Firm on 54-Hr. Week Employees Complain of Real Hardship WASHINGTON—Ia spite of protests and appeals to the White House, Lieut. Gen. Brehon Somervell has remained firm on his notice that all employees of the Army Service Forces must go on a 54-hour-week, and has put the extra time into operation. Reason given for the increase of an hour a day is t h a t ASF was behind In its paper work. But this is denied by practically all employees in W a r Department, a n d most of t h e higher officials a r e admitting, off t h e record, t h a t they are caught u p on their work. A special appeal was m a d e to t h e White House asking a n airing of t h e whole situation by J a m e s B. Burns, president of t h e American Federation of Governm e n t Employees. He said t h a t t h e order cancelling all leaves a n d vacations would work a n u n due h a r d s c h i p on m a n y people and as a result employees' morale would fall. United Federal Workers of America asked t h a t Gen. Somervell meet representatives of t h e union t o discuss t h e situation in detail, but t h e r e is n o report of t h e meeting. Vacationers Lose Out Persons who h a d vacations planned for August were t h e most bitter about t h e order.

I n a press conference held especially to discuss t h e reason for t h e increase of t h e e x t r a hour, Gen.

As to how long i t would take, h e would not h a z a r d a guess. Some of the male civilian workers were pleased about t h e extra hour because it gave t h e m a d - ditional overtime pay, but among t h e women there was unanimous opposition. Especially irate were m a n y m o t h e r s who said they h a d barely enough time a t home under t h e old schedule a n d would be forced t o quit under t h e longer work schedule. T h e r e were t h r e a t s a n d reports of wholesale resignations in ASF, but t h e Public Relations officers kept m u m about it.

State Proposes Changes NYC Employees In Feld-Hamilton Law Pay Own Bonus! ALBANY—The Feld-Hamilton law, sometimes termed "the magna charta" of State employees, may be due for change, if Budget Director John E. Burton has his views accepted. In a letter outlining his position, Mr. Burton stated that the Budget Office is disposing of salary appeals as soon as received from the State Salary Standardization Board. However, he feels that a basic readjustment in the State's general salary plan must be made. His letter was sent to Clifford C. Shoro, President of the Association of State Civil Service Employees, Mr. Burton included, together with his letter, his proposed changes, which will probably form the basis for legislation when t h e Legislature reconvenes in J a n u a r y , 1945. He also gave three conditions upon which, in his view, all salary appeals should be acted upon. Mr. Burton's material, which is of the utmost importance to every S t a t e employee, follows in full: "Dear Mr. Shoro: " P u r s u a n t to our conference today. I a m sending you this s t a t e m e n t of the position of the B u d get Office on the m a t t e r of the review of Mental Hygiene pay scales. "I feel t h a t there is a tendency for the employees to overlook the benefits t h a t have accrued to them under the classification and allocation t h a t were effective last Oc- tober 1. Real advances were made, but I will not dwell upon t h e m because employees now are a n x ious to know when their appeals are going to be decided by t h e Salary Board and when this office will pass upon the Board's decisions. "The Salary Board h a s already acted favorably upon the occupational and physical therapists and a few other titles, and this office h a s approved its recommendations. I know t h a t the Board is moving ahead on all appeals, considering evidence presented at the hearings and securing necessary additional evidence. As f a r as this office is concerned, we w a n t to dispose of each appeal just as fast as a responsible decision can be m a d e by the Board. "We are fully prepared to a p - prove re-allocations as promptly as full facts indicate a change should be made. Likewise we are prepared to deny re-allocations which will n o t be supported by the facts; but we are confident t h a t t h e points of difference between the Board and the Budget Office will be few, because I know t h a t the Board is doing a t h o r ough job. "Clean-cut 'Yes' or 'No' decisions cannot be m a d e in all cases with fairness to t h e employees and t h e S t a t e because of serious s h o r t comings in t h e existing salary plan.

Employees Ask Bargaining Rights At Navy Depot On Thursday, August 10, the United Federal Workers of America will ask Captain Charles D. Kirk, Supply Officer in Command, a t the Brooklyn Naval Clothing Supply Depot, to hold a collective bargaining election. The union's request will be accompanied by a petition signed by nearly 3,000 Depot employees. There are about 5,000 workers in the Depot. This represents the first serious attempt to secure a collective bargaining election in a Navy establishment, or any regular Government department, though elections are held in some Government-owned corporations, such as TVA. Wages at the Brooklyn Depot, say union officials, are as much as 60% below private industry rates for the same work in t h e New York area. The union also claims t h a t under the present complicated procedure, grievances remain u n settled for months, and sometimes years. Says Emilio Massa, president of the union: "Our union has voluntarily relinquished the right to strike, both during the war and in peace time as well. We have no desire to strike against the U. S. Government. We believe, however, t h a t the Government should meet and bargain with us in a democratic manner on matters pertaining to our employment, and t h a t some machinery should be set up for impartial arbitration of questions on which we cannot reach agreement." 1500 1500 1500 1500 1500 1500 1500 1860 1860 1860 1860 1860 1860 1860 1680 2040 1680 2040 1680 1680 2040 2040 1680 1680 2040 2040 1860 1860 2220 2220 1860 1860 2220 2220 1860 1860 2220 2220 1860 2220 1860 2220 2040 2040 2040 2500 2500 2500 2200 2200 2200 2800 2800 2800 2200 2200 2200 2800 2800 2200 2800 2300 2900 2300 2300 2900 2900 2600 3200 1440 1440 1440 1800 1800 1800 1620 1620 1980 1980 1620 1800 1800 1800 1980 2160 2160 2160 TROPICAT.S SI'ORTCOATS LEISURE COATS RAINCOATS 2000 2000 2000 2600 2600 2600 Originally $35 tot?5 \ 2300 2900 2300 2900 2600 3200 2600 3200 2600 3200 2900 3500 2900 3500 3200 3800 3200 3200 3800 3800 3200 3800 3500 4100 3500 4100 3500 3500 4100 4100 3800 3800 3800 3200 4600 4600 4600 3800 2800 Doc Gives Heat Advice to U.

