CIVIL SERVICE
RENOVATION
0NHAND
BY J. EARLE MOSER

eliminating more than two
years Of agitation for the move,
the Civil Service Commissions
present quarters in the old Patent
Office Building are at last receiv.
ing the promised renovation that
will make F Street a straight thor
oughfare up to Pension Park.
Workmen actually began the
renovation Monday, when F Street
was roped off from pedestrians
and removal Of the massive gran
lite StaircaSe-that was seldom
used-begun. The stairc ase
reached to the second, or main,
floor.
Eventually the Commission is to
have q main entrance on the
street floor, which is actually the
basement, although the pillars
that graced the porch, or "veran-
d." of the main entrance, are to
remain.
Officials Of the National Park
Service, who are in charge OF the
operations, estimate that it will
take at least four months to com.
plete the job and possibly more If
the current winter proves unusual
" severe. Cost of the work will
exceed 500, 900, it is said.
Although the building will be
diminished in size by the opera
ton, losing most or all of its lawn
and fence that faces F Street,
working space within will actually
be increased considerably. The
patio, which formerly led to the
main entrance from inside, will
become but a large room, avail
able for desks and clerks if the
Commission sees fit.
The basement also will see
more actual use, probably for the
temporary force which the Com
mission is expected to take on
within six weeks for handling of
the recent CCC and postal exam
nations. Last week a General
Accounting Office truck was on
hand, removing piles of old files
and ledgers that had been depoS-
tied in the basement.

said to have been aimed at adver-

actually being enforced in some
quarters against union collectors.
Navy officials, it is said, cannot
see why the union collectors can't
collect after hours, which is be-

would necessitate the A. F. G. E.

NEW u. ). LOAN
IS PLANNED
ON JUNE IS
international News Service


A new $1,100,OO0,o00 Govern
ment borrowing, as part Of the
Treasury's June IS financing pro
gram, was indicated today in
Administration circles.
This figure was advanced by
fiscal experts following announce,
ment by Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau that the June financ'
ing would be made public at the
enc of this month.
The borrowing will be required
to meet 686 million dollars in notes
maturing on June Is. In addition,
it is expected the Treasury will
borrow another 500 million dollars
for soldier bonus payments, which
also fall due on that date.
The Treasury's working balance
on May 10 was slightly more than
1900 million dollars. For some
weeks the Government has been
borrowing so million dollars over
and above it's usually weekly cash
raising activities as part of the
bonus payment program.
Federal note obligations total
ing 1854 million dollars mature in
August. It is DOUBTED, however
whether the Treasury will borrow
money for these notes in the June
financing.
