5000 MORE Jobs
DROPPED BY j. S.
February Report of Civil
Service Brings Total Re-
duction to 799,930.

Government employment continued
its downward trend In February by
reduction of 5000 workers, bringing
the total to 799,930, the monthly re-
port of the Civil Service Commission
showed today. Concurrently, the pay
roll was reduced a little more than
100000, dropping to sl22,664, 1876.
The reduction in employment took
place in the field, an increase of $50
bringing the Washington total to
112,304 In the field, the decrease
was from 693,066 to 687,626.
The employment increase here was
in the old line agencies, both the So
called New Deal and the relief groups
falling of. In the field, cuts were
general, particularly in the New Deal
and relief establishments.
Apparently because Of the criticism
directed against the Resettlement Ad-
ministration, which critics have
claimed was overstaffed, the report
said approximately $500 of the 1851
administrative employees in the field
service of the Resettlement Admins
tration are engaged in rural rehabili-
tation loan and service work among
the approximately 100000 destitute
low farm families, comprising
slightly more than 100000 indi-
viduals."
The report also showed more than
4,100 employees previously carried on
resettlement rolls had been eliminated
from this tabulation because they were
on projects and not doing administra-
tive work.

HOLDS GRAND Jury.
ALSO IS AFFECTED.
Garnett Believes Decision
of Court Puts Ban on
U. S. Employees.

United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett said today he has come to
the conclusion Government employees
may not legally serve on grand jurieS.
This question was left open by the
decision of the United States Court
of Appeals last week declaring un-
constitutional the Districts new jury
service law in its application to trial
juries.
Garnett and members of his staff
have conducted an exhaustive research
into past decisions to determine
whether the principles laid down in
the Court of Appeals ruling apply
with equal force to grand jury service.
They reached an affirmative con-
clusion.
This application of the law, it was
said, may affect some 40 pending
cases, although it is expected indict-
ments will be challenged by only
small percentage of defendants since
objection to the indictments on which
they are being held would result
merely in reindictment
advantage of the defect in the compo-
sition of the grand jury is limited
by another law which states that
pleas in abatement-which is the
manner in which the legal point must
be raised-must be filed within 10
days before or 10 days after pre-
sentation for arraignment, officials
stated.
According to the Governments con-
struction of the law, this means many
defendants indicted by grand juries
which included Government employees
may not now raise the question since
the statutory period for filing pleas of
abatement has expired.
Twenty-three persons have been ar
raigned within the past 10 days, plac-
ing them in position to challenge
the indictments holding them, it was
said. In addition, there are about 10
cases In which persons charged have
not been apprehended, and less than
10 others in which defendants are
waiting arraignment.
One of the major indictments which
may be affected by Garnett's stand Is
the huge oil royalties mail fraud case
involving IA defendants. Only four of
these, however, may file pleas of abate-
ment. since the others were arraigned
several months ago.
