CHANGES IN BILL
AFFECT WORKERS
Sets Up Preferred List for
Those Dropped in Re-
organization.

Any employees dropped from Govern
ment bureaus in the process Of re-
organization would be given q one
year preference for reappointment to
vacancies in the Federal service. by
one of a series of changes made yes
terday in the pending reorganization
bill.
With the time approaching when
the Senate may consider the subject,
the special Reorganization Committee
made number Of changes, but Sena-
tor Byrd, Democrat, Of Virginia, lead
ing opponent of the original measure,
made known today the revisions do
not remove his fundamental objections
to the bill.
Other Amendments Made.
In addition to recommending a pre-
ferred status on the waiting list for
employees who may be let out, the COM
mittee made the following other
amendments:
Revived the proposal for q BIZ
partisan advisory board Of seven mem
bers to cooperate with the proposed
new civil service administrator in
working out personnel problems.
Provided for appointment Of the
proposed auditor general by joint
congressional committee instead Of
by the President, to make this omcial
definitely an agent Of the legisla-
tive branch Of Government.
Provided that when an agency is
transferred or consolidated with some
other agency, unexpended balances Of
appropriations would continue avail
able, but only for the same function.
Wants Commission Retained.
Senator Byrd reiterated today he
wants the existing Civil Service Com
mission retained, and took the view
that adoption of the advisory board
idea is an acknowledgment by sup
porters Of the pending bill that the
proposed one-man administrator would
need advice and assistance.
The advisory board would be ap-
pointed by the President and con-
firmed by. the Senate, and not more

the same political party. Advisory
board members would receive $50 for
each day the board Is in session, but
not to exceed $500 q year each.
The board would meet four times
year, but its authority would be
confined to submitting recommends
tions to the administrator, the Presi-
dent and Congress.
No Pre-Audit Power.
Senator Byrd also pointed out that,
although the auditor general would
be appointed by Congress under the
amendment. he still would be shorn

sessed by the Controller General.
whose office would be abolished.
The reorganization bill Is slated
to come up whenever the anti-lynch-
ing bill is disposed Of, but probably
will be preceded temporarily by at
least two pending appropriation bills.
The revised draft of the reorganiza-
ton bill was introduced late yester-
day by Senator Byrnes, Democrat, q
South Carolina, in charge Of the sub
ject, and will replaee the bill ~
ported last August.

West Jefferson And Ashe Hard
Hit By Severe RainstOrm Sun.

Considerable damage was done
here and throughout the county by
the severe rainstorm which flooded
the streets, highways, fields, streams
and even some houses last Sunday
afternoon.
The clouds over West Jefferson ap-
parently Opened up" and the wat
er gushed down in sheets, causing
the worst flood that has ever visited
here, and from every section of the
county this week came reports that
it was the worst flood since the
flood of 1916.
Creeks overlooked on the high
ways and, in many cases, blocked
traffic. Tobacco, corn wheat and
other crops were completely washed
off of hillsides. The farms Of Charlie
Holland, r. w. Hardin and Amos
GRAPHICAL, near here, were particu-
larly hard hit.
County Agent J. G. Rich and 9TH

dollars. No reports of bridges be-

ing washed away have been report
ed. Many young chickens and other
fowls were killed, though.
Several streets here looked like
rivers, especially the one running
from the depot down by the cheese
plant. A small wash house in the
backyard of the Tucker hotel was
demolished when a section of the
eight-foot brick wall around Judge
T. c. Bowie's residence broke after
the drains had become c1ogged and
water damned up to the top Of
it. Thousands of gallons swept
across the hotel yard and down
through town. The stove in the
wash house was carried some dis
lance by the food waters.
For the first time in history, wat
er ran into several stores here. Ar
thur Barker opened the doors al
the Jail and let it run through
there. Smithey's store was flooded
at the front. Engineers reported
slides along the Parkway as a re-
suit of the rain.
