BY the Asseeioted Press

Officials of the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Admins
tration said yesterday that most
employees of the dying organization
are leaving their jobs with several
thousand dollars worth of accumu-
lated salary and bonuses in their
pockets.
This information was given in
response to inquiries about bonus
payments which the defunct agency
was reported to be paying.
In 1916 representatives of UNRRA
member nations meeting at Geneva
were told by staff leaders that the
agency's employees were leaving fast
to get jobs with more permanent
United Nations organizations. The
Geneva meeting then voted a bonus
system or incentive payment" plan
to encourage employees to stay on.
Officials said that under this plan
an employe with more than six
months service could collect bonus
of one months pay. The bonus
could not exceed two months pay,
the officials said. In addition, the
employe had to have satisfactory
work and conduct records. The
plan was designed. officials said.
to offset the fact that UNRRA could
not offer its employees permanent
job security.
In addition most employees who
have left the organization in the
last two years or so have collected
other funds which accumulated to
their account. Many had accrued
salary - for example, regular pay
they could not collect because OF
foreign duty All had some accrued
annual leave, plus leave for over
time work because UNRRA operated
under pressure and vacations and

cause they had to have notice be-
fore dismissal under UNRRA's rules.
All got back their individual five
per cent salary contributions to a
"provideht fund" plus UNRRA's
parallel contribution of 71a per cent
of each individuals salary.
AS q result of these various pay
ments some of UNRRA's long time
employees in recent months have
gone out to look for new jobs with
as much as $4,000 or $4,000 of
terminal emoluments in their
pockets"

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Burgess

He has made checks which break
