B—12 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C. FRIDAY. JUN PLAN FURLOUEHS TOCUTDISHISAL Administrative Officers Pre- paring Program to Operate “Spread-Work” System. With rotative furloughs sanctioned by { s passage of the independent offices bill, adiministrative officers of the Govern-| ment today were turning their attention | to plans for putting into effect this *spread-work” principle to avoid dis- | missals under reduced appropriations. | Because of the uncertainty that had surrounded passage of the bill until it was gotten out of the way just before | Congress adjourned, little headway had been made in the various agencies toward reaching any definite conclu- | sion, a survey of the departments dis- & position to predict its course. 5 Per Cent in Furloughs There, it was said, the would approximate two weeks, being estimated to save about 5 per cent on its appropriation ‘The Treasury, it was explained, figures to bring expenditures 25 per cent under the appropriation for the current year, thus conforming to the campaign prom- ise of President Roosevelt for a saving of | that amount in Government costs. This | would be divided—15 per cent pay cut; 5 per cent furloughs, and the other 5 per cent by non~flum§ of vacancies, reduc- tion in travel allowances and such other economies as it is possible to effect, always with the idea of avoiding dismissals. One branch of the Treasury is being hit under the economy wave, however, 1,500 enlisted men of the Coast | ‘Guard being due for dismissal by June These removals are already under y, and will cut the force to about Many Departments Uncertain. At the Department of Labor, while definite plans have not been made, it was said that, in general, the use of furloughs will be comparatively light. ‘Within the next few days Secretary of Labor Perkins is expected to outline just | what is to be done in her department. The Interior Department also ex- E‘Ed to have an idea of what was to done in the next couple of days, but elsewhere there was uncertainty. In one or two of the departments, it was said at the Bureau of the Budget, it had not been decided what the expenditures in the next fiscal year ‘would be. All departmental appropria- tions were passed by the last Con- gress, but were revised downward by the new administration. Due to the veto of the independent offices bill by President Hoover, the new Congress, however, had the task of revising the sums carried in that measure. One department in which it was said today the appropriation to be al- lowed still was uncertain is Agriculture. Some bureaus there face furloughs that probably would have been unnecessary under the previous appropriation, the saving being effected by cutting down the extra employment ordinarily af- forded in the Summer. Postal Service Not Affected. ‘The departmental service of the Post Office Department will not be affected, as it is now and has been for some years held to 8 minimum. In the postal service itself, furloughs are to be ap- plied, but Postmaster General Farley, who sponsored the rotative furlough plan, has not made known the extent of these. Among the independent offices, the Bureau of Valuation of the Interstate Commerce Commission apparently faces the most rigorous application of the economy doctrine, as the bureau appro- priation of $2,750,000 for 1933 was cut to $1,000,000 for 1934, with the repeal | of the recapture act. Valuation Staff Faces Cut. ‘The valuation staff now is 910 per- sons, and on the face of matters, it was said today, it faces a heavy cut.; The Commission, however, has not de- cided as to just what will be done. The Civil Service Commission funds siso were cut sharply, but there, fur- loughs are to be depended upon en- tirely to take up the slack. Untdl the independent offices bill went through last night, those groups could not be certain as to just what they would receive and how it would be spent. Although the rotative furloughs are not mandatory, it was the consensus today of administrative officers that they would be used as far as possible, although, it was pointed out, where the cut in funds went too deep, it would mot be possible to proceed on this basis. The retirement proviso is expected to afford some relief, and the transfer of funds from one activity to another was alsQ seen as & helpful factor.

LOS ANGELES, June 16— Police received with gravity yes- | | terday a letter from Mrs. Kath- erine Shevlin of New York, ask- ing them to look for her son, James Shevlin, 22. They read she had heard con- tinuously from him until last March 3, when he wrote to say he had a job in the movies pay- ing $3 a day and that he was “keeping out of trouble.” She ex- ! | pressed fear he might have been | | one of the March 11 earthquake victims But the police can tell Mrs. Shevlin her son was not injured in the earthquake—for early the next morning, March 12, patrol- men shot him to death.

Indications that Norman T. Whitaker intends to contest his conviction in the Lindbergh baby ransom hoax, despite a reduction of six months in the two- year sentence imposed upon him, were seen yesterday when he appeared in District Supreme Court to ask for an extension of time in which to note an appeal. ‘Whitaker was convicted with Gaston B. Means of conspiring to steal $35,000 from Mrs. Evalyn Wash McLean by fraudulently leading her to believe they :-e;; in a position to ransom the stolen Sentenced to Two Years. After the trial Whitaker was sen- tenced to serve two years in the peni- tentiary by Justice Daniel W. O'Dono- ghue. At that time he asked to be given some credit for the six months he had spent in jail awaiting trial Justice O’Donoghue then declined to grant any reduction in the sentence on this account. Several days later, how- ever, he had Whitaker brought back into court and reduced the sentence to 18 months, explaining that he had de- cided Whitaker was entitled to some consideration for the time he had spent in jail. Ajs a result of this action, Whitaker's move toward an appeal came as some- thing of a surprise. It was pointed out that it will take nearly a year for an appeal to be heard and passed upon, and, unless released on bond, Whitker will have to serve this time in jail without receiving credit for it. Ground for Appeal. The principal ground for appeal is his contention that the jury should | have been instructed that it could con- vict one defendant and acquit the other if it saw fit to do so. An indictment charging Means and ‘Whitaker with conspiring to steal $100,- 000 from Mrs. McLean was dismissed yesterday. This indictment covered sub- stantially the same offense as the one upon which they were convicted. BANK SUES BORROWER $60,851 Action Is Filed by Riggs on 1932 Loan. Suit for $60,851 was filed in District Supreme Court yesterday by the Riggs National Bank against Willlam W. Mc- Claine, 3316 Newton street. Through Attorney Selig C. Brez, the bank con- tends it loaned $62,700 to McClaine on July 15, 1922, and that only a small portion has been repaid. W. .
