Efforts OF the UnlJeQ FeQeTal
Workers to combat the current

partments and agencies will go I'M
supported by older organizations,
it appeared today.
More conservative groups have
taken the stand that militancy
against retrenchment at this time
might hurt the cause of employees
in general" one spokesman de-
clared, adding that Government
employees would be placed in the
position of opposing balancing of
the budget"
Even the wiping out of any hope
for promotions during this fiscal
year will not bring a fight from
old er organizations, it appears,
their officers having assumed the
view that the economy plan now
being pursued is the least painful
pill to swallow. They point out
that failing to fill vacancies at
least won't effect those who now
have jobs.
Meanwhile employees of Rural
Identification fear they will be
forced to bear the brunt of any
retrenchment in their agency.
The REA was given 81 100000 for
administrative purposes, but the
Budget Bureau has informed REA
that this entire amount is prop
erly susceptible" for cutting, and
a one-tenth slice in personnel
looms for the little agency'S staff
unless some remedy can be found.
About 80 per cent of the funds
used by REA go toward expenses
that cannot be slashed. The
agency uses is per cent, approx
naately, for travelling expenses.
and because it is sponsoring an
increased number of field projects
this branch of expenditure is ex-
pected to grow rather than de-
crease. Another Is per cent goes
toward rent, supplies and miscel-
lally, but rent is a fixed charge
and any reduction in supplies will
hardly make up the desired 10
per cent.
Thus the savings would appear
to he headed for an inroad into
the 10 per cent devoted to expense
of personnel, which will result in a
ban on promotions, a policy of
failing to fill vacancies and posi-
bly, a definite staff reduction.
Some axing has already been
done, despite the Presidents state
rnent that he intended no firing.

ing it carefully.
The secretary of agriculture. un-
der McAdoo's plan, would set a
reasonable" price on crops and de-
termine how much would be need
ed for domestic consumption. This
would apply to cotton, a current
problem and a substantial export
crop.
The secretary would also set up
a corporation to take over surpluses
and sell them in the foreign mar
ket or to American manufacturers
at prices permitting the. finished
product to compete with foreign
goods. Farmers would receive the
profit.
McAdoo believed the plan would
benefit the textile industry and in

Francisco Franco laid claim to

In addition, Franco controls 64

Contrary to earlier reports which

the Nationalists appeared first in
tent on merely holding their posi-

from the Aragon front in eastern
