New 6. A. @. Building
To Have EscaIators
As Well as Elevators
5000 Employees, Now
Scattered Over City, Will
Have Quarters There

Details of the new General Ac-
counting once Building-modern in
every particular, from escalators to
air conditioning revealed to-
day by Louis A. Simon. supervising
architect of the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration.
It's $4,000 square feet of floor
space will, at some date in 1912,
gather in 5000 employees now scat
tered over the city in dozen build
ings.
Upon its skeleton of reinforced
concrete will be placed a facing of
buff brick-to form modest back
ground for the monumental stone
ediflces which will soon fill Judiciary
Square.
Land Titles Sought.
The Public Buildings Administra-
ton is now at work buying-or pre-
pairing to condemn-a large number
of private homes. business buildings
and an electric power substation
that now occupy the block bordered
by G, H, Fourth and Fifth streets
NV, it was stated. The speed in
acquiring title to and then demol-
ishing these buildings will deter
mine the date of completion. Bids
probably will be let late this sum-
mer.
Architects now are laboring on
intricate working drawings to fill
out broad plans approved by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission on January II.
Parking space will be provided in
basement and courtyardS for about
200 automobiles, under the plans.
Above the basement, which will con-
tain cafeteria, will be six working
floors and a penthouse for escalator
and elevator equipment.
Two Washington Architects.
The building was designed by two
Washington architects, William
Dewey Foster and r. Stanley Brown,
both of the P. B. A. Mr.. Foster
was an architect of the new War De-
partment Building now under con-
struction.
A portion of G place will be
closed off by the structure.
One-eighth of the blick, at Fifth
and H streets, will be left in pos
session of st, Mary's Catholic
Church. Officials said, however, fu-
ture plans could be expanded to
take in this site.

needed for the War Labor Confer
ence Board"
Referring to current strikes, Mr..
Patterson asserted that each day
that the Allis- Chalmers plant is shut,
our vital powder program is being
delayed"
Explains Labor Law Clause.
Under cross s-examination by sew
eral members of the committee, Mr..
Patterson denied that the War De-
partment's labor law compliance
clause in open bid contracts was
put in at the particular insistence
of Sidney Hillman, labor's repre-
sentative in the Offlce of Production
Management, just before a Ford
Motor Co. bid on small trucks was
expected.
The policy which the clause car
ried out Mp. Patterson said, was
recommended by the Defense Com
mission and approved by the Presi-
dent. The Undersecretary described
the clause as "a mere covenant to
comply with Federal labor laws"
He added that he saw nothing in
the provision that would take away
contractors right to appeal Ma
tional Labor Relations Board de-
cisions to the courts.
Praises Labor and Employers.
He praised labor and management
for their cooperation in keeping
labor disputes to minimum, and
the part they have played in keeping
man-days lost through strikes in
American industry lower in 1910 than
in 1899.
He added he favors requiring a
cooling off" period before strikes
can be called in defense plants.
There is merit in proposals that
would make provisions in the Rail-
way Mediation Act applicable to
defense industries, he said, but he
favored first trying the Labor Con-
ference Board method.
| Similar recommendations came
today from a special committee of
the Twentieth Century Fund, an in
stitute of research in economics en-
dowed by the late Edward A Filene,
Boston merchant.
In a report released in New York,
the committee urged President
Roosevelt:
/. Formation of management
worker committees in all defense
industries, with the establishment
of similarly constituted national
defense labor policy committee in
the ONCE of Production Manage
ment.
| 2. Establishment of Federal
Emergency Mediation Board to
serve, as did the War Labor Board
of 1918, as an institution of final
appeal from all existing conciliation
agencies.
3. Inclusion by voluntary action of
clauses in all collective bargaining
agreements to provide for mediation
and. if possible, for cooling of"
period before strikes or slockouts.
Fixed Fee Contracts Opposed.
Mr.. Patterson told the committee
that the War Department does not
favor the fixed fee" type of con-
tracts, but that most of the Army
cantonments had to be built on that
basis to insure speed.
Much of the more-than- originally
estimated cost of construction, he
said, has been due to additional
Improvements, such as paint and
! better roofing.
Our camps are much better now
than the camps Of 1917 and 1918"

Edward Arnold Makes
Police Boys Club Gift

Edward Arnold, the actor, yester-
day added his contribution to the
current campaign of the Metropoh-
tan Police Boys Club. The gift was
unsolicited, 1t was said.
In note written at Beverly Hills,
Calf, Mr.. Arnold said he was SO
impressed with the clubs work when
he visited the club last year that
II feel duty bound to donate to
this marvellous cause" Last year
he broadcast a campaign appeal
while in Washington making a per-
sonal theater appearance.
Club campaign workers will hold
an open forum at luncheon ses-
sion tomorrow in the National Press
Club, discussing ways to reach the
goal of 100000. More than $50, ,000
already has been collected, it was

