Soviet Russia on Saturday began a campaign to purge the government of excessive employees with orders to discharge between 25,000 and 30,000 "white collar workers" In government departments and trusts.

The dicharged workers will be given twelve days' notice, after which they will be registered by the labor bureau for new jobs. It is expected they will be assigned to farms and factories needing workers.

The action is not only expected to Increase the efficiency of government, but to lower the administration costs, at the same time inaugurating a process of selection by which only those well qualified for government and economic service wilt be given jobs.
