By the Assoeiated Press


BUENOS AIRES. Sept. 2s-The
Chamber of Deputies approved to-
day 1948 budget equivalent to
$l,575, 100000.
The budget reflected increased
costs of the governments social
Justice program and the campaign
to industrialize Argentina. Opposi-
ton legislators contended the Peron
administration actually would spend
more than $2.750, 100000 because the

operation of the city government of

Clocks Are Set Back

Washington worked on Eastern
Standard Time again today.
Except for the face of the clock,
things changed comparatively
slightly and little inconvenience re-
suited from the turn back Of one
hour at 2 am. yesterday.
MosG workers arose this morning
to find the sun had been up since
500 am. instead of 7:02 Many of
them, however, will not be home
before dark because the sun sets at
5:54 pm. instead of 6:54 as it
would have under summer time"
The clock fixing situation was well
In hand, according to the Western
Union and the Public Buildings Ad-
ninistration. Fred Neal, Western
Union ONCE manager here, said
more than 5000 electric clocks under
its control in the District were cut
of at / am. for one hour.
Approximately so which had been
operating on Standard Time during
the summer had to be reset
manually because they would have
been an hour slow under the auto
matte stop plan. Mr.. Neal said the
company had sufficient men to care
for those clocks without Interrupt
tion in service.
About $4,000 clocks in Federal
buildings also returned to standard
time without much trouble, a PBA
representative said. This work was
begun in some instances as early
as last Friday night

clared. He said that Government
employment had dropped by 1882
during the month.
Mr.. Rees also sharply criticized
what he charged was the failure OF
the commission to find jobs for dis
placed career employees.
The Kansan, who launched a drive
months ago to find Government re-
employment for permanent -status
employees who lost their jobs in the
economy drive, charged that "the
number of displaced career employees
Is increasingly inexcusably."
Charges Hasty Action.
He made reference to the commits
sion's new program to replace war
service employees with displaced
career people. but said that the COM
mission and the agencies were max
ing a "hasty attempt to conciliate
their differences with respect to this
program In order to show results be-
fore Congress reconvenes."
Meanwhile, he said, the number Of
jobless career people keeps increas-
ing.
IF the Federal Government is to
have a real career civil service, the
executive departments and agencies
should recognize the necessity for re-
tanning In the Federal service loyal
and efficient career employees" Mr..
Rees declared.
The commissions displaced career
employees program began last week.
In an attempt to quickly find jobs
for these employees. the commission
has ordered the various departments
and agencies to hire the quota as
signed them at the penalty Of being
ordered to fire three war service
workers for every career person they
refuse to hire.
, The commission believes that this
program will finally get results.
