Carl, Mr.. Roosevelt has amended
his Executive Order No. TOTO,
which was promulgated last June
to halt the practice by which EN-,

to another when offered q more

Among it's provisions, the order
stipulated that salaries Of work.

should not be increased until six
months after an employee h d
been with his new agency, and
then only after the White House
had approved the transfer through
submission Of the case to tn e
Budget Bureau.
These provisions have been de-
clared not applicable to WPA
workers and parttime emergency
employees in the new amendment,
made public yesterday in the Fed
eral Register. While interpreted
as still applicable to regular
emergency employees, the complete
absence Of hope for relief workers
to rise has apparently been re.
moved.

came to public attention when it
was discovered that q National

She told police that she was

thing from his pocket and told
her to give him the money and
get down on her knees. She told
him there was only a little change

Plus CONSENTS
TO CONSULT
SPECIALIST
Pope for First Time
Admits Condition
Is Critical
By FRANK GERVASI

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 26 GIN.
SJ.-Pope Plus, who throughout
his courrent illness had refused to
believe he was as sick as his
doctors had told him. today for
the first time acknowledged his
condition is critical and consented
to have a specialist called in to
examine him.
The specialist was called to find
a remedy in particular for the
pontiff's varicose veins in his legs,
which have been intensely painful
especially during the past few
hours. Name of the e.>ecialist was
not disclosed.
The Pope agreed to have q
specialist after being urged by his
private physician and old friend,
DR. Amanti Milano. and by Card
inal Pacelli, papal secretary OF
state.
Pope Loses Ground
The Vatican spokesman ex.
planned the move was no reflec-
tioa upon DR.. Milano, but that
something had to be done i'm
mediately" to alleviate the aged
pontiff'S suffering.
Still exhausted from the strain

Woe Christmas radio appeal for
peace on Thursday, the Pope was
believed in informed quarters at
the Vatican to have lost consider
able ground in what is now re-
garded as battle for life.
Hope that the Pope ever Will re-
cover from the paralysis that keeps
him bedridden and suffering has
been abandoned by the Vatican
household, an authority close to
the Pontiff said today.
The Pope's insistence on carry
ing out Christmas duties, follow"
ing the exertion of his world broad
cast Thursday left him weakened
and in pain. He told DR.. Mllanl:
81 am happy to suffer during
these days when we COmmemo-
rate the birth of the Saviour
who suffered for us. want to
suffer with dignity, and my
prayers are always to that end"
DR.. Milani showed great con-
Germ when the Pope revealed that
he had assisted in the traditional
three masses on Christmas Eve.
Tooth Extracted
He lay awake in bed for more
than an hour, his hands folded
on his breast, while assistants cele'
brated the masses in the nearby
private chapel. The Pope ordered
the door leading from his bed
chamber to the chapel thrown
open during the services.
The Pope's difficulty in pro
nouncing the letters "R" and IS"
during his broadcast, it was
learned today, was due to the fact
that DR.. Milani had to call in a
dentist and have one of the
Pontiff's upper incisor teeth re-
moved.
The extraction caused much
pain and discomfort, it was stated.
but resulted in no serious i'll ef'
fects.

She also brought back a lovely

SEAMEN PLAN
P|CKE7S FOR
CONGRESS
Leader Curran Says
discharge Books
Mean Blacklist

NEW YORK, Dec. 26 GN.SO
Plans for picketing Congress as a
protest against a proposal to pro
vide American seamen with "con
tinuous discharge books" were an
nounced today by Joseph Curran
leader of the East Coast maritime
strike.
Curran said that it was not the
boks themselves that the Seamen
objected to, but to the methods
proposed for keeping account OF
their activities. He said:
Each book will have num-
ber, and the number of every
man who comes under the wrath
of the shipOwners will be circu-
lated among the ship lines with
notes on his character, thus
building up a legal blacklist that
eventually will smash the sea-
mems unions. No good seaman
is afraid to carry his record on
him, but this proposal ties us
down so firmly that a good sea-
man, if he has any mind Of his
own, will soon have no record at
ALL"
The proposal for discharge
books is supported by steamship
owners, who have declared that
there will be no penalties except
for those who are incompetent.
