Wilson Statistics
|0n j. ). Clerks Hit

Representative Wilson, Repub-
lican, of Indiana has come up with
some new statistics in an attempt
to show that working for the Gov
eminent is the best thing this side of
heaven.
The Indiana legislator, who once
got himself reams of publicity by
suggesting 10 pm. curfew for Gov
eminent girls, said yesterday that
Federal employees are on the job a
little more than half the year.
Holidays, vacations, sick and annual
leaves and travelling time allowances
take up about 1T days of the year,
he said.
Mr.. Wilson gathered the figures
in an attempt to prove that IS per
cent of the Governments employees
are not needed and should be dis
missed from their jobs. But Federal
employees groups point out that if
Mr.. Wilson's figures on time off
have the same degree of accuracy
as his estimate of Government en-
ployment he is way off base.
Although Mr.. Wilson refers to
Federal employment as somewhere
around 100000 employees, Gov
eminent workers point out that
actual employment is approximately
100000.
Mr.. Wilson, however, said that
his fan mail since he threw light
on the subject" has been favorable,
with Government employees praising
him for his EXPOSE"

Carey, Leader in Clio.
Calls Bond Buying
Now Vital as in War

The purchase of United States
Savings Bonds is as important to
the Nation today as subscription to
War Bonds was to American fight
ing men during the war, James B.
Carey, secretary of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tons, said in a statement today, in
supporting the current publicity
drive for sale of United States
Savings Bonds.
The investment Of billions OF
dollars in War Bonds by American
workers is but one of the many
ways in which the home-front
forces backed the fighting forces of
our Nation all over the world" Mr.
Carey said. I'm peacetime Ameri-
cans can use the same zeal and
self sacrifice to carry on a savings
program-this time for themselves,
which will mean as much for each
individual as did the purchase of
War Bonds to the men on the bat
tie lines in the days of war"
Mr.. Carey said United States
Savings Bonds are the safest in
vestment in the world, and the
regular purchase of them can be-
come a guarantee of the future for
each individual.
The Treasury is continuing to
make available Series E, F and G
Bonds, according to Wilmer J.
Waller, chairman Of the District of
Columbia Savings Bonds Commit
tee, to fight imitation by urging
Americans to save for bond invest
ment instead of bidding up prices
for scarce goods with their surplus
cash, to keep the Savings Bonds in
vestment total around it's present
$4,000, 900, 600 peak while money is
plentiful and goods are scarce,
foster the national thrift, carry on
the payroll savings plan and keep
ownership in the public debt spread
among as many Americans as pos
sible.
The drive, which is quotaless and
will be conducted without personal
solicitation, began on June and
ends July 4.
