There isn't enough money to pay them. The pink slips--called "terminations" in the language of government-will become effective early next year. The dismissals, cutting to the department's man force here, were ordered because of a shortage of funds for salaries. Million Less. Deputy Undersecretary Roger Jones announced in mid-October that layoffs would be required because congress had provided about $10 million less approximately $219-million the department hoped to have for operating purposes this fiscal year.

Officials said they didn't know exactly how many would be let out but that at least 500 will get notices between Nov. 15 and Dec. 1. Arrangements are being made to provide employment for the 500 whenever possible in other government agencies. Officials said morale is suffering under the impact of the reductions and noted that many readjustments would be necessary.

PARIS (AP)-President Gaulle apparently has been diverting some of his time from the cares of Berlin and Algeria to musings about tirement. The hint slipped out after the austere general talked privately Friday in Marseille to senators and deputies from the region of that Mediterranean port.

What he said, and how he said it, was far from clear. Several members of the small audience had different versions. The first startling account of what was said in the closed meeting was distributed by the semi- -official French news agency. Finished Soon. Quoting one of the listeners, the agency said that Gaulle considered his task will be finished, once the Algerian situation is settled.

According to this version, he was supposed to have said, "I am at the end of my road. After (an Algerian settlement) I will retire." When this news ricocheted back to the presidential party, reporters started scurrying around to parliamentarians who had been present. Conflicting versions fell as fast as autumn leaves. Most, however, seemed to agree that the president had expressed the hope that the Algerian war, now in its eighth year, could be stopped within 6 months. He also made vague references to the fact that he must die some day and that the time may come when he might no longer be able, or wish, to continue as chief of state.

71 Nov. 22. De Gaulle will be 71 on Nov. 22-his 7-year term as president expires in 1966. Many of Youths Died Trying To Escape Flames RICHMOND, Va.

(AP) Many of the 77 who died in the crash of an Imperial Airlines. plane near here Wednesday may have spent their last moments in a terrible struggle to escape the flaming craft. Officials said many of the bodies in the charred wreckage of the Constellation, which crashed while taking army recruits to Fort Jackson, S. were piled "in a jumble" at the rear of the plane. "It's possible some were thrown there but it's very possible they got there in a rush to get out," said the Virginia acting medical examiner, Dr.

H. H. Karnitschnig. Autopsies showed many had fractured legs and arms, which could have resulted from a panicky effort to escape, Dr. Karnitschnig said.

Blood tests showed a majority died of suffocation. Meantime, the work of identifying the bodies went on. By Friday night, 18 had been identified and taken to Fort Lee, where at their arrival guards stood at attention and the flag was lowered to half-staff. C. R.

Ave. S.E. Phone EM 2-1131 But hardly any of the sende ators or deputies could recall that the Algerian settlement and the ruminations about and stepping aside had been relinked. The ambiguity was clarified by a statement from the president's office a after he returned to Paris Friday, night. The communique said: "The remarks attributed he Saturday to Gen, de Gaulle by a press agency and repeated by certain newspapers concerning his future intentions are contrary the truth." Out of the welter of statements, the president's determination to finish as quickly as possible with Algeria was almost lost.

He once hoped to end the fightDeling with the nationalist rebels by the end of this year. Now the timetable has been stretched a bit. Expects Vote. After a self-determination vote in Algeria-which.

Prentis also suggested that the commission require all new businesses in Iowa to file sales tax bonds so that the state can "collect about $2,000 to 000 a month in revenue we are now losing" from what he called "fly-by-night" business operations which folded. "Everyone should carry a fair share of the tax load." Prentis said. "When we don't collect the sales or income taxes due Iowa, someone-usually the people that have been paying -has to."

Fire Claims Filed as Big As $700,000 LOS ANGELES (AP) Insurance claims from the devastating Bel-Air and panga canyon fires range from $185 to $700,000, averagling about $50,000. "They're running very high," one official said Friday. Adjusters from many of the West have poured intol the stricken area to sift the ruins of southern California's worst fire and to help homeowners collect an estimated, $24 million for insured losses. Some 450 homes were all but 9 in the BelThe General Adjustment Bureau, representing 320 stock property insurance companies, says 32 adjusters flew from as far as Chicago and Seattle to join a local staff of 82. They began examining the fire scene less than 24 hours after the blaze began--and two days before it was controlled.

How Much? GAB Regional Director Phil Simkins could not say how much Hollywood notables or other certain individuals were claiming. But he said some payments began Tuesday. "We urge the insured not to operate under shock, not to complete their under duress," said Simkins. "They've almost lost a loved one this is their loss, not ours. We want them to properly evaluate it.

Even to ask a person if rebuild a fair question right away." Simkins estimates: of the amounts claimed will be for homes, nearly for personal belongings. "You must remember that fine arts can build some of these personal claims up pretty says Simkins. Much Art. Some homes in the area, he says, contained collecItions of original paintings and statuary. Most policies will also pay holders for additional living, expenses-the motel land restaurant meals taken while family's home is rebuilt.

Though the GAB is in contact with more than 500 owners-some since the first day of the fire-it is having difficulty locating others who moved to temporary quarters and left no number. "In some areas of total devastation," said Simkins, "not so much as a single house number is left to guide the adjuster to the property." Simkins said Bel-Air victims usually were insured to full value. -Nehru- (Continued from Page 1.) tugal in the Angola debate and of South Africa on the stormy question of race segregation, It also has played a key role in the hotly disputed question of seating nist China in the U.N., press: ing perennial demands that Nationalist China be ousted in favor of Peiping.
