Good NeWs and Bad
500 LOSE JOBS,
1000 EMPLOYED

With the start of the new fiscal
year, about 500 Government en-
ployes have been dismissed from
the service, it was revealed today,
while at the same time PWA has
hired about 1000 persons.
Those dropped from their jobs
were mainly in positions paid from
general relief funds. These ap-
propriations ended under the new
law which earmarks appropria-
tionS.
About $50 were dropped from
the General Accounting Office
and between 300 and 400 from
the Labor Statistics Bureau. The
Public Health Service and the
Treasury Department also dropped
a small number of employees.
Agriculture furloughed about rs
persons, but this was explained
as being due to seasonal slump
and they will be placed back at
work later.
It was expected that PWA will
engage another 1000 workers for
jobs in field offices throughout
the country in addition to the
1000 placed on the rolls here.

Lieut.. Joseph Shimon, who

TT is hard to write with re-

this editorial. The facts are
simple enough: There are
millions of dollars in the new
PWA lump-sum appropria-
ton as approved by Congress
which the District of Colum-
bia can get simply by asking
for the money. And the Com
missioners of the District,
whose business it is to ask

perfected a process which would
transform cellophane to the con-
sistency of tin. Gait, quick to
see the enormous possibilities in
such an invention, agreed that
Everett had something there.

Everything was going fine when

a check for $l00, and asked to
