US. Hiring Rate Drops
In Capital, With 1851
Net Gain in August
TotuI Executive Agency
Force Is Reported at
us, 1862 Persons

Rejecting sharp decline in the
hiring rate, the Civil Service Com
mission reported today that the net
increase in employment here in Au-
gust was 1861, bringing the toal ex-
ecutlve agency force to 275,3 1862.
Actually about $500 new employees
were added. as 1900 went out of the
city in the decentralizat ton program
1t has been more than a year since
such small growth was reported.
In War and Navy, where the
monthly hiring figure has been in
the thousands, the August increase
was only 936 and 572 persons, re-
spectively. There were scattered
gains elsewhere. Public Buildings.
Works Projects and Veterans Ad-
ministrations showed small de-
creases as did the Bureau of Plant
Industry OF the Agriculture Depart
ment.
Payroll Up 100000.
The August payroll of $48.124 1886
was approximately 100000 over the
July figure.
Approximately 100000 persons
now are employed here by War and
Navy alone, where the totals in
round figures. are $1,000 and $4,000.
In the last World War, the employ
ment peak for all agencies APPROX
imated $4,000.
National employment totals for
August will not be available for sew
eral weeks.
House Inquiry Sought.
In the meantime, a move Was
under way in the House for an in
qulry into the Federal personnel sit
ration. A resolution was introduced
by Chairman Ramspeck calling for a
study by the House Civil Service
Committee to determine if agencies
were employing their forces to the
best advantage and if the rate of
hiring is in proportion to actual
needs.
Mr.. Ramspsck said the personnel
angle was the only phase OF the war
effort to which Congress had not
directed attention, and that he felt it
was advisable to take action.
The Civil Service Commission also
announced creation of a new unit
to handle draft deferments. The
unit will be headed by Robert M,
Barnett, who is being detached tenn
porarily from the post of personnel
director, Federal Security Agency.

Senate Unit Meets

Overtime Pay Bill
Measure Calls for
Time-ond- Half Wage
Above 40 Hours
Ry 7. A. O'IEARY.

The Senate Civil Service Commit
tee is scheduled to meet today to
pass Judgment on the bill to au-
thorize overtime pay for thousands
of Government employees here and
throughout the country.
Hearings were held on the bill two
weeks ago by Senator Mead, Demo-
crat, of New York at which budget
officials testified the increases under
the bill would range from $195 to
$340 year. The overall average
was placed at $227 annually.
The measure would establish a
basic work week OF "a hours in
Federal departments and agencies,
with overtime at the rate of time
and-a- half starting at the end of 40
hours.
S340 in War, Navy.
For postal field employees. who
would not benefit by the basic pro-
visions, the bill would allow bonus
Of not to exceed $500 a year. The
average payment in this group. ac-
cording to budget officials, would
be s157.
In the War and Navy Depart
ments. where employees are working
48 hours. the increase would go AS
high as $340. while the average in
other departments would be $l95.
Testimony at the hearings showed
the Government now has $500 900
employees, of whom 1.275, 900 already
receive overtime for hours in excess
of a basic work week. This leaves
approximately 1.22500O not covered
by existing overtime legislation.
Lacks House Action.
The War and Navy Departments
have had authority in recent years
to pay overtime to field workers.
This legislation would have expired
October l, but was extended bv Joint
resolution fer two months, in the
expectation that the pending gen.
eral overtime measure will be enact
ed within that time.
Budget officials testified the pend
ing measure is in conformity with
the administrations financial pro-
gram. The bill has not yet been
acted upon by the House, but the
Civil Service Committee of that
branch held hearings on the subject
early this year.
