on File.

A large proportion Of the 500 en-
ployes of the Division of Applications
and Information under the $4,000
100000 work-relief program face
custer or absorption by other bureaus
because of the necessity of reducing
an over r-ponderous staff.
Two elements are responsible for
the over-staffed conditions. One is
the slowness with which the work-re-
other was the early swamping of the
Office by letters in response to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's radio appeal Of April
%, outlining his relief program and
inviting expressions from the public.
Forty-f1ve employees of D. A. I. were
laid of yesterday and it was said to-
day that unless the situation changes
only a skeleton force will be retained.
Project Rush Dwindles.
The early rush of applications for
projects has ceased. In the two
months that the division has been

OF the divisions work. One third of
its allotments went for direct relief.
When Frank C. Walker was ap-
pointed head Of the division. q large

There was no reason to expect, at the

The handful of clerks and other
employees to be retained will remain

in the local liquor law. which struck a
snag at Senate hearings last week,
may be reported out by the Senate
District Committee with a modified
amendment on the controversial ques-
