Sugar bribes amid Berlin power split
Soviet authorities offer half a pound of sugar free to Berliners who shift food registration to the Soviet zone. The move could bar noneast Germans from jobs, expanding Communist influence and prompting purges. Westerners report 60,000 already switched, with many west Berliners resisting despite rations.

Firing Inefficient Government Workers Questioned by Hoover Panel
The Hoover Commission and Civil Service Commission spar over firing rules as they debate how to dismiss underperforming federal workers. Critics say managers avoid actual removals by transfers and inflated ratings, while unionization and political pushback complicate terminations. The process may span months or years, though new hires can be dismissed quickly if unsatisfactory in their first year.

Capal Square And Kerr Scott Bus Route Paving Study
Two thirds of state and county road mileage is used by school buses and a third of routes are paved. Completing the Kerr Scott program would require paving 27 841 miles for all routes, or 7 720 miles if paved only where two or more buses travel. The county study by Charles Ross notes mileage discrepancies and definitional differences in road vs bus mileage.

Feasibility of All-Weather Roads for School Buses
The study suggests that achieving the Scott goal in four years is possible but unlikely. It argues it is reasonable to expect all roads carrying more than one school bus per day to be upgraded to all-weather condition within the next governor’s term.
Compilation data sourced from official records
Figures for road mileage and construction type come from highway and public works files, broken down by division and county. School bus routes data are from the state board of education and cross checked with county records for accuracy.

Report shows state and county road mileage and paved share
The report lists a total of 62 939.2 miles on the state and county maps with school buses using 41 814.79 miles, or 66.43 percent. Of that, 13 973.54 miles or 33.4 percent are paved, with a footnote noting that only concrete and asphalt roads count as paved and that included are roads in use or under construction funded by current appropriations.
Breakdown of unpaved school bus routes by bus counts
The figures show 27,841.25 miles of unpaved routes, with over 20,000 miles used by a single bus. About 7,719.68 miles remain unpaved but used by two or more buses, while paved segments are detailed for various bus counts.
Unpaved Road Figures Debate North of City
A clipped excerpt discusses counts of unimproved school bus routes and miles of road classified as unpaved, challenging prior estimates. The passage questions whether twenty seven thousand miles of such routes exist, noting many hundreds of unpaved miles in question.
Discharged employee may appeal to Civil Service Commission
A discharged employee may appeal to the Civil Service Commission only if he charges he was fired arbitrarily and without cause. The commission may recommend a new chance in a different agency but cannot order reinstatement.
