800 in WAA Facing
Loss Of Jobs Here in
Appropriations Slash

Approximately 800 of the 1000
War Assets Administration en-
p.oyes in Washington would lose
their jobs by September l under
provisions of the ls49 appropriation
bill reported today to the House,
Other independent agencies in
the bill approved by the House APP
preparations Committee generally
escaped personnel cuts and some
may be able to hire small number
Of additional employees.
The measure orders the abolish
ment of WAA on August 81 and
the transfer of its functions and
personnel to the Treasury Depart
ment. The agency's 1949 budget
request Of $106, 100000 was more
than halved to $5o,0OO,000.
800 More Would BE Dropped.
In addition to the 800 WAA dis
missals that would haye to be made
here by September. the agency
would have to drop another 300
employees here by June 80, 194e.
Nationwide. the agency would
have to dismiss more than 5000
employees by next June. At present
1t has total of 10000 workers.
The agency had planned a grad
ual reduction of its personnel to
$500 by June 80, 1949, but the COM
mittee's action would force it to
more than double the speed of its
liquidating program, WAA officials
said. The committees move in
recommending the agency's transfer
to the Treasury differs from Pres
ident Truman's recommendation
that it be shifted to the Federal
Works Agency.
VA Personnel Escapes.
The Veterans Administration re-
ceived enough money to make any
personnel cuts unnecessary. VA
may have enough funds to add sew
eral thousand persons to its staff
during the coming year.
The, Atomic Energy Commission
received funds to increase it's staff
slightly, but not as much as it had
asked.
The Maritime Commission would
suffer only personnel cuts, if any,
but it would not be able to hire the
additional 480 employees it had re-
quested. The Office of the Housing
Expediter was given enough money
to hire $50 employees in the field.

|GottwaId Is Regarded
As Leading Candidate
TO Succeed Benes
By the Associated Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, June
lS. - Czechoslovakia's Communist
bossed Parliament will elect a new
president next Monday to succeed
Eduard Benes, resigned.
Communist Premier Klement
Gottwald is regarded as the leading
candidate for the job, with Antonin
zapotocky, deputy premier and
trades union head. then succeeding
Gottwald as Premier.
There was talk, however. that
Gottwald might wish to remain
Premier, a post he has held since
July 3, 1916. In that case Zdenek
Nejedly, 10, the education minister.
or Zdenek Fierlinger, the minister of
industry, were given the best chance
for the presidency.
Refused to Sign Constitution.
Mr.. Benes, Czechoslovakia's Sec
ond President, resigned yesterday
after serving II years, rather than
sign a new constitution drawn up
by the Communist regime which
+ captured the nation last February
He had been voted life term in
1946 and Gottwald's Office an
nounced that as tribute for his
long service to the nation, Mr.. Benes
would be given the presidential
country home and paid his presi-
Dental salary for the remainder OF
his life. He is 64 and attributed his
resignation, in part, to i'll health.
Mr.. Benes' annual stipend will be
$4,000. The presidential country
home is an 18th century hunting
lodge at Lany. near the graves OF
the Masaryk family, included First
President Thomas and his son Jan,
the recent Foreign Minister. The
Masaryks owned the lodge.
1t appeared doubtful that Mr..
Benes would accept residence there
He always has regarded the place
as Masaryk sanctuary and used it
seldom during his terms in office
He has comfortable cottage
south of Prague at Sezimovo Usti
which the Czechoslovak people call
the city of obstinacy." They have
represented Mr.. Benes as sitting
out his life there, obstinately show
ing his dislike for the new Prague
government.
Mr.. Benes is q broken and sick
man. He has only a mild flicker
of the firm spirit he exhibited in
standing up to the Nazi steamroller
and Adolf Hitler. Since the Com
munists took power he has been a
figurehead.
His arteries have hardened. He
suffered stroke last summer, pos
sibly due to exposure to the sun
His resignation removed from the
government the last important
figure wanting strong ties with the
west.

Scarborough Is Bumped!
With one out in the seventh, the

when Coan flied out and Vernon
tapped meekly to Ryan at second.

Met Cormick and Russell blasted a
triple to right, scoring Mike. Elliott
was tossed out by Scarborough, but
Russell scored on Frank McCor-

placed Culberson in center.
The Mats stirred up a threatening
gesture in the ninth when Sherry
Robertson batted for Scarborough
and beat out a neat bunt down the
third base line Sullivan popped out,
but Lyons again doubled to right,
Sherry stopping at third. Coan's
fly to Russell scored Robertson and
shifted Lyons to third, but in that

Despite Cash Curbs.

the country for vacation expenses. |
with, empty pocketbooks. they
are flooding into Switzerland for
tho winter sports season. Prin-
cipally, there are three ways they
pay their hotel and saloon bills at
swank Swiss ski hotels.
Most popular procedure, 1t Is dis
closed, results from business trans-
actions. Firms shipping goods to
Switzerland have been cutting their
invoices bills In half. Swiss pur-
chasers remit the face amount and
put the other half in special bank
account In Switzerland.
Then British company executives
have only to get to Switzerland to
pick up their fat funds.
Business Trips" Allowed.
Some Swiss hotels are offering
established customers up to $500 q
week credit for the costs of their
vacations. Britons are told that
they may settle their accounts any
time in the next few years when
travel and currency regulations are
lifted.
The third method is by making
business trips. Business representa-
tives are allowed TO spend up to
$32 day on legitimate business
abroad. The sudden squirt of trade
negotiations Is making 1t necessary
for many Britons to rush to Switz-
erland. Once there, it is impossible
to prevent them from going to ski
hotels to conduct their transactions
Switzerland thus finds its resort
spots filled with British business
men.
Another Year Of Curbs Seen.
Efforts are being made to relax
currency controls and travel restric-
tions but government officials say
they doubt that they will be aban-
doned until the end Of next year
These curbs are 30 tight that the
