Congress Should Act.
1t is the duty of the Congress te
remove this unjustifiable discrimi-
nation against the men and womer
in our armed forces-and to do II
as quickly as possible.
1t is our duty now to begin to Law

This Republic had its beginning
and grew to its present strength
under the protection of certain in
alienable political rights - among
them the right Of free speech, free
press, free worship, trial by jury
freedom from unreasonable searches
and seizures. They were our rights
to life and liberty.
AS our Nation has grown in size
and stature, however-as our indus
trial economy xpanded-these DO
litical rights proved inadequate to
assure us equality in the pursuit OF
happiness.

freedom cannot exist without eco

Second Bill Of Rights.
In our day these economic truths
have become accepted as self -evi-
dent. We nave accepted, so to
speak, second Bill OF Rights under
which new basis of security and
prosperity can be established for
all-regardless of station, race or
creed.
Among these are:
The right to useful and re-

The right to earn enough to pro-

recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise

The right of every businessman

competition and domination by
monopolies at home or abroad:
The right of every family to a de-

The right to adequate medical care

Munitions Building. A new head
quarters building was under con-
struction at Twenty first street and
Virginia avenue N w. 1t was COM
pleted before the move to the Pen
tagon, but Secretary Stimson never
occupied it.
Today. the War Department is
still occupying Al other buildings
here besides the Pentagon, either in
whole or in part, according to the
Public Buildings Administration.
The Department has found, as In
terror Secretary Ickes found in the
early 30s when he was Government
space control director, that the
problem apparently cannot be solved.
For the high price of the Penta-
gon project and the inability to re-
linquish more Office space in the
city. officials had one definite ex-
planation: Pearl Harbor and what
has happened since was to blame. -
With the advent of war, the building
was rushed to completion Is months
ahead of schedule.
S13.68 Per Square Foot.
Yet in the face of mounting labor
and material costs, the actual con-
struction of the Pentagon building,
minus its expensive equipment, was
achieved at $l3.68 per square foot.
That is lower by several dollars than
the footage cost of a number of
prominent peace time buildings
erected by the Government, as.
for instance, the Railroad Retire
ment and Social Security buildings.
The additional accounting of S10.-
731.371 in expenditures over last
Aprils estimate is explained by off,
cials in several ways.
| 1t involves the cost of special
equipment for the building and the
virtual completion of the admirable
network of roads which have
changed the face of the southern
approach to Washington via High
way Bridge. These are costs, Off
cials contend, which should not fig
ure into Pentagon estimates.
No war building, however, could
function without essential equip
ment for all purposes and the Pen
tagon Building now is functioning
at. high gear. Since the final de-
velopment and extension of the
road network was made a necessary
part of the whole project long ago,
these costs have been included in
the overall figures.

Aside from these costs, officials
estimate the construction of the
great building at $49, ,736, ,654 and the

highly dangerous in wartime, II

therefore, prolongs the war"
The President said that those who

sabotage the national war effort"

that the time has passed when We
must make prodigious sacrifices-
that the war is already won and we
