Federal Hiring in July
Sets 2-Year Record
Under War Program

1Ac q 1Cou4G VI GIlc hOIGdu wal
the Government hired more
people in July than in any month
since August, 1948, and about
three times as many as the
monthly average last winter.
This was disclosed by the Civil
Service Commission which sale
that while the Defense Depart
ment and the Selective Service
System employ only 38 per cent
OF Federal civilian employees in
this country, they hired three out
OF four of the full-time workers
added to the rolls of all agencies
For agencies not primarily con-
cerned with the expansion of the
military forces. hiring was less
than in recent months. While
SO persons were hired for each
1000 full-time employees on the
rolls Of all agencies combined,
this high rate reflected chiefly
emergency hiring. Among nom
military agencies the rate was
only II per 1000.
Many Have Veteran Preference.
More than half of the new en-
ployeS are non-clerical workers
and 43 per cent have veteran
preference.
Indefinite appointments showed
the greatest increase among the
various types of appointments
made. During the first half of
the year. pending establishment
OF registers, temporary appoint
mentS averaged 1890 a month.
In July more than $4,000 tempo
rary appointments for indefinite
periods were made, more than
half by the Army.
The number of appointments of
other types also increased in July.
More than 1000 transfers were
made, the highest monthly total
since November. 1948, and proba-
tional appointments were the
highest in a year.
More than 5000 former en-
ployeS with civil service status
were reinstated, almost 5000 of
them in the military departments.
Third of Transfers Here.
About one-third of the trans
fers between agencies occurred
here, but proportionately fewer
emplOyeS were hired here than in
the field.
The commission announced it
has extended from October 81 to
December % the time to apply for
examination for medical intern.
1t said the extension was made to
permit young physicians to follow
procedures adopted by the Amer
lean Association of Medical Col
1eges for applying for internship
in approved hospitals such as st.
Elizabeths.
Because of the relatively small
number of applications for exami-
nations for mechanical trades ap-
prentice at the Naval Gun Fac
tory, the closing date has been
extended from Wednesday to
October II. The, examination is
open to youths 16. through 20
years, but the maximum age limit
is waived for veterans. Appren-
ticeships will be offered in %
trades, with a starting salary of
$848 a day.

As Witness, Accused
Man Freed on Bond

A man accused of rape today
was freed in Alexandria under
$500 bond while the woman he
is accused of attacking was held
by police under $500 bond as q
material witness.
James S. Smith, 29, a construc-
ton worker of the 900 block Of
North Columbus street, will get
a hearing Friday in Alexandria
Civil and Police Court on the rape
charge. He was shot and slightly
wounded by Alexandria police who
said he attempted to escape from
them early yesterday.
The woman he is accused of
attacking, meanwhile had not
made the bond when Smith was
freed today.
Shot by Police.
Smith was wounded in the
shoulder early yesterday by a shot
fired by Pvt. Donald Thomas, who
with two other Alexandria police
men, investigated a complaint of
groans and disorder in an alley
in the TOO block of Wythe Street.
Pvt. Thomas, Sergt. Claude
Nixon and Pvt. George Gensmer
said when they drove into the
alley they saw a man Jump UP
from the ground and start to run.
Police said when the man ignored
orders to halt, Pvt. Thomas opened
fire and felled him with the third
shot. Smith was treated at Alex
andria Hospital, then transferred
to the police lookup.
The woman who police found
lying in the alley did not require
hospital treatment although her
jaw was bruised. Police said the
contents of her purse were strewn
about the alley where the attack
occurred.
The woman. a 38-year-old
housewife from Lynchburg, Va,

ing there.
Lynchburg Woman.
The woman told police she got
into a taxicab with the man when
ne offered her ride to Washing
ton where she could get a bus to
return to Lynchburg. Inspector
Russell Hawes, chief of detectives,
said the woman told him she did
not remember what happened
from the time she got into the
taxicab until she found herself
at police headquarters.
Smith denied that he forced
the woman to submit to him,
Inspector Hawes said.

really easier than one would mag
inc. For example: Let's assume
dinner is to be at $50 and the
meat takes four hours. Place the
meat in the oven at 2:15 and set
the time for 6:15. Then an hour
and a half before meal time, or
4:45, put the potatoes and pie in
the oven and everything will be
finished and ready to serve at
once. Thus the housewife is free
for an hour and a half-to show

guests arrive.
There are seven automatic push
button controls for each of the

Far East War Spurs
Applications for VA
Home Loan ApprovaIs

The Veterans Administration S
Washington regional Office has
been Swamped with applications
for approval of housing loans
since the start of the Korean war.
Indications are that the number
of applications received at the
end of the period from July Is to
August 25 were double the num-
Der received in the 30-day period
between May Is and June IS.
The North Korean invasion be-
gan June 25. For the period end
ing on that date, VA received ap-
plicationS for approval of 731
home loans. This was a relatively
high number and reflected in
creased activity in financing of
veterans homes.
All-Time Record Set.
But with the news of the Ko-
rean war, the volume of appli-
cations took a sharp squirt, so
that for the 30-day>period ending
July 25 an all-time record was
set in the number of applications
received-a total of $50 for the
month.
But that was just the beginning,
apparently. For between July 25
and August l7-lateSt date for
which a compilation was made-a
total of 1924 applications have
been received.
Complicating the Offices work
further, said Morgan B. Callahan,
loan guaranty officer, is the ten
dency of each applicant TO want
special treatment for his own case.
Too many applicants descend
on our Office and ask immediate
action as soon as they sign a con-
tract" he said.
Activities Hindered.
Discussing recent developments,

Specialization requests have

Loan Guaranty division for some
months. The situation became so
