SOME CHANGES EXPECTED IN ADMINISTRATOR DEMERITT WILL TURN OVER AFFAIRS TO SUCCESSOR ON MONDAY AFTERNOON With the relinquishing of the reins of FERA administration by William W. Demeritt Monday afternoon and the assumption of the office by J. L. Turnage on Tuesday, some changes are ex- pected-to be made in the person- nel. What these changes will be and who will be affected is only a matter of conjecture. However, speculation is rife and the air is img removed and that one being idemoted and reductions all along the entire set up in Key West and Monroe county. To settle the question The Citi- zen talked with W. M. Green, re- {gional administrator, this aftet- pion just after he returned from ja fishing excursion and asked | what, if any, changes are con- | templated. | To Have Full Power | Mr. Green very courteously re- jplied that the entire matter handling the situation has been {sonal representative of Mr. Green and have absolute power 'te conduct affairs in Monroe coun- ety. as he thinks will be advan- {| tageous. i . Mr, Turnage, said Mr. | will possibly wait until he |familiarized himself with workings of the units in | West and has a knowledge of the ; personnel and their ability before making any radical changes, or relieving any of those now hold- ing positions of authority. “One ‘chang@that is“ to become {effective next week is the method ‘of paying employes.

This information was not re- | ceived from Mr. Green, but was told The Citizen by others in the administrative offices who have already received lative thereto. It was also said, by W. W. De- meritt that in the future all work done on the upper keys, Key Lar- go and Matecumbe, will be han- dled from Miami.
