G A net decrease of more than 500,000 Federal civilian employees in the continental United States during the last six months of 1945 was reflected rather generally throughout all parts of the coun try, according to a State-by-State , tabulation of Federal employment based on a recent survey made by the U. S. Civil Service Commis sion. In the continental United States, Federal employment totaled about 2,400,000 at the beginning of 1946, compared with more than 2,900,000 shortly before V-J Day and with slightly over 3,000,000 at the war time peak in June 1943. This rep resents an overall, net reduction of 20 per cent from the peak figure and largely reflects cuts following V-J Day. In Washington, D. C., Federal civilian employment totaled 229,- 400 at the beginning of 1946, com pared with 256,700 six months pre viously and with the war-time 000 and 200,000, while two States had larger totals. The five States (California, Illi nois, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas,) which had (as of January 1, 1946) more than 100,000 Federal workers account for more than a third of all Federal employment throughout the country and also accounted for approximately the same proportionate reduction since V-J Day. The bulk of Federal war workers are civilians in Navy Yards, Army Arsenals, Air Stations, and other naval and Military installations, while some work in local offices of emergency war agencies. X Red Cross Drive Goes Over The Top WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MAY 15TH AND 16TH JOHN CARROL — RUTH HUSSEY I In “BEDSIDE MANNER” Also: SELECTED SHORTS County Chairman M. A. Bouk- night has announced that McCor mick County went “over the top” in the recent Red Cross Drive. A quota of $1,100 was set for this County and this amount has been turned in with more solicitors yet to report. A surge of pride dwells in our hearts. McCormick County citi zens can always be counted on to rally to their responsibilities, for they have never failed to exceed a quota asked of them since the beginning of the war. Sincere appreciation goes to Mr. Bouknight and each of his co workers, both colored and white, for a job well done. Coming Soon—Jack & Leslie— Radio Stars of WRDW in persoa on stage.
