Workers Sought
For Part-Time
Federal Jobs
WPB Is Looking
For Hundreds
Of Specialists

Pointing to new influx OF
workers in the Government serv-
ice, the Civil Service Commission
today was ready to receive ap-
plications for part-time employ
ment in any category, an an
nouncement last night stating
that this unusual procedure was
made necessary by the difficulty
encountered in recruiting suff1-
Gent numbers of full time quail
fed personnel.
This step, it was said, is not en-
tirely without precedent, as some
temporary workers were used in the
Veterans Administration in World
War I.
At the same time, the commission
said that many hundreds of pro-
duction and materials control spe-
cialists must be recruited" for the
new controlled materials plan of the
War Production Board, and that a
Nation-wi drive would be inaugu-
rated to enlist these specialists
whose pay will range from $4,000 to
$500. The employees will be as
signed to the board and the War
and Navy Departments, and other
war units.
Dual Job Restrictions.
The part-time employment plan
is being started in Washington, but
will be extended to the field. Per-
sons gainfully employed on full
time employment either in Gov
eminent or private industry are not
eligible for the part time work. The
dual compensation law probably
would prevent any Government en-
ploye from taking on added duties,
as the holding of more than one Job
is prohibited when the combined
rate of pay exceeds $4,000 annually.
Agencies will be permitted to hire
part-time workers only when their
needs cannot be filled from regular
registers.
The commission said that there
is particular need now for stenog-
raphers and typists, at Sl.440 an
nually; tabulating machine opera
tors, s1260-S1 ,440; messengers, ST.
200-$1 1920.
Part-time appointments will be
for year, but may be extended.
Employees will not have leave priv
ileges, nor will they be eligible for
retirement benefits. They may,
however, qualify for full-time ap-
pointments.
Limit on Working Hours.
Their working hours will be
limited to three-quarters of regu-
lar tour of duty and the working
schedule must be fixed before they
enter on the job.
Appointees will be paid under the
regular Classification Act scales,
with compensation regulated by the
number of hours worked.
In outlining the scope of the drive
for production specialists, the COM
mission said that among the groups
urgently needed are persons with
industrial or engineering experience
in the fields of copper, aluminium,
carbon steel, alloy steel. machine
tools and machinery production:
electrical and communications
equipment: transportation equip
ment and engineering materials,
such as plastics. rubber and con-
struction materials.
These employees are to assist in
the allotment of critical materials
going into military and essential
civilian supplies and equipment.

Seated in an armchair with his
feet raised high on a footstool to
relieve the vein Inflammation left
in the wake of tularemia, Dr. Arm
strong recalled how he and his as
sistant, Harry Anderson, had gone
to their laboratory when call
came from Annapolis for informa-
ton regarding the disease which
already had claimed several lives
there and was threatening to spread.
About all that was known of the
mysterious parrot fever in 1880
was that French veterinarian. No
card, who had worked with it in
the Paris epidemic of 1902, had
claimed it was caused by bacillus
which he called bacillus psittacosis.
Rushing to Annapolis, DR.. Arm
strong had secured a dead bird and
scrapings from the cage Of a sick
one. Using healthy parrots, he and
Mr.. Anderson fed the cage scrap
ings to some and inoculated others
with mashed tissue from the dead
bird Almost Immediately they had
parrot fever aplenty in their cellar
laboratory. Almost Immediately
too, they discovered that the dis
ease was not caused by a bacillus,
as Nocard had believed, but by a
virus infection.
Knew They Risked Death.
Fully aware of the fact that they
were playing with death, the two
men worked on, hoping to discover
some cure.
Within three weeks Mr.. Anderson
had contracted the disease. While
he lay in Naval Hospital burning
with fever and racked with head
aches, DR.. Armstrong proceeded
with his scientific investigations
His superior officer, DR.. George Nc
Coy, director of the HYGIENE Lab
oratory, took Mr.. Anderson's place
over the protests of his Office force
who claimed that generals should
direct, not fight, battles against
| death.
Using Mr.. Anderson, who was rap
idly growing worse, as a part Of
their experiments, the two doctors
went ahead with their investigation
Luck was with them and within 8
few days they had discovered tina,

Their discovery came too late tt

died February 8, just day after