Federal Employees Protest Dies' Right to Probe Them WASHINGTON—All Government employees are in for an investigation to see if they are engaging in political activity that violates the Hatch Act. Meanwhile, the right of the Dies Committee to conduct such a probe is under fire. The probe will be made by the Dies Committee following the charges by Rep. Dies, released last week t h a t 72 Government officials were linked with the CIO Political Action Committee in violation of the Hatch Act. Evidence of the alleged violations was presented to all members of the Dies Committee and they said on the basis of t h a t a complete investigation should be made of all Federal employees. Evidence for the first report was gained when the committee subpenaed all telegrams of the CIO's PAC. It was revealed t h a t one Federal official received 10 wires to his office here asking advice on political matters. The 72 men involved were said to be from both War agencies and permanent departments, and received salaries ranging from $5,600 to $10,000 annually. , One of the questions t h a t is going to be asked, however, be fore the committee launches its probe, is what business it is of theirs. The Dies committee is created soley to investigate u n American activity and political action, even though it might violate the H a t c h Act, it is claimed can't possibly construed as u n American in itself. Another important factor is the fact t h a t the Hatch Act is now under consideration by t h e court with regards to its constitutionality. This arises out of a a suit brought by the United Federal Workers of America. T h e District of Columbia Court last week decided in favor of t h e union. But the case is going to the higher courts. 300 ODB EMPLOYEES SIGN UP TO GIVE BLOOD NEWARK—Three hundred employees of the War Department Office of Dependency Benefits, or nearly twice as many as can be handled in a single day, have signed up to donate their pints of blood, during the August ODB Blood Bank drive. on your promise to repay tXTHEN possible, 'Personal' * » makes loans o« signature only.

Asks Draft Data Of Its Men Many New York City firemen were scared last week. When they read over the Fire Orders, they noticed t h a t four firemen were granted leave to "perform ordered military duty in accordance with the Selective Service Act." Also, during t h a t week, division, company and battalion commanders were ordered to submit complete reports on the Selective Status of every man in their commands. The information requested was: Grade or rank, age, d r a f t classification, Order Number, Local Board number. Number of children under 18, and date of appointment. But Secretary of the Department Richard F. Warner says that there hasn't been any change in the rule that firemen with 2 year's service are deferred. The four men who were drafted had less t h a n t h a t service. T h e questions were being asked to bring departmental records up to date. And that's all there is to it, he says. Civil Service Vets Want Credit For War Service Legislation to allow prior-service-credit for military service is the aim of the New York W a r Veterans in Civil Service. The organization, former shortly a f t e r World War I, points out t h a t an employee who comes into the New York City service receives time credit towards his pension for time spent as a U. S.

F The Excise Tax Bureau of New York City, which recently moved from 350 Broadway to 74 Trinity Place, is deeply' in sympathy with the moving troubles of housewives. When the NYC employees moved into their r.ew quarters —it was a warm day—they turned on the fans. Nothing happened. It seems t h a t the old building was on AC. the new DC. So 75 fans had to be sent back to the Department of Public Works to be changed around. The mimeograph machines wouldn't work in the new office either, and even the water coolers balked at the new current. These conditions are gradually being-fixed, but meanwhile, things are slightly uncomfortable. And employees of the U. S. Veterans Administration who have taken over t h : old quarters at 350 Broadway are unhappy too. They complain t h a t the elevator service is poor and t h a t the building should have been torn down 20 years ago. Page Seven INSURANCE WM. L.

Y OU have to read these examples twice in order to understand them? You can't understand them at all? Well, that's exactly our point. These sentences were written by gobbledygookers. Gobbledygookers will never use one word where two will do as well; nor will they employ one-and two-syllable words when they can say the same thing, more obscurely, with three- and four-syllable words. The two examples cited above are gobbledygook language from recent Federal civil service job announcements. Example 2 contains 72 words in a single sentence! Whew! By the time you've come to the end you've pretty well lost the thread of thought—}i you understood it all. To make sure you wouldn't understand it, the writer neglected to insert a comma after the word "established." So you read, wonderingly, . . when the need is established advises and assists . . ." This is pure gobbledygook^—verbose, confusing, and grammatically incorrect. There's a movement on to simplify "official" language. We're all for it. Civil service has long been hampered by its mystic, high-flown, and obscure vocabulary. We'd like to the Federal Commission to clamp down on the boys who write this stuff. They should be sternly informed that the language of this country is English, not gobbledygook.

I would now like to bring it to the a t t e n t i o n of e m ployees f o r t h e i r consideration.

T h e present manpower emergency brings t h e s h o r t c o m ings of the present salary p l a n i n to s h a r p focus. "A revised salary plan is offered in brief in t h e a t t a c h e d s c h e d ule. T h e schedule is simply a n ill u s t r a t i o n of principle r a t h e r t h a n a complete scale proposal.

Wise old bird! As with eggs, so with nest eggs. The best nest egg in the world today is the War Bond. It's an incomparably safe investment. It pays $4 for every $3 you put up. But... In order to get that nice fat interest, you have to CHICKEN KNOWS A sit on a Bond for the proper length of time. 10 years, to be exact. You can get your money before that, any time after 60 days. But you won't get the full benefit. You lose the interest. You take your money out of the fight. You kill off savings that might be a blessing in days when money doesn't flow as freely as it does today. Buy more War Bonds. Sit on them.
