THRIFT AX FALTERS| OVER CLERKS HERE List of Cuts in Federal Per- sonnel Expected July 1 Are . Stilt Incomplete. On the eve of the end of the fiscal r 1925, the day before the much discussed large cuts in the Govern- ment personnel in Washington are scheduled to become effective, the Personuel Classification Board, the agency designated by the President to receive and pass upon all sepa- rations from the service, is without v idea of the number to be affected v the scheduled reduction in force. Any figure which would be given out today on the total number slated for release. would be little more than a guess, according to Guy F. Allen, chairman of the board. Only a few of the bureaus and divisions within the Government service in Washington. which must cut down their working staffs be- cause of decrease in appropriations have sent in the lists of employes whom they propose to eliminate from the pay rolls. Others are holding up their lists for various reasons, Mr Allen said, and will probably hold them until several. days after the new fiscal year, 1 begins tomor- Tow: A complete ation of the number of employes scheduled to leave the Government service in Washington, as of July 1. will not be available for 10 days Put Figure at 486. An_unofficial check-up®of the num her already announced as scheduled to #0 shows that mot many more than 500, and possibly less, wiil be included in the 1 to be sent to the Per- sonnel Classification Board for review. Here is the way the situation shapes up as the fiscal year 1926 begins: Two hundred are slated to go from the division of loans and currency of the Treasury, 189 are scheduled to go trom the adjusted compensation unit of the Veterans' Bureau, 37 will g0 from the Interior Department reorganization development, and will go from the State Department— a total of 486. The personnel board has received only scattered returns from those bureaus which have announced their intention of a personnel reduction, and although some few may be added by the Emergency Fleet Corporation snd other Government agencies, offi- cials of the hoard expect the total reductions as of July 1 due to reduced appropriations will not exceed 500 Talk of a total of 3,000 clerks being give ntheir walking papers is looked upon by board officials as a flight of fancy. en in the face of the limited returns they have so far, they can- not visualize any such figure as that. 100 of Dry Force to Go. The reductions to be effective to- orrow will be augmented by a de- ease in the force employed at the prohibition unit of 400 beginning Au- gust 1. This decrease will be gradual and will be spread over several weeks. The Personnel Classification Board is instructed, under the presidential executive order of June 4, to review all cases of emploves ordered dis- missed, checking on the credits al- Towed under classification, credits for dependents and other claims the em- ployes may have for retention in the Government servi Five days is allowed employes for appeal from the order of separation, the appeal to be made to the board.

Smith Claims That His Own Brand of Public FRANGE AND RUSSIA SPLIT OVER DEBTS Bonds of Latter Give Paris Serious Problem—Compro- mise Fails. By the Associated Press PARIS, June 30.—Russian bonds widely held in France constitute an “interallied debt” problem for France that is in many ways quite as serious as the money owed to the United States. A joint Franco-Soviet commission of experts has been sitting for weeks trying to find some compromise be- tween the French, who wish to be pald, and the Russians, who would much prefer not to pay their prede- cessors’ obligations. These pre-war Russian bonds sold in France amount to about 16,000,000, 000 gold francs, on which Russia paid no interest after the revolution. The French government, however, paid the coupons in Russia’s stead during the last year of the war. The French experts’ proposal, one of the plans eventually to be submitted to a more formal commission, which will try to negotiate a settlement, is that the. 16,000,000,000 be scaled down to 10,000,000,000, and that there shall be a 10-year moratorium on payments, although the interest shall accumulate during that time. The interest from 1918 to 1926, when the moratorium would begin, would be paid in French paper francs instead of in gold. This is not acceptable to the Rus- sians. They propose that the back in- terest should be cut from 4,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 francs because during that interest period France and her allles were trying to destroy the Soviet revolutionary government. In any case, they say, commercial credits of a like amount must be given by French banks when any payments are made by the Soviets. The serfousness of the problem lies in the fact that there are several mil- lion small bondholders in France, many of whom look at their unpaid coupons and blame the French gov- ernment for not collecting for them. (SRR EDITORS FIGHT DUEL. Offended Italian Loses in Battle. Reconciliation Follows. ROME, June 30 (#).—Tullio Gior- dana, editor of the Tribuna, and Gio- vanni Amendola, editor of the Mondo, fought a duel today because of an ar- ticle in ‘the Mondo which Giordana considered offensive.
