Civil Service Orders
All Bureaus 10 Stress
Rehiring Of Retired

The Civil Service Commission
with an eye on the tightening
labor market, today sent out in
structions to all Federal depart
ments and independent agencies
on the rehiring of retired en-
ployes.
The unemployment of annui-
tants is not a new procedure. but
the commission foresees the neces-
sity' of tapping the supply of
retired workers on larger scale
than in the past.
It's circular notes that "it will
be necessary for the Federal Gov
ernment to explore all possibilities
for recruiting qualified employees"
and suggests that, among other
sources, department heads should
consider employees who have been
retired from service because of
disability retirement. optional re-
tirement or retirement because of
age"
Most of these employees have
had long experience in the Federal
service and have acquired special
skills and qualifications which can
be utilized during the present
emergency" the circular states.
The commission expects that
the most fertile recruiting field
will be found among those retired
under the Governments optional
retirement plan. In certain cir
cumstances, this permits workers
to retire at the age of SIS after
80 years service.
However, it will be found that
many of those retired for disa-
bility or for age will be found
physically qualified for certain
types of duties" the circular adds.
Departments and agencies are
urged to make full use of this
source of recruitment"

"One guess places the real
figure much closer to $45 billion,
he declared. "To make even an
educated guess of the amount the
Russians are spending is COM
plicated affair indeed"
DR.. Walker admitted there is
no valid comparison, dollar fo1
dollar, between what the United
States spends and Russia spends
on it's military effort" The only
thing positive Is that the United

Clifton A. Woodrum, 63, Dies;
Former Virginia Congressman
Headed Plant Food
Group Since Leaving
House in 1o45

Former Representative Clifton
A. Woodrum of Virginia, member
of Congress for % years, died un-
expectedly today of a heart attack
at his Washington hotel. He
was 63.
The former ranking member of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee had been serving as presi-
dent of the American Plant Food
Council, Inc, since his retirement
as Representative from Virginia S
sixth congressional District in
1945.
Members of his Office staff said
Mr.. Woodruff was at his desk in
the Barr Building yesterday and
appeared then to be in excellent
health.
He was stricken about 5 am. at
his room in the General Scott
Hotel. where he was living alone.
He died an hour later. after tele-
phoning his private physician.
Throughout his long political
career, Mr.. Woodrum was known
to his colleagues as a leader of
the moderate and conservative
element on the Democratic side
of the House-a position which
frequently put him at odds with
the administration leadership.
During the prewar period of
big congressional spending for
national defense and later, dur
ing the years of World War II, he
served as ranking majority men,
ber and acting chairman of the
Appropriations Committee. While
he piloted huge appropriation
measures through the House he
continuously voiced a demand for
economy.
Once described as "a moderate
who would like to go along with
the New Deal but has the courage
to oppose it when he can't hon.
estly agree" Mr.. Woodrum occa-
sionally differed sharply with the
Roosevelt administration. Even
after his retirement, he seldom
missed an opportunity to take a
slap at White House policy when
he thought it in error. He always
remained, however, in the Demo-
cratic camp officially.
Among his pet New Deal aver
sions was the Works Progress Ad-
ministration, and it was his efforts
which brought about a congress
sional investigation of the agency.
Among the results was the discon-
tinuance of the Federal Theater
Project, which he considered a
shocking misuse of public funds.
For his efforts, he was soundly de-
nounced by New York City critics.
Born in Roanoke.
Representative Woodrun was
born in Roanoke, Va. His formal
education was brief. At the age
of 13 family financial troubles
forced him to leave school and
get job, first as an errand boy
and later as a soda-jerker.
While working at the drugstore,
he took time off from sundaes
to study pharmacy, becoming a
licensed pharmacist. Then he
studied law, eventually graduating
from Washington and Lee Uni
versity.
Admitted to practice in Roanoke
in 1908, he made a reputation
