Budget Bureau Orders
Machine Unit Moved,
Ending Controversy
WPB Opposed Tokine
Census Workers to
SuitIund Office

Ending month-long controversy
between the War Production Board
and the Census Bureau, the Budget
Bureau has ordered the transfer of
the machine tabulating unit of the
Census Bureau to the new building
at Suitland. Md.
At the request of WPB, Undersec-
retary of Commerce Wayne Chat
field Taylor about a month ago held
up the move of the unit and ap-
proXimately 1000 workers to Suit
land from the building at Second
street and Virginia avenue S.W. The
machine tabulating division does a
great deal of work for the WPB, and
WPB officials told the Commerce
Department they wanted the unit
to remain in its present location be-
cause that was nearer at hand than
Suitlahd.
Following conferences with Off
cials of the Public Buildings Ad-
miniStration, WPB, and the Com
merce Department. the Budget Bu-
reau has now decided to order the
shift of the machine tabulating
unit to Suitland, as originally
planned. The space released will
probably be used by the Office of
Price Administration, which now
occupies most of the building which
formerly housed the Census Bu-
reau.
Though no date has been set for
the move, it is expected that the
transfer will be made in the near
future, thus completing the shift
of Census personnel from the build
ing at Second street and Virginia
avenue S.W. to Suitland.

Assai|s Appointment
OF Lee 10 Park Posts
Committee Demands
Elimination of Political
Boss Of County

Charging that the recent appoint
ments of 1t. Col E. Brooke Lee to
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission by
Gov. O'Conor and to the post of
Montgomery park commissioner are
contrary to the will of the voters" "
the Republican State Central Con-
troll Committee for Montgomery
County today called for an "elimi-
nation of the county's political boss "
In formal statement the commit
tee said Col. Lee was ''roundly repu-
dated" by the voters of the county
in his bid for Congress in the No
vember elections, and added that
the appointments demonstrate that
members of the Democratic organi-
zation in the county and Gov.
OConor, insofar as the county
is concerned, are under the domi-
nation and control of the county
political boss.
Sees Will of People FlOuted.
"They demonstrate that when the
county political boss cracks his whip
the will of the people is disregarded, y
the committee said They demon
strate also that the political boss
cannot be eliminated unless and
until each and all of the Office seek
ers under his domination and control
are eliminated, too"
Declaring that inasmuch as Col
Lees new job is supposed" to be g
full time one, the least that can be
expected is for him to retire from his
"extensive' real esate business, the
committee urged that the people OF
Montgomery County demand a
showdown now"
Col. Lee declined to comment or
the committees charges.
The statement by the committee
followed the appointment yesterday
by the Montgomery County Com
missioners of Col. Lee to member
ship on a special committee studying
means of beneflting the county from
funds provided by the Lanhaln Act
Named Last Week.

ices and facilities necessitated by
the impact of war upon community
