The German people at home to- day are as Respondent and beaten as they were in the Fall of 1913 when Germany crumbled and sued for an armistice, but they gre so hungry, and millions of them home less. that they lack the energy to demand peace.
 This is the conclusion of Blair BolISs, American political and dip- lomatic correspondent, based on in tervieWs in Sweden with Europear of many nationalities who gave h..l uncenSored nuggets of news" from NaI Europe.
 Writing in the current issue of The American Magazine, Bolles de- clares that Sweden, where he spent weeks interviewing travellers from Germany, is the best listening post in Europe-the one good place in which to get inside information on conditions in bombed Germany:
 Those who cone to Sweden from the Reich-SWedes, Swiss, Austri- ans, Rumanians and Slovaklans,' v Bolles reports, "say that the Ger mans are living in a sort of trance like state induced by hunger, hope lessness, bombings, and grief piled on grief without end.
 '"The story of 1918 is developing anew. The German housewife, de- nied the simplest necessities in the shops, is ready to throw in the sponge right now, and she speaks her mind sharply"
 But while the men and women on the home front long for peace, Bolles says that the travellers re- port they lack the energy to demand it.
 Germany is prepared to cele- brate the wars ending when it comes, but not yet ready to force the government to seek it, as their mothers and fathers did 25 years ago." Bolles writes. But in time this German irritability and rest

.mployes from federal payrolls which are attracting attention be- cause in some states they exceed the aggregate of state and local employees.
 The IVA, already banned by con- gress, rap: Ny is reducing its pay roll in the process of dissolution. The coal division, which adminis- ters tine Guffey coal control act, seems doomed as of the last week of August barring a congressional reprieve. Their elimination, how ever, will not make much of a dent in the federal payroll.
 From various official sources the citizens national committee has
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-07

compiled data showing that within the continental limits of the United States there are 82 civilian federal employees for every 100 state and local employees. In nine states the number of federal employees is greater than the number on the state and local payrolls
 It shows, further, that congress and the various directors and ad- ministrators responsible for fixing federal salaries are more generous than are state legislators, county boards and municipal councils. The 2.665 000 persons on the federal pay roll as of last January drew col lective $436,9500 000 in salary where

 Maryland, likewise nearby, has 9O,0OO federal employees and 39000 state and local employees.

mass exodus from the chaotic and

Thousands, taking out possessions
on their backs or in small carts,
risked the danger of being without
ration cards and local visas In
order to fee the stricken city, the
account went on.
Other thousands, it said, were
obeying orders and awaiting ar
rangements whereby they will be
