that discussions were of military

indicated the Vichy forces would
be required to submit to Free French
occupation rule in Syria, As British
armistice terms had demanded.
Turning over the Levant mandats
to De Gaullist commanders had been
the main Vichy objection to British
demands. De Gaullist leaders, most
Of them under Vichy sentence OF

AS Grazing Service
Moves West 10 Utah
Transfer Is Designed
To Eose Congestion
In U. S. Offices

Within a week or 10 davs about
100 people will leave Washington
for Salt Lake City, Utah, as re-
suit of the transfer of the staff of
the Grazing Service of the Interior
Department TO its new headquar-
ters there
The people concerned have known
about the prospective shift for
nearly month. it was learned last
night, although the official an
nouncement that Salt Lake City
would be the new headquarters of
the service was made only Yesterday
by Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
There are about so people in the
Grazing Service, occupying % rooms.
All of the administrative officials
of the service came out of the West
in the grazing country. and so will
be returning to familiar territory
About 80 families and several single
persons will make the transfer.
There are about 20 clerks. how
ever. who did not want to go. They
have been transferred to the new
defense Office of Petroleum Co-ordi-
nator for National Defense. which is
to occupy the space vacated by the
Grazing Service.
The shift is one of the first steps
toward relieving the congeeted situ-
alton in this city to make room for
more defense agencies.
According to R. H. Rutledge, di-
rector of the Grazing Service. ap-
proval of the transfer to the West
has been instantaneous. strong and
real on the part of members Of
Congress. Western livestock associ-
ations and range users.
The Grazing Service will func-
ton as unit in its Western head
quarters, it was explained. It's only
contact with Washington will be
that of policy making with the sec
retarys Office and necessary con-
facts with other Federal bureaus and
members Of Congress.

pear to be up against stone wall
in the absence of some change in
employment regulations over the
Government. Since the Ramspeck
Act became operative July l, all va
cancies are required to be filled by
civil service personnel unless the
Civil Service Commission sees fit
to make exceptions. Home Loan
employees, for the most part, in COM
mon with thousands OF others in
New Deal agencies, have still to ac-
ouire civil service rating by taking
the non-competitive examinations
prescribed by the act. They conSe-
quently are not yet eligible for civil
service positions.
While expressing. the opinion in
the order announcing the move that
most of the employees would 60 to
New York, Chairman Fahey said
that efforts would be made TO work
out transfers to other agencies here

In all, there are ABOUT $50 en-

The local force of the H. O. L. C..
formerly was much larger. but
underwent a decentralizing process
in 1884 and 1885. That move had
been anticipated, and consequently
was carried out without affecting
adversely those concerned. 1t had
been realized at the outset that
eventually it would be necessary to
distribute the corporation units over

ficient operation, and the staff was
built up with that in mind, person.
mel from the various sections OF the
United States being assigned here
on a regional basis. When the de-
centralizat ton took place then, the
workers were sent out with their
home units.
One feature of the New York
transfer that was especially resented
by employees, comment indicated,
was the abruptness with which 1t
was ordered, the apparent total lack
of planning which preceded it. tend
ing to increase the difficulties OF
those who want to remain at work

early announcement of the cOntem-
plated shift, coupled with coherent
inter-agency transfer arrangement,
would have made it possible in some
cases certainly for persons employed
elsewhere who wanted a New York
assignment to come over to Home
Loan in a mutual exchange with
personnel there who desired to stay
here.
Home Loan will maintain a small
contact force in Washington, and
the struggle for those positions is
a warm one.
The Home Loan Building, bought
by the corporation from Acacia Life
Insurance Co., contains 10000 feet
of Office space. The new quarters
will be on several floors of 25-
storied loft building at Park ave-
nue., between Thirty second and
Thirty-third streets. in Manhattan
Extensive remodeling is said to be
necessary there, but the building is
expected to be ready for occupancy
in three weeks.
The transfer is due to be started
shortly thereafter.

