The Service Center is built of
white stucco and was constructed
especially for the use of the ordinary
army or navy man, an officers club
is maintained at the Hotel Thomas.
It is located in park section near
the business section but in a quiet
setting and comprises large lounge
furnished with davenports, easy
chairs, grand piano and a snack
bar in the rear where food is fur
nished by the various churches. A
small balcony is equipped with writ
ing desks where picture post cards
and all writing materials are furnish
ed free to the men and there are about
500 volumes of good books on all
subjects as well as the late novels
and all the late magazines for their
use. There were a couple of small
rooms equipped with monographs
where small groups could gather, a
check room where clothing and par
cells were cared for, equipment for
shaving and at the rear a very
large hall that had stage in one
end, several pool tables, card tables
with every kind of game you ever
heard of, plenty of chairs and the
hall could also be used for dancing
by clearing of chairs and tables. One
group was outside playing archery
and some were loafing comfortably
on the outdoor balcony. Sweethearts,
wives and families of the men are
welcomed here and cared for. Camp
Blanding, one of the larger camps
of the South is located about mid
way between Jacksonville and Gaines
vile and many soldiers and their
families are scattered about the
town. A neighbor and friend of the
Grismores is one of the hostesses
at the Service Center and it was
through her that we were privileged
to spend an hour there and see
everybody in action.
l took off my hat to Gainesville
and its citizens when | saw the fine
work they were doing. Those boys
really felt at home and were singing,
eating and playing much as they
would in their own home. One curly
headed baby was asleep on daven-
port with father and mother reading
in easy chairs near by-just a little
home scene.

harbor it, although it seems to grow

campus were of red brick and were
well placed with graceful drives
winding among them. Many lovely

that we did not meet them and learn

M-Hour Week Seen
For Federal Workers

A reduction in working hours to-
day was in prospect for Govern
ment employees, who generally have
been on a 48-hour week since early
in the war.
President Truman yesterday wrote
Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee that he
soon would authorize cut where
there are no labor shortages.
This action was forecast in The
Star yesterday.
The President did not mention
the amount of the time reduction,
but it is believed that many estab-
lishments may be reduced to "A
hours a week, which would make
possible halliday holiday on Sat-
urday.
An overtime bill, now before the
Civil Service Committee, would pro-
vide an Offset to the monetary loss
entailed by reduction in hours,
as 1t would raise the existing over
time rate of time and one-twelfth
to time and one-half.

the decisions adopted at Dunbar
ton Oaks or to the aims of the
United Nations Conference for the
creation of an organization to in
sure peace and security for the
peoples" The statement pointed
out that France, Syria and Lebanon
all were members of the San Fran
cisco Conference.
French Statement Issued.
Moscow's announcement followed
an official French statement yes
terday that 1T would have been
proper that the Soviet government
was at least informed" Of proposed
conferences among France, Britain
and the United States.
The French public statement was
issued in the absence of direct
reply to Mr.. Churchill's note on
the ground that the latter had been
made public in London before it
was received by the French govern
ment. The communique, announc-
ing the cease fire order in Syria ito
give satisfaction to the request Of
the British government" added:
In the opinion of the French
government it was a question of
creating if possible an atmosphere
more favorable for conversations
with the American and British
governments and eventually with
governments of the various Arab
states-conversations concerning the
whole situation in the Near East" f"
This proposal to extend the scope
of such a. conference was suggested
without any indication of any i'm
mediate agreement to one. At the
same time, it was learned authori-
tatively in Paris that the French
had replied to last Mondays United
States note on Syria, and had told
Washington France still wished to
deal with the Levant without out
side interference
The London morning newspapers
today voiced the hope that Gen. de
Gaulle would come to London for
talks with British and American rep
resentatives.
At Damascus President Shukri
Quwatli of Syria was reported to
have sent messages of thanksgiving
to Mr.. Churchill and President Tru-
man for the cessation of fighting
there. President Quwatli told a
neutral diplomat Syria would be
willing TO treat with France on these
conditions:
All "Troupes Speciales,' which
are approximately $4,000 Syrian
levees under French command
must be placed under Syrian con-
troll and the French command must
be terminated.
All French troops to remain In
their barracks and Senegalese
troops to be evacuated speedily
from Syria.
French controlled installations
such as telephone and railroad lines
in Syria must be turned over to
Syrians ownership and control.
The French delegation must be
replaced with a regularly estab-
lished legation on a purely diplo-
matte basis such as maintained by
other countries in Syria.
President QuWatli said in sum-
nation that the Syrians were un-
willing to grant the French any
special position whatever in the
country
