SAIGON, Indo-C China. Oct. 10
(Pl.-French military censorship

serious reverses being suffered by
the French army in North Indo-
China.
Military authorities are refus-
ing to furnish war correspondents
with facilities normally accorded
them. French army censors make
deletions in dispatches without
advising the sender. Correspond
ents have been advised by their
home Offices that some messages
are arriving after delays of up to
70 hours, so badly cut as to be
unintelligible.

Civil Service Orders
Recruiting Of Workers
In Own Communities
Instructions to Agencies
Designed to Minimize
Housing Problems

The Civil Service Commission
today ordered Federal agencies to
conflne recruitment of new en-
ployes as much as possible to the
manpower supply available in
their own localities.
Agencies here were told to hire
new workers from persons in the
Washington area, rather than re-
cruit people from other cities.
The same instructions were Civ
en- agencies in other cities regard
ing the desirability Of limiting re.
cruitment to the area in which
an agency is located.
! Mistakes" of Last War Cited.
Commission officials said the
order was issued to avoid the
mistakes" of the last war when
agencies recruited many thous-
ands of out-of-town employees.
Some of this couldn't be helped,
but in many cases available per-
sonnel could have been found in
an agency'S own city, commission
officials said.
AS a result of indiscriminate
out-of town recruitment, a num-
Der of cities. particularly Wash
ington, found themselves faced
with housing and building space
problems. Commission officials
said the new order is aimed at
minimizing these problems in con-
nection with the present national
emergency recruitment program.
Order Is Flexible.
Personnel officials said the new
order would give greater job op-
portunities to persons in the
Washington area seeking Federal
employment. At the same time.
the order will reduce the oppor-
tunities of Washingtonians seek
ing Government jobs in other
parts of the country.
Commission officials pointed out
that the order was flexible enough
to permit agencies to engage in
out-of-town recruiting whenever
there wasn't enough local man
power for a particular type of
job.
Ample Manpower Here.
Commission officials expressed
the opinion that for the pres
ent at least there Is enough
manpower available in Washing
ton to fill practically all Federal
job vacancies here. Defense agen-
cies here have announced plans
to hire 1890 additional employees.
The officials said there are thou
