From the manpower standpoint,
the most serious loss seems to be
among the technical men. The
"essentialness" of the industry has
not prevented these individuals from
going the way of the draft and their
lack hits the business in a vulner-
able spot. They are specialists In
fields which takes years Of expert
ence to master. They cannot be

part. Some Of their jobs are most
difncult to master. The result Is
that men who were apprentices be-

The studio construction gangs also
have been depleted, but for differ
ent reason. Most of these workers
are over 80 and are, therefore, not
Immediately eligible for the draft.
However, the enormous expansion
OF Army facilities on the West Coast,
with its higher wages, has drawn
carpenters, painters, filters and
plumbers from the studios.
Women are being used in many
OF the studios, but not so much as
one might expect. They have be-
come mail clerks, messengers and
guides. A few have gone into the
prop and publicity departments.
From the raw materials stand
point, Hollywood has taken it on
the chin.
Raw Aim has been cut approx
imately Is per cent. It necessitates
unending nipups such as fewer
takes and no rehearsals with the
camera.
On the technical end, the daily
rushes are now being printed on
what Is known as short ends :"
These are pieces of film less than
400 feet left over from a 1,0O0-foot
reel. Trailers are also being made
OF these, with much splicing attend
ing the process.

in use, too, particularly in the re-

At Least One Relief.
From the construction standpoint,
the biggest headache has been the

was promised last week, however,
when the WPB relaxed its regula-
tions. Effective July /, producers
will request materials on quarterly
basis, without limitation on the costs
for an individual production.
Even under the modification this
restriction imposes great problems,
as does gas rationing. Companies

0CD Payroll Cut
In District Urged
To Conserve Funds
Commissioners Weiqh
Proposal to Drop
Clerks and Operators

Possibilities of large annual saw
ingS in the Districts special black
out fund, by eliminating from it pay
roll charges for the present staff of
seven clerks and 80 telephone oper-
ators in the OCD communications
system are being considered by the
Commissioners.
The question has been laid before
the city heads in a memorandum by
Charles Stofberg, special assistant
to Commissioner John Russell
Young, civilian defense co-ordinator,
following consultation among sew
eral OCD officials.
Final action is expected to be
deferred until after the return of
Capt. Herbert C. Whitehurst, District
OCD director, now on sick leave. :.
Mr.. Sbfberg Suggests abolition of,
the seven clerk jobs-one at each
of the seven branch control CEN
ters-on. the ground that outside
of the occasional blackouts and 9TH
er air-raid drills the clerks have no
work to justify full-time employ
ment at $1.620 year. He suggests
volunteer clerks could be enlisted
to care for work on records during
drills or enemy attack. Dropping of
the seven jobs would save S1l $40 a
year. --e
There are 80 telephone operators.
one at each police precinctfor each
of the three shifts Of duty, at 81 400
year, or a total of $56,160 year.
While on hand for defense work,
these operators man the police
sWitchboards and thereby relieve
regular police for patrol duty. 1t
is suggested that either the switch
board work be returned to police or,
if 80 police cannot be spared from
patrol work, that civilians be hired
at pay which will halt turnover.
If the latter course is followed, it is
suggested the payroll cost be
charged to the Police Department
instead of the blackout fund.

{. & 0. Canal Repairs
Are Provided For in
Deficiency Bill
$4,000 Eormorked to
Cover Flood Damage;
Parks Get $4,000

Repair of flood damage done last
October to the historic Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal, to cost $4,000, and
restoration of East and West Po-
tomac Parks, Anacostia Park and
KenilWorth Aquatic Gardens at a
cost of 100000 is provided in the
deficiency appropriation bill reported
to the House yesterday and brought
up for consideration today. Of this
amount $25,000 would be charged to
the water fund of the District.
The damage to the old canal by
the floods of October II and Is was
particularly severe from Georgetown
to the feeder lock at Little Falls.
The urgency of having repairs to
guarantee a water supply and re-
move a health menace was ex-
planned by A. E. Demaray. associate
director Of the National Park Serv-
ice, during hearings on the bill.
Water in the canal is used for
producing hydroelectric power which
is furnished to two mills in George
toWn-the flour and paper mills,
from which the Park Service gains
revenue of $4,000 a year. An
additional $1,000 a year is received
from rental of canal properties.
Especially is the maintenance of
the canal imperative because it is
a supplemental water supply for
the District, in the event that any,
thing should happen to the Wash
ington conduit, Last year the
United States engineers office for
the District built an emergency
pumping plant close to the Dale
carlia reservoir so that, if the con-
duit were out of use, water could
be drawn from the canal into the
reservoir for city use
The repairs contemplated extend
along the canal for about 6 miles.
There is bad sanitary condition
existing along the canal at the pres
ent time" Mr.. Demaray pointed out.
There Is no running water in the
canal. but pools OF water remain
that will become mosquito breeders.
The flood washed out the embank-
ment and washed out the feeder
canal so there is no water in it at
the present time"
The amount recommended in the
bill would restore the canal to the
condition it was in before the flood.
There is no emergency fund avail
able to make the repairs.
Mr.. Demaray also explained the
need for repair of the flood damage
in East and West Potomac and Ana
costa Parks.
There are deposits of mud" he
said, 'and the surface drainage is
clogged. Unless the tile drains are
cleaned out and the area restored,
every time it rains we will have
stagnant pools of water standing in
these parks which will be mosquito
breeding and health menace"
