Y. Agricultural Adjustment Admin
4stration's next big purge will
occur Jure IS, officials indicated
today.
At this early date, official fig
I..ures Of the number to 60 are moi
available, but the fourth furlough
slicing effected by the agency
= since the first of the year may
possibly reach the 200 mark.
Three sections seem fairly sure
Ito be hit heavily in the final cut
5+of the current fiscal year. The
Wheat, Cotton and Corn-Hog Con
tract Clearance sections, each OF
which has so employees who sur
-.Viyed the February machine gun
ming, will have most of their
work cleared UP by that time and
will offer juicy targets, although
some of their personnel may be
lucky enough to receive transfers
elsewhere.
~ The three units were last re-
4duced in February. officials said,
when 100 workers were let out In
the second of AAA's mass dis
missals.
:. Other furloughs will probably
-be issued here and there" it was
indicated. and the usual two-Week
notice will be in order, those re-
ceivlng the ominous sheets actu-
ally leaving the service June 80.
.. AS in the past, the next cur
tailment will be based on eff
.ficiency ratings, which are due
to distribution May IS at A. A. A.
along with all other Government
tagencies. A. A. A, however, inSti-
'tuted special efficiency ratings
by special dispensation on
March 81 in order to effect its
most recent furloughS, and the
III employees in the Office of the
Comptroller in the Old Post Of
lice Building who received the
special ratings and survived the
recent cut will not be rated again,
according to officials.
RIALTO THEATER-Fans at
this establishment can't get
enough of the golden voice Of
David Manley. A. A. A. Conserva-
ton unit employee.
Manley has agreed, beginning
Sunday, to return to sing more
tenor ballads accompanied by
Pearl Hauer on the organ. He
has been appearing at the Rialto
for the past fortnight, scoring a
signal success and collecting ear
splitting applause.
:, CORRECTTON-Recently in an
nouncing the A. F. G. E. libel suit
against the N. F. F. E., it was
stated that the N. F. F. E. had
sued the group which rebelled
against its majority decision to
leave the A. F. L. in 1882. This
was an error. The action was
taken against the N. F. F. E. by
the COMMITTEE on reaffiliation'
in 1882, after a referendum OF
N. F. F. E. members had shown a
majority in favor of quitting the
A. F. L. The error is regretted.
