Federal
Workers Start
2-Day Holiday
Thanks of Nation
For Effort in War
Given by President

The 275,0O0 Federal and District
Government employees here started
a two-day victory holiday today,
heartened by President Truman's
statement expressing his gratitude
to them for their contribution to
the war effort.
Employees will enjoy the holiday
without charge against their annual
leave. Government workers will be
of on VI day, too, as soon as that
day is proclaimed.
In his announcement yesterday Of
the Japanese surrender, Mr.. Truman
said that proclamation of vi day
must wait the formal signing of the
surrender terms by Japan.
For Pay Purposes.
In announcing the two-day holi-
day for Federal employees, Mr.. Tru-
man said the days also would be
holidays for pay purposes for work.
ers in general throughout the
country
For these workers Wednesday and
Thursday count like Christmas and
the few other accepted holidays for
the purposes of overtime pay and
in figuring the number of days
worked in week Many employers
already have gotten approval for
regular time pay to workers who
take the day off.
Postal service for the next two
days will approximate holiday serv-
ice," the Post ONCE Department
said.
In paying tribute to Federal work
ers, Mr.. Truman said: "One of the
hardest working groups of war
workers during the past four years
and perhaps the least appreciated
by the pubiic-has been the Fed
eral employees in Washington and
throughout the country. They have
carried on the day-to-day opera
tions of the Government which are
essential to the support OF our fight
ing men and to the carrying on of
the war.
Expresses Thanks of Nation.
"On behalf of the Nation, for
mally express thanks to them. As
token of this feeling, / hereby re-
quest all the heads of the de-
partments, agencies and bureaus
throughout the Government to ex-
cuse the employees thereof for to-
morrow and Thursday.
! This action is to be without
charge against the annual leave of
the employees. Only skeleton forces
need be maintained
Il hope that all OF the employees
OF the Government will enjoy this
well-deserved-though inadequate
holiday"
Speaking on behalf of the District
Government. Commissioner John
Russell Young issued the following
statement:
I'VE have just been informed that
the japanese government has sur
rendered Internationally. This Is
q great day in the history of our
country and our world.
Sees Big Job Ahead.
There is a great job ahead to
make tne peace enectlVe. I know
that you will join in assuring the
President and the Congress of the
United States of our support in
their great task.
1T is timely to impress upon our
citizens the privilege of their status
in our democracy and their respon-
sibilities for building this nation a
security and advancing its welfare
"As president of the Board of
Commissioners, may I take this op-
portunity to express appreciation of
the three Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia and all of our as
sociates for the splendid co-opera-
ton we've received during the trying
times of the war and to ask your
continued cooperation in the

"Our immediate family life is q

live in the most harmonious at
mosphere where the most complete
segregation exists. Males and fe-
males are segregated except when
legally bound in holy wedlock. The
older children are segregated from
the younger in many Of their ac-
tiyities during the changing periods
Of their growth. This is not dis
elimination in any evil sense. It is
the very segregation which provides
the harmony"
He said the present pattern of
segregation in the Recreation De-
partment has maintained har-
monious relations "as far back as
any Of us can remember"
Under that pattern Washington
Negroes have benefited more than
they have suffered. Funds, facili-
