War Agency Worker:
Seeking Permanent

Civil Service Admits
Moderate Number
Appeal for Transfers

Members of Congress recently have
been receiving appeals from Govern.
ment war agency employees to obtain
aid in transferring to permanent
civil service jobs in older agencies
Representative Priest. Democrat, of
Tennessee, said today.
Majority Whip Ramspeck said hun
dreds of civilian workers employed
now by the Army Service Forces are
trying to get other Government Jobs
because they are now on 54-houl
week" and they would like to get
back to shorter work week.
Other members of the House said
Federal workers transferred to New
York and Philadelphia with their
agencies are appealing by mail fol-
transfers back to Washington.
The Civil Service Commission re-
ported that applications for trans
fers from one job to another have
not increased in recent weeks.
Many of the applicants state
frankly that they wish to trans
fer from their war-agency jobs to
old-line agencies for permanence
OF employment" a spokesman for
civil service said. But there has
been no snowballing of applica-
tions.'
Turnover rate in the Government
Is up slightly at present. he said, but
it Is always higher in the summer
months, due to separations at the
end of the fiscal year and women
leaving their jobs to take vacations.
However, he said, the turnover rate
(all separations is less than it was
a year ago. This is due in part, he
said, to the Tightening up of War

At the same time. cases are in-

rise to the belief that outbreak is
occurring later in these areas than
in the District proper"
DR.. Dauer has prepared a chart
showing the dates of onset OF each

incidence of infantile paralysis ito
have occurred in the week ending

cases received by date of onset in

Too Early for Predictions.

predict future trend, in view of the
onset of cases last week and over
the holiday week end, DR.. Dauer
emphasized:
There is no reason why this
downward movement in cases
should not continue"
He added that he believes OPEN

Along Lines of Tomato Can
Novel Quarters for 46 Naval Officers
Reported to Have Distinct Advantages

Within the next few days, 46 naval
officers will move into new quarters
Their new home is built on the same
general lines as a tomato can, but
that is no drawback. The architect

Of the property insist it has distinct
advantages.
For instance, they say the rooms
will have 80 per cent more light, a
better regulated heat plan and more
privacy than the regulation rec
tangle house. The place is also
equipped with telephones. a bar, q
refrigerator that holds 80 cases oil
beer, dance hall-gameroom- movie
