I truman Calls on Americans
To Read and Ponder Scriptures

"The Bible, embodiment Of the
wealth and the wisdom of the ages,
happily is still the worlds best
seller. That fact alone augurs well
for the success of your crusade to
promote world NBible reading.
II am afraid that we Of this
generation do not know our Bible
as well as did our fathers and
mothers. It Is well for us to re-
member that the Old and New
Testaments remain as they have
always been, source Of strength
and comfort and inspiration to all
who will seek the wisdom which
they hold.
81 trust that the interest of all
Americans in the Bible will be
quickened as a result of the OBJ
servance of Universal Bible SUNDAY
on December 8, 1916, and that our
people generally will read and
ponder the sacred scriptures partic-
ularly between Thanksgiving and
Christmas"

U. 5. Employees Here
In 50 Put at 10000

Federal building officials will con-
tinue to plan new construction In
the Capital on the basis of a perma-
nent peace-time payroll of 180, 1000
Federal employees here by 1850 it was
learned yesterday.
Planning is going ahead on this
employment figure, it was said,
despite Republican predictions of
large-scale budget cuts and Repre-
sentative Taber's warning that he
intends to slash 100000 employees
from the Federal payroll.
These officials, who must estimate
the Federal payroll several years in
advance in order to plan future con-
struction intelligently, said they
frankly doubted if the new Congress
would be able to make cuts here
beyond the 10000 figure.
The program the building officials
have in mind would cost approx
mately 5000, 900 900 in sand near
Washington alone.
It includes completion Of the So
called new War Department at
Twenty first and Virginia avenue;
new buildings for the Navy and
State Departments and the General
Accounting Office; additional build
ings for the Treasury and Interior
Departments; the Federal Archives;
Library of Congress and Bureau of
Standards; plus a general Office
building for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and other quasi-inde-
pendant agencies; an annex for the
Washington city post Office, and a
service building for the Public
Buildings Administration.
