PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. How about your Public Relations Division? Has that been reduced in size any?

Mr. BURLEW. It has. I cannot give you the number, but I will furnish it for the record.

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. Will you insert the number of that division, their salaries, and some detail as to the publicity work that has been done since we last talked?

Mr. BURLEW. I might say this, if you please, tnat this Division handles the work for the Interior Department as well as for the P. W. A. It acts in an editorial capacity. It does not just issue press releases. I mean, that is not the only function that it performs. They edit all of our publications, and they numbered last year over 900.

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. I would be interested to see a list of those publications. I do not want to encumber the record with them.

Mr. BURLEW. Those are the Interior Department publications that I am speaking of, not of the P. W. A.

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. I would be interested in seeing a list, in any event, if it is convenient, for my own information, if not for the record.

(In addition the Press Section has issued approximately 3,300 press releases.) During the fiscal year of 1936 the Department of the Interior issued publications as follows:

Since the above compilation was prepared, the National Park Service has reported that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1937, it published 88 booklets, pamphlets, and manuscripts. The Office of Education during the same period published 77 manuscripts, not including 10 numbers of School Life.

The Division of Grazing during the fiscal year 1937 issued two grazing bulletins. The Geological Survey issued 353 publications, including 57 book publications and 30 brief papers in mimeograph form.

Since November 15, 1935, the Press Section of the Public Works Administration has reduced its staff 13 employees, as follows:

During the past year the entire field organization of the Press Section was disbanded.

REGIONAL OFFICES

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. Would you say a word as to the regional Offices?

Mr. GRAY. They have been reduced.

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. They have taken the place of the State offices?

Mr. GRAY. Instead of 45 State offices, we have 7 regional offices. Mr. BURLEW. We estimated the amount of work that they would have to perform, and when we abolished almost 90 offices, it meant a redistribution of the work. We selected the employees on an apportionment basis, by States. We did not take all of the people who lived in California, for instance, where the State regional office is located, from California. We slected them from other States in the same region.

For instance, the Regional Director in Texas was formerly in charge of the Denver office. We selected him for the Texas regional office.

Mr. HOUSTON. You selected some people from Kansas for that office?

Mr. BURLEW. Yes. We distributed them among the States in proportion.

Mr. WOODRUM. In what region is Virginia?

Mr. BURLEW. It is in region No. 3.

Mr. GRAY. That office is headquartered in Atlanta.

Mr. BURLEW. Atlanta is the head office.

Mr. WOODRUM. Who is the regional director?

Mr. GRAY. A man by the name of Cole, a Georgia man.

SALARIES OF REGIONAL OFFICE DIRECTORS

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. How do the salaries of a State office director under the old set-up compare with the salaries of the regional office directors, under the new set-up?

Mr. BURLEW. In a few cases we made an increase. In other cases we reduced very materially. For instance, we might take a State director that was getting $6,000 and perhaps offer him a $4,500 engineering position.
