On 81. 1886, 600, 900
Army Fund Request
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

President Roosevelt conferred at
the White House today with con-
gressional leaders, receiving progress
reports on the status of key legisla-
ton and asking all possible speed

War Department fund requested

Participating in the conference
were Vice President Wallace, Speak
er Rayburn, Senate Majority Leader

Senator Barkley told reporters as
the conferees left that discussion
had centered principally on the
drafting Of rivers and harbors bill
which would include worthy
projects only. The measure is being
shaped for initial consideration in
the House, he said.
Sees Brazilian Officials.
The President already has said
publicly and has informed congress
sional leaders previously that the
administration will approve rivers
and harbors project appropriations
only where 1t can be shown to be of
value to the national defense.
Following his meeting with the
"big four" the President received
DR.. Carlos Martins, Brazilian Am
bassador, and DR.. Arthur de Souza
Costa, Brazilian finance minister.
Remarking that he had come to
this country assured of the sympa-
thetic cooperation of this Govern
ment, DR.. Costa said as he left the
White House he had brought Presi-
dent Roosevelt good news" about
Brazil's ability to itegrate its econo-
my and to supply vital raw materials
for the war efforts Of the United
Nations. He explained that tech
nical aides were to confer with de-
partmental experts here, particular
ly at the Department of Agriculture,
for further consideration Of the
problems of developing Brazilian
rubber sources.
DR.. Costa was scheduled to have
a luncheon conference with Nelson
Rockefeller, co-ordinator OF inter-
American affairs.
Another caller on the Presidents
list today was DR.. Louis Bloch, who

in the Department Of Industrial
Relations of the California State

The White House announced this
morning that Mark Ethridge, gen.
eral manager OF the Louisville Cour-
ier Journal and Times, has resigned
as chairman of the Committee on
Fair Employment Practices, but at
request of the President is remain
ing as a member Of the group. Mr..
Ethridge explained that his resig-
nation was made necessary by the
demands on his time in Louisville,
since several officials of the papers
have gone into full-time Govern
ment service. --.,-.ywe.-.-.,,...
Malcolm S. Mclean president Of |
Hampton Institute, will succeed Mr..
Ethridge as chairman Of the COM
mittee.
The committee was created after
protests had been made by colored
organizations that they were not re-
ceiving a fair proportion Of defense
employment.

Civil Service Eases
Rules on Personnel
For Shifted Agencies
Exceptions to Quotas
Will Be Made to
Fill Vacancies

The Civil Service Commission has
relaxed the appointment regula-
tions to help decentralize agencies
obtain personnel, it was disclosed
today when the commission an
nounced that the apportionment
requirement would be waived in
specific cases to permit transfers to
those establishments being sent out
of Washington.
Under the apportionment pro-
vision of the Civil Service Act, ap-
pointments to the departmental
service are made by State quotas,
based on population, and field per-
sonnel and other employees cannot
be transferred into apportioned
positions.
BY permitting the transfers, the
commission makes it possible for
the decentralized agencies to fill
vacancies with non apportioned
personnel employed in the vicinity
of the cities to. which they are
moving, If that Is necessary. Other
employees who might desire to make
such a move for personal conven-
ience also will be eligible.
Decision Quoted.
The commission explained, how
ever, that as general rule appoint
ments to the decentralized agencies
would continue to be subject to the
apportionment law, quoting a con-
troller generals decision holding
that an agency moved from Wash
ington continues to be q central
Office"
This is the same rule laid down
by the controller general several
years ago, when space requirements
caused the principal functions Of the
Old Age Insurance Bureau Of the
Social Security Board to be set up
in Baltimore instead Of Washington.
The commission said that where
exceptions are permitted 1t is being
done in recognition of ''the admin
istrative problems confronting most
agencies affected by the decentral-
ization program as a result Of the
resignation of large numbers of
employees who are unwilling to leave
Washington"
At the same time, the necessity Of
advance planning" by these agen-
cies so their personnel needs may be |
known quickly, was emphasized.
The transfer of Federal agencies |
from Washington to provide addi- |
tional space for defense activities
has led to the leasing, or agreement
to lease Of LAS 900 square feet of
ofilce space in seven widely scat
tered cities, the decentralization
service of the Public Buildings Ad-
announced last night |
The ONCE space SO far obtained
for agencies to be moved Is as fol-
lows: Patent Once, Richmond, $780,
900 square feet: Wage and Hour
Division. New York, $4,000; 1mmi-
grafton and Naturalization Service,
Philadelphia, 225 900; Rural Elec-
triflcation Administration, St. Louis,
$4,000: Securities and Exchange
Commission. Philadelphia. 100000.
and the Employees Compensation
Commission, New York City, 10000.
Agreement has been reached for
space for other agencies. the an
said, as follows:
Farm Security Administration,
Cincinnati, $4,000; Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, Columbus,

tration, Kansas City, 10000.

fdyd. gipes an eyetDitness account
of the strength OF the japanese
invasion forces In Singapore and
the weight OF artillery the in
pdders could concentrate to coDer
the assault.
BY IAN FITCHITT.
SINGAPORE, Feb. 8 Delayed
(Australian Press to R)-The mill
tary position on Singapore island
by late afternoon could be de-
scribed only as serious.
Enemy landings followed the
smashing barrage which grew to q
crescendo from 10 pm. yesterday
following an afternoon of destruc-
tive Smelling and mortar fire.
Shortly after dark last night some
of our searchlights were knocked
out. They were our only means OF
observations until the moonrise at
! am.
Our strongest-held positions on
the coast running west from the
Kranji Estuary were left completely
unmolested, but on either flank the
fire was poured in, making the ap-
proach Of troops holding those areas
difficult.
Toward II pm. the enemy started
getting ashore.
Enemy Starts to Pour In.
No sooner were the first Japanese
landings engaged than the enemy
started to pour in in "hordes"-as a
battalion commander put it today.
Our artillery and machinegunners
were sweeping the straits with fire
all this time and also concentrating
on the beach opposite, but the
enemy seemed to be in strength.
Meanwhile, his gunfire was crash
ing into our positions. 1t was a
solid drumf1re which went on for
some hours without cease.
The colonel of q West Australian
machinegun battalion told me he
thought that the enemy was using
steel troop landing craft. He had
report after report from his gun
ners that they saw their bullets
striking flashes Of flame as they hit
the steel sides Of the boats.
How the enemy got them down is
uncertain. Possibly, he embarked
his troops from a point farther
north on the mainland and sailed
them down the coast after dark.
Forced to Fall Back.
These landings soon had our for
ward troops in trouble and they
had to fall back to q level line. In
the desperate early morning fight
ing, party after party found their
way cut of and there were a hun
dred small struggles of the moment,
infantry, gunners and anti-tank
men joining together to get them
selves and their gear out.
Reinforcements were OF Indians
as all further Australians were
rushed to the area.
Dawn gave light for enemy bomb
ers again. They have been at 1t all
day. The longest period from dawn
to pm. that they did not have
some planes bombing was 81 min
utes.
Our fighters made a gallant effort
to aid the troops, but it was the old
story.
So 1t has gone on all day with
very little definite Information COM
ing In beyond confused tales Of des-
perate fighting.
Beyond artillery fire, we can do
to the mainland.
The troops have done their best all
day. But 1t Is the old case Of huge
Ai.i.
