COMPROMISE FAILS

The crisis began New Years
Day. but was compromised at that
time by calling for an immediate
reduction of 5 per cent in the army
budget, and a subsequent cut of
20 per cent If the government did
not effect reorganization of the
forces by Feb. Is.
The new crisis was said to have
arisen when De Gaulle changed his
mind on the compromise because
of the tension of the world situ-
alton as revealed at the London
United Nations Conference.

Good wages mean good

eminent dams the river to pro-

lower valley, but still has no place

County Judge M. B. Bravo said
that no new site had been found.
Zapata doesn't even know where
it can get a drinking water sup
ply. 1t may be four years be-
fore Zapata actually will have to
move but once work gets under
way on the dam and it starts im1
pounding water the town will
have to have its moving program
we'll organized, 20
Now in Congress is an appro-
priation bill carrying funds for
initial work on the dam. When
the dam is finished and the lake
is full the area on which Zapata
now rests will be 10 to Is feet
under water The lake will ex-
tend far up the Rio Grande.
Zapata is a town of $500 per-
sons and some 400 buildings.

Social Work
Expands Fast,
Rector Saws

! Merit system examinations, re-
Gently announced by the Merit
System council, include Is classes
of social'work positions with the
State Welfare board, it was stat
ed here today by the Rev. James
H. Mcdonnell, Monroe county
member of the District 10 Wei
fare Board.
The grouping of so many
classifications in a single ex-
animation offers an unusual
opportunity TO qualify for
social work employment with
the State Welfare Agency.
since all employees of that or
ganization must meet merit
system standards. the Rev.
Macdonald said.
Two of the classifications, dis
trict welfare visitor and war
duration visitor, do not require
social work training. The others
require social experience or
special training in a graduate
school of social work, or both.
The Rev, MacConnell stated
that since a large number of va
cancies exist on the social work
stats of the State Welfare board
and the district boards, those
who successfully pass the. tests
can be considered for early en-
ployment in almost every part of
the state. Position on the en-
ployfnent registers will depend
on the grade made.
Applications TO take the tests
must be filed In the Merit SYs-
tenn office in Gainesville not
later than June IS. the Rev.
Mcdonnell emphasized. APP
plication forms and complete
information as to the classes of
examinations may be obtained
from the Merit System Office or
any office of the local district
welfare boards.
Social work is a rapidly eX-
panding profession" the Rev.
Mcdonnell commented. ''By
passing the merit system tests,
college graduates and other
eligibles who may wish to adopt
social work as a vocation may
qualify for experience that will
be valuable to them in their pro-
fessional advancement"

The House District Committee
today voted out the long pend
ing slum redevelopment bill with
provision that public low-rent
housing" constructed by the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority
be restricted to families consti-
tuting the lower one-fifth of all
family incomes in the District.
This action. Chairman Mcmillan
said, would bring the measure up
on the floor of the House either
today or tomorrow, probably to-
morrow
The committee rejected by a vote
of ia motion by Representative
Randolph, Democrat, of West Vir-
ginia to adopt the Senate version
of the bill. which described public
low-rent housing in more general
terms.
After several minor amendments
had been proposed, the committee,
on motion of Representative Dirk
sen. Republican of Illinois adopted
the revised version by unanimous
vote.
Mr.. Randolph announced after
ward that he seconded the Dirksen
motion in order to bring the issue
out on the House floor. He said.
however, he believed the Senate
version of the bill was better for
