Pentugon to Get Extra Story
Costing $500, 900, EngeI Says

Approximately another half mil
lion will be added to the more than
$4,000 900 already expended on the
Pentagon Building by adding an
extra story on three wings, it was
charged today by Representative
Engel, Republican. of Michigan, who
last week said that the gigantic
structure already had cost nearly
twice what was estimated.
According to information obtained
by Mr.. Engel, the first and fifth
wings were built to four stories,
while the second. third and fourth
wings were left at three stories and
roofed over.
The operation now in progress, he
says, is to add another story to these
three wings. This must be done
over the present roof, which protects
the personnel working below. Then
the root m1st be torn away.
It IS expeeted that the extra story

for nearly two months and now Is
nearing completion.
The three stories were covered
with a heavy asphalt roof which will
be necessarily expensive to tear
away, Mr.. Engel charged.
He is well aware, he said, that
under present conditions the addi-
tional space Is needed badly, but
insists that adequate foresight in
planning the structure would have
saved the taxpayers an entirely un-
necessary expense.
1t is another instance, he charged

Hammond Loses Fight
To Win Back Postin
Foreign Service
Court Dismisses Suit
Filed by Son Of Former
y. S. Envoy to Spain

Ogden H. Hammond, jr., a foreign
service officer who was placed on
leave without pay in March, 1941,
today lost his fight in the United
States Court of Appeals to have the
courts order him placed back on
active service and an efficiency
rating of unsatisfactory" revised.
Mr.. Hammond, son of the former
Ambassador to Spain, had charged
in an injunction suit that State De-
partment officials were unjustly ac-
cusing him of mimicking President
Roosevelt at Newport (R. l. social
gathering and also of befriending
Lilly Stein, now serving a 10-year
sentence following her plea of
guilty in an espionage case.
Mr.. Hammond told District Court
that the State Department had not
given him full hearing on the
charges. but Justice Daniel w.
ODonoghue. in dismissing the suit,
held that he had not formally sought
hearing. Mr.. Hammond appealed
and the appellate tribunal today Ap-r

The defendants in the suit were
Secretary of State Cordell Hull, AS
sistant Secretary of State Adolph A.
Berle, jr.; Breckenridge Long, Dean
Acheson and G. Rowland Shaw, and
John G. Erhardt, chairman of the
Board of Examiners for the investi-
gators. All denied in affidavits that
Mr.. Hammond's alleged mimicry of
the President or his relation with
Miss Stein had anything to do with
his being given a rating of "un-
satisfactory" and being placed on
leave.
Mr.. Hammond, a prominent young
socialite, joined the foreign service
March %, 1899. He was vice consul
in Vienna and vice consul in Leipzig
before being placed on leave.
