Building Measure
Trimmed, Posfponine
GAO Construction

Construction of new buildings for
the General Accounting Office in
Washington was postponed indefi-
nitely today by the House Public
Buildings and Grounds Committee
as it sought to reduce to minimum
construction of new public buildings
at time when veterans are in
critical need Of homes and hospitals.
Following an executive session, the
committee voted to report H.R. 5407,
a stop-gap buildings bill introduced
a week ago, minus an item which
would have increased the limit of
cost for the new GAO buildings and
GAO annex to $40 900 600.
Money already in hand from pre-
war appropriations for a new GAO
structure, about 100000, will be
insufficient to resume work on the
project because, building costs have
risen.
Excavation Made.
Work to date on the GAO build
ing has consisted of making an ex-
cavation at Fifth and G streets NV
The proposal for second building,
an annex to be connected with a
main building by tunnel, was made
last fall. Today's committee action
prevents this project even from be-
ing authorized.
Still in committee is H. r. 4276
the administrations main postwar
buildings bill, which would author
lize nearly $2o0, 000, 900 worth of per-
Imanent Government buildings in
Washington alone.
This measure is likely to be given
the silent treatment for some time
to come, perhaps until after the
fan elections, unless widespread un.
employment gives the signal for 8
Goyernment-sponsored public work.
program.
Heating Plant Fund Allowed.
The committee retained IL the
stop-gap bill authorizations Tor al
increase in cost for the west cen.
trail heating plant to 81, ESQ, 600. Also
retained in the bill is authority fol
the Public Buildings Administration
to spend $4,000, 900 of previously ap-
lpropriated money to purchase criti-
cal building sites in Washington.
Other provisions of the stop-ga,
measure, designed to strengthen

management problems, also wer,
retained.
The GAO building was listed a.
the Governments No. l postwal
Office building project. GAO EN-
ployes are now scattered in 20 diff
ferent buildings in the District.
The Controller General testifie,
last fall that GAO files becom
worn out from being sent from
building to building and that delay
and inefficiency have resulted from
conditions under which GAO EN-
ployes have worked.
Delay of practically all postwa
public buildings, it was pointed GU
today, comes at a time when Gov
eminent agencies in Washington
including the Veterans Admins
tration, are experiencing great diff
ficulty in finding sufficient offic
space.

Haycock Gives Parting
Advice on Teachinq
.At Education Dinner

Robert l.. Haycock, who began
teaching so years ago in a George
town schoolroom, is retiring in two
weeks from the SUPPLEMENTARY OF
schools-but he is still teaching.
To TOO school employees who feted
him last night at the annual dinner
of the District Educational Associa-
ton, Mr.. Haycock gave a last lesson
on the art of instruction.
"The teachers purpose then-as
now," Mr.. Haycock said, sis to show
the growing young life how his
heart, head and hand can give to
every task the best he has"
Greeted by long applause and
presented with an armchair, radio
and memory book, Mr.. Haycock had
another hint for his colleagues.
When they get to be 70 years old
and face retirement, he said, they
should settle down to a pleasant
life unmarried by worry over any
past mistakes.
That is what he intends to do,
the superintendent said.
Recalls Old Days.
Mr.. Haycock recalled the buStleS
the woman teachers wore and the
derby hats the man teachers sport
ed when he began his career. On
dark days the pupils simply did not
read, because there was no light at
the Threlkeld School in Georgetown
in 1896, he said. The youngsters
used to go over the hill to neigh
boris for a pail of water and dipper
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education
praised the high morale, the retir-
ing superintendent has given his
employees. Through the fiber Of the
entire system, she said, runs q
golden thread of his kindness, his
unhurried Judgment, his tolerance
and thoughfulness of others"
Mrs. Doyle stressed the services
to handicapped children Mr.. Hay
cock has developed since he became
an assistant superintendent Of
schools in 1928.
Teachers Stage Skits.
Mr.. Haycock was appointed SUI
perintendent in 1913. He will be
succeeded March ! by DR.. Hobart
M. Corning, now superintendent al
Omaha, Nebr.
The teachers who staged skits ano

they are required to keep. Several

carrying banners asking for shopping
centers in school buildings, police
protection while walking through
the corridors, and nylons.

General Breaks Long Si- |enee Regarding Dis-
 aster at Manila
BY RUSSEL BRINES

TOKYO, Sept. 27.-General Mac Arthur today broke his long silence regarding the loss aground of most U. s. airplanes in the Manila area on the very first day of the war with the statement: Our air forces .. were hopelessly outnumbered and never had a chance of win ming
 Our air forces in the Philippines containing many anticipated models were hardly more than a token force with insufficient equipment incompleted fields and inadequate maintenance, he elaborated: They were completely overwhelmed by the enemys superior forces"
 Macarthur was prodded into his long awaited statement by charges made by It. Gen. Lewis H. Brere- ton, commander of the Philippine Air Force in 1941, in his book "The Brereton Diaries" recently publish ed. Accounts received here said 
 Brereton wrote that he had re- ouested permission of It. Gen Richard K. Sutherland, then chief of staff, to assault Formosa. It was from F'ormosa that the Japa- nese bombers flew to attack the Philippines. Brereton said the per- mission was withheld so long that the available small force of B-17 bombers were destroyed on the ground at Clark Field, 90 miles north of Manila.
 MacArthur replied that Ameri- can fliers could not have attack ed Formosa before the Japanese planes wiped out the Philippine based bombers on the first day of the war. His statement was issued to the press in reply to questions regarding Brereton's book.
 General Brereton never recom- mended an attack on FormoSa to me and I know nothing of such recommendation being made, Macarthur stated flatly. Tn the short interval of time involved, it is doubtful that an attack could have been set up and mounted be- fore the enemy's arrival

Merry Go Round
 The w ashingto ion
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-W the stock market acting up more than at any time in five years, no move has been made by President Tru- man or Secretary of the Treasury Snyder to bring the Securities and Exchange Commission back from Philadelphia. Created by Roosevelt to protect the public from Wall Street, the SEC is still being care fully kept out of .Washington-and certain interests hope it remains in exile.
 Meanwhile, had Secretary Snyder consulted the SEC before making his ambiguous statement on the slump he would have found a sig nificant report regarding the entire stock market. Here are some of the inside facts shown in the SEC re- port:
 l. Several weeks before the mar ket nose dive, new issues of air. plane and auto stocks failed to arouse public buying, so that the underwriting houses, stuck with the stocks, had to raise cash to pay for them. This meant they had to unload Government bonds and blue-chip stocks such as Du- Fonts and American Tel and Tel to get the cash. This was the first selling wave to sag the market.
 2. Simultaneously inves m n t houses got wind of new fear psy- chology. The public was afraid the long upward climb of the market was at an end. They wanted to sell before the downward trend started
