 Sometimes pentrating com ment on current affairs as seen through non-official eyes lies hid- den beneath the pleasantly. Here's an ironical anecdote widely-re- peated as a result of Germany's grab of Austria, which brought German troops to the Brenner Pass and the borders of Italy. Ac- cording to the yarn, when Hitler recently visited Italy with quite simple entourage, Mussolini said to him:
 But Adolf, I thought I would see you surrounded by your field

 After the staying, Morris body was entombed in the cement floor of rented South Hadley camp. Last month, investigators theorized, the slayer exhumed the body and tossed it into the Connecticut river, where it was found floating June g.

 London, July 5.-While Europe covers in a state of perpetual goose-flesh, because of war scares, the only thing that keeps people from collectively jumping into the river is an occasional laugh. That's why the jokesmiths still ply their trade amid the gun- smiths, and sly little stories pass from mouth to mouth, relieving the tension and providing a back ground of homely comment on the pretensions of the great and near great.

SEVERAL AGENCIES
WILL Be SHIFTED.
Apex Building Completion to
Pave Way for Other
Space Changes.

With the Federal Trade Commission
scheduled to move into its new home
in the Apex Building, Sixth street and
Constitution avenue NV. about April
!, 1t was learned today the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the
Social Security Board are planning to
occupy the vacated space.
Clay j. Guthridge, chief of the Dr.
vision Of Government Space Control
of the National Park Service, Interior
Department, revealed that the Federal
Government is about to make its big
gest shift in months. At the present
time the Federal Trade Commission
occupies the building at 718 Eight
eenth street NV, known as the old
Premier Apartments, as we'll as the
Rochambeau, BIS Connecticut avenue
NV. and the connected building
around the corner at 1924 street NV.
Plans Being Prepared.
Under plans now being prepared,
the Securities and Exchange Commits
sion will occupy the Eighteenth street
premises. which are just across the
street from its headquarters at Eight
zenith street and Pennsylvania avenue
after April l. At the same time the
Social Security Board will move into
the other quarters the Federal Trade
Commission now occupies. The board
is preparing to consolidate some of its
activities scattered in various parts of
the District in its new space and ena-
Bile some crowded units to expand
The headquarters Is at 1874 F. street
NV. and it also occupies the old
Potomac Park Apartments at Twenty
first and c streets NV.
The Apex Building is nearing COM
potion at the tip of the Triangle. This
work Is under the jurisdiction of the
Procurement Division OF the Treasury
Department and the interior phases
OF the job are being finished as rap
Idly as possible. Indications are that
the Government will wait until the
entire work is completed before NOV
ing in any of the Federal Trade Com
mission units.
Completion of the Apex Building
will terminate the ambitious Triangle
development program for housing the
Federal Government, actively launched
in 1926. and constructed at total cost
OF $4,000, 000-rewriting the map of
downtown Washington in the process.
The buildings embrace the Depart
ment of Commerce. the Labor Depart
ment, the departmental auditorium,
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
the Post Office Department, the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue, the Depart
ment of Justice and the Archives
Building. and the Apex Building will
close the present program.
Other Changes in Prospect.
Fully to round out the scheme, 1t
will be necessary to eliminate the old
Post Office Department Building at
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, the old Southern Railway
Building at Thirteenth and E streets
NV. and probably the District Build
ing. and in their stead have buildings
that will conform architecturally with
the rest Of the program. Further, the
Grand Plaza, Just east of the Depart
ment Of Commerce, will have to be
brought into being with a fountain
In its center.

Sponsors Of the Dead Mans
basin water conservation and irTf-
CATION project on the MusselsheIl
river near ShawmuE win ask fed
erat aid from special funds TO com
piete the project. Final details Of
the plan are being worked out In
Helena to be forwarded 20 WPA
officials for approval The plan
was discussed with the state water
conservation board.
It is hoped sufficient money may be
obtained from two special federal
sources to complete the project. There
Is q special allotment Of 5000, 900 Ia
q presidential fund for construction
and assistance Of irrigation IN western
states. OF this fund no more than
$4,000 may be given 70 one project and
this amount must be repaid. There is
also another special WPA fund allo-
Gated as grants. 1t win be necessary to
obtain money from both these sources
to complete the project, It is stated.
It Is believed about 100000 win be
necessary for rental Of equipment and
expenditures of this class.
The state board said It will be neces-
sary to sign $4,000 acres for purchase
OF water from the project. The rate
would be about 81 cents an acre-foot,
which is next TO the cheapest water In
the state. It is not known whether this
would include maintenance cost but II
not the cost of the water per acre-foot
would still be one Of the lowest in the
state.
Construction activities Of Peter Kie-
wit g. Son, general contractor on the
upper MuSselshell project. were extend
ed to the Twodot vicinity with the de-
livery Of three new draglines.
Work Of digging the north bench
