Chairman Lanham added that
while the Government mileage was
such an enormous amount business
men attending conferences with Fed
eral agencies here were put to equal
ly large mileage expenditures.
Mr.. Dirksen said that while head
quarters should be maintained in
Washington, such agencies as the
Bituminous Coal Commission, the
Federal Trade Commission and the
Interstate Commerce Commission
could do their work as we'll II not
better in other more central loca-

the President. He said congestion
here Is ''intolerable."
Mr.. SABBATH also criticized the War
Department for location of certain
defense establishments. Questioned
why the locations were selected, he
said that decisions are made by men
who hold themselves superior to
Congress. He also said certain men
on the retired list are employed by
large corporations-who might rec

in two weeks. He said the War
Department had figured on having
between 100000 and 100000 square
feet ready in six months.
One of the clinching arguments
used by War Department spokes-
men besides the increased efficiency
to be gained by concentrating activ-
tiles under one roof was the relief 1t
would provide housing and trafflc in
the District.
1t was brought out that additional
traffic on already the overloaded
Highway Bridge would require either
doubling the width Of that structure
now four lanes wide, or construction
OF another bridge.
Other Advantages Cited.
1t was brought out at the hear
ings also that many of the II build
ings now occupied by various War
Department Offices are apartments,
which could be remodeled again for
residential occupancy and relieve
the District housing shortage
Another factor considered was
that the 10000 automobiles for
which parking space would be avail
able would be taken off the streets
of the District during the day when
traffic congestion is greatest.

House Rules Committee, author of
the decentralization resolution on
which the hearings are being held:
ranking Republican member of the
House District Committee. and Mr.
Reedv, who is a tenant holding a
new lease in the apartment.
Chairman Lanham, as well as
Representatives Dirksen and SABBATH,
said that the Dupont Circle trans
action had emphasized the housing
congestion in Washington. the con-
centration of Federal activities here
and the adviSability of transferring
certain agencies to other localities
for economy and efficiency and for
the relief of those who must find
housing here.
To Resume Tomorrow.
The hearing will be continued to-
morrow and then will be adjourned
until Tuesday.
According to Mr.. Reedy's testi-
mony. a sale or transfer of the
apartments from one corporation TO
another was camouflaged in such a
way that the tenants did not know
who the owners were or whether the
property had actually been leased to
the Government.
The name of Senator Tydings of
Maryland came out in the hearings
as one who was interested in pur-
chase OF the property before the date
of the transfer of stock. Mr.. Reedy
also said that Mr.. Guthridge had
told him that the owners had not
come to the Government with clean
hands"

s+aeeMakeup
Out of Place
In Daytime
BY DONNA GRACE

IT'S NICE to keep up with
beauty aids. to know new make
ups and how best to tfeat the
hair and complexion but the
urge to wear something unusual
is always dangerous for those
who can't stand ridicule.
We are thinking of false
lashes on lovely young teenyons.
Few of them think of wearing
such artificial fringes but occa-
sionally they are seen.
Horrible Example
Last Saturday while at a foot
ball game we were seated close
to group of lovely college girls.
They were all well-groomed,
natural and charming. That is,
all but one. She was about II,
small, good-looking. but affected
and too, too, artificial.
Her hair was a brilliant
orange red, from the wrong kind
of tinting you may be sure. Her
makeup was conspicuous but
the worst thing about it was
long fringes of black lashes
sweeping away down on her
cheeks.
I'm sure she couldn't see much
of the game as the lashes were
a thick screen over her eyes.
She wore artificial nails-long
enough to be the pride of a man.
darin,s bride. Two had dropped
off and the poor girl was trying
to remember to keep her hands
in her pockets.
Pathetic i.
Her clothes were copied from
the Hollywood siren manner and
with all the grotesque get-up she
was a pathetic little hing. She
was just a nice little girl who
wasn't clever enough to note the
rules of good grooming. She had
the old-fashioned idea that stage
makeup and clothes would make
her more attractive.
It's fun to make up IN this
manner but one should indulge
the fancy in privacy. Some col
lege groups gather in one room
and make up each other in the
most startling effects but never
think of appearing in public like
extras on set.
False lasheS should never be
included in a teenyon's makeup.
They are harsh and much too
conspicuous for any lovely young
face.
