AAA FURL0UGH
AGAIN LOOMS
FOR STAFF
By 7. EARLE MOSER


Adjustment Administration, ac.
cording to indications.
The agency. which has been
periodically debating ever since
the Supreme Court crushed it in
January of 1896. is expected to
furlough a large portion-possibly
more than half-of the l,500-odd
workers who remain in the Old
Post office Building at Tenth
and the Avenue.
The blow will fall, according to
rumors among personnel that Of
ficials do not attempt to deny,
either on April IS or May l, and
by the end of June the original
AAA force is expected to be COM
pletely dismantled. The reasons
are that both work and money
are rapidly running low.
Figures on the exact number to
go as we'll as the exact date re-
main indefinite, however and the
sole admission which officials will
make is that the cut will be cen
tered in the Comptroller's Office
staff and the field offices for
the East-Central and Northeast
Divisions of the new program,
which are manned by workers
transferred temper lily from
dwindling jobs under the old set
up.
The situation is generally de.
plored by AAA officials, who can
not, however, help matters ma
terially. The majority OF the en-
ployes still remaining under the
old AAA set-up are those without
Civil Service status. Most OF
those who had such status have
managed to hook on with the
Social Security Board, and a few
have found isolated openings IN
other departments, but the AAA
employees who came in otherwise
literally find the door shut IN
every direction.
There is one hope for the cur
rent staff at present, it would
seem-the crop insurance bill in
troduced in the Senate. Passage OF
this measure would put many OF
the current AAA workers back to
work, probably permanently, and
at present it does not carry any re-
strictions providing for Civil Serv-
ice status of workers carrying out
its provisions. But as a ray OF hope
it CLEANS family, indeed, as the
current Court issue and the reor'
ganization arguments expected to
follow will probably hold Congress
attention for many months to
come.
Incidentally, the AAA's next ex-
pected deflation was predicted be-
fore the House Civil Service Com
mittee when it was holding hear
