Cutting Of Personnel
In War Department
Will Be Gradual
ForrestuI's Statement
Says No Indiscriminute
DismissuIs Are Planned
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.

At the request of Undersecretary
of War Robert P. Patterson, who
several days ago told the Ramspeck
Civil Service Investigating Com
mittee that civilian personnel in
tine War Department would be re-
duced by 100000 employees within the
next few months, William H. Kush-
nick, director of civilian personnel
and training for the department
today made the following statement
to the committee:
This reduction in staff will not
be accomplished Immediately. No
employees will be dismissed indis-
climinately if they are satisfactorily
performing their work But unless
the war puts a greatly increased
and unexpected burden on the War
Department, our commanding Off
GERS and supervisors can trim their
stats gradually through better Or
2anlzatiOn, simpler procedures and
more skilled and experienced per-
sonnet
Furthermore. as our male work
ers depart for military service
some of their positions may be
abolished thus reducing the total
number of employees. In addition,
some employees can look to reas-
signment to other positions for more
effective use of their skills. Our
normal rate of turnover of ap-
proXlmatelv per cent a month may
also permit personnel reductions,
because some vacancies can remain
untitled through better individual
performance and supervision"
Expenses Cited.
billiard Lassiter, chief investigator
for the committee, called attention
to the fact that when the Finance
Division of the War Department de-
cided on March 20 to move its mill
tary and civilian bond division to
Chicago. delay of more than two
weeks in requesting the Civil Service
Commission to find places for l .455
employees resulted in a cost to the
Government of a minimum of S75,-
600 in lost time of employees.
The employees were fist notified on
April by memorandum which
told them that they need not en-
deavor to find positions elsewhere
for themselves. but that the Service
Placement Committee of the War
Department would provide for their
transfers. On April II, the Office
equipment was moved out and for
ID DAYS the employees who did not
accept transfer to Chicago were idle.
Negligence Charged.
The investigating committee was
told that 1t is apparent that the
responsible officers of the War De-
partment failed to anticipate far
enough in advance of the move to
ascertain vacancies and ability to
absorb the personnel of that unit
into various services of the War De-
partment and were negligent in
notifying the Civil Service Commits
sion of the availability of 1855 en-
ployes.'
Chairman Ramspeck and other
members of the committee expressed
amazement when they we're in
formed that John W. Macy, jr.. 20
year-old assistant director of civil
ian personnel and training, who
two years before had had no per-
sonnel experience, had his salary
more than doubled in August, 1912.
He now gets $4,000 a year. Mr..
Macy first came to the Govern
ment as a clerk with the Housing
Authority in 1899 at a salary of
$4,000. Mr.. Kushnick told the COM
mittee that Mr.. Macy will enter
the military service on June %.

Civilians to Get
n Percent Less
Beer Under Quota

Civilians are due to receive re-
ductions in beer quotas, Jess Adams
Glasgow distributor, said this week
after comforting with Great Falls
brewery officials concerning new ra-
ton regulations now in effect.
Mr.. Adams said breweries have
been forced to reduce quantities un-
der government order seven percent
less than last year.
Another Is percent has been re-
Questioned for the armed forces, so
the total cut for civilians will be %

percent during 1943. The condition,
he said, is not restricted to Glas-
gov, for he has just returned from
Plentywood, where similar cuts have
been put in effect, as well as else
where.
A malt and hops shortage has re-
suited in reduced output, the dis
tributor said.
Distributors will receive from
breweries % percent less beer each
month this year than last year. The
quotas are based on last years sales
Consequently, a ration system to
dealers is then necessary, Mr.. Adams
stated, and each dealer will receive
during 1943 proportionate shares
based on previous year purchases.

action should begin sometime
during the last two weeks Of
June.
For the time being, however.
with the exception of a few big
air raids by each side on military
objectives, there are no definite
indications as to when we may
expect the battle to start.
The Nazi high command has
placed Gen. Jodel. one OF its
ablest ofl1cers. as chief Of opera
tons on the Russian front.
Gen. Jodel. who spent some
time in Russia before the war,
speaks the language fairly we'll
and in the past had close asso-
Citations with the Russian gen.
erals, some Of whom were purged
in the 1887 trials. Others, how
ever, still are in responsible posi-
tions and hold commands against
the Nazi armies. Thus the direc-
tor Of the Nazi campaign at least
will know the psychology OF some
Of his opponents.
Delay Puzzles Observers.
Some of our military observers
have been puzzled somewhat over
the apparent reluctance Of the
Nazis to strike. The weather in
Russia is ideal for a campaign at
this time Of the year, since the
roads are dry and there seldom
is fog OF heavy rain to interfere
with air operations.
The suggestion that the Ger
mans are so short Of planes that
they don't dare start \ major
offensive is being discounted as
wishful thinking. They would
not have concentrated q large
force Of about 220 divisions on
the eastern front had that been
the case.
It is true that the most recent
peace offers to Premier Stain,
made through the Japanese AM
bassador to Moscow, might lend
some color to reports that the
Nazs are loathe to tackle the
Russian bear again. But unbiased
reports, considered in many re-
sponsible quarters in Washing
ton as probably correct, say the
German aviation now consists of
about 5000 planes, including
training planes. Large trans
ports, which apparently are to
be used by parachuters, are in
cluded.
