In the hands Of skilled workers
of the building trades for several
months hence, is expected to bring
with it partial alienation Of at
least two major complaints Of
Government employees.
Suitable parking space, lack Of
which has caused loud and justi-
fled yells from personnel ever
since the Governments artistic
element gained permission to re-
model that part Of the city oc-
cupied by Federal buildings. will
be provided in the basement Of
the new Interior structure, Of
ficials declare.
While the basement garage Is
not expected to hold 5000 cars,
which Is the approximate number
Of employees who will toll, talk and
tally the ball scores on the floors
above, it is pointed out that but
two, perhaps three, Of every five
Federalites bring cars to work.
After executives, administrative
assistants. chiefs, SubchiefS and
section straw bosses have been &C
commodated, it is felt that q con-
siderable portion Of the rank-and-
file proletariat will find available
space for whatever pieces Of the
finance company'S property it hap
pens to hope to eventually own.
Another benefit Of the new
structure is to be q cafeteria,
one Of the largest In the city
according to Interior press hand
outs. The cafeteria situation is
bad in many spots Of the Gov.
eminent: has raised complaint
ct Agriculture, Interstate, Cen
eral Accounting Office and other
places. Interior moguls, who will
probably allow the Government
Welfare Association to run the
restaurant, lay the best Of mod
ern appliances will be installed
and believe it may prove Of
value to other Federal workers
In the George Washington Uni
versity region whose offices are
inadequately equipped for lunch
hour.
This phase should also apply
to parking, as the streets near

folk ineligible to shoot into the
garages gloom at the morning
rush hour.

TeSentative P. L. GaSsaway, Clown
Frank Portillo, Of the Govern
ment Printing Office, and 10
Indians signed up for an indoor
circus at the willard, have a
new promotion angle underfoot.
They've started a "first voters"
Roosevelt Club, designed to al
low all the ProgreSSives and Re-
publicanS (if any), who desire to
vote for Roosevelt but do not
wish to affiliate with Democrats
rs such. to come together and
talk over the idea. Credit Is
being handed Paul Best, FILA
administrative assistant, for think
ing Of the idea-until his rival
z. DIS come forward to claim
their share.
It is said, however, that the
First Voters Club will not cause
the fights with which the Y. DIS
have distinguished themselves in
the past, as there win be no
officerships to scrap over and
Everybody will be working to-
ward the same purpose"
