fixed by Congress for care of the

today.
A warning to this effect was included
hg Welfare Director Elwood Street in
a plan for dismissal of 125 members
Of the staff Of the Public Assistance
Division and for making the remain-
ing relief organization a permanent
part Of the regular District service.
The Commissioners have agreed to
dismissal of the 125 employees because
Congress limited administrative costs
chargeable to District revenues to
100000 for the new year and also
have approved Streets recommended
ton FOR reclassif1cation of the remain-
ing 174 employees of the division for
regular Jobs in the District service.
officials today were perfecting this
plan to be sent to the Civil Service
Commission with a request for i'm.

Salaries to Ee Affected.
The move to bring the emergency
unit into the regular service on a re-
classified basis-which would mean
higher salaries for some Of the work.
ers who are in lower-pay brackets,
and demotions in positions for some
others-was an acceptance by the
Commissioners that relief is perma.
nent District responsibility.
When District relief appropriation
funds for this fiscal year neared ex.
haustion April l, some 400 cases were
dropped. Those continued were deemed
in the unemployable class. When the
Federal dole was stopped last Novem-

said.
5000 Cases, Is Estimate.
Miss M. Alice Hill, relief director,
estimates there are approximately
5000 cases now on the list.
Because of the limit on the relief
funds generally, Street said the ap-
preparation would provide for about
4,12o families during the new year on
an average relief grant of $50 Q
month.
This will necessitate limiting the
relief program to strictly unemploy-
able cases." he said.
Subject to Approval.
The whole plan for q permanent
relief organization is subject to ap-
proval, first by the District Personnel
Board, headed by Maj. Daniel J.
Donovan; then by the Commissioners,
and finally by the Civil Service Com
mission. The Commissioners late yes.
terday approved the plan in principle.
At the same time the Commis-
s.oners agreed to the findings sub
mitted by Elwood Street, welfare
director, that 125 of the 285 employees
handling emergency relief must be
dismissed effective July !.

Nail Taken From, Lung Of Boy

removed from his right lung by the
use Of q bronchoscope. The opera

It was learned that the operation
was performed with o jackson bron-
choscope with the aid Of biplane
fluorscope. The nail was In the lower
part of the right lung.
The huorscope, 1t was explained, Is
not always used In bronchoscopic
operations. In this case it permitted
the surgeon, in the manner Of an
X-Ry, to see inside the lung and to
attach the forceps to the nail.
The Jackson clinic would not say
whether the operation on the Rogers
boy was considered unusually difficult
or merely routine. Hundreds Of bron-
choscopic operations have been per-
formed there. A medical authority
said the time required is not neces-
sarily an indication Of the difficulty
Of the operation since the skin Of the
operator Is an essential element In

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-Weary
members Of the Resolutions Subcom-
mittee Of the Democratic National
Convention met today to go over the
draft Of the Democratic national plat
form.
Members Of the subcommittee in
sisted that there was no bitter con-
troversy over planks, despite the fact
that they had been in session for
nearly eight and a half hours last
night and early this morning and had
not completed their work.
The platform will not contain q
recommendation for q constitutional
amendment, members Of the sub
committee said. It will declare for
the fulf1llment Of the New Deal social
and economic principles within the
framework of the Constitution as it
now stands. However, the door will
not be closed to support of q consti-
tutional amendment If it becomes
necessary.
Senator Wagner, chairman of the
Resolutions Committee, was an hour
late reaching the meeting of the sub
committee. 1t had been planned to
report to the full committee by noon.
This has been changed. The full
committee is slated to meet at 3 pm.
and hopes then to have before it the
report Of the subcommittee and to be
able to submit the platform to the
convention tonight.
Wagner Is Optimistic.
Senator Wagner insisted the plat
form would be ready for submission
to the convention at tonight's session.
The administration draft of the plat
form. apparently, had been subject to
sharp debate in the subcommittee. Also
there was an insistent demand to cover
new matters not contained In the
original draft and to amplify or modify
subjects already treated.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
keep the campaign document as brief
as possible. One member Of the sub
committee said that ut could be read
in 20 minutes" If 1t Is Of such pro-
portions. the platform will be longer
than that Of 1882.
Question Of Phraseology."
Members Of the subcommittee de-
MED this morning as they were going
back to work that any serious con-
troversy existed In the committee over
any Of the planks.
Its just question Of phraseology, I"
said one Of the senatorial members.
He confirmed the report that there
would be no constitutional amend
ment proposed.
The language of the currency plank
gave the subcommittee q good deal Of
trouble. An effort is being made to
