Hope Offered
AAA Clerks
On Hill
BY J. EARLE MosER

Employees Of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, in the
midst of their worries over fur.
loughs, forced decentralization to
Southern States, and attempts to
find jobs elsewhere in the Govern
ment, are offered some measure of
hope by resolutions for dealing
with AAA personnel that have
been introduced In both the Sen
ate and House.
The resolutions, written almost
identicAlly, have been presented
by Representative Charles I. Fad.
dis D) Of Pennsylvania, and Sen,
ator Ellison D. cotton Ed'' Smith,
South Carolina Democrat. If
enacted they would protect the
Jobs OF . majority of those who
toiled under AAA before it faced
the Supreme Courts firing squad.
Senator Smiths resolution,
which has been referred to the Sen,
ate Committee on Agriculture and
Forestry, reads:
RegOIVed.. that notwith-
standing any other provision of
law, the Secretary of Agriculture
iS authorized and directed to en-
ploy, in the city Of Washingtpn
and in the field, the present per.
SOM ell (including furIOughed
personneD Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration in
carrying out the provisions Of
sections to IA, inclusive, Of the
soil conservation and domestic
allotment act, in the work of
hquidating the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, and In
the administration of the cation
price adjustment program ipSti.
tpted under the agricultural ad-
juStment act, as amended,
whether or not any of these func-
tionS are carried out through the
Extension Service, the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economies, or any
Nther agency in the Department
Of Agricplture."
It is hoped in employe circles
that speedy enactment on either
the above resolution or that of
Representative Faddis will be
forthcoming. as it is unquestion-
ably the only fair treatment that
can be accorded workers who
have served faithfully and eff
ciently. Many, lacking Civil Serv-
ice status, have almost no chance
of securing other jobs elsewhere
without a tremendous hookup OF
pull"
Doors Closed

nation regarding the pending

Unfortunately, as stated In this

School is crowded to capacity with

be accepted until after the Civil
Service exam has been completed.

tions of principle to gathering which

declined to disclose his whereabouts
