U. 5. Attorney Seeks
More Assistants
To Try Civil Suits

United States Attorney George
Morris Fay disclosed last night he
has asked the Attorney General to
make a survey of his Office with a
view to getting more help for his
overworked assistants on civil suits
Mr.. Fay said the three assistants
now representing the Government
on civil suits are each carrying
load of 80 cases.
Economizing on help in the civil
work, Mr.. Fay declared, is penny
wise, pound foolish" policy. The
Government, he explained. might
lose $4,000 because a case could not
be given enough preparation, al
though $4,000 would pay the SAL
aries of two good assistants for q
years.
Total of 232 Cases.
Mr.. Fay said that in the last 1C
months, 60 suits representing ST.
l25, 900 worth Of claims against the
government have been filed here
These were among 232 cases being
handled by the three assistants as
of September /. he said. At the
same time last year, there were 60
civil cases.
In addition to the claims, the
prosecutor explained. the same three
assistants must represent the gov
eminent in suits against the Presi-
dent and litigation against Cabinet
officers.
He cited as examples the injunc-
ton sought to have the Attorney
General remove several organiza-
tions from his subversive list, an in
junction sought earlier this year
against the Secretary of Agriculture
to restrain him from putting the
wheat program into force. and a
case pending against the Navy De-
partment on an $4,000 contract
dispute.
Have to Work Nights.
This undertaking isn't fair to
the men and it isn't fair to the gov
ernment." Mr.. Fay declared. If
each assistant wasn't handling sc
cases, he could put in more work on
each case. As it is, they are work.
ing nights and Saturdays"
Mr.. Fay said ne was sure his
assistants on civil suits are handling
more than twice as many cases as
those in other Jurisdictions. The
proposed survey, he said, would
show just how overloaded they are
in comparison with offices elsewhere.
Mr.. Fay said he was confident of
getting relief on both civil and
appellate cases because the Attorney
General has said he wants the
United States Attorneys Office here
to be a model for the country.
Seven New Assistants.
The Office has received consider
able assistance since he became
United States Attorney, he went on.
Seven assistants have been added
to the staff, including three in Dis
trict Court criminal cases, one on
District Court civil cases. one on
appellate cases and two in Munich
pal Court.
The additions bring the staff Of
assistants to a total of %, Mr.. Fay
said, This is an increase of nine
over the staff in 1927 when, Mr.. Fay
pointed out, there were half as
many judges on both the District
Court and appellate benches and
no Municipal Court of Appeals.

Nov. Is Proclaimed
Thanksgiving Day;
Turkey Prices High

A Presidential proclamation desig-
mating Thursday, November Is as
Thanksgiving day yesterday sealed
the doom of thousands of turkeys
in nearby Maryland and Virginia.
Dealers in the wholesale poultry
markets reported that shipments
have been unusually light thus far,
but added they expected an influx
of the big birds beginning tomor-
row. The turkey crop this year is
reported to be about 10 per cent
smaller than last, dealers said, so
the birds will not be cheap.
Some farmers in the wholesale
market were asking IS and 10 cents
a pound for turkeys, but dealers
said a plentiful supply of other
meats this year will act as a brake
on rising turkey prices.
President Truman in his Thanks
giving Day proclamation urged the
Nation to invoke divine guidance
in helping to safeguard freedom
and peace.
Text of Proclamation.
The text of his proclamation fol-
lows:
"As the traditional day of Thanks
giving approaches, our throughts in
cline, as in previous years. to the
richness of our blessings. The
spiritual endowments of our country
are undiminished; we may, as al
ways, walk as free men unafraid
Our harvests have been bountiful
our production of goods abundant
Our resources have permitted us to
aid the needy and helpless of other
lands.
We are privileged to participate
in international efforts to advance
human welfare We are profoundly
grateful for the existence of an
international forum where differ
ences among nations may be SUBJ
mitted to world opinion with view
to harmonious adjustment.
I'VE pray this year not only in the
spirit of thanksgiving. but also as
suppliants for wisdom in our ap-
proach to the problems confronting
this Nation. Believing in the dig
nifty of man and his right to live ir
freedom and peace, we ask divine
guidance in helping to safeguard
these gifts for ourselves and other
peoples of the earth.
Calls for Observation.
"Now, therefore, I, Harry S. Tru.
man, President of the United States
of America, in consonance with the
joint resolution of Congress ap.
proved December 26, 1941, designat-
ing the fourth Thursday of Novem.
Der in each year as Thanksgiving
Day, do hereby proclaim Thursday
November Is, 1948, as a day o.
national thanksgiving; and cal
upon our citizens to observe tha
day by giving thanks to Almighty
God for the bounties which have
been bestowed upon our Nation ane
by resolving to render generous as
sistance to the hungry and homeless
in other lands. thus renewing oul
devotion to the cause of good will
among men.
In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused th'
seal of the United States o
America to be affixed.
