At the same time today the Public

fects and find homes in the cities

ployes involved in the transfer. The

Meanwhile, Senator Wiley. Re-
publican. of Wisconsin wrote to
President Roosevelt. approving the
agency transfers already announced
and urging him to move other bu-
reaus.
Referring to the transfers ordered
last week, Senator Wiley wrote in
part:
In doing that, you put into ef-
feet what many of us contended
should have been done long ago,
only we believe you have not gone
far enough.
I'VE hope that step is but the be-
ginning of decentralization of Gov
ernment agencies. We believe there
are many more agencies which
should Immediately be taken out of
Washington. So doing will make
government efficient.
There is great demand in this
country for a pruning of all Gov
ernment activities and agencies
which are not necessary for defense.

United Federal Workers will meet at

aiding employees affected by the de-
centralization. Efforts will be made
to facilitate transfers for those who
wish to remain here, and assistance
also will be given in housing and
other details.
A statement issued last night by
Sidney Katz, secretary Of the Mary
land-District of Columbia Industrial
Union Council &C. I. o.. declared
that the council feels this move is
necessary to national defense and
we are going to tell our members in
the agencies being transferred to
keep their chins up and preserve the
agencies morale"
He said that the employees should
accept the move 'in good grace as
the least kind of wartime sacrifice. 4"
Mr.. Katz approved the Patent Office
move because of the amount OF space
occupied by persons doing business
with the agency which will be re-
leased, he explained.

Martin Postpones
January Meeting Of
6. 0. ?. Indefinitely
War Won't Set Aside
Elections Next Year,
Choirmon Emphasizes

The meeting of State chairmen
and vice chairmen of the Repub-
hcan National Committee scheduled
here January - has been indefl-
nitely postponed, Representative
Martin OF Massachusetts,, the ma
tional chairman, announced last
night. He explained that war con-
ditions have persuaded me that a
postponement of that meeting is de-
sirable."
Mr.. Martin emphasized, however,
that the unity necessary for the waI
effort does not mean the setting
aside of the 1942 elections and the
abandonment of the two-party sys-
TEN.
The Constitution requires con-
gressional elections to be held every
two years" he said. I'VE cannot
as a Nation set aside these elections
without amending the Constitution.
If we dispensed with the elections
we would be discontinuing our
american form OF government.
"Once discontinued, it might be
impossible to restore. 1t must not
be forgotten that the war is for the
preservation of our system of gov
ernment and our way of life The
Republican party will support Presi-
dent Roosevelt to a man in the
war effort, but it expects senatorial
congressional and State elections to
be held next year and We will fight
to win"
Chairman Martin recalled that
he had suggested two months ago
that Lincoln Day celebrations
should be held in every State, and
that these should be arranged.

the Senate Committee in Charge of
District Appropriations.
John Darby and Jennings Bailey,
jr., of the American Patent Law As
sociation. outlined inconvenience
| that would result to both patent
lawyers and employees of the Patent
Office if that agency is moved to
New York.
Mr.. Darby pointed Gut building
in Washington containing 125,000
square feet of space is available for
use of the Patent Office and could
be rented for 81 square foot. More
over, he said temporary building
could be erected for the Patent
Office at the cost of its removal to
New York.
Comdr. K. c. Caldwell and 1t. Col
! F. H Vanderworker, Navy and Army
liaison officers respectively, with
the Patent Office, cited the diff
culties that would be involved in
maintaining close contact with the
Patent Office if it is shifted to New
York.
Young Backs Officials.
Commissioner John Russell Young,
when asked If he had any comment
to make on the removal program,
said he did not question the wisdom
of the executive officials.
The joint committee will meet
again at the call of Senator McCar-
ran.
The decentralization move has an
important bearing not only on the
future of the District, but particu-
larly, on the city's finances. Senator
McCarran told Federal and District
officials, civic leaders and patent
lawyers as the hearing started.
Reports indicate that 10000 en-
ployes are to be moved, and we have
been advised that others are to
follow" Senator McCarran said.
That will of necessity effect the
financial and social life of the Dis
trict The social life of the city is
vitality effected. Thousands of per-
sons who have a place of abode here
will be disrupted when contentment
should prevail"
Says Congress Inconvenienced.
Senator McCarran pointed to the
inconvenience that would be caused
members of Congress by removal
of Government agencies to other
cities. He said members of Con-
gress must of necessity be in close
contact with all Federal agencies,
and since they have no appropria-
ton to pay long distance telephone
fees, they are faced with bearing
the cost Of such expenses out OF
their own pockets. Further, he de-
clared, telephone trunk lines al
ready are overburdened. and con-
gressional calls would add to the
load
Eve know that to scatter these
agencies throughout the country Is
going to affect materially the finan-
cial side Of the District" Senator
McCarran said.
Il am advised the Patent Once
Is receiving special consideration.

