” NATIONAL PAYROLL REACHES NEW PEAK IN DAILY MILLIONS By Summer Uncle Sam Will Be Contributing to Support of Third of Population ‘Washington, March 12—The govern- ment payrolls are . The strat- soaring. \ ospheric total exceeds $11,000,000 a day, on the basis of a 26 day month. ‘This money is being distributed di- rectly or indirectly among more than 4,400,000 employes in the federal departments, on the works program and in emergency conservation acti- vities. In addition, an uncalculated num- ber of persons is engaged in the man- ufacture of materials used on gov- ernment projects or in providing office, housing and hospital equip- ment to the government, Including the dependents of all these, plus nearly 1,000,000 pensioners and 3,500,000 war bonus beneficiaries and their dependents, it is estimated that by summer more than one-third the population will be deriving at mo jam. The largest item on the payrolls is the labor cost of running the execu- tive departments, including the many supplementary bureaus, boards, com- missions and other offices. This amounts to nearly $5,000,000 a day, distributed among 816,000 employes at Washington and in field service. ‘The tasks performed by these em- ployes include almost every conceiv- able human activity, from delivering the mails to measuring boundary lines, About 112,000 work in the gov- ernment triangle and the 100 office buildings, hotels and mansions leased by the government in Washington; the remainder are in field and foreign service. Division of Personnel The postoffice department hires more than 30 per cent of the execu- tive personnel. Then follow in de- scending order the departments of war, navy, treasury, agriculture, vet- erans administration, interior, com- merce and a miscellany of other agen- cles of government.

German and French troops faced one another on the Rhineland frontier, In some places “within ma- e reeult of Reichsfuehrer Adolf clitler’s remilitarization of the zone. Fear of frontier incidents that might lead to armed conflict swept along the border. Machinegun-equipped Germain troops are shown at left during recent war games, while at right machinegun squad participating in similar maneuvers in the Champagne district in eastern France, scene of some World war engagements. (Asso. hown a French 000, is almost as large as the com- bined personnel of the department of treasury, agriculture, interior, com- merce, justice and state. It is about as large as the military. . The second largest item on the payrolls is the works program, which involves @ labor cost of more than $4,000,000 a day, distributed among more than 2,500,000 employes. The works program money is be- ing spent on highways, roads, streets and grade-crossing elimination; on rural rehabilitation, water conserva- tion, diversion and irrigation; on re- creational facilities, public building. reforestation farm conservation, flood control, sanitation, prevention of stream pollution and many other physical and social items. Re-equipping the Nation Through these and other emer- gency activities, the government es- tablishment will come out of the de- pression in superlative physical con- dition, its worn-out machinery and buildings replaced, its experiment stations, laboratories, offices and workshops the country over equipped with every modern appliance. Government officials say that when the depression is over the United States will have the world’s finest national parks and playgrounds, easi- ly accessible to the entire population; | an unsurpassed highway system along the coasts, across country, through valleys and atop mountains, the most skillfully engineered river, harbor and flood controls. Next on the expense list are mili- tary establishment and the emer- mey conservation, or CCC, work. The payroll for each exceeds $800,000 | a day, distributed among 286,000 sol-| diers, sailors and their officers, and more than 500,000 CCC workers. The CCC personnel has decreased in re- |cent months, but may go up again ‘soon with warm weather. It includes jenrolied personnel, reserve officer3, educational advisers and large staffs ‘of carpenters, electricians and lab- orers. The Construction Payroll The payroll on federal construc- tion projects of the PWA is about $400,000 a day, distributed among 150,000 workers. These projects in- clude the construction of public build- ings, reforestation, repairing of naval vessels, building of public roads, re- clamation, repairing of streets and roads, and improving of water and |sewerage systems. Z Payrolls on construction projects {financed by regular governmental ap- | Propriations total about $140,000 a j day. The department of labor computes jalso the employment which has been jcreated in the fabrication of materials! used on construction projects fi- ;Manced by the government. This ‘s termed “man-months of labor.” The| figure for November is 205,248, creat- ed by the PWA, RFC, the regular; governmental departments and the/ WPA. It is stated that since the begin- ning of the PWA program orders have been placed for materials valued at more than $1,076,000,000, two-thirds of which has been for iron and steel products, cement, forest pro- ducts and machinery.

TRUISMS ATTRACT WIDER ATTENTION THAN NEW THEORY Politics Growing More ‘Dirt’ Conscious, Price Deduces From Reactions By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, Washington) . A strange thing about political ut- terances is that an absolute truism, which nobody would think of disput- ing, often will attract wider attention than a bold new thought or theory. Witness the recent prediction of Post- master General Farley that this will be a “dirty” campaign. Of course it will be a dirty cam- paign. All presidential campaigns are dirty, and for that matter poli- tics itself hardly is a parlor game invented to erttertain little girls’ tea parties. If someone were to foresee @ presidential campaign which was not dirty, that would be news, Yet Mr. Farley’s words. are taken up in all directions, amid woeful forebodings. Even Owen D.

Recalls Other Campaigns Political memory is short, but it should not be difficult to recall the ramifications of the religious issue in 1928, the discredited whispers about Mr. Harding’s ancestry in 1920, the charges of disloyalty against Mr. Wil- son after the war, the satirical stories about Mr. Hoover and the gossip about Mr. Roosevelt’s health in 1932. Every man who ever'ran for presi- dent must have felt, as old Zachary Taylor did, that he had been sub- jected to the “vilest slanders of the most unprincipled demagoguts (sic) this or any other nation was ever cursed with, who have pursued me like bloodhounds.’ Possibly the explanation of the current lamentation is that politics is growing more dirt-conscious. That would be a hopeful sign, rather than the opposite. Political Trend Uncertain Is the country drifting toward radicalism, or in the opposite direc- tion? The answer heard most commonly is that.we are caught in the uncon- querable flow of ebb-tide for the old conceptions, and are being swept outward and across the unfathomed deep of radical experiment. Recent developments show how greatly this conclusion may be open to question. ‘When congress met at the begin- ning of the year, the Townsend plan was reported to be rolling down on Washington with terrifying force, tion by legislative fiat was just around the corner. Townsenders on Grill Now the house has decided by overwhelming vote to put the re- maining Townsenders on the grill of ® propaganda investigation, and the inflationists are able to muster only & corporal’s guard in favor of bring- ing their bills out of committee. Mr. Roosevelt's “no retreat” mes- sage stirred many predictions that “intrenched greed” would be hailed into the legislative forum without delay or mercy, and made to sweat for its sins. So far the summons re- mains unserved, the gallows unbuilt. And the White House is quieter than it has been in many a day. Who is wise enough to know what it all means as to the direction of political action in the future? Voteless W: Every political campaign calls at- tention anew to the plight of the! voteless citizens of the District of Co- lumbia, where George Washington's monument looks down on the tyra- | nical reign of taxation without rep- resentation. Recent open violation of the cap-| ital’s traffic regulations by members of congress has prompted Senator Borah to remind his colleagues they have no constitutional immunity when it comes to parking signs. That hardly is the point. It is not volved, but political immunity. Con- what policeman would think of in- curring the wrath of the alderman? As congress discusses, thing at any time, must get what amusement they can out of the de- bate. That is their only reward and solace, ‘WOMEN DO WOMEN’S WORK New York—(#)—Entrance of women into gainful occupations has not dis- placed men, according to a study is- sued recently by the National Indus- trial Conference board.
