new legislation on an appropria-
ton bill, but advocates of the prof.
ect obtained a special rule from
the Rules Committee overcoming
the point of order.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, after calling
attention to the traffic problem that
would be created if thousands of
War Department employees now liv-
ing in Washington had to cross the
bridges twice day to work in
Arlington County and to other pub
lie facility problems that would
arise in Virginia, recommended that
the dimensions of the building be
cut in half to minimize these diff
ficulties.
Road Building Is Problem.
In one reliable quarter the belief
was expressed last night, however,
that the Senate appropriations
group is likely to vote the project
up or down in its entirety, since
the basic goal on the Army in seek
ing the building was to get all War
Department activities under one
roof
1t is generally admitted that large
sums of money will have to be spent
to increase the capacity of access
roads to and from the bridges both
in Virginia and in Washington if
the building is located in Arlington
County, with approximately SO per
cent of the officers and civilian en-
ployes of the department now liv-
ing in Washington.
1t has been reported that if the
Arlington County location is
adopted, the Army would allocate as
much as s7,O00,000 of defense high
way funds to the improvement of
approaches in Virginia. At the
Washington end, however, indica-
tions are District taxpayers would
face heavy expenditures on i'm
proved highway approaches to the
bridges.
If the Senate should change or
reject the Arlington County pro-
posal it would still await final de-
cision when the bill goes to con-
ference, since the House has ap-
proved it. If, on the other hand,
the Senate should approve the item
as it came from the House the fight
would be over.
Major Business of Week.
The big supplemental defense
bill, to which the War Department
building project was added, is ex-
pected to be the major business
before the Senate this week.
Most of the $1,000, 100000 of direct
appropriations in the measure are
for going ahead with the expansion
and equipment of the defense forces

1t also carries $1,000, 900 900 con-

session, today ordered a committee
to return to Milwaukee to conduct
a new delegate election among
members of the Allis- Chalmers To-
cal, accused of Communistic leader

After heated dispute at the
sixth national convention, United

tural Implement Workers rejected
by a standing vote the report of a
tl1ree-man committee which said it
felt fair election could not be held
because of lack of cooperation Of
the Allis-C Chalmers unit officers.
The delegates then authorized the
committee. enlarged to seven, to be

workers would continue to fight for

The convention last Tuesday re-
fused to seat the Milwaukee group
of 10 on grounds they were chosen

The three-man committee, which
returned to Buffalo yesterday upon
instructions of Mr.. Thomas, de-
clared Mr.. Christoffel insisted on
being chairman at meeting Sum
day to determine eligibility of vot-
ers and that he had refused to call
any shift meetings to make nomina-
tions.
Mr.. Christoffel said Ito this mo-
ment" he did not know why the COM
mittee did not hold the election and
added he understood by the man

1t will be months before they go

This was true of practically all the

expand after a period of great
under-use of capacity, and those
who were pressing for greater sup

about expansion. Now we face the
prospect of closing factories due to

He revealed that the navy Is
prepared to send 35 enlisted men
