Regulations on
Job ReferraIs
New Action Due
To Reach $4,000
More Workers

New regulations extending the
priority referral program to ap-
proximately $4,000 additional work.
ers here and putting more obstacles
in the way of job-shopping were
approved by the area War Man.
power Commissions Labor-Man
agement Committee yesterday.
The new regulations, expected to
become effective January / after
approval by the regional VINO, for
the first time will cover nom Civil
Service employees in the District
Government, employees of foreign
governments and State and county
employees.
When these workers leave their
respective Government agencies,
they must go through the United
States Employment Service to be
channeled to new jobs, the new
regulations state.
Penalty For Leaving Job.
The other major change in the
regulations provides that a worker
who leaves employment in an es-
sential or locally-needed activity
and during the next go days gets a
job in violation of the VINO pro-
gram or who takes part-time work
cannot include the time spent on
these jobs as part of his 60-day
penalty period of unemployment.
Ernest v. Connolly, area VINO
director, explained that workers
must be unemployed for go days to
be eligible for other employment If
they have quit their jobs without a
statement of availability.
Where employers have reported
their workers have quit and they
knew where the workers had gone,
Mr.. Connolly said, VINO has tracked
them down and told them to go
back to their old jobs or 60 to the
USES for other employment.
The regulations covering the sta
bilization program also were amend
ed by the labor management COM
mittee to make it clear that three
classes of workers who are excluded
from the provisions of the priority
referral program must still have
statements of availability to change
jobs. This applies to workers un-
der 18 women workers over SIS and
workers who are scheduled to work
less than 80 hours a week.
Meanwhile, on the national front,
VINO Chief McNutt expressed the
belief that production problems in
many tight labor areas could be
partly, if not wholly, solved by the
proper use of available labor in the
plants.

Thousands Will Sing Carols
At White House Christmas Eve

Thousands of Washingtonians
will gather around the 22nd Ma
tional Community Christmas tree on
the White House lawn at Ais pm.

The carols will be sung imme-
diately before President Roosevelt

ing the chorus, also will direct the
group singing.

Welfare Fund Deficit
Twill Be Studied
by Mason tuesday

The delicate and human" prob
lem of trying to figure out Is months
in advance how many District resi-
dents are going to need public as
sistance proved too much for the
Board of Public Welfare in this
changing wartime year, Ray Huff
director, said last night as Com
missioner Guy Mason announced he
would meet with welfare officials
Tuesday to discuss an estimated
$1,000 deficit in funds needed tt
continue the welfare operation.
until June.
The Welfare Board, like all othel
District agencies, had to decide II
the fall of 1943 how much money
1t would need between July, 1914
and June, 1945. In past years, the
Welfare Department had over.
estimated its needs, sometimes re.
turning as much as 100000.
Some Returning to Rolls.
The officials averaged out care
fully the amounts needed to main
tain "decency and health" for per-
sons requiring public assistance
Then they tried to decide-in view
of wide wartime employment-ex-
actly how many persons would be
in need of this subsistence.
"The numbers needing help
dropped as we knew they would,
Mr.. Huff said. but not as far
as we thought"
For example. many elderly per-
sons receiving welfare funds before
the war started took jobs in the
Government or in war plants. Now
even their patriotism can not keep
them going and they are returning
to the assistance rolls.
Emphasis on the control of tu-
berculosis with special diet has In
recent months added second group
to the roll, Mr.. Huff continued. The
number of unmarried mothers, al
though in normal proportion to the
rise of the population, has created
another problem difficult for the
welfare officials to estimate, it was
reported.
Other Factors Cited.
Still another factor causing the
probable deficit, Mr.. Huff said, is
removal year ago of legislative
ceilings on the amount of money
which could be paid to dependents
by the board. This raised the aver
age amount given to larger families
in the District above the rate recog-
nized by the Federal Government
The Federal Government matches
certain District expenditures, Mr.
Huff continued, but the difference
in the District and Federal standard
now is throwing a slightly heavier
burden on the District.
Commissioner Mason said yester-
day he would rather go to Congress
for supplemental appropriations to
make up the deficit than cut the
assistance given by even one nickel
The Board of Commissioners will
decide the matter officially after
Tuesdays conference, he said.

President Is Confident
OF China S Share in War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt told General
issimo Chang Kai-shek he was
confident China will worthy share
in the approaching phase of final

Mr.. Roosevelt's statement was. in
cluded in an exchange of messages
on the third anniversary of Pearl
Harbor published yesterday by the
State Department.
The Chinese leader assured PreSi-
dent Roosevelt that China will
"soon be able to inf1ict a crushing
defeat on the enemy despite his
present desperate struggle on the

Promise to Refrain
From Train Travel
Asked by Government

Some Government employees
are being asked to promise not
to use trains during the holi-
days.
Civil Service Commission en-
ployes who apply for leave be-
tween December Is and jan
uary 10 are asked to put them
selves on record that they will
not travel by train except in
case Of emergency. Emergency
trips include those to see rel
atives in the armed services
who are about to 90 overseas.
Civil Service said it took this
action in compliance with a
request from the Office of De-
fense Transportation. Neither
Civil Service nor ODT could
say whether other agencies
were asking for similar pledges.
Evening star., 1944-12-17

That is equal to 325 solidly loaded
trains. And the figure is expected
to be increased by about 10000 on
the heavy days during the holidays.
Air line officials say there are only
few points to which facilities are
not completely booked. In addition
to travel to Florida, which has
been heavy for some time, they said,
there has developed a demand for
air line Accommodations to Havana
Bus lines also have noted the size
of the Florida travel, but officials
of the bus companies say 1t won't
really get heavy until the weather
gets colder.

.Diesels Open Home Season On May 28

The Electric Boat Baseball Team will play Meriden at Mercer Field, New London. on Sunday, May 28. This game will inaugurate the home season of the Diesels unless Manager Murphy succeeds in book ing suitable attraction for Sum- day, May 21. At press-time he has nothing definite to offer for the 21st.
 The Meriden Club Is recognized as a strong combination and have played more early season games than the Tuneski crew. which should be to their advantage in the game at New London. Taftville'S Gus Dugas will appear in the Mer- iden lineup. Dugas was formerly with Toronto of the International League and Is now employed at Pratt Whitney of Hartford. Gus is Well-knoWn and should prove an attraction in himself.
 Manager Murphy is seeking to add two name players to the line up but does not wish to reveal names until the men have been signed. Frank also announces ten tative bookings with Newport, R. l., Lynn, Mass, Coast Guard Bears, Coast Guard Dolphins, West Haven, New York BushwickS, and Davis vile, R. I. The pavisville Sea Bees are considered the outstanding service team of the East.
