Only one-the Office of Civilian Defense-is being retired imme- diately. Loyal, hard-working old OCD had 1,279 employees in the fiscal year ended last June 30, but only 1O6 in March. It had budget for fiscal "A" of $4,0O0,000, but for fiscal '45 it has only STREETS.
 OCD's departure leaves in pos session of the field, in addition to the armed services and the mer- chant marine, a mere 48 major, segregable war agencies, after ig- noring the wartime specail &C., tivities of most of the standard peace time departments and bu- reauS.
 OEM FAMILY
 There is, for instance, the OEM group-the IS agencies that fall under direction of the Office for Emergency Management. That group had 140,854 employees in March, of whom 9,918 were out side the continental United States, according to Byrd Committee rec ords.
 Outside this OEM family, for some reason, stand the Office of Strategic Services, censorship Selective Service, the Office of Contract Settlements, Petroleum Administration for War, Solid Fuels Administration for War and Foreign Funds Control. These had another 35,270 employes ina March.
 There are three special rubber agencies-one to promote specia. lubber-producing crops, one tc acquire rubber from abroad, third to invest in domestic pro. duction of synthetic.
 There's war corporation tt foster experiments in packaglng lend lease goods for shipment; { corporation to finance food, fcce and fibre programs for lend-lease corporation to procure critlca metals, which has a subsidiary te reclaim copper; corporation tc construct defense homes, another to finance defense plants, third to make loans to small war plants; a corporation to compete with enemy countries for strate- gic materials.
 FEW CUTS FORESEEN
 The United States Housing Corp, formed to provide housing for World War I workers, still ex- ists without staff or appropriation while the Defense Homes Corp, doe: similar duty for World War II anc the War Damage Corp, insure: home:owners against loss from en emy action.
 The war is half over, President Truman has said. But you car sit down with any of the 49 agen- cies you may choose and, in g very few minutes, get an earfu of reasons why it must not be abolished until the war Wltf Japan is ended and, in fact, why it may be forced, reluctantly, tt expand it's services for the Pa cific war and ask for few addl- tional hired hands.
 There will, undoubtedly, be lew cuts. But if you really neee help, don't put off your homt work until you can get a demobl' liged war agency man to do 1t. Int wait might be long.

Labor Party Meets Today
Ry q. T. MAILMAN

London, May 21-(UP)-The Brit ish Labor Party met at Blackpool today to decide whether Prime Mln- ister Churchill's coalition govern ment should remain in office.
 The best indications were the an- swer would be no.
 Behind closed doors, HOO dele gates to the Labor Party's annual conference met to decide the ques- tion posed by Churchill himself whether to stay in the coalition gov- ernment, or to withdraw and force a general election at once.
 If the Labor Party withdraws, the general election-Britain'S first in ten years-probably will be held early in July.
 The laborites, believing Church ills conservatives wanted to cap italize on the European victory, preferred to wait until autumn, when the life of the present parlla- ment expires. But Churchill forced the issue. He told Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee, Labor leader, that the party must make a decision at once.
 Atlee called nasty meeting of the national executive committee of the party last night to discuss the Churchill demand. Some laboriate angrily denounced it as an "ulti- matum" After three hours, the committee voted to recommend to the rank-and- that the party withdraw.
 The conference opened today with a spirited speech by Laborite presi- dent Miss Ellen Wilkinson, who said:
 People who have been urging a quick July election on the Prime ! Minister no doubt hope to snatch a party advantage out of the transient position and out of the moment of victory, as they did in iSi3. This is not the time for back stairs intrigue. In the coming cleo tion the Labor Party win fight for power. We are not interested in talk | of coalitions or arrangements" In any case, it seemed certain the Labor Party intended to go to the voters in Autumn when more Serv- | icemen will be home and the na- tional voting registers will be com | pleted.
 If the party voted today to with draw, it was likely the labor min isters would resign from the cab inet this week. They include Attlee, Minister of Labor Ernest Bevin Home Secretary Herbert Morrison, president of the board of trade Hugh Daltonfl and First Lord of the | Admiralty A. V. Alexander.
