Variety and contrast seem to be the keynotes of the life of John Seagle, NEG baritone. Born in Paris, he has slight southern ac- cent. He has crossed the ocean nineteen times but his first pub lie appearance was at Billy Sun day revival meeting in Chattanoo- ga. Tennessee. John was only three years old at the time. He has sung for the Duke of con naught and Prince George or Eng land but his greatest pride Is the log cabin he built himself Tn the Adirondacks. He has been singing publicly for twenty-four years anu he's only twenty-seven now.
 When Borrah Minevitch and ms 7aaIs hroadcast over NEG net works, they use no music. They mount the lyrics to the song on a music stand, and follow the words.

Some of the contractors also
are very suspicious. will

Secretary Of the Interior Ickes
wantS a new Interior Building,

Secretary of the Interior 1ckes
wants a new Interior Building.
He revealed this at a recent
press conference. He pointed out
the expanding Public Works Ad-
ministration has forced out of
the Interior Building the Civilian
Conservation Corps, the Board Of
Vocational Education, the Recla-
nation Office, Office Of Educa-
ton, and beginning next week, the
Office Of Indian Affairs.
All that remains Of the old In
terror Department is the General
Land Office, Soil Erosion Division,
National Parks Office and the
Geological Survey.
At the same time the secretary
admitted he was puzzled as to his
first move toward re-consolidating
his department. Several weeks
ago, he said, he considered moving
into the new Interstate Commerce
Commissions building in the Fed
eral triangle, on its completion
next spring.
That particular move wa S
abandoned, however, on discovery
there would not be sufficient room
in the structure to house both the
Commission and Interior Depart
ment. Whether he will seek con-
struction Of a new building here
or succeed in finding sufficient
space in one of the several Fed
eral structures nearing completion
is problematical, he admits, but
observers believe the latter will be
the solution since Federal office
space is allotted by the Office Of
Parks, Buildings and Reserva-
tions, which is in the Interior De-
partment.

A GR|CUL TURE

WELDED
Will Be Brought Under One
Roof When ExtensibIe
Building Is Completed

Far-flung units of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture are expected
to be brought together under one
roof when the new Extensible
Building, at Fourteenth and B
Streets Southwest is completed.
An example is the Bureau Of
Animal Industry, which now has
offices scattered between the
main Agriculture Building, tenn
porary structures farther east on
the Mall, and experimental sta
tons everywhere from here to
BeltSville, Md.
Some of the units will be
welded together in the main
building, for which room will be
provided when other bureaus con-
solidate in the new Extensible
Building. Communication among
various sections will be easier
than 1t has been in the past,
because Of the installation Of a
mailing tube system which will
be partly ready for use next
February.
