interior to bring
out inhabitants of the Lake
Okeechobee region where more
than 1000 were drowned in the
hurricane and tidal wave of
1928.
Tidal Wave Feared
With the wind blowing directly
across open water, a tidal wave
was feared on the coastline and
in the interior at Lake Okee-
chobee.
At noon today the Jacksonville
weather bureau ordered hurricane
warnings hoisted on the Florida
keys. The warnings were changed
from storm to hurricane proper
tions from Miami to Key West
and up the west coast as far as
Naples.
Apparently out of the path of
the bowling storm, which bore
almost directly southwark toward
the Bahamas Saturday night and
Sunday, the Miami-West Palm
Beach sector became the target
for the hurricane when, without
warning, it swerved abruptly
westward during the night.
Startled residents of southeast
Florida'S winter Fairgrounds arose
today to find the barometer falling
rapidly, winds increasing in veloc
ity and hurricane warnings dis
played from Miami north to Stu
art.
Prepare for Storm
Storm warnings were ordered
displayed from Titusville south
