16% OLD. C. Residents
To Move After War,
Survey Indicates

approximately ls per cent of the
residents Of the Metropolitan Wash
ington Area think they will move
to different dwelling after the war
according to a survey undertaken
for the Washington Board of Trade
by Opinion Research Corp.
OF the remainder, 16 per cent
plan to leave the area or have, not
definitely decided, 3 per cent are
uncertain and 65 per cent expect
to live where they are now.
Those who expect to move in
clude 20 per cent of the apartment
house dwellers. Only per cent of
those in single family dwellings and
II per cent of upper-income fami-
lies plan to move compared with
18 per cent Of the lower Income
group.
The survey showed that pros
poets In Fairfax County are best
for the postwar period. If all those
who intend to stay in the county
or move there and the 7 per cent
who are undecided make up their
minds to remain Fairfax can look

They have been seeking to send
our Secretary of State into that
undertaking, as important and as
dimcult as any man ever undertook,
with the feeling that his feet rest
not on firm ground, but on skids.
They have been Offering, publicly
for Ill the world to hear, unsolicited
advice to the President that he set
up the skids for his Secretary Of
State in advance of the meeting. Let
it be known, they say, that as soon
as the work at the Golden Gate is
concluded, Edward r. Stettinius will
be asked to step down and James F..
Byrnes to step up.
President Not Impressed.
A pleasant state of mind they pro-
pose for Mr.. Stettinius, state of
mind in which it would be impos-
Mble for any man to give the best
that Is in him. He is asked to deal
with the Edens. the Molotovs, the
De Gaulles and all the others with
his own mind beset by uncertainty
as to the Presidents and the coun-
trys confidence in his capacity.
Fortunately. this is one of those
cases In which the volunteer adviser
proposes and the President disposes.
The President is disposing Of the
clamor. He Is making 1t completely
clear that he does have confidence
in his Secretary Of State, that he is
giving no consideration to sugges-
tions that Mr.. Stettinius be sup
planted now or later. He is leaving
the work at San Francisco fully in
his hands.
Indications are that Jimmy Byrnes
will not attend the conference even
as an adviser-an unfortunate con-
sequence, perhaps, of the misguided
efforts Of his friends and admirers,
since the former Senator, Supreme
Court Justice and assistant Presi-
dent has much to contribute to any
such meeting. But in an evident
desire to scotch the mischief-mak-
ing discussion and demonstrate his
loyal support Of his Secretary OF
State, the President has used simple
and emphatic language. Mr. Byrnes,
he said, has gone back to South
Carolina; whenever the President
needs his advice he will call for it.
AZ for San Francisco, he said, he
has complete confidence in the
delegation chosen to represent this
Government and he will back them
up from his desk. He hit his desk
with his fist to emphasize the point.
What brought about the sudden
distrust Of Mr.. Stettinius on the part
Of those now being silenced by the
PRESIDENT He is young, but An
thony Eden Is three years younger.
He Il not inexperienced. He topped
OF three years administration of
lease -lend-which brought him into
intimate understanding of. the . az
fairs Of all our Allies-with the
preparation for and the direction
Of the Dumbarton Oaks Conference,
with participation in the Yalta Con-
ference, guidance Of the Chapul-
tepec Conference, and the prepara-
tory work Of the San Francisco
Conference. And long before all
this he had demonstrated the abl-
ity required to deal with important
men and important matters as
chairman of the board Of United
States Steel.
The President has confidence in
Stettinius. Time after time Con-
gress has shown the same conf
dence. Until Stettinius gives some
reason to the contrary we will do
well to share that confidence and
cease giving him any reason for

They are not able to do so in
this fourth year of the about

The actuality OF forest products
shortages-painfully real TO the

industry-haS been made obvious
to every American home, par
ticularly the farm home. The
