Eight Italian Ships
Reach Cyprus PORT
Ey tn. Associated Press.


NICOSIA, Cyprus, Sept. 15.-Eight
italian vessels, including a gunboat
and two minesweepers, reached this
Eastern Mediterranean port today,
carrying about 200 Italians from
the Dodecanse Islands who told
stories of fierce fighting going on
there between Italians and Ger
mans.
The refugees included number
of Italian military officers who ex-
changed their automatic pistols for
biscuits and tea-the first tea, many
said, that they had tasted in three
years.
The small armada. flying the
italian flag, was escorted along the
Cyprus coast by a British naval
launch. With the gunboat and
minesweepers were three auxiliary
schooners and two small cargo ships

Faulty Applications,
Lack Of Volunteers
Delay New A Books

Fear that some of the District s
motorists may not receive their new
A gasoline books before the current
ly-valid ones expire was expressed
today by the District Office of Price
Administration. Issuance of the new
coupons is proceeding slowly, an
OPA spokesman said, because the
supply of volunteer workers is in
sufficient and about one-third of all
applications filed here so far have
been faulty.
In disclosing the difficulties, the
District OPA pointed out that the
expiration date of No. A coupons,
the last in the present rations books,
has not been definitely determined.
The National OPA, meanwhile,
partially quieted fears that some
motorists will find themselves with
out valid A coupons, by indicating
that the No. 6 coupons probably
will remain good until November
21M
November 81 originally was an
nounced as the expiration date, the
National OPA explained. At the
time local boards began issuance of

the new books, however, there were
indications that weekly gas rations
in the East Coast area might be in
creased from IL to gallons
through the equalization of rations
throughout the country. Since this
increase would have changed the
expiration date of No. coupons to
October 81, the instructions from
National OPA to regional and Dis
trict offices specified that the date
for valuation of the new books
was yet to be determined.
There still is a remote possibility
that the East Coast basic gasoline
ration may be increased, so the date
when the new books will become
good has not definitely been an
nounced, the National OPA said

u. 5. Chamber Survey
Finds 0verstaffing
OF Federal Bureaus

"A high degree of overstaffins
with resultant waste of effort" ex.
lists in the Federal Government
according to an analysis of public
employment issued today by the
Department of Governmental At
fairs of the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
The findings of the survey were
described by James C. Ingebretsen
director of the department, as being
especially pertinent at this time in
view of the serious manpowel
shortage in which heads of fami-
lies are being called for service in
the armed forces, and when $50
called nonessential businesses have
been denied free access to the labor
market and the individuals right
to determine his own employment
has been curtalled."
AT the end of May, 1943," the
report says. the number of persons
employed in the executive civil
service of the Federal Government
was 3,029,48 This total is double
the number employed in November,
l94l, just before our entry into the
war; more than three times as
large as the number employed in
August. 1899. just before the out
break of the war in Europue: nearly
six times as large as in 1923, which
represents the low point following
World War I; and over three times
as large as the number employed
at the signing of the armistice on
November II, 1918.
Increased 300, 900 Monthly.
"Up to May the monthly increase
was still continuing at rate equiva-
lent to 100000 per year, despite a
recommendation of the Byrd COM
mittee that the force should be re-
duced now by just that number"
According to the findings. which
are largely the work of Millard A.
Black of the departments statistical
research section, the greatest in
crease since the middle of 1899 has
taken place predominantly in the
War and Navy Departments. These
departments account for 86 per cent
of the total increase between August,
1899, and May 81, 1943, or 1,813,927
persons.
The increase in all departments
end establishments other than the
War and Navy Departments reached
282 500, representing an average in
crease over the period of $4,000
persons a year.
Translating the employment to-
tails into dollars and cents, the
Chamber OF Commerce reports that
the payroll Of persons employed in
the Federal executive civil service
reached total of S4,396 600, 900 dur
ing the calendar year 1942, which
was almost equal to the aggregate
payrolls of all State and local gov
ernments in the same year.
Measures Recommended.
Three principle measures are rec
commended by the chamber as fol-
lows:
/. The Budget Bureau and the
Civil Service Commission should ex-
ercise the authority they now have
to eliminate wasteful personnel
practices.
Q. The studies OF the Byrd Com
mittee should be continued and in
tensified and its recommendations
particularized.
8. Congress should Immediately
seek to improve its procedures for
controlling authorizations, appro-
priations and expenditures.

COMMUNITY LEADERS
SEE ANTI-SEMITISM
GROWING IN DETROIT

Detroit (JPS)-At the same
time that anti-Negro sentiment
has been built up in this city to
the extent of melting race riots
taking a toll of 20 lives and re-
sulting in injury to several humid
red others, the growth of anti
Semitism was cited by commune
ty and labor leaders discussing
the riots with PM correspondent
Arnold Beichman.
One Of them declared that anti
Semitism runs through the bus
conversations you hear. Some
time ago." he continued, "a Jew
ish firm here became involved in
a Government fraud. The buses
and street cars seethed with ru-
mors and just plain, downright
anti-Semitism. And, of course,
we have our rumors, obviously
organized, that the Jews are
evading the draft, are making all
the money and so on"
