SET-UP EXPANDED T0 HANDLE RELIEF Emergency Council’s Staff| Increased to Speed Up Prosperity. On the fifth floor of a building | named for a closed bank, plans are| being hatched for spending $4,000,- | 000,000 to catapult the country back into prosperity. PFrank C. Walker, sphinxlike chair- man of the National Emergency Coun- | ¢il and its Division of Applications and Information, operates from suite | $00 of the Commercial National Bank | Building, at Fourteenth and G sln’els.i To grease the way for swifter spread- ing of the good times money, thei Emergency Council’s offices have been expanded and supplied with new desks, new typewriters, new telephones and new workers. | < To make room for the agency new work, other space has been pro- vided for the personnel, consumers’| #nd information divisions of the coun- ¢il. which is an offshot of the N. R. A. These three groups have moved to P street, across from the Washington | Fotel. Long, bare rooms, which once gerved to display women'’s clothing sold in a department store farther up the street, have been rented by Uncle Sam %0 enable him to do his business, Pass Out Job Blanks. | The Consumers’ Division of the Bmergency Council is in the forepart of a second-floor loft above one of the stores, the downstairs portion of | hich is partitioned off into small| rooms where Emergency Council rou- tine correspondence is answered and filed. A few doors away is the beehive- Busy personnel office. where three girls | pass out thousands of blue job-appli- | cation blanks, which are filed by five | other girls while four more copy 1he|r] most salient information on blue, sal- | mon and white cards. | Upstairs, 16 girls sit at a long, deal‘ table and put together the Govern- ment Manual, the Emergency Coun- | e¢il's chief publication, filled with de- | tailed information on the set-up and duties of the United States Gov- ernment and its various branches and sgencies. ‘Mimeograph machines whir all day Jong here, and the green-covered man- | uals are piled high on shelves that reach the ceiling and extend the Jength of the side wall. 10.000 Applications Received. Downstairs more than 10.000 ape plications for administrative jobs have been received. The office is packed daily with a milling crowd of hope- fuls. Two men interview as many as possible of the applicants who lack | political sponsorship. -Behind a pil- lar, unseen from the front of the | room, sits a special interviewer, who | ees only Senators and Representatives | d men sent by Senators and Repre- Bentatives. ‘While the applications pile up, few | Jobs have yet been given. Primary | jgonsideration is given to npplicazions; ‘yeceived from the F. E. R. A. if the | ualifications of the job seeker seem | fit him for the type of work that | might arise in the administration of | the $4,000.000,000 fund. | However, it is freely stated at the Emergency Council that few persons ‘on relief rolls are qualified for the Jobs. most of which are scheduled to go to the pick of the doctors, lawyers, editors, statisticians, engineers, hold- ers of A. M. and Ph. D. degrees and other similar applicants whose names | #re in the employment office files. | Business Goes on Apace. | Two blocks away the tremendous | “business of putting the Nation back | ‘on its economic feet through the vast | sexpenditure goes on apace. The division of applications and in- | AMormation is the spark plug of the | work-relief organization. It co-ordi- | Mates the work of 60 separate Gov- | Jprnmental agencies which will cut n,! fiece of the $4,000,000,000 pie. ¥, Every project, Federal or non-Fed- | :tm. must come under the scrutiny of he D. A. I. The 60 bureaus send it #every. allotment application after a thorough preliminary examination and Aeview. # The D. A. 1. then puts the allotment sepplication under its microscope. If At finds the application satisfactory, it Aorwards its recommendations to the orks Progress Administration, the iliwick of Harry Hopkins. 5 President Must Approve. * As soon as the W. P. A, reports on “he extent the proposed project would Alighten the relief load, the application «ds transmitted by the D. A. I to the «Advisory Committee on Allotments for | recommendation to the President. This. A. C. A. is made up of cabinet officers, the budget director and lead- Jng emergency agency heads. After the President approves the *Rpplication, the money is allotted and *work, in theory, soon begins. Regional offices set up in every State ‘of the Union and in Alaska will be #large factors in the success of project Applications. These State offices must sreview the applications closely to de- | wtermine whether they are in conflict ,With other already-approved projects An the region and whether the pro- _posal comes within the scope of the &eneral policy set forth by the Presi- _dent as his ideal for the work relief “program. “SPORTS CELEBRITIES TO ATTEND BANQUET fAnnnnl “Fathers and Sons” Af- ' fair of Hebrew Congregation to Be Held Soomn.
