Brothers Appeal
In Staying Studied
y the Associated Press.

Gy lne associated PreSS.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 1.-THE
contention of two Eastern Shore
brothers that their murder convic-
ton in the Staying of I. Raynor
Graham, Deal Island oyster packer
should be set aside because the trial
was improperly conducted was con-
sidered by the Court of Appeals
today.
Attorneys for Weldon Jones, jr.
II, colored, who was sentenced to
be hanged, and his brother, Hol-
brook, IA, upon whom a life term
was imposed, argued that the Wi
comico County Circuit Court should
have granted a change of venue
and a severance for Holbrook; that
witnesses should have been ex-
cluded from the courtroom during
testimony; and that it was preju-
dicial error to permit State police
man to refer in his testimony to
what he said were assaults on two
women by the defendants.
Further, the defense ATTORNEYS
contended, supposed oral and writ
ten confessions should not have been
admitted in evidence.
The State asserted that trial pro-
cedure in the lower court had been
correct and that it found sufficient
evidence of guilt irrespective Of con-
fessions." IS
The body of Mr.. Graham was
found outside his seafood packing
house January IL, 1945. The Jones
brothers were arrested the same
night at their home In nearby

The Why Of 1t
All Agency Budgets
Have Been Revised

fQuestions and answers sup
nlied by the Community War
Fund.-
@. Were budgets of Community
War Fund agencies reviewed after
the surrender of Japan?
A. Yes. Both local and National
War Fund budgets were reviewed
and revised after Japan's surrender.
@. What was the result of these
budget studies?
A. The National War Fund Budget
Committee had previously reduced
requests totaling $141 ,000,0 to a
campaign goal of $115, 1000 600, to be
used in u months starting October
], 1945. After Japan surrendered,
the National War Fund reviewed its

total do for Is months, to December
31s 1946. thus in effect reducing the
budget by 90 per cent.
The Community War Fund MAIN
tanned its goal of $4,970, 900 because
that goal was set with the probable
end of the war in mind, and the
Budget Committees of the member

Extended Rights
As Rehiriing Aid
More Than 80 Days
For Dismissed People
Held Impractical
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Government officials have re-
1ected a plan which would have
given dismissed Federal workers
more than 80 days to find work
In other agencies without suf-
fering a break in status and loss
OF civil service rights, it was
learned today.
Civil service officials and admins
tration aides had considered the
plan for several weeks, but finally
dismissed it as being impractical,
it was disclosed.
With thousands of employees be-
ing dismissed from Government
service and thousands more slated
, to- lose their jobs, some Federax
officials advocated a relaxation of
civil service procedure to aid these
workers.
30-Day Limit Stays.
AT present most agencies grant
dismissed employe a 3O-day fur
Tough" This means that when an
employe loses his job he has 30
days to find another one in the
Government without losing his civil
service status. Once the 80 days are
up. the employe loses his status.
Loss of status wipes out any ac-
cumulation of seniority that the en-
ploye might have used for promo
tional purposes, and also means the
loss of sick leave pay. The en-
ploye is, granted a lump sum pay
ment Tor whatever annual leave is
coming to him, but advocates of the
plan pointed out most of this is
eaten up by corresponding in
crease in income tax.
The rejected plan would have
given dismissed Federal employees
another 80 to so days to hunt for
Government jobs. Chief reason for
the plans rejection was that it en-
tailed too many complications in
Government bookkeeping.
May Be Brought Up Later.
With some war agencies being
abolished completely and others
operating with skeleton staffs, it was
felt it would be too much of a lob
W grant QlSrnlSSed employees a pay
less leave" status and at the same
time keep them on the Government
payroll.
At present there are a few agencies
which grant dismissed workers more
than 30 days time in which to find
new job. Other bureaus do not
grant any furlough period. The
policy rests with the individual
agency. Backers of the extended
furlough plan called for uniform
ruling for all agencies.
Informed sources said the decision
to reject the plan does not bar the
possibility that it may be adopted
at a,later dare. However, the out
look for its eventual. adoption
doesn't appear too bright, they

Army Plans 10 Move
$4,000 From District
Al Government Cost

The Military District of WASH
ington is making plans for the re-
moval from the District by next
June l of $4,000 officers and nom
commissioned officers who are en-
titled to have their household goods
moved at Army expense. With the
members of their families it is esti-
mated the total number of persons
involved will be between $4,000 and
$1,000.
Preparations for the moving job
are being made by officers on the
staff of Brig. Gen. Robert N. Young,
District commander They estimate
there are, all told, 10000 Army men
entitled to have their goods trans
ported at Government expense, but
1000 will not be moved before June |
During the war regulations re-
stricted those entitled to removal of
their goods to only .one move, but
effective November that restriction
Will be lifted. Thereafter personnel
separated or reassigned will be en-
titled to the removal of household
goods at Army expense for all moves
made necessary by orders. This in
cludes separation from the service
as well as reassignments.
1t is estimated a large majority of
the $4,000 for whom removal prepa-
rations are being made will be sepa-
rated from the service rather than
reassigned.
Those entitled to the removal of
goods at Government expense in
clude such groups as sergeants, dieti-
tians, and physiotherapy aides, as
we'll as officers. The weight of goods
which the Army will move varies ac-
cording to rank, from 5000 pounds
up to $4,000 pounds for a four-star
general.
1t was pointed out that many en-
titled to the moving service do not
have households here, and the load
will not be as great as the $4,000
figure would indicate.
Army officers will confer ON the
moving problem with van line off,
cials this afternoon at the American
Trucking Associations, Inc, Six
teenth and P streets NV.
