The fact that prices are higher

ment must 60 down to . final total
OF t76,000 classified workers, while
the Navy Department Is scheduled
to wind up with 100000 classified
employees.
New figures obtained today show
that the War Department at present
has about 2sl.000 classified EN-
ployes, which means that it must
fire los 900 white collar workers boz
tween now and July. The Navy De-
partment Is in far more advan-
tageous position. 1t is down to 1o6,-
600 classified employees, only 5000
above the 100000 figure 1t must
reach by July.
Federal oficials expressed the
opinion that the bulk OF the persons
to be fred by next July In the Gov.
crnment's drive to cut its payroll to
1890, 900 employees, will come from
War and Navy Departments field
establishments and overseas install
lations. They base this opinion on
the fact that, while the Government
must fire about COO, 600 persons to
reach the 1900 900 figure. only about
150,0 900 Of these workers will come
from the white-collar group.
Meanwhile, the Byrd, Committee

day that although total Government
employment decreased by ISL 500

The report said that the drop was

Twenty-Five agencies increased

mated by the Albanians. The mis-
sion was recalled after 16 months

Student Veterans Club was at
tackled by The Hatchet, student
paper. while DR.. Burnice j. Jar
man. university registrar, called
the American Veterans Committee
his biggest headache" The two
rival groups are striving for student
and university attention.
DR.. Jarman, chairman Of the
Student Life Committee, referring
to the American Veterans Commit
tee, said that "the campus is not
going to be q battle-ground for
economic issues" and that the uni
versity Is not going to have its
thinking "handed down from the
outside"
The university, he explained, has
q rule that only one club Of q cer-
tain kind can ofncially exist on the
campus. The Student veterans'
Club is the legal group, he said, but
the American Veterans Committee
wants to 60 into politics and inter
fere in national affairs" He point
ed out that another rule of the
university Is that no club can be
political. but this the American Vet
Grams Committee wants to be.
MEMBERSHIPS Are Small.
THE Student Veterans Club re-
sents another veterans club appear
ing on the campus and trying to
horn in In way that Is not legal," !"
declared DR.. Jarman.
Fewer than 500 Of the 5000 reg
istered veterans are members Of the
American Veterans Committee, and
fewer than 600 are members Of the
Student Veterans Club. he said he
was informed.
An editorial In The Hatchet ac-
cused the Student Veterans Club
OF placing itself in the position Of
being q drawback and stopgap in
any worthwhile activities which the
student body may wish to carry out. /"
1t said the club has decided that
the student body must bow its head
to some 600 student veterans and
realize their power.
The Hatchet contended that ''the
Veterans Club has violated all the
principles of rehabilitation which
was set up for them" It declared
that the club asked the Student
Council to hold on on the sale Of
homecoming tickets 50 that the vet
Grams could put over their barn
dance. and then sought to reduce
the price of the Homecoming tickets.
Student Support Cited.
1.-THE student body has in the past
supported affairs of the Veterans
Club Fundamentally, and much Of
the success which the club had.
both In affairs and campus politics
was due to the majority Of the stu
dent body, which fathered the Vet