5000 home-financing institutions,

Scores Of j. ). Pilots
May Be FerrYing
Planes by Fall
PIons Made to Deliver
Half Of Big October
Output to Britoin
BY the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
Official forecasts of greatly in
creased airplane production begin
ming in october were coupled yes
terday with indications in authori-
tative quarters that scores of Young
American pilots ultimately will en-
gage in ferrying combat craft across
| the Atlantic to Britain.
For several months, airplane pro-
duction has moved forward at a
relatively slow pace But by Octo-
ber, defense officials say, tributary
industries such As aluminium will
begin to turn out needed supplies
in quantities that will permit plane
manufacturers to run huge new
assembly plants at virtually full
speed with emphasis on attaining
the goal of 500 bombers a month.
At least half of these two and
four motor ships will be turned over
to the British, it is expected. giving
Britain's Atfero Corp, which ham
dies ferry deliveries, a task far ex-
ceeding its present job.
Ferry Command Formed.
Already one major step to expedite
the movement of these planes by
American flyers has been taken by
the Army through creation of a
ferry command" which now is han
ding the entire job of transferring
planes from the factories to coastal
no rit fal
over.
Evidence of the size of eventual
ferrving operations. both inland and
trans Atlantic, lies in the fact that
ferry command has undertaken a
program of training 100 pilots a
month in flying multi-engine planes.
This, it is expected, will provide
more than adequate personnel for
getting bombers to their costal take
off points, but, in itself, leaves un-
solved the big job of getting them
across the Atlantic.
Army May Release Flyers.
While the eventual solution ap-
parently may depend on the extent
of American involvement in the
war, several possible methods are
beginning to be discussed here. All
involve the increased use of United
States flyers over the Atlantic, iince
British and Canadians are required
for combat service in England.
One possibility growing out of
the recent occupation of Iceland is
that the Ferry command will turn
over planes to the British in Ice
land, going there by way of United
States bases in Newfoundland and
Greenland. Delivery to that point
would reduce Atferos ferrying job
by about two-thirds.
Another possibility is that the
Army Air Corps may permit some
pilots to resign in order to join
Atfero's staff. 1t already has re-
leased some pilots and mechanics
TO join the Chinese forces.

QUITO, Ecuador. July l2.-Ecua-

had offered July TO cooperate in
an effort to reach peaceful solu-
ton OF the century-old controversy.
In Lima. an official spokesman
said the impression prevailed In
high official circles that Peru
would accept the plan provided
it is offered as good Offices and
not as mediation.
Roberto Cache, undersecretary
of the Argentine Foreign Min
istry. announced in Buenos Aires
Friday that Peru had accepted in
principle but with some reserva-
tions the propisal to mediate.
Provides for Safety Zone.
The tripartite proposal, among
other things, would provide for
establishment of safety zone" 30
kilometers I86 miles, deep along
the present disputed frontier.
At the same time, the army high
command issued a communique de-
nying Peruvian charges that Ecua-
dorean troops had attacked Peru

This command" the commune
que said, has not ordered anv mill
tary action of Ecuadorean detach-

news has been received of any
clashes in that eastern region of

was not an uncommon situation.
Home Buying a Problem.
In many instances. it was said
one member of an employed couple is
in the board unit, and rather than
break up their homes-this was in
reference to married women-simply
would quit work if it is not possible
to locate elsewhere here. That, it
was added, often would result in
definite hardship. but no other al
tentative is offered.
Home buying raises another SER
lous problem.
Here we are" one worker COM

courages home owning Many are
paying for places in the District,
Maryland and Virginia. What hap
pens now?"
1t was pointed out further that
these workers for the most part
have been on the job for several
years, and that consequently they
have become firmly established in
their communities. Children are in
school: they have undertaken va
rious obligations. Now the neces-
sity Of making new start con-
fronts them.

Cost of Moving.
Then there is the cost of the
prospective move. John H. Fahey,
chairman of the board, announced
when the move was ordered that
reasonable moving expenses will
be paid" This, it is explained.
means train fare and the cost of
shipping household effects. Hotel
bills or other expenses incurred
while the employees are getting To-
Gated in New York will come out
of their own pockets.
The moving order was dropped on
the employees without warning, they
say, late on the afternoon of July 3.
Many of the women wept; others of
the force INDUCED in sterner evil
dences of feeling. Since then there
has been vigorous scurring
around for jobs, but, as it was COM
mented in one quarter, the outlook
is not good, particularly in the $1,000
and up brackets.
Generally speaking, the transfer
rights of the Home Loan employees
are clouded. Any who happen to
have civil service status may be able
to arrange transfers; the others ap-