authorized TO sever the relations "as
quickly as he sees fit"
Gn Sofia it was expected the
Minister would break off diplo-
matte relations tomorrow
Officials here laughed at the s'lg-
gestion made by a German spokes-
man in Berlin that Mr.. Rendel might
remain in Sofia since German troops
are in Bulgaria only as guests
They said it was highly improb-
able that Mr.. Rendel would remain
They had not received definite word
from him concerning his plans for
departure, but suggested this might
be due to slowness of communica-
tions.
Other Moves Shielded.
Britain shielded her other moves
in the southeastern European situ-
alton created by Germany's military
occupation Of Bulgaria.
Whether severance of relations
would be followed by air attacks on
the Nazi legions or other military
moves remained the secret of stra-
tegists charting the nations war
plans.
The News-Chronicle reflected a
common view that for some weeks"
1t had been known what Bulgaria
would do and "full preparations had
been made by Britain and her allies
TO meet the new situation"
The arrival in Athens of Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden and Gen.
Sir John G. Dill, chief of the British
imperial staff, from conferences in
Turkey did much to bolster British
confidence that full preparations
had been made to face the new
situation.
The Times, declaring that Bull
garias submission to German occu-
patton was no surprise to her neigh
bors or to Britain, said the presence
of Mr.. Eden and Sir John in the
suggests that fairly accurate guesses
have been made"
Stain Holding Hand"
The newspaper continued that the
Kremlin had not broken its silence,
but everything goes to show that
Stain has. not for the first time,
preferred the role of discretion and
is holding his hand for some more
propitious occasion"
The Daily Mirror asserted that
events on Adolf Hitler's second
front" now depended largely on Tur-
key.
The recent conferences at An
kara" it said, give us no reason
for supposing that Turkey is not
prepared to face her own perils.
There remains behind Turkey the
mystery of Russia"
The Daily Herald. Laborite news
paper, said the Nazi move into Bull
garia was counter stroke to
Eden's visit to Ankara."
Nicolas Momtchiloff, Bulgarian
Minister to London, was reported
to have sent his resignation to his
home government to show his dis
approval for Bulgaria's affiliation
with the Rome-Berlin-T Toxic alli-
ance and the German troop occupa-
ton.

Hull Recommends
That U. 5. Impound
Bulgarian Assets
Secretary Is Silent on
= Freezing of All
Foreign Funds
BY GARNETT d. HORNER.

Secretary of State Hull recon-
mended to. the Treasury Depart
ment today that Bulgarian assets
in this country be frozen" as have
the funds of other countries occu-
pied by German forces.
Secretary Hull disclosed this action
at his press conference, but referred
to the Treasury Department in
quiries as to whether the assets of
all foreign nations might be frozen
simultaneously.
Mr.. Hull explained that the State
Department from time to time as
Sembles data and recommendations
on the problem of foreign funds in
this country and submits them to
the Treasury and the White House.
He declined to indicate the nature
of these recommendations, however,
except to confirm that he had told
the Treasury he believed Bulgarian
assets should be tied up.

ports that the administration might

all foreign assets in the United
States, principally in order to cut
off the source of funds for German
and other axis propaganda activi-
ties. as we'll as to bolster the British
economic warfare against the axis.
Such a general order would not
necessarily prevent the removal of
axis funds, but would require Ger
many and other countries affected
to apply to the Treasury for a license
every time they wanted to draw on
their accounts here. England pre-
sumably would be subject to the
same restrictions, but undoubtedly
would receive licenses with little
delay.
Estimated at S500,000.
Bulgarian assets in the United
States were estimated unofficially to
be more than $500,000. Through
previous freezing orders, approxi-
mately s4,500,OOO 900 in the funds of
countries dominated by Germany
and Russia have been virtually i'm
modified. Countries whose assets
have been frozen here by the execu-
tive orders so far include France,
Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Nor
way, Luxembourg, Rumania-all oc-
cupied by Germany-and Latvia,
Estonia and Lithuania, the three
Baltic States which came under
Russian domination last summer
Although Rumania and Bulgaria
have signed the tripartite pact as
partners of the axis, the adminis-
tration considers that the presence
of German troops in those countries
is sign of their virtual control by
Germany. The freezing" orders
have been designed to prevent Ger
many making use of the American
assets of the nations in which the

An Easy Way
To Wash
Pans

GREASY POTS and pans have
for generations. The broiler, the
frying pan. and the stew pot are
always saved until the very end
OF the dlShwaShing, which is quite
correct, but we suspect that the
original reason for putting them
at the tail end of the procedure
was the homemakers' natural
reluctance to get at these utensils.
Like This
Washing the pots and pans need
not be messy or diStasteful task.
BY following a few simple direc-
tiOnS il can become almost as
pleasant as washing the fine china.
The first thing to do is to pour
out the grease while the pan is
still hot and the fat is still in
the liquid stage. If the fat is
re-uSable, such as vegetable
shortening. pour it into an earth
enware jar.
And Then
If the water coolS and the small
remaining amount of grease hard
ems. heat it for a minute or so
on the stove, and pour the water
down the drain Wash the pan in
the usual way in the diShpan
using sudS as hot as possible If
a dishmop is used il will be quite
unnecessary for the hands TO
touch the pan or the steaming
water Rinse thoroughly with clear
hot water, and then dry.
