BATTLE With
JAP NAVY TO
KNOX
More Important for Fleet
10 Keep Atlantic Open,
Says Secretary

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secre-
tary of Navy Col. Frank Knox today
said that while the American fleet
is not idle. no early conclusive show
down could be expected with the
Japanese fleet.
The Battle of the Atlantic still is
the wars most important struggle
and the Nays No. l job, he said in
a speech at the annual American
Conference of Mayors.
Keeping the sea lanes open be-
tween Am erica and Britain will
bring about the defeat of Hitler's
Germany-"our great enemy" Knox
said. II wouldn't be frank with you
if 1 led you to believe you could
expect favorable and dramatic de-
velopments in triumphant, American
full scale naval engagements on the
Pacific in the near future"
The elements of distance, time
and necessarily wide distribution OF
our naval forces, he said, preclude
what / know you all wish me to
suggest - an early and conclusive
showdown with the japanese navy.
But you know by this that I don't
mean to imply that the Pacific Fleet
is idle. 1t is not idle. You will
hear from it again and again, when
and where careful and strategic con-
siderations dictate

EVACUATION
ORDERS ARE
ROUTINE
Families Of Service Men
Leave for Statesmen
on 24-hour Duty

Official orders for the evacuation
of families of men in the service
from Alaska were accepted as a
matter CT routine when they were
issued recently, according to adj
vice from Anchorage.
One of the prime purposes for
taking families away from posts is
to relieve officers and men CT fam
lily responsibilities while they are
on 24-hour duty, it was explained
when the general order for evacua~
ton of army wives and children
was issued by Major General ST.
mon B. Buckner, chief CT the Al
aska Defense Command.
Two exceptions have been made
in the order, under which certain
families will be allowed to remain
in Alaska.
One exception pertains to those
dependents Of officers or enlisted
men whose homes are in Alaska
and who have resided in the Ter
ritory prior to their marriage with
such officers or enlisted men.
The other exception pertains to
dependents who are employed on
a government project in a posi-
ton considered necessary for the
national defense. These persons
must be willing to sign an en-
ployment agreement to remain at
their position in the event the
heads of their families are ordered
to some other Army post.
Transportation to the States will
be by government and commercial
steamships.
A system OF priorities in depar-
ture has been set up by the Alaska
Defense Command. First to go will
be volunteers. Second will be those
families that do not have their
household goods in Alaska. Last
to go will be all others.
1t was noted by the ADO that
these priorities are subject TO
change to fit certain conditions
that may arise.

Renewed American and British
diplomatic efforts to win war bases

Enyisioned effects of air and sea

combined with a British press

is waning. 1t Is no secret they are
looking wishfully on such poten-
tial bases as Berehavcn, Cobb.

The Irish bases would permit

countering any German moves
against West Africa or possibly

Decentralization" OF
Government Now Causes
Many Agencies 10 Move
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON. Jan. l2.-Being
head over heels in world war
doesn't keep Washington from hav-
ing it's teapot tempests.
The latest is over the Presidents
order moving IL government agen-
cies, with approximately 10000 en-
ployees, to other cities.
This decentralization" of gov
eminent has been talked for a long
time and a few small agencies have
been transferred. These, however,
were mostly regional offices which
have been transferred to other
cities nearby. Although it was
known that the budget bureau,
under Director Harold D. Smith,
one of the Presidents close ad-
visers, had been studying the pos
sibilities of booting some agencies
out of Washington to make way
for the defense hordes pouring in,
insiders" had predicted just re-
Gently that nothing ever would be
done about it.
Then pop out of the box, the
President issues his order, moving
Rural Identification and Farm
Security to st. Louis, the Patent
Office to New York; the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Alien
Registration and several others to
Philadelphia, the Wage and Hour
division and one other agency to
Pittsburgh; and several, including
the Railroad Retirement Board and
the Office of Indian Affairs, to
Chicago.
After that came the storm.
Members of Congress, as usual,
were in the thick of it. Some
of them called il SILLY" and
ridiculous" Others hailed it
as wise move and the only
solution toward stemming the
tide of government workers
that threatens to make the
capital modern Donnybrook
Fair.
On the latter side is the Civil
Service Commissions estimate that
10000 additional government work
ers will be employed here by July;
the frantic search for office space
to take care of the present govern
ment staffs; and the already criti-
cal lack of suitable housing ac-
commodations.
The chief anti-decentraliza ton
arguments are the expense OF the
move (the government has to pay
moving expenses OF the workers, rs
well as for office equipment and
files, and make allowances for re
settlement" COSTS and the in
creased expense of doing business
with agencies some distance from
their departmental bosses; the up
roofing of personnel that has es-
tablished homes here; and the
great turnover in personnel re-
