WPB Ex-EmpIoye Sends Diary
To Byrd to Prove Money Waste
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A former S3,200-a-year employe
Of the War Production Board, who
told the Byrd Senate Committee he
could have done all the work as
signed him in one day a week, sent
that economy group a diary of his
Office life yesterday to back UP his
statement.
Although he said he was a gradu-
ate of Harvard Business School, en-
ployed to compile statistical reports,
the day-by day account of his &C
tivities showed such entries as these:
July 81. Punched pages and put
them into notebooks"
July %. Made one trip to Stand
ard Oil Building"
Committee attaches said everv
mail brings dozens of letters alleging
Wasteful Government spending along
with suggestions for saving money.
The committee, in turn, seeks to get
action by the appropriate Govern
ment agencies on the suggestions it
deems sound.
A New Yorker telegraphed that
the Navy could save $125,OoO on an
order for 100000 dozen work shirts
If specifications were changed to
eliminate flaps on the pockets.
A Wheeling CIV. Va chinaware
dealer advocated buying 1O-ounce
rather than 13-ounce coffee CUBS for
the Army, contending it not only
would save four cents apiece but
would cut down wastage of coffee.
The former wPB employe has
been drafted into the Army, and told
the committee he was glad of it.
L certainly have not been earning
$4,000 a year." he wrote. Il may have
earned messengers salary or a file
clerks salary, but no more. I feel it
would be more accurate to say that
l did not hold job, but merely oc-
cupied chair and desk"
He said great deal of time was
spent by his fellow emplyes in per-
sonal conversations, long telephone
calls and studying racing forms.
A cry for relief came from the
chairman of the defense council in
New Jersey town of 5000 popula-
ton.
In addition to my duties as chair
man" he said, II have to earn a
dollar, and if it were possible to use

Tuesday Is DeodIine
To Exchange B and c
Gasoline Coupons

The District Office of Price
Administration last night
warned motorists holding B

numbered SGT, 52T-A, 528 and
528-A that they have until
Tuesday to exchange the cou-
pons at their neighborhood
ration board for an equal num-
Der of new-type Bs and Cs.
The old coupons, which will
be worthless after Tuesday
should not be detached from
the books and must be accom-
panied by the motorists latest
tire inspection certificate.
In. the District the old cou-
pons and inspection certificate
may be mailed to the neigh
borhood ration board, but this
method will be extremely slow,
OPA said.
In the first five days of the
exchange period-through Fri
day-8,2l3 District motorists
traded old coupons for new
ones.

Capitol Park Hotel
|WiII Close tuesday
For Full Renovation

Capitol Park Hotel, a landmark on
the Union Station Plaza, will close
its doors to civilian guests Tuesday,
preparatory to undergoing a thor
ough face lifting for new role in
the service of the Nations armed
forces. After renovations, 1t will be
reopened to accommodate service
men and their wives and babies.
The change will send some long
term tenants house and apartment
hunting, it was said at the hotel,
including Wall Doxey, former Sena-
tor from Mississippi and sergeant
at arms of the Senate; Perry B.
House, RFC attorney, and the Ma
tional Association of Post Office
Clerks, which, through its president,
John Barrett. maintained several
rooms at the hotel for the con-
venience of visiting members.
The hotel contains 142 rooms and
100 baths but a spokesman for the
Recreation Services, Inc, which
will have control of the building,
said detailed arrangements have not
been completed. 1t will be divided
proportionately between enlisted
men and officers, however, and will
house Recreation Services Offices
now located at BOG Ninth street NV.
The building has been purchased
outright by the Federal Works
Agency and will not revert to its
present owners at the termination
OF the war. Alterations are ex-
pected to take 2 month.
Tentative plans provide not only
facilities for transient servicemen
and personnel coming to Washing
ton for duty, but also temporary
haven for their wives and children,
a spokesman for Recreation Serv-
ices, Inc, said. When husbands
and wives have only a few hours
together it is planned to relieve
them of the responsibility of
watching the baby"
. There will be facilities for warm
ing babies bottles, mixing formu-
lac and attending to other per-
sonal items. The Recreation Serv-
ices spokesman said one of the
authorized child welfare agencies
would supervise the care of babies
and children. Properly trained
personnel also will be in charge of
an emergency room.
