ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

30 you are thinking or coming
to Washington. Lots of people do
it. Some are only visitors, and
some are here to wheedle special
legislation out of Congress, but
you are coming to work in the
government
If yoa have telegram saying q
job is waiting (imagineD, you have
little to worry about, but without
previous arrangement, finding a
job in no eineh. am not saying it
cannot be done; people are doing
it every day. But people are also
failing to do it every day, and il
you ere not armed with something
more sthan will, you might not
find a way.
There are no jobs going begging
in the Nations Capital. Such O
condAion is quite possible in the
early-Aays 5f an administration
but the President Is now on the
last lap"of q stretch conventionally
terminated at the end Of eight
years. New undertakings will have
little chance without war or
some other dire emergency. No
town us good on the tail-end of q
boom.
1t costs more to live in Wash
ington than in any other city in
the u. S. This is not conjecture,
but a proved fact. Clothes cost
about the same as elsewhere, but
it takes a few more of them.
Women do not need nearly so
many evening dresses as they had
hoped II you are man you will
not have to worry about tuxedo
unless you have lot Of important
connections. In that event, OF
course, you will not be troubled
with the problem of finding job
either
What about salaries? You have
heard Of the sumptuous incomes OF
Omen and other high-powered
government agents, but these are
not grabbed off by the stranger
who comes to the Capital looking
for a job. The garden variety OF
workers may get only hundred
dollars a month, and often less.
That is not much in Washington.
Educ ational facilities are The
best that money can buy. 1t takes
money to buy them, yet they are
not out Of reach if you have job.
You will not find board and room
for the same price you would have
to pay at teachers college al
home, but classes are arranged so
the student may take courses In
the evening or early morning. That
fits in perfectly with your job.
It all hinges on that job. Yon
will have no money to waste on
frills, but you can get by. Your
problem Is to find something to do.
II you have any particular ability.
you may find the struggle fairly
easy. II you can hammer out 70
words a minute on a typewriter
and take 80 or so in shorthand,
your chances are good. To get by
on anything else you may have
learned at school, you must be out
standing. College degrees are not
rareties in Washington.
Last but not least, do not come
without plenty Of money to see
you through a long siege without
an income. 1t is barely possible
that you will not need it but re-
member, it rs long way to Wash
ington-and q long way back.

STOCK PRICES
SLIP FURTHER;
TRADING QUIET
Early Steel Declines Are
Mostly Erased
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 0N.S0.
The stock market displayed an
easy tone today in a continuation
Of the uncertain trend Of the last
few sessions.
Prices slipped further through
'he first hour. A Steadier tend
ency developed toward midday
and some losses were cut. Price
changes were largely fractional
and trading quiet.
NICKEL PLATE STRONG
There were a few issues that
bucked the trend. Loft went to
a new, high in active dealings.
Nickel plate preferred was strong
and the common higher. Mer-
chandising issues were steady
Johns Manville and Union Car
bide were higher.
Early declines in steelS, running
to nearly a point in Crucible, were
mostly erased. Fractional losses
ruled in motor shares. Aviation
shares were under scattered pres
sure at the start and then steadied.
RAILS OPEN EASY
Rails opened easy and then
firmed up. Utilities showed
steady undertone.
Among the larger losses were
declines of a point and more in
Goodyear, Allied Chemical and
Cerro de PaSco.
Commodities were dull, cotton
steady and grains mixed.

WALLACE ASKS
PACKERS CURB

0.N.SD Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace today sought early
action by Congress on a proposed
bill to strengthen the packers and
stockyardS act.
Aroused by the fact that efforts
to revise the act previously have
failed because of introduction of
pet amendments by members of
Congress and various interests,
Wallace urged that his proposal be
considered alone.
Sweeping power to refuse to
register or license a market agency
or individual dealer who previously
was personally responsible" for
violations of the law, was sought
by Wallace.
He explained, in a letter to Con-
gress, that under present law per-
sons found guilty of flagrant vio-
lationS while employed by a firm
can go into business for themselves
and obtain a license. Also, he said,
Wnen a corporation Is suspended
the officers can go into business
as individuals.
Other changes would put the
burden Of proof on market agencies
in rate hearings instead Of on the
Government, as at present; would
permit the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture to suspend new schedules in
volving higher rates for nine
instead Of so days; would
require packers to furnish "satis-
factory evidence" of financial re-
Sponsibility, permit complaints for
reparation and ease the manner in
which individuals can recover for
damages. =
