He was arrested on suspicion of
committing a felony and the pistol
was found on him. The case went
before Judge Almond w. Scott on
a charge of carrying a deadly
weapon The defendant, Fred D.
Allen, %, colored, of the 1900 block
of Fifteenth street NV, pleaded
guilty.
In sentencing him, Judge Scott
commented:
There has been too much
promiscuous gun-toting, too much
shooting going on here lately. Had
you been in New York, you would
have gotten a penitentiary SEN

MOSCOW, Mar. 22-An authori-
tative British source said today
that a meeting between Prime Mini

glad to see the Soviet leader, but
made no specific request for such a

Political forecasters predicted ear

Officials Meet in Effort
To Hold Firingto 1900
In Labor Department
Budget Slash May Force
Dropping Up to 1000,
Half of Them Here

Labor Department officials met
today to plan overall economy
measures in the department in
an attempt to avoid firing more
than 1900 of their employees.
Hard hit by 371a per cent cut in
it's operating expenses for the next
fiscal year, Labor Department Of
ficials said they hoped that opera
tional savings effected might make
additional firings unnecessary. The
department now has GILL employees.
Top officials denied published re-
ports that $500 Labor Department
employees will be fired.
Figure Is Uncertain.
"Its hard to tell for certain, of
course, but our guess is that between
1900 and 1900 of our employees will
have to be fired" Labor Depart
ment spokesman said today. He add
ed that, in any event, the number
shouldn't be more than 2,000 About
half of the workers to be dismissed
are employed in Washington, it was
said.
The ultimate number of workers
to be dismissed will depend to
great extent on the departments
annual leave financial liability.
When an employe leaves the Gov
ernment, he must be paid for all
the leave he has coming to him.
Thousands to Take Leaves.
In an attempt to cut down on
this potential liability, the depart
ment will order several thousand of
it's employees to take their annual
leaves next week 1t was pointed
out, however, that it doesn't neces-
sarily follow that all of these en-
ployes are going to be fired. The
department is just playing it safe
in case it does become necessary
to dismiss these workers, Labor Off
cials said.
Meanwhile. the department will
begin next week to send out 15-day
dismissal notices to hundreds of en-
ployes. The notices will be on a
conditional basis, that they will be
withdrawn if some of the appropria-
ton cuts are restored by Congress
However. department officials don't
hold out much hope on that score.

NEW CANAL

AP NeWsfeatures

MOSCOW - Work on the Neyin-
nomyssk Canal in the Kuban-en-
visioned as part of a possible link
ing of the Caspian and Black Seas
is entering it's final stages.
Besides playing an important role
in the life of the north Caucasus in
general the canal will hasten solu-
ton of a problem which has long
captured the imagination of scien-
lists.
By adding to it another canal on
the Kuban and one on the Terek
River as well as a number of large
reservoirs, scientists believe it will
be possible to layout a workable
waterway from the Black to the
Caspian Sea.
Such a waterway from Europe
to Asia apparently existed in an
cient times as is evidence by the
chain of bogs and lakes.
The Nevinnomyssk canal rounds
out a phase in reclamation of up to
100000 acres of arid steppes, the
electrification of a considerable
territory and the development of
shipping on a hitherto unnavigable
waterway.

ground water is saline and the riv-
Ell Yegorlyk, which flows through
the area, dries up in summer.
The Kuban is the only river in the
area that rises in the Caucasian
Range and is fed by glaciers. The
level of the river never drops, for
the hotter the summer the faster
the snow melts in the mountains.
The Kuban, however, does not
flow through the Stavropol Terri
tory, which needs water for crops.
Before the war Soviet engineers
drew UP a plan to make use of the
Kuban waters by diverting them in
to the Yegorlyk river and building
canals from the Yegorlyk far into
the steppes.
The project called also for sew
eral large and about 40 small hy-
droelectric power stations. The frs,
link in the system is the so kilome-
ter Nevinnomyssk canal.
The canal amounts to a new riv-
er with projected capacity of 40,.
