Senator MAYBANK. Most of the newspapers came out and said that 125,000 Government employees in Washington had been exempted, but when you break it down as this statement does, you see there were 36,215 exempted by the War Department, 63,891 by the Navy Department, 6,000 by the War Shipping Administration, and 3,600 by the Maritime Commission, you find that there are hardly a thousand people exempted, after you take out these war agencies.