Representative Baldwin, Demo-
crat, of New York a member of the

temporary emergency bureaus"
"At first blush,' said Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee. It believe mistake has
been made in the order quickly
moving the Government agencies
out of Washington, especially the
Patent once"
The Civil Service Commission de-
Capitalization ONCE which was set
up to facilitate transfers resulting
from the move reported that tele-
phone calls from workers seeking
information continued to be heavy.
1t was said, however, that only about
two dozen formal applications had
been received for transfers to de-
centralized agencies from individ-
uals seeking employment outside
Of Washington. that no applications
had come yet from employees want
ing to get out of the affected
agencies in order to remain in
Washington.
Patent Att0rneyS Solicited.
Local patent attorneys are being
solicited by New York concerns with
office space to rent, and while Off
cials profeSsed to be without definite
information as to the prospective
site of the Patent Office, one New
York rental agency was sending out
form letters presenting the merits
of a building 40 to Is minutes by
subway to the Empire State Build
ing, the new home of the Patent
Office"
At the Office of Planning and Space
Control, it was said that the space
problem would be handled by the
special unit being formed under
the Public Buildings Administration,
and that until this new organiza-
tion was functioning, it would be
impossible to furnish any details
about projected moves.
Whether negotiations were being
conducted with the Empire State
Building management was another
question that went unanswered.
In view Of the uncertainty appar-
emily surrounding the transfer, it
was suggested that officials SEEM
ingly had decided to shift the Pat
ent Once to New York without any
idea of where it eventually would
land there.
II won't say that" one official
said.

Office space and housing facilities
for $4,000 Government employees
would ease the existing acute

would be one way of halting the
mass exodus of Government agen-
cies and urged members of both
committees to TRY and put it over
as soon as possible"
Fowler Gives Testimony.
Walter Fowler, District budget off,
cer, told the joint committees the
removal of thousands of Govern
ment workers undoubtedly would
affect the financial status Of the
municipal government.
He pointed out there are between
1000 and 5000 acres of land avail
able in the District for any use the
Federal Government may want to
make of it during the emergency.
He mentioned specifically IT acres
at the home for the aged and inflrm
at Blue Plains, the farm at st.
Elizabeth's Hospital and hundreds
Of acres" in the southeast section.
McCarran Is Irked.
Early in the hearing a threat to
put officials of Federal departments
lating to the removal from Wash
ington Of the Government agencies
was made by Chairman McCarran.
Senator McCarran made the
threat when Frederick F. Lawton of
the Budget Bureau said he did not
have pertinent data desired by the
members for their study of events
leading up to the drastic removal
order of President Roosevelt.
Unless members of Congress are
dealt with carefully we will put these
people under oath and get the facts"
declared Senator McCarran. 1--WE
are going to get the facts and we
are not being critical"
Senator McCarran made the
statement after trying to learn from
Mr.. Lawton how much time and
study had been given to the whole
sale removal plan, and the probable
cost.
