Protests Trunsfer
Of u. S. Agencies
Congress Acts Quickly To
Halt The Proposed
Exodus

Washington, d. C.-FOllOwing pro-
tests by the American Federation of
Labor against the order by the Budget
Bureau directing removal of various
Government agencies from the District
of Columbia to other cities, Congress
acted quickly to halt the proposed
| exodus.
A group of Senate and House lead
erS were promised an interview with
President Roosevelt on the matter after
Senator McCarran had introduced q
| resolution declaring that the Budget
Bureau order was without authority
of law and contrary to the will of
Congress. The resolution further pro-
vided that no Government agency shall
be moved from Washington without the
consent of Congress-
The entire problem was first can
vassed at Il special meeting of the Ma
! tional Joint Legislative Conference of
the American Federation of Labor and
the Railroad BrotherhOods to which
Senator McCarran was invited. Will
| liam c. flushing, chairman of the AFI.
Legislative Committee, presided at this
conference which drew up strong
declaration opposing the transfer of
Government agencies to other cities.
| President William Green then trans
mitted this declaration to President
Roosevelt. The President was informed
that the proposed transfer was un-
necessary, that it would entail unwar'
ranted expenditures, that it would
work incalculable harm to the eff
cheney of Government operations and
that it would be destructive of the
morale of Government employees.
! The declaration of the conference
further pointed out that there is ample
Government-Owned land in the District
of Columbia for the erection of TEN
pOrary office buildings to provide new
space for expanded Governmental ac
tivities and for the construction of suf
ticient housing for new Federal EN-
ployes coming to this city. This con
struction program, the representatives
Of the Building and CONSTRUCTION
Trades Department estimated, cOult
be completed in from 80 to 100 days
and the cost would not be high.
Following the submission of these
protests to President Roosevelt, Mr.
flushing appeared before a joint meet
ing of the Senate and House District
Committees to testify against the pro
posed transfers. At this hearing, I:
mystery developed as to just who hat
ordered the transfers in the first place
and why. AS II result 1t was decided
that a conference be held with Presi
dent Roosevelt to find out the solution
to the mystery. The Director of the
Budget refused to appear at the hear
ing and no justification was presented
for the removal order

WATCH YOUR SCALES

Consumers need to watch scales
closer than ever in war time, to be
sure their every food penny counts. It's
no time to relax the protection that
weighs and measures laws give honest
dealers and consumers alike, says Con
Sumers' Guide, publication of the Con-
sumers' Counsel Division of the De
partment of Agriculture.
For full measure. here are five
things to keep your eye on when your
purchases are weighed:
l. See that the scale registers eX-
actly zero before any food is put on it
9. BE sure the pointer doesn't waiver
but comes to Il complete stop on the
scales before the food is removed from
the scales.
3. Don't let the clerk accidentally
weigh his thumb or his hand with your
food. See that his hands are complete
ly off the scales while he's weighing
your purchase.
i. See that the weight of the con,
tainer or box in which food comes isn't
included in the weight you pay for.
:. Check up on the weights and
measures ordinances i'm your com
munity If there are such inspections
have your StOrekeeper show YOU the
official seal that certities his scale is

Labor Representation Asked
"'rhe basic principle of the Ameri-

shaved.

The Executive Council wishes to

We freely concede to industry the right

This article deals with the Interna-

Appeal Made By Ddniel ].
Tobin. President Of
TeumsterS

Washington, -. G. ILNS).-The
American Federation of Labor EXecu-
tive Council, in mid-winter meeting
here, asked the Government to modify
he tire ratiOning order ITO meet the
requirements of all vital transportation
services. including delivery services eS-
Sential to maintain the health and well
fare. as we'll as the unimpaired eff
| cheney and morale of our civilian popu-
lation."
The council declared there is no i'm
mediate danger of Il shortage of rub
ber for military needs and said that
1.-The present almost complete StOp-Order
on the sale of rubber tires threatens to
disrupt our entire civilian economy"
'''rhe order has created Il situation
so serious that il would warrant a
searching examination of all facts by
Congress before the drastic curtailment
ordered becomes permanent" the coun-
ell said.
The councils appeal was made on
motion of Daniel J. Tobn. president of
the brotherhood of Transfers, many of
whose members are threatened with
| unemployment because of the tire
shortage.
Our economy is geared up TO large
extent To motor transportation" the
council said. 'It is imperative, there
fore, to the extent possible, to main
! tain uninterrupted operation of our
commercial motor transportation on
/ our highways and in our cities. In
view of this, we recommend that every
consideration be given to granting
preference ALLEGATIONS of new tires
necessary to maintain unimpaired OPP
GRAFTON of vehicles used for delivery of
| foodStulfs and the operation of our es-
| sontial service industries.
I'VE further recommend that in re-
treadng and recapping of used tires, Il
system of priOrilieS be put into effect
to make retreading and recapping
| facilities available to delivery trucks
handling foodstuffs as well as those OPP
, Grating for essential service trades.
l.. :. Is "Nation On Wheels"
"The operating effectiveness of our
economy i'm this war depends on trans
! portatiOn facilities Seryicing the vital
requirements of civilian life to an eX-
tent consistent With our military needs.
1--WE are Il nation on wheels. If it is
necessary to completely eliminate the
ma jor source of demand for new rub
b1r tires under Il system of ratiOnng
let il start with pleasure ears and
other civilian vehicles not utilized in
the service of essential community
needs.
1T is both possible and necessary
however, that provision be made to
maintain our motor highway and de,
livery transportation i'm full and safe
operation.'
The council contended that the tire
ratiOning order should be considered in
the light of II number of facts which it
cited. Even without new tire produc
ton, the available inventories should
make it possible to put new rubber
when needed on 100000 automobiles
and trucks it was added.

Now that grapefruit are on the mar

a beaten egg added ITO the juice of

Canned fruits and vegetables will re-

We've harped on keeping favored ice

now that summer has long since
passed, have you thought about keep
ing coffee favored cubes on hand to

in the morning. The virtue of the flaw
orcd cubes is they do not dilute The
coffee.
Chopped parsley, minced celery and

Beat up half II cup Of currant jelly

Make left over mashed potatoes
into small balls, roll in bread crumbs
and fry in hot fat.
Mash an avocado, blend in a little
lemon juice, dash of worcestershire
and mayonnaise and put between tea

Since roquefort cheese is becoming
more difficult to buy try stuffing cell
cry with snappy cheese blended with
chilisauce and few nut meats finely
chopped.
If the children won't eat their
prunes combine them with grapefruit
sections-they'll go over big.
Have you used nutmeg on succo-
tash? Try it. Incidentally, nutmegs
are becoming scarce due to the war.
Why not lay in supply Of whole ones
and nutmeg crater, and CRATE as
needed.
Speaking of graters or grinders, do
you have a pepper grinder and freshly
grind your pepper as used. Worlds of
difference in the flavor.
Whole boiled onions, followed out
and stuffed with cheese and served in
white sauce will call for second help
ings.

never regarded either victory or de

The campaign she won for the recog-

for peace centered on the creation of
the kind of international organization
