Washington, July 1.—Nearly-fiOO, 000 people lost their joto or their government aid today by the scrap ping or curtailing of three depreeskm bont federal agencies that have cost more than $17,000,000,000. Congress abolished the Civilian Copserfetion Corps yesterday by de nying it funds Sor the fiscal year be ginning today. Dm start of a new government business Calendar year also saw the Woiks Progress Admin istration cut to skeleton form and heavy reductions in the National Youth Administration program. In the background of the transi tion there was a change of ems— from men hunting Jobs to Jobs hunt ing men. . Hie life of the CCC aided at mid night, and demoliration of some 60, 000 enrollee* and 15,000 civilian em ployees of the corps began thiS morn ing. The WPA, its appropriation whittled by two-thirdA from last year, was trimming its rolls down from 700,000 to 400,000. The NY A, with funds also cut by two-thirds, com menced dropping 60,000 persons from its out-of-sehool training program, to reduce the number of this activity from 130,000 to 70,000. The rising economic boom of de fense and war production already has witnesed the eclipse of the WPA, which during the depression loaned and granted more -than $6, 000,000,000 to create jobs. In its eight and a half years, the CCC spent aariy $3,000,000,000 put ting 3,000,300 youths and war vet erans through conservation, school and health programs. In 1935 the corps , had an enrollment of 520,000 in some 4,000 camps, and spent $480,000,000. Responding to im proved employment conditions, the corps dwindled in the fiscal year ended yesterday to 60,000 enrellees in about 400 camps. -The money available last year was $140,000,000. The President asked $78,000,000 for the corps for the next fiscal period, but Congress turned thumbs down. The and its predecessors, the Federal Emergency Relief Ad ministration (FERA) and the Civil Works Administration (CWA) have expended since 1983 more than $14, 000,000,000, employing at various times a total of 8,000,000 persons. Hi, much tk 1880 he dtddrf transfer to naval aviation. He I ed the mm at Pensacola Flwida, ereditahiy in the fall of 1990. was then stationed successively at Norfolk, Virginia, CoIor, Oronado, California, Philadelphia,! Pennsylvania, and again at Coronado, California. During his early flying career he had two minor mishaps, whan he had to make forced landings at sea, but each time he landed^ his seaplane skillfully and received com mendations from the Navy Pepart-| meat lor his skill and ability in handl ing hja plane and protecting the Uvea of his companions. "During hi* stay in Norfolk h«( was given additional duty as pilot instructor and M»intanf gunnery of ficer, and ■> recommending him for promotion to Senior Lieutenant his commanding officer wrote to his su perior as follows: "His of duty and his devotion to duty have | been entirely satisfactory. Bis abili ty as a pilot of patrol class seaplanes Is excellent He is conscientious, in dustrious and thorough." "While in Colon he had ,ble experience with bombing planee and his squadron mads one of the beat records in the fleet in bombing practice. "While in Coronado for the first time Navy planes attempted the first non-stop mass flight to Hawaii. Lieutenant (j.g.) Lovelace was the first alternate among the pilots aa-<j lected for the flight, and while he did not go for the rteason that all of the pilots took part, he assisted in getting the squadron off and all movies taken of the start of the flight were taken from, his plane. He re ceived a commendation for. his work on this occasion,- which stated' in part: "Your performance of duty and airmanship on this occasion was of a high order." "While in Philadelphia he was stationed at the naval aircraft fac tory and it was his duty to test new planes, and especially to catapult them. He was in charge pt the field on the night that Admiral Byrd and his man landed there for their Arctic flight. Also; he was selected to pilot the pUne that was catapulted for President Roosevelt on his visit there in the fall of 1940, when he was visit ing the various army camps and naval bases. The President had his compliments sent to him, although navy regulations prevented his being told who flew the plane. • "He was stationed in uoromaao ior the second time when war-was declar ed and immediately was sent oat into the Pacific on his aircraft carrier, the. U. S. S. Tiexingtan, looking for action. His- first skinpish came when twenty-one Japanese planes attacked the Lexington in March, 1942. Lieutenwit Commander Lore lace was in the same squadron with OUare and Thach, who have made excellent records. It was his squad ron that waa given the duty of. beat ing off the attack, as it waa a fighter squadron. After the battle Lovelace wrote his family lj<xw many enemy planes he shot down, but the censor cut out the number, but did leave in this portion of the letter that follow ed the cut out portion: "and would have gotten more except that I was short on ammunition and fuel and had to land to reaerrice." It was while his plane and many others were being reserviced that the seorad batch of Jap planes attacked, and OUare took care of them singtehaittjgfl. "He was killed in aelian on June 2, probably his second engagement with the enemy. Details of his death are few. It Ip only known t£at be "was killed in action on June 2 in the performance of his duty and in the service oi his country as result of plane crash, and was buried at. sea." "Donald, or "Don" as everyone caJTed hi®, left surviving a wife and two; children. Sallie, aged 18, and Oooald, Jr., aged 10, and his widow ed mother and a brother„ James Lovelace.

"White submarine war fare on the part of the Axis continues to take heavy toll of cargo ships . . product^of new tonnage is greatly increasing month by month (and) it is hoped that as a result of steps planned at this conference the re spective navies will further reduce the toll of merchant shipping." f productMjjp'''. the President reported American plants in Mff produced 4,000 air planes, more than 1,600 tanks, about 2,000 artillery arid anti-tank guns(ex clusive of anti-aircraft guns) more than 50,000 machine guns and 60, 000 submachine guns. "We are well en our way towards achieving the rate of prodoctionv which will bring as to our goals," the President said. This is no time, however, for the American people to get overconfi dent, because then ate plenty "of serious production problems ahead, particularly those caused by raw ma terials shortages. War Production Chairman Nelson called on Americans to observe In dependence Day this year by working for their freedoms, because "we at home dare not. have a July fourth holiday in war production." Mr. Nel son saijl the U S. War Production program will cajl 'for $220 billion worth of war gootb, of which $140 billion must be bought at' the average rate of |6 billion a month during this year" and next, compared' with the current rate of $38 billion a month.

The Office suspended de liveries to «4 filling stations in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, bringing to 78 ths total' suspended for sieged violations of rationing regulatinos.
