Federal Civilian Jobs
1852 Fewer Today
Than on June 80
War Department Leeds
Reduction in Personnel,
Smith Tells Congress

The number Of Federal civilian
paid employees in the quarter ending
today was 1882 less than on June
80, Budget Director Harold d. Smith
has reported to Congress.
Only 52.4 per cent, or sos ,662, of
the 5000, 1873 total Federal employees
as of September 80 were subject to
the War Overtime Pay Act of 1892;
most of the remainder are field
postal employees and workers in
arsenals, factories, Navy yards, air
depots and similar positions, Mr..
Smith reported.
The following employment de-
creases were reported:
War Department, $4,000: Agricul-
ture, 7,4l3; Commerce, 1892; In
terror, 2,705; War Manpower Com
mission, 1895; Federal Security
Agency, 1,542; once of Price Ad-
ministration, 500; War Production
Board, 800.
The largest increase was 1901 in
the Navy Department, followed by
the War Shipping Administration
with 729 and the National Housing
Agency with 402.
Il would like to call attention
once more to a misapprehension
which Is expressed often in speeches
and the press" Director Smith said.
All, Of the 100000 Federal en-
ployes seem to be considered as
white-collar desk workers.
AS a matter of fact, more than
half OF these employees are build

and doing thousand and one Jobs

Among the so-called white collar
workers are thousands Of engineers.

In Golf Links Contract
Agreement, Which Expires

But Still Unsigned

A new contract for operating the
publicly owned golf courses in
Washington has been negotiated"
but has not yet been signed for the
Government, 1t was learned today,
The f1ve-year contract of S. G.

The new contract, it was learned,

cials of the Interior Department
and Mr.. Leofiler and his associates
1t would set up terms for lease of
the grounds from the department
by a partnership" Details OF the
terms were not made public.
The contract was said to be ac-
ceptable to Mr.. Leoffier and his as
sociates. but was undergoing close
scrutiny by high officials of the In
terror Department. Whether 1t
would be signed before the old con-
tract expires tonight was unknown.
In case the papers are not signed
1t was predicted that Mr.. Leofier
would continue under tentative

The golf course grounds belong tt

facilities are owned by Mr.. Leoffler
Some time ago the Interior De-

ton Board If it desired to take over
the courses or supervise their opera
ton. The board, after a lengthy
discussion, decided adversely. When
the board informed the department
steps were taken to negotiate the
Leoffier contract.
The new contract was understood
to be along lines OF a so-called
"proflt sharing arrangement" by
which some Of the profits would &c

believed to follow the precedent OF
the standard national park contract
negotiated between the Government

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Third

nounced yesterday that the Navy
was negotiating for lease of the
Manhattan Towers Hotel, sold ear
lier in the day, for the use of enlisted
WAVES.
1sadore Kowal, who owns three
hotels in Detroit, purchased the
Manhattan Towers for 1915 900 at a
public auction arranged by the city,
which had taken it over on a tax
lien foreclosure. 1t was assessed at
81 $50 900.
There are about 1900 WAVES

1.-The authorities are fussy about
fishing along the creeks of the
watershed Of the city water supply
where I live. Everything must be
sanitary and you can't use bait for
fishing.
Il was fishing with a dry-fly
one day, wading in a creek when I
stopped to take a 'chaw' of tobacco.
AS I cut it, a few slivers fell into
the creek.
Three fish took the slivers and
started to chew them. After that
1t was easy as pie to catch those
fish.
Those fish knew the sanitation
rules Of the watershed. They came
up on the bank to spit"
Then there Is the "quickie" en-
tered by H. B. Clark, jr., OF New
Orleans that the judges liked.

California U. Reports
Drugs RivaIing Penici||in

By the Associated Press.
BERKELEY, Calf, Dec. 31.-The
University of California Medical
School disclosed today that another
so-called wonder drug-gramacidin
is competing with penicillin in
dramatic cures.
DR.. Henry Brainerd, clinical in
structor In medicine, reported in a
university news bulletin that gram
acidin, prepared from soil bacteria
by a relatively simple process, owes
its healing powers to the same gen.
eral principle as penicillin. He
said gramacidin is more than 1000
times as active in germ killing as
the sulfanamide drugs.
Describing the drug as cheaper
and easier to produce than peni-
cillin, DR.. Brainerd said grama..
cidin has been used successfully in
cases of impetigo boils, infected
wounds, burns and various types of
ulcers with variable and some
times very dramatic results"
