TUGHELL 0 THW TAOFMRR A 2,500 of Total to Lose Jobs in Two Weeks—16,600 Now on Roll. By the Associated Press. Gradual lopping off of 7,500 em- ployes—about 400 of them in Wash- ington—from his Rural Resettlement Administration was ordered today by Administrator Tugwell. Tugwell plans to rid his agency of 2,500 of “these workers within two weeks and 5,000 more within the com- ing few months. The R. R. A. now has 16,600 men and women on its pay rolls. Most of the workers are in the fleld, with only 1,711 in the Capital. Of this number, 123 are working in the Rural Resettlement Division, 202 in the Suburban Resettlement Divi- slon, 257 in the Land Utilization Di- vision and the remainder in the head- quarters staff, which includes plan- ning, finance, legal, information, per- sonnel and similar divisions. The most extensive pruning will be done among the 12,500 field workers inherited by Tugwell from the Rural Rehabilitation Division of the F. E. R. A, The administration has four operat- ing divisions in the field—Land Util- | ization, Rural Resettlement, Suburban Resettlement and Management. Almost all of the employes of the Land Utiliza- tion Division were absorbed from the Land Planning Division of A. A. A.| and the Land Program from F. E. R. A. | This unit originally had 2,700 em- | ployes in the fleld and this number already has been reduced to approx- imately 1,900. Approximate figures were said to have been used because many persons are working on a per diem basis and because additional reports are being received daily from local units in the field. The new Rural Resettlement Divi- | sion has taken over most of the State | rural rehabilitation corporations and | many parts of the State relief organi- | zations. It is this unit which handed to Tugwell 12,500 employes. It is| from these rolls that 2,500 employes will be dropped within two weeks. ELY CALLS FOR HALT ON WORKS PROGRAM| Former Governor Fears Tax Bur-| den May Handicap Reviving Business. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, July 31.—The Boston | Traveler says former Gov. Joseph B. Ely yesterday declared: “The time has gone by for public works programs.” | The Traveler, in an interview with | the former Governor at his home in ‘Westfleld, Mass., said Ely sounded an optimistic note for business but dis- paraged Gov. James M. Curley's pro- posal to raise $20,800,000 for public | works in the State by floating a bond issue. “It's too late,” the paper quoted Ely. | “Underlying business conditions have shown such improvement due to nat- | ural causes that the Government | should withdraw from pump-priming | projects at once. “The only thing the Government should do js provide against hunger end cold. Call it a dole if you will Beyond that they should not go at | this time. | “This sounds harsh but in the long | run will be the kindest principle on which to act because it will hasten business recovery and thereby give NOTABLES AT WEDDING OF-MARJORIE GLASGOW Daughter of U.

It was understood the recent Italian gold decree will facilitate payments to Great Britain. British credit ac- counts with Italy totaled about $7,- 500,000. R S Widowers Under 20.
