FHA BUSINESS
UP;;PERSONNEL
DECREASING

Although Federal Housing Ad,
ministration "is doing an increas
ingly big business each month, "
its grand total of $500 employees
Is being allowed to decrease by
natural means, officials revealed
today.
Because of the uncertainty as
to what new work may face the
agency during 1887, depending on
the action of Congress, the amount
Of appropriations to be granted
and the possibilities under gen.
eral Government reorganization,
vacancies within the FILA staff
are not being filled as they occur
This rule, it was said, is set
aside only when need is found
for a few additional experts, ap-
praisers and technically trained
employees.
October Low
Turnover at FILA reached a
new low during October, accord
ing to official figures issued by
the Civil Service Commission,
with a net increase of but IA in
field staff permanent and emer-
gency appointments.
At present, however, no major
staff reductions are contemplated
or anticipated, officials declared,
emphasizing that FILA insured
$50, 1000, 900 in mortgages during
October.
While mortgage insurance fig
ureS are expected to dwindle during
December and January, they are
expected to rise sharply in the
spring, when building activity
boomS.
Runs on Merit
The agency, it was disclosed, is
continuing to operate under a
personnel system based on lines OF
medit, similar to that set up fol-
Home Owners Loan Corporation
by order of President Roosevelt
shortly before the election.
Considered as one of the perma
nent emergency" agencies set ur
during the present Administration
all workers appointed after forma
ton of FILA early in 1884 were re
quired to take examinations. Eff
cheney is rated as in old-line civil
service bureaus and due to internal
political pressure an effort has
been made to keep positions dis
tributed among States in line with
apportionment quotas of the Civil
Service Commission,

Millions of Americans buy from

Increased Costs Held Avoided.
"Low-cost manufacturers, working
in combination with low-cost distribu-
tors, have brought low prices in many
lines of merchandise. 1t seems in
congruous that a Government. pro-
Tossing to stand for the masses of con-
sumers, could undertake to block such
an arrangement.
IF the decision should stand. 1t
would mean ultimately increased liv-
ing costs for millions of consumers,
decreases in the volume Of commodity
sales, and. in the case of the tire busi-
ness, total disruption of the whole
price structure, with. irreparable dam
age to tire dealers everywhere. Uni
versal application of the principles in
dicated in the commissions decision
would set back the wheels Of recovery
several years"
