District Repair Shop
Ordered 10 Complete
Work on CeHbIock

A requisition for the District Re-
pair Shop to complete work on the
Municipal Center cellblock was is
sued today by Acting Police Supt.
Walter H. Thomas, apparently end
ing a controversy over policemen
doing the work.
Inspector Thomas said the repair
shop, which undertakes most minor
District government building prof.
ects, had assured him the work OF
completing two rooms adjoining the
basement cellblock would be COM
pleted as soon as possible.
Work Ordered Halted.
Six policemen were putting the
finishing touches on the room last
Friday when Commissioner John
Russell Young ordered them to stop
There had been a complaint from
the Washington Building Trades
Council.
The policemen had put up 12x25-
foot brick wall, making two rooms
for cell guards and for attorneys
wishing to interview prisoners. The
work was ordered to complete the
cellblock facilities so that the first
precinct might be moved into Mu-
nicipal Center from present quarters
at New Jersey avenue and E
street NV.
Only about two days work re-
mains on the construction, consist
ing of putting glass in the windows
and plastering the ceiling.
Two Employed for Repairs.
One police official revealed that
the practice of employing a carpen-
ter and painter by the Police De-
partment for repair work at the
precinct stations was begun several
years ago.
There still is one policeman hired
expressly for carpentry work and
paid private's salary, the official
said. Until a month ago, when he
retired, a painter also was employed
by the force under the same salary
arrangements.
The latter surprised observers one
day by showing up for a painting
job with a pistol strapped around
his waist.

After Ju|y25
West Issues Ruling
On Free Tuition
In District Schools

Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West has ruled that students from
nearby Maryland and Virginia who
are attending District public schools
will have to pay tuition fees If they
were not enrolled before July Is.
Amount of these tuition fees de-
pends on a special committee Of
District officials scheduled to meet
September 8. Irving Bryan, as
sistant corporation counsel, Is chair
man. Other members will include
a representative from the Board Of
Education, the District Auditing De-
partment and the District Budget
Bureau.
5000 Pupils Expected.
School officials estimate more
than 5000 students are coming to
District schools from areas outside
the District. Most of these have
been exempted by law from the fee.
These exceptions, however, we're
ruled out by the 1948 Appropriations
Act which said no part of District
school appropriations could be used
for pupils who dwell outside the
District.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
several weeks ago asked Mr.. West
for an Interpretation Of the act.
Previously. nonresident students
whose parents were employed in
the District or Federal Government
or were in the armed services were
allowed to attend school here free.
Also, any student or parent Of o
student who paid q real estate tax
in the District could be credited
with the amount Of that tax on his
tuition charge.
July rs Limit Set.
The 1s4s Appropriations Act
stated, however, that the limitation
prescribed would not apply to pupils
who are enrolled In the public
schools on the date of the approval
of the act, which was July Is. Any
enrolling after that date will have
to pay the tuition fees.
During the last school year, fees
for out-of town students were:
Teachers college, $500; senior high
school, $160; vocational high school,
$170; junior high school, $110; ele-
mefftary school, $40; vacation school,
$720; evening school, $l1; veterans
summer school, $17.55, and Ameri-
canization summer school, S11.

Maximum Cut
In Federal Jobs
putat2oo,ooo
Officials Scale Down
Estimates Of Effect
Of Fund SIoshes
By Joseph Young

The drop In Government en-
ployment resulting from con-
gressionai budget cuts will not be
more than 900 600, unofficial Fed
eral employment figures showed
today.
Federal officials acknowledge the
employment cuts have not been as
large as they first anticipated.
During Senate Appropriations
Committee hearings on the various
appropriation measures, after the
House had sharply cut expenditures,
officials estimated considerably
higher rate of dismissals than have
taken place.
Chairman Bridges and Taber of
the Senate and House Appropria-
tions Committees have charged
Government officials with waging q
propaganda war" against Congress
in an attempt to have some Of the
funds restored. They contended that
Government officials deliberately
exaggerated the number of workers
that would have to be fired.
Disputed by Officials.
Government oficials dispute this,
asserting that some employment cuts
were averted through the tighten
ing up OF administrative functions
and reorganization. And, they say,
the vefy fact that the Senate was
more liberal than the House saved
thousands Of jobs.
More important than even the
Jobs involved are the important
services and functions that had to
be curtailed as result Of the cuts,
these officials contend.
The War Department suffered the
biggest employment slash, which is
only natural since 1t Is the largest
department in the Government.
About 100000 War Department en-
ployes have lost their jobs since
January when the new Republican
Congress took over.
Navy Dropped 5000.
The Navy Department has dropped
about $4,000 employees. About $1,000
Veterans Administration workers
have been released since January.
The Treasury Department took .
$4,000 personnel cut, with about
4.5eO of the dismissals In its Internal
Revenue Bureau. The State Depart
ment dropped about 1000 employees,
about 800 of them in this country.
The Agriculture Department lost
about 10000 employees and the In
terror Department about 5000.
The National Housing Agency has
been pared down by 1000 workers.
Meanwhile, the Post ONCE De-
partment has added $4,000 employees
to Its pay roll.
Complicating the picture are the
personnel ceiling requirements set
up by the Seventy ninth Congress,
which called for employment reduc-
tions during the past six months.
Therefore. the Eightieth Congress
can't take credit for the entire 200,-
600 employment drop, although 1t
is responsible for most of the re-
ductions.
Federal officials estimate that
about 15G, 900 or more OF the 100000
dsmissas resulted from the budget
cuts made by the Eightieth Con-
gress.
On January ST., the first month
Congress was in session, Govern
ment employment totaled 1884 ,13o.
The latest Civil Service Commission
employment figures are for June 30,
showing Federal employment at
2,131,0O0 However it is estimated
that at least 10000 Government
workers were dismissed during July
