Turnover of 1000 at Pentogon
Monthly Adds to Housinq Crisis

Departments are reducing their
STATS slightly and the Signal Corps
has planned a marked reduction
because of the shorter communica-
lions lines necessary for a one
front war.
In addition, q number of new
committees and commissions have
come into being with We day.
Among them are the War Crimes
Commission, United States Stra-
tegic Bombing Survey, the Secre-
tary of Wars Disability Review
Board, the War Department Army
Retiring Board, the Army-Navy
Liquidation Commission and num-
Der Of other Army-Navy co-ordinat-
ing committees.
The War Department spokesman
said about 5000 workers transfer,
come In or 60 out of the War De-
partment each month now, but
the population remains fixed at
about $4,000 workers.
126 Persuaded to Stay.
In one recent month, he said, 1914
workers left and 126 were finally
persuaded to stay. Here are some
Of the reasons why the ones who
left couldn't be persuaded to stay:
Two hundred left because of poor
health, complaining they were nerv-
ously exhausted from working over
time and standing in line for every
thing they wanted. Fifty left be-
cause Of illness of relatives; SO to be
married; So to have babies As be-
cause they couldn't find anybody to
take care Of their children; 81 be-
cause Of other family responsible
ties; "a because their husbands were
transferred; 81 to join their hus-
bands; so to 60 back to school; ~
to join the armed forces; II because
they couldn't find room or got
tired of standing on buses; IA be-
cause Of homesickness and IA be-
cause they couldn't make ends meet
at $1,440 year.
Thirty seven just didn't like
Washington. The ones from the
South said 1t was too far North and
the ones from the North said it was
too far South and besides the eli
mate was bad for their sinuses.
OF the others, ITO quit because OF
their Jobs. They didn't like their
supervisors or the work wasn't in
teresting or it was below the level
Of their abilities or they didn't feel
they were being useful enough or
their salary was too low or the
chances Of promotion were too slim.
One complained Of being overworked
and one complained of not getting
enough work to do.

By MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Workers leaving the Pentagon
permanently for reasons ranging
from sinus trouble to inconsistencies
are forcing the War Department to
import 1000 new employees monthly
thereby further complicating
Washington's current housing crisis,
it was learned today.
Every worker quitting War De-
partment job is asked why he or
she is leaving and whether a room
will be left vacant, a War Depart
ment spokesman said. The why
varies, he added, but the room
answer is always the same-a friend
or several friends have taken over
the room and their friends have
moved into the ones they vacated.
Although some War Department
activities have been cut down with
We day and workers have been
transferred out of them, the War
Department official said, other &C.
tivities have increased and there
are not enough workers who can be
transferred to do the Job in the
face Of worker a-month turn
over.
Outlines Activities.
The War Department official
estimated that 10 to 20 per cent of
the workers being imported monthly
are being assigned new functions
which came into being with We
day. He gave this estimate of Pen
tagon civilian increases and de-
creases as result Of victory in
Europe:
The transportation corps staff is
increasing because of the tremen-
dous job Of moving millions Of men
from Europe to the Pacific with the
paper work that accompanies 1t.
The surgeon generals onice also
is increasing with the flood Of
wounded men for whom hospital
facilities Il st be planned and medi-
cal supplies provided.
The Pacific war calls for an in
crease in the Office Of the chief OF
the Engineers and the Chemical
Warfare Service. The need to re-
train millions of men for Jungle
warfare and thousands of air crews
for different type planes has brought
an increase in the office Of the di-
rector of military training.
The adjutant's generals office also
is increasing with all the record
keeping involved in keeping track
Of apps, point discharges and cas-
ualty reporting. This Office was still
increasing its staff two years after
the last war.

Rental Housing

New rental housing will be insuffi-

part of the population unless steps
are taken to attract a greater
amount of capital for construction of
apartments and other rental hous-
ing. Irving w. Clark, chairman of
the Residential Committee of the
Producers Council. said today.
IF home building conforms to past
experience. then only rs to 80 per
cent of the new dwelling units will
be constructed for rent during the
next few years, whereas in 1910
nearly 60 per cent of all nonfarm
families were renters instead of
owners" Mr.. Clark said.
While many homes which are
occupied by their owners at the
present time may be offered for rent
when the present occupants pur-
chase new homes, record-breaking
number of new rental units must be

Now is the time to check on the
"heat thieves" before they double
check on you. What are heat
thieves, and what. harm can they
do?
Answer: Any openings or cracks
in your house such as loose fitting
windows and doors or a broken
windowpane. They get in their
work when cold weather starts by
drawing in cold air from the outside
and cooling the temperature inside.
Have you replaced that broken
cellar windowpane with a good one
yet or are you going to skip it" just
because 1t may be in the rear of the
house and doesn't show? If you
have any openings or cracks in your
brickwork you will be justified in
cementing them now.
Also tighten those loose windows
and doors. by tacking felt on them,
covering the cracks. If the window
and door sash is loose fitting against
the bricks, you can buy large tube

Housing Exposition
Opens Dec. 8 on Site
Near District Line

The Federal Public Housing Au-
thority today announced it's war
housing reuse" exposition will open
December 8 on a 20-acre site at
University lane and New Hampshire
avenue, 2 miles beyond the District
line near Silver Spring, Md.
Three buildings already are being
constructed on the site, Philip M
Klutznick, FPHA commissioner
said, as the nucleus of many differ
ent types of structures to be dis
played.
Purpose Of the demonstration is
to show methods FPHA has de-
veloped for adapting emergency war
housing to peacetime uses when
housing projects become surplus.
All buildings in the show will be
equipped with furniture and fur
nishings either drawn from FPHA's
reserve stocks or loaned by Wash
ington business firms, it was said.
A church, which will be part of
the war housing community" on
the site. will be complete with pull
pit, pews and organ. A library will
have books on its shelves. In a
hobby house" will be exhibits of
metal working and hooked rug
weaving and a souvenir counter.
The exposition buildings will be
reconstructed from panels into
which vacant FPHA emergency war
houses are being sawed. The ma
terials will be assembled from prof.
ects in Connecticut. Maryland and
New York.
The first panels received here
were hauled by truck-trailer. A

of calking compound and do the
job yourself. Just squeeze 1t in the
cracks.
Experts tell us that even with a
good tight house and furnace we
still get only go per cent efficiency
from our fuel. This is largely due
TO good part of the heat escaping
through the roof (uninsulated) and
because 1t is the natural tendency
of heat to travel upward. If you
do not have an insulated roof or
storm windows you can still con-
serve heat by keeping bedroom
doors closed and radiators shut off
especially at night when windows
are generally partly opened.
To locate heat thief" just light
a candle and hold it In front of any
opening. small or large, and you will
discover that the flame is drawn in,
