!
CHICAGO, Jan. 8-Every man
fit to fight, no matter what JOB he
now holds, must face the possibility
Of eventual service with the armed
forces before the Axis is delivered a
knockout blow.
This was the picture 1t. Col. JOS
eph F. Battley, chief of the liaison
division of the office of Undersecre-
tary Of War, gave draft occupational
tional advisers from II States at a
conference last night.
THE day is past when employers
may compete with the Army for
physically fit men. That day end
ed with the treacherous assault on
Pearl Harbor," he declared.
Plants May Get Only Women.
1t is the responsibility of en-
ployers. aided by the Government
vocational program. to fill war in
dustry positions with women and
men not acceptable to the Army
and Navy, Col. Battley asserted, add
ing this warning:
Eventually the only labor sup
ply may be women.
Requirements must first be
trained" he said. Then, should we
reach the point where war produc-
ton levels off and where sufficient
time has been had to effect re-
placements. class 2-B >znen (de-

Commissioners Won't Discuss
Charges Made by Honkin

spokesmen for the Commissioners
said there was no foundation for
Mr.. Hankin's charge that while his
nomination was pending before the
Senate they had urged President
Roosevelt Ito nominate another can
didate."
Rather, friends Of the Commits
sioners say, after Mr.. Hankin had
been confirmed by the Senate agents
Of the President had asked them to
suggest candidates for q still-re-
naming vacancy.
On the question Of providing more
space for the Utilities Commission
stan, members OF the Commissioners
Space Committee have said they
granted the agency As per cent more
space than 1t now has, that the
Commissioners could do no more in
view Of demands for space for new
services, notably the rent control
administrator and the District
once of Civilian Defense and de-
mands for more space for growing
District services.
Mr.. Hankin made his charges last
night before an audience of civic
leaders meeting In the auditorium OF
the Archives Building to discuss
pressing utility problems.
Bringing into view a conflict which
apparently has been raging for sew
eral weeks, Mr.. Hankin publicly
charged the Commissioners with
hampering the work Of the Utilities
Commission and declared that as
long as he was chairman the city
heads "are not going to control or
sabotage the commissions work"
More than 40 representatives OF
citizens groups and several utility
company officials, including Mr.
Merrill, heard the speech and sew.
eral took the floor to comment.
stull Sees Revelations"
Harry N. Stull, president of the
Federation Of Citizens Associations
said he had heard some interesting
reSelations Of what goes on in the
District Building" He added that II
was always his understanding that
the commission was supreme in util.
ity matters, and declared that If it,
decisions were subject to veto BY
another agency the condition should
be corrected.
Louis Obergh, representing the
Utilities Committee of the Fedora
ton Of Businessmen's Associations
said his organization would support
Mr.. Hankin 100 per cent. He warned
Mr.. Hankin that "the Commissioned
and vested interests are prepared tc
spend large sums of money to &c,
rid of you"
Mr.. Hankin began by saying he
was very dissatisfied" with the prog
ress Of the commission work during
the past month. and then launched
into criticism OF NE Board OF Com
missioners-and especially Commits
sioners Young and Kutz-the Joint
Board Of the Public Utilities Com
mission and the Traffic Co-ordinat-
ing Committee.
Hostility Charged.
Specifically, Mr.. Hankin accused
the Commissioners and the Co-ordi-
mating Committee with blocking re-
quests for hearings on complaints

flied by citizens; charged the city
heads with failing to provide ade-
quate funds and ONCE space for
the commission and declared that
while his nomination was pending
before the Senate, the Commits
sioners, especially Gen. Kutz, were
urging President Roosevelt to f1oini-
nate another candidate"
Later, when he was receiving the
oath Of office, Mr.. Hankin said, he
heard Gen. Kutz remark that If we
agree, we'll get along all right, but
II We don't, I'm going to ask for
another commission member" Gen.
Kutz Is a member Of the Utilities
Commission.
Taking UP the crosstown bus line
Mr.. Hankin said the commission
approved the line about a month
ago. and that Gen. Kutz agreed to
that action.
"The funny thing about the mat
ter" said Mr.. Hankin, 'is that when
the plan came before the Joint
Board. Gen. Kutz asked that action
be DELAYED so that the project could
be studied further. As result, the
crosstown bus line received final
approval only today. Now we have
1t, but If we always work that slow
don't know when we'll get another
one"
Turning to another complaint, Mr.
Hankin charged that the elimina-
ton OF certain streetcar and bu.
stops which the Commissioners hao
ordered was arbitrary, unreason-
able, capricious and oppressive"
Mr.. Hankin said he went through
an ordeal when he took steps tc
obtain more adequate ONCE space
for his staff. Listing delays and ex-
cuses, Mr.. Hankin said the city
heads issued an order December q
granting him some additional space
Il suppose 1t was supposed to b'
q Christmas present" Mr.. Hankir
| said in a sarcastic voice. Il didn'
get the order until last Saturday
but It was dated December "a, ant
the ink wasn't dry on Commits
sioner Young's signature.
Mr.. Hankin complained that eacl
Commissioner has large Offices
while members Of the Utilitie
Commission are forced to occup,
worse quarters than the messenger
and secretaries OF the Commits
sioners."
Hits Cut In Fund Request.
Chairman Hankin also criticize,
the city heads for slashing som
$4,000 from his request for an add
tional $4,000 for the current fiscs
year, saying the commission ha
been forced to operate with insufn
cient Office space and inadequat
personnel because of the Commits
sioners' refusal to grant appropria
tions equal to the amount receive
in 1894.
Mr.. Hankin declared Gen. Kut

closes that. there Is ample Govern
ment-owned land within the District
or adjacent thereto upon which may
be erected the building necessary for
the housing of the expanding Gov
eminent functions and the addi-
tional needed employees"
Attention was called to the 49,
acre tract on which is situated the
National Training School for Boys:
extensive acres within the Soldiers
Home grounds; many acres In East
Potomac Park. Fort Davis Park, the
golf course adjacent to Anacostia.
"all of which are owned by the Gov
ernment and would require no diff
ficulties or cost OF acquisition or
rental. All of these sites are con-
veniently located for water, sewer
age, electricity, transportation and
other necessary facilities.
Labor Supply Guaranteed.
The A. F. L. building trades de-
partment advised that temporary
buildings furnishing 100000 or if
necessary 100000 square feet of
office space can be erected In from
80 to 120 days.
I'VE believe that much more time
will be lost As a result of proposed
removals and the necessary read
justments and loss of experienced
employees" the recommendation to
the President stated.
The A. r. L. guaranteed to furnish
sufficient labor to complete all
buildings for ONCE space and hous-
ing Of Government employees within
the time specified by the Public
Buildings Administration. The
building trades department esti-
mated the cost Of such buildings
would be far less than the $40 per
square foot estimated in statements
to congressional committees.
Chairman Downs announced to-
day that he is closing his committee
hearings although several out-of-
town delegations will be given an
opportunity to testify when they
