Capitol, He Says
(Stor on Poee A-l)
Earlier Story on Page ALL
By JOHN C. HENRY.

Indicating there will be no
modification Of administration
plans for transferring numerous
Federal agencies outside WASH
ington. President Roosevelt told
a press conference this afternoon
that many more thousands Of
Government workers than is
generally realized must still be
added to the Federal employe
rolls. Estimates have placed
the number of workers to be
added here in the next year at
10000
Even the application of extended
new building projects, as proposed
by Capitol Hill opponents of the
transfers, will be inadequate to meet
these full needs, he said
Both plans may be right, the Pres
ident said, in reference to his plans
for transfers and other plans for
expanded building OF ONCE space.
Must Extend Personnel.
As general proposition, Mr..
Roosevelt said, neither the country
as q whole nor Washington in par
ticulAr fully realize the extent to
which the war effort will force
an expansion Of the Federal person.
mel. especially in the Capital.
Mr.. Roosevelt's remarks on the
transfer controversy followed by q
few hours his conference with Chair
men McCarran and Randolph of the
Senate and House District Commit =
tees. The two legislators have been
opposed to Wholesale transfers Of
Federal workers outside the Dis
trict. On leaving the White House
they said the President had agreed
to discuss the problem further with
w. e. Reynolds. head of the Public
Buildings Administration.
Asked directly If he is considering
modification of the order which
would move IL agencies out of the
city, the President replied that he
did not think 50 and added that he
could see no reason for such action.
No Question Of Authority.
He went on to say half seriously,
however. that If he could find any
agency pleading for removal from
Washington he would gladly substi-
tute 1t for one Of those already des-
ignated.
Mr.. Roosevelt said there had been
no discussion in his conferences with
the two congressional spokesnien OF
the question of authority for the
transfer order. a point which has
been debated on Capitol Hill. Some
what curtly, the President declared
himself not interested in that ques-
ton.
In the light of his warning that
many more thousands of Federal
workers are coming here. Mr.. Roose-
welt was asked about steps being
taken for adequate housing His
answer was that a great deal already
has been undertaken in this direc-
ton, with the further implication
that additional steps are contem-
plated rs they may become neces-
sary.

American mayors, many Of
them bewildered after visiting
numerous Government agencies
in quest of war contracts, today
put the problems Of their COM
munities before Floyd B. Odlum,
director of o. p. Ms Division Of
Contract Distribution, and
promptly won appointments with
o. P. M. experts.
The $50 municipal heads, here for
the Conference Of Mayors at the
Mayflower Hotel, poured out their
problems after Mr.. Odlum told them
that in the war program saving
the country" was up to little in
dustry.
Ninety -four per cent Of our man

Mayor Kilner said that yesterday
he went to Mr.. Odlum's ONCE, where
he was directed to o. p. Ms Labor

Pxge AID
~ the Associated Press.
The price control bill, as 1t
passed the Senate, was described
by President Roosevelt at a press
conference today as one that
would compel imitation.
The Chief Executive said it was
too early to talk of the possibility
of his vetoins the measure unless
features objec .ionable to him are
removed.
But he made it clear that he dis
approved of the amendment spon-
sored by Senator O'Mahoney. Demo-
crat. of Wyom ng. calling for prices
for farm products which other Sen
ators said would run up to 120 per
cent Of parity and the amendment
by Senator Balkhead. Democrat, of
Alabama, which would give the
Secretary Of Agriculture q virtually
veto power on :arm price ceilings.
Believes House Members Agree.
The President made his views
known following q conference ear
lier in the day with five House men,
bers who have been appointed to
attempt to work out a satisfactory
bill in conference with . Senate
delegation. TIE President said he
thought the Mouse conferees were
pretty sympathetic toward his
views.
He said he had pointed out to
them two important things:
First, that tke overwhelming ma
jority Of farmers tn every section of
the country oid not want TO be
accused Of starting 1 kind Of spiral
which, in the lone run. would be
costly to them and to everybody in
the United ststes The majority Of
farmers. he sad, do not want to be
responsible for having so-called farm
leaders upset the entire apple cart Of
the war effort
O'Mah0ney Plan Held Perilous.
Second. the OMahoney amend
ment, if 1t became law, would start
q spiral soone. than anything that
could be suggested and would do
more than anything else to saddle
q huge debt OF this and later gen.
erations. Furthermore, he said. 1t
would encourage people doing other
things such as producing bombs or
tanks. to demand wage increases to
meet a higher cost of living.
It is well known, Mr.. Roosevelt as
serted, that L food prices 60 up
other things gt up.
The President said he felt that 1t
was thorough, unsound to give one
agent of the Government power to
make a decisitn and another power
to veto it. Tat was his reaction
to the Bankhead amendment.
In the long run. Mr.. Roosevelt
said, the amendment would throw
decisions back on himself.
Wickard Won't Veto President.
Asked whether it would give one
of his subordirates q veto over him,
the President chuckled and respond
ed. authorizing a direct quotation:
No; I can IRE either one"
A reporter remarked that appar-
emily Agriculture Secretary Wick
ard. without consulting any one.
had urged that he be given a voice
in controlling farm prices.
Mr.. Wickard Mr. Roosevelt as
serted, had said in a letter to him
that the press had misquoted the
Agriculture Secretary.
rWhen was It dated?" a reporter
wanted to know.
Today. the President responded,
joining in q burst Of laughter.

CAIRO, Jan. Recommendation
of German aircraft and troops in
Sicily turned British attention today
to the island air and naval base of
Malta, less than 90 miles to the

jor Axis attack.
The London Daily Mail in a

shock troops, according to re-
ports from Rome, we're prepar-
ing for an assault on Malta
within 10 days or 3 weekS.D
The Germans were reported to
have other air concentrations in
Greece and Crete, and the Greek
coast was said to resemble the Eng
lish Channel ports in September,
1910, with countless invasion barges
and other craft waiting for action.

raid alarms since the war began
has been preparing intensiveiy fol-
months to stand of q heavy Of

cially parachute troops, would run

be a logical primary target in any
