mittee on Need for
More Funds.
CUT IN RENTS SEEN

Chairman Cochran Says Building
Cannot House All dead"
Documents.

Chairman Cochran Of the House
Committee on Expenditures In Gov
ernment Departments charged today
the Government could vacate many
of the apartments and buildings 1t
has rented In Washington If it would
destroy useless and dead" documents
which jam about 20 per cent OF the
space In the Federal buildings.
Cochran made the statement at
hearing conducted by the committee
to determine the need for additional
funds for the new Archives Building.
The committee first sought to find
out whether the building Is too large
or too small and whether it is over
or under stated with employees.
Connor Called In.
r. w. D. Connor, archivist, was
called before the committee to explain
plans for operating the Archives
Building and the duties Of the pres
ent lit employees.
Il was up there recently with Mr..
Burlew of the Interior Department, ~
said Cochran, land we found more
employees wandering around in the
halls than were at the desk. They
came out In the corridors and looked
at us as though we were q couple Of
movie celebrities"
Later, however, when Connor ex-
planned the nature Of the work that
will have to be done when the project
gets fully under way, Cochran Won
dered how so few employees will be
able to handle all Of the detail.
Cites Dead" Files.
Cochran described the Archives
Building as q Reed Smoot memorial" f"
declaring the former Utah Senator
sponsored the project. He also argued
that it was originally proposed as q
place fol- housing treaties. important
historical documents and other out
standing Government records.
Cochran pointed out. however, that
II the dead" Government files are
taken over and stored in the building
there will not be sufncient room to ac-
commodate all Of the records.
connor was erilled with q continu-
GUS stream Of inquiries about the plan
for operating the building. He ex-
planned that only recently the first
block Of storage space in the building
was completed and meanwhile the
employees had been extremely busy
making surveys of various Federal
departments to determine the guam
titles Of documents each would turn
over to the Archives Building. In
about a week. he said. the National
Archives Advisory Council will meet
and approve a definition stating what

PRIVATE PENSION
SAFEGUARD TO Be
/ ASKED BY CLARK
Senator Tells Joint Commit
tee Desire of Law at
This Session.
Meeting ADJOURNS
STUDY QUESTIONS
Actuaries Seek Views of Congress
Group on Policy-Another
Meeting Planned.
RY Il. A. O'LEARY,

Every effort will be made at this
session of Congress by Senator Clark.
Democrat, of Missouri, to obtain leg
islation to safeguard the rights of en-
ployes working under private pension
systems in industry in connection with
the social security program, he said
today as a joint congressional COM
mittee resumed study of the problem.
The Joint Committee adjourned
after brief executive session to give
its members time to study 20-page
questionnaire submitted by some OF
the actuaries to get the views OF COM
mittee members on questions OF policy
Another Meeting Planned.
Chairman King of the Joint Com
mittee announced he would arrange
with Representative Doughton, head
of the House group, for another meet
ing after the data has been studied.
He also pointed out that some OF the
experts could not be present today.
Although the committee did not get
beyond preliminary informal discus
sion today there were indications they
still hope to reach some solution OF
the private pension question.
The Senate last year approved the
Clark proposal to exempt from the pay
roll taxes on employees and employers
called for by the social security Law
to finance the Federal old-age retire
ment plan any concern operating its
own pension system equal to or more
beneficial than the Government pro-
gram. The private pension amend
ment, sponsored by Clark, was elm
mated in conference, with the under
standing the joint committee would
try to work out some compromise al
this session.
Private Pension Safeguard.
Pointing out that there is consider
able doubt as to the constitutionality
of the two sections of the social secur-
ity act relating to the Federal old-age
pension plan, some of the supporters
of the Clark amendment in the Senate
believe it is essential to take some
action to safeguard private pension
plans already in existence, at least
until the constitutionality Of the Fed
eral act is passed on. 1t has been esti-
mated there are more than 100000
employees working under private retire
ment plans equal to the benefits and
in some cases, more beneficial than the
Federal plan.
The fear of supporters of the Clark
amendment is that these private plans
may be done away with when the
Federal taxes for old-age retirement
start next year, and that the social
security law later may be declared un-
constitutional.
