Saturday Holidays
In Federal Agencies
Raped by Wiley

The new Monday-to- Friday Gov
ernment work week has drawn the
ire of Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin, who demands that a
substantial work force be main
tanned in Federal agencies on Sat-
urdays for the convenience of Con-
gress and the general public.
In a speech before the Senate,
Senator Wiley described as a harm
full activity" the action of the Gov
ernment in "slamming its doors in
the fact of the public on Friday
evening and telling the public to
twiddle its thumbs over the week
end in spite of any urgent problem
that may come up"
Senator Wiley added, "The skel-
eton forces which some departments
say they leave on Saturday to trans
act emergency business are not
forces, they are farces.'
II am certain every one of my
senatorial colleagues has had the
experience of receiving urgent re-
quests from his constituents on Sat-
urday and being absolutely unable
to get any action" he added.
Senator Wiley said no one be-
grudges the Federal worker his
weekend rest. But surely a sys-
tenn could be established whereby
Federal workers could work one

from what | hear there isn't very
much left of it now.
| would surely appreciate chance
to get home again soon. Sure seems
like two or three years instead Of
one since | have been among people
| know. Besides that I don't believe
that this war is helping any Of
US very much.
| have hopes that the winter as
sault will be the deciding factor
and bring an end to all of this. The
Russians are on the move now and
we have the Bulge about con
sumed". Let's hope for the best.
Well, tell the folks at home hello
for me, and keep your papers
coming.

HELENA, Feb. 20--Total lum-
Der requirements for l945 may reach
40, 900, 100000 board feet, according
to preliminary estimates based on
the assumption that the war in Eu-
rope and in the East continue
through the year, WPB officials re-
ported today.
Prospects for the l945 produc-
ton and supply and estimates Of
1915 requirements were revised at
the recent meeting of the field lum-
Der advisors held in Washington.
On the basis of current manpoWer
and equipment available, it is esti-
mated production for 1945 will be
10 per cent less than 1914 or total
of 29,500,00O,000 board feet. Antici-
pated imports and Withdrawals from
stock will add an estimated 1900
100000 board feet Of lumber to the
available supply for 1915. The Lum-
Der Products Division urged lumber
advisors to concentrate on giving
assistance to producers who are
making the greatest contribution to
meeting war requirements.
