ton of which was authorized by

FIRST LEAVE
DECISION
BY J. EARLE MOSER

Expected for some time since
the Executive order making the
new leave provisions uniform was
issued to various Government de.
partments, problems on admins
tration Of leave are reaching the
General Accounting Office, where
Acting Comptroller General Rich
ard N. Elliott must pass upon tech.
nicalitieS and unusual situations
Fostering executive officers.
The first problem requiring q
G. A. o. decision has cropped up
in the Interior Building, where the
National Resources Committee
found it didn't quite know what to
do with the case Of an emergency
roll stenographer whose. health
had required frequent sick leave
since January and which finally
forced her away from her desk
from April through May 3.
Her total sick absence was
greater than the amount Of leave
she could accrue up to the closing
date Of her appointment, June 80,
1887, and the commission pay roll
bore a notation asking If sick leave
could be granted beyond that date.
It was also pointed out that If the
30-day emergency sick leave pro.
piston could be granted, with q
little annual leave tackled on, she
could be paid and still have slight.
ly more than four days of annual
leave left when her appointment
expires.
The request to grant sick leave
beyond the possibility Of its &C.
crual was denied because the
employe was an emergency
worker, but the proposal to add
sufficient annual leave to make
up the difference was allowed.
Until A. G. o. is advised of the
amount Of annual leave to the
stenog'S credit, and the amount
she can have under her Offices
administrative regulations, how.
ever, the pay roll voucher re.
NAMED uncertified.
The decision, while not start.
ling or unexpected. clears up one
phase Of leave possibilities in re-
gard to emergency personnel.

SOIL PROGRAM
ESTIMATES
DIFFER !,

Less optimistic than his own ex-
perts, Secretary Of Agriculture
Henry A. wallace expressed belief
today that farmers will give be-
tween IS and 80 per cent co-opera-
ton to the new soil conservation
program.
Scanning q report Of depart
mental and division heads estl-
mating that between 4,500,O and
5000, 900 farmers would participate
In the program this year, as COM
pared to approximately S,5OO,OOO
participating in the Agriculture
Adjustment Administration pro
gram 1T its peak Of 1895, wallace
said:
'T think they are Overestimat-
ing"
He placed his estimate at 50OI-
900 less than that in the report.
Participation of between 1000
900 and 5000, 600 farmers, he said,
would not disturb the depart
ment's budget providing for pay
ments to farmers for transferring
acreage from soil-depleting crops
to soil conserving crops and for
sol -building practices. -
The report, presented by j. Z.
Hutson. head Of the northeastern
States division, estimated that IS
per cent of the nations farm pro
ducers of major food and feed
crops-corn, wheat, oats, rye,
potatoes would participate in the
program; 80 per cent Of the
tobacco, cotton, peanuts and. rice
farmers. and go per cent Of the
specially" crop producers-in-
GLIDING sugar beets, sugar cane
and flax.
On this basis, wallace said, 49,
100000 acres would be diverted
this year from the major food and
feed crops to soil conserving crops,
leaving about 236, 100000 acres
planted.
.eThis would be slightly higher
than the 1885 planting. The
yield last year, however, on
major food and field crops was
about 10 per cent less than
normal. If there is q normal
yield this year, three would be
a 10 per cent increase in pro-
duCtiOn."

Safer Driving Month
Urued by Oil Official

Endorsing the "Lubricate For
Safety Week" to be held May 1880,
the Sun Oil Company's district
manager, J. c. Carley, suggests
this move be followed by o
months ''drive for safer driving"
He said:
"WhiIe fabrication plays q
greater part in car safety than
many realize. The fact remains
that fundamental safety rests
with the brains behind the wheel.
A properly fabricated car pre-
vents excessive driver fatigue,
but major responsibility rests
with the driver"
