Into Transferring Of

ate Subcommittee on Independ-
ent Offices, that search is being

His statement came as Senator
Tydings, Democrat, Of Maryland

Senate this afternoon his resolu-
ton for an investigation of pos
sible transfers of personnel from
on-defense to defense agencies as
one phase Of the economy drive.
Senator McKellar, whose sub
committee is in the midst of execu-
tive hearings on the independent
offices bill, said his group is care
fully scrutinizing not only the
amounts being spent bv various
agencies for public relations, or
publicity, but all other items where
retrenchment may be possible
during the war. The Senator men
toned travelling expenses as
sample of other items being weighed.
The independent Offices bill is one
of the major supply measures, be-

shooting flames reaching mountain
GUS proportions In Aruba Harbor,
of despairing cries from men
doomed to die there, and of tracer
shells screaming overhead as they
watched the raid.
