ment of Jobs.

Several hundred employees of the
Home Owners Loan Corporation here
are being dropped from service, due
to the decentralization of activities, it
became known today.
The exact number to go was not
Immediately known, but was said
roughly to be about 200 or 300. This
amounts to something like tenth of
the force.
The decentralization program has
been in process for some time here, due
to the fact that the collection work
formerly centered in the Washington
Office Is being distributed now to IL re-
gional Offices in various parts of the
country.
Not Enough Posts for All.
Several hundred members Of the
local staff have been sent to these
field establishments, but there were
not enough places to care for the re-
mainder of the surplus.
All Of those who are being dropped
are getting two weeks notice.
Only those who had previous service
in some agency under civil service
have reappointment status, and few
are in this category
These now are eligible for places on
the Unemployment registers of the
Civil Service Commission, which serve
both civil and-when called upon
non-civil service establishments.
Parks Workers Laid Of.
About 100 regular per diem park
workers also have been laid off until
around the middle of March. due to
the reduced funds, c. Marshall Fin
nan, superintendent of the National
Capital parks, announced today.
At the same time the park chief
declared the work week for 100 other
park employees has been cut from five
days to four, effective Immediately,
on the basis of an eight-hour work
day.
Continually the Federal Government
is adding to its park acreage in WASH
ington and vicinity, said Finnan, with
out corresponding increase in funds
for maintenance Of the park system.
The National Capital parks now has
less money per acre with which to DO
maintenance work. he explained, than
in the Summer, when park work is at
its height and larger forces are en-
ployed. Although the regular paid
park workers are now joining the
ranks of the unemployed, under the
Federal Emergency Relief Administra-
ton set-up. $50 unemployed workers
are being supplied to Finnan's Office
for work in the parks. These are be-
ing utilized on various projects, some
of them those on which full-time
workers would ordinarily be assigned.
At this time of year, Finnan de-
clared, there is a seasonal lay-off of
park workers on per diem basis, but
he conceded that the present lay-off
is greater than that of last year.
The park superintendent foresees no
payless furloughs for Office workers,
believing his organization has suffi-
cient funds for the balance of this
fiscal year to carry the personnel on
full-time basis.

PAROLE BOARDS
STAND UNCHANGED
Wider Powers for Commits
sioners Opposed if Own
Decisions Affected.

The District Parole Board will con-
tinue to oppose enactment of the sug-
gested bill to increase powers Of the
Commissioners if it is to mean the
latter could overrule the board In de-
cisions on any pending parole case.
This statement came today from
Wilbur La Roe, jr., acting chairman
Of the board, and was in response to
a report that he was. prepared to
withdraw his opposition to the bill.
La Roe also stated definitely he
would resist passage Of the bill if it
was to mean that politics could be
injected into the selection of the staff
of the Parole Board.
Defines Satisfaction Limits.
The Parole Board spokesman said
he was not concerned over the matter
of giving the Commissioners power on
occasion to decide questions of ad-
ministrative policy, such as matters of
publicity on parole cases. He said the
board now must submit its rules and
regulations to the Commissioners for
approval.
"The Commissioners already have
this general administrative power of
veto or direction over actions of this
board" La Roe said. But we must
insist that the independence of the
Parole Board be maintained as to the
granting or denying of parole, and we
must oppose any change which might
be interpreted as permitting any
political influence in the selection of
the staff Of the Parole Board.
Conferences Recalled.
II believe these questions should be
very clearly understood before the bill,
rs it now Is drawn, reaches the point
Of adoption"
La Roe asserted that from confer
ences he had had with Commissioner
Allen, it was not the intention of the
Commissioners to gain power to over
ride the judgment of the Parole Board
on the granting Of paroles to prisoners
He said he merely wanted to make
sure that the proposed law was so
written as to make this point legally
sure.

Production schedules Of the au-
tomobile manufacturers have been
reduced either by strikes or by a
somewhat diminished public de-
mand for cars to the point where
the May output of new cars and
trucks will do well to total 100000
units. This will contrast with the
100000 units production planned
as the month began.
The May output will compare
with 447,546 units turned out in
April, the largest production
month since April. 1880, and will
represent a slight gain over the
351,813 machines turned out in
May a year ago. The decline from
April production totals will amount
to 20 per cent and will be the
