WHAT THIS COUNTRY NOW NEEDS

It's because of Mr.. Guthridge
that the new Social Security
building is occupied mostly by
the Office of Production Manage
ment (the Knudsen-Hillman set
up), the Office of Emergency
Management (the overall de-
Tense organization and Army
Ordnance. and much of the So
cial Security clerical staff is in
Baltimore, where two warehous-
es are serving as temporary
quarters.
It's because of him that the
new Railroad Retirement build
ing was handed over to the
army. With almost every inch
of available space now occupied,
defense workers are being added
at the rate of 1000 a month Tin
Washington. Guthridge's job is
to find space for them and he
has against him the competition
of such organizations as the Brit
ish purchasing commission which
has taken over one floor of the
Willard Hotel, three apartment
buildings, private mansion.
Aside from the greatly increased
embassy staff, the British are
said to have about 1000 en-
ployes in Washington.
Temporary Since 1917
The war and navy depart
ments now are using old build
ings that were called temper
ary' in the World War. They
are aged frame finder boxes
where one of the strictest office
rules is against smoking.
The palatial new war depart
ment building is nearing compile
ton. and the new five-acre navy
office building bordering Airing
ton cemetery in Virginia will be
finished in a few months. These
may take care of ten or eleven
thousand workers. Guthridge
will tell you that that's hardly a
drop out of the bucket And it
isn't. Last week, army and
navy alone added 800 new civilian
employees here.
That's what is happening to
Washington these days.

the airport of Damascus and are
ready to hurl a final conquering
blow against the ancient Syrian
city. Itself. British war bulIe-

Admitting strong opposition
from French troops, but denying
Vichy reports that the British
force is in danger of being cut
off, Cairo said the capture of
Damascus had been delayed by
efforts to prevent damage to the
historic city.
Rejection of the ultimatum
calling for surrender of the city
now will place responsibility for
its destruction on Vichy, British
sources declared.
Reports from Vichy said a
French counter attack has driven
some British forces back to the
Palestine frontier, with the
whole invading army in immin-
ent danger of being cut off from

French naval units are said

blows to British concentrations

progress now, according to the
bulletin,

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Vis-
itors to Washington-under-un-
limited-emergency almost inva
riably mutter "All is confu-
sion".
l have written about the
growth of the capital city under
national defense before, but it is
continuing story becoming
more amazing each day and
month.
1t is something WashingtoniarS
eat and sleep. 1t is a more gen.
eral topic of conversation than
the war or weather. And it is
not surprising that this is true
or that the casual visitor thinks
this a city of utter confusion.
Since the census was taken
last year, it is estimated that
Washington has increased its
/ population 10 per cent or almost
10000 persons. This does not
take into consideration the thou.
sands who have settled in the
suburban towns in Maryland and
Virginia-AlexandAia, Arlington,
Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Silver
| Spring and others. 1t doesn't take
into consideration the thousands
! of new visitors-persons who
have discovered new interest
in government and want to see
how the whole shebang works;
relatives and friends of the num-
berless new defense workers;
business men here to confer on
defense contracts; soldiers and
sailors from nearby stations.
Rooms Hard To Find
| What any visitor is likely to
discover first is that even if it
is an off-week, he may have
trouble getting accommodations
at any of the city's 28 first-class
hotels unless he has made reser-
vations a week or more in adj
vance. If he is out from 7:30 to
$3.50 in the morning or $3.50 to 6
in the afternoon, he'll buck the
push of federal worker traffic
that reaches its peak in those
hours staggered hours seem
only to have spread congestion
over longer periods).
AT times when he is likely to
be in the mood for eating or
drinking. he'll find the restau-
rants and bars filled to capacity
/ and probably lines of waiting
/ customers in the former.

night or anytime during a storm
