Sunless Pay Day

Approximately 1920 guards,
charwomen, mechanics, laborers
and other cuStodial workers in
Government buildings, employed
under the National Park Service,
will go payless today because of
a deficiency in their appropriation
caused by several emergencies,
such as the Post Office fire and
the spring floods, which drained
the fund. Also 81 workers at
Justices taxes and penalties unit
will draw no salary, because their
work has increased after their
dismissals had been scheduled.
Congressional action on the first
deficiency bill is expected to iron
out the situation, National Park
Service officials said today, adding
that they 'regret the whole stu
alton terribly" and would transfer
funds from other appropriations
if it were legal, which it is not.
What makes the condition worse is
that the custodial force received
only five days pay on the first
Of the month, leaving them in des-
perate straits.

being trained for the Narragansett
Special. OF the so that can run in
