&,101 Square Feet Of
Office Space in D. {.

The United States Civil Service
Commission released 48,101 square
feet Of leased office space in Wash
ington by the end of the fiscal year
in disposing of obsolete records,
cutting personnel and rearranging
offices. the Public Buildings Admin
istration said today.
w. E. Reynolds, public buildings
commissioner, told The Star the
Civil Service Commission has been
one of the few Government agen-
cies which have complied quickly
with recent White House and PBA
directives that all Government
agencies are to slash file space oc-
cupied by noncurrent and dupli-
cate records and set up record con-
trols so that a maximum of private
Office space may be returned to its
owners.
Mr.. Reynolds recently announced
that the Federal Communications
Commission. Maritime Commission
War Shipping Administration and
Government Accounting Office are
high scorers in space saving and
have given support to his efforts
to cut rented space.
Land Office Cuts Space.
Today he added still another
agency to his list-the General Land
Once of the Interior Department
which has salvaged 1,700 square feet
OF ofnce space by rearranging the
filing of photo-lithographic copies
OF township plats.
Space given up by Civil Service
as the result of a space-saving at
tack on three fronts is as follows,
Mr.. Reynolds said:
The Washington Loan & Trust
Building, 3,219 square feet; the Cap
ital Garage, 1864 square feet: 8ol E
street NV, 2o,424 square feet; 8o8
E street NV. 8,770, and the first

The commission has emptied 859
letter size drawers of obsolete appli-
cations, examination papers and
classification forms, has removed
l 500, 900 obsolete record cards from
file trays and cleared 1000 file
drawers.
In other parts of the country, he
said, Civil Service has cleared total
of 1896 file drawers of useless
material.
In recent space directives, Mr.
Reynolds has estimated that Gov.
ernment agencies could get along
with about half the amount of exist.

'"This Book contains the mind

WASHINGTON.-Two separate
coal strikes again this year
brought home the fact that the
coal mining industry is a COM
bination of two separate entities
with little in common EXCEPT

The soft coal (bituminous)
miners and the hard coal (anthra-
citc) miners are part of the same
big ALL United Mine Workers of
America, face similar occupation
al hazards and struck for SUBJ
stantlally the same contract bene-
fits. But they are as different
fundamentally as the types of
coal they mine. Different, too,
are the effects of their strikes.
When the bituminous miners
quit, the entire productive econ
omy of the nation was threatened
with paralysis. Blast furnaces
and steel mills shut down. Auto.
mobile factories and other indus
tries dependent upon steel SUI
fered severe setbackS. Railroads
began canceling runs to conserve
fuel. Brownouts were ordered.

, an anthracite shut doWn-at least
not at this time of year. Even in
anthracite'S big eastern Seaboard
markets, hard coal strike right
now is mostly just something to
read about in the newspapers.
Only if it lasted into the fall
would the picture be likely to
change.
That's because anthracite has
BECOME almost exclusively a do
nestle home-heating fuel. Home
furnaces in Philadelphia, New
York, Washington, and other east
ern cities are shut down for the
summer.
1t wasn't always that way. An
thracite, the first underground
fuel to be discovered in this coun-
try, was once important in steel,
in gas manufacturing, in railroad
ing and other industries and was
used in a lot more factories and
home-heating plants than it is
now.
1t has been growing sense of
concern to the hard coal region
that coke, oil, gas and even soft
coal have steadily been cutting
into anthracite markets.

its food production to pre-war
levels.
They point out, however, that
Europe's pressing need for food
imports may subside considerably
within two or three years. Steps
then will be necessary to increase
the purchasing power of import
ing countries in order to keep in
ternational trade in agricultural
products at high levels.
SURPRISES Worry Us II
SURPRISES were the big buga-
boo Of farmers IN the United
States and other leading agricul-
tural countries during the de-
preston period. Many farmers
fear that continued high produc-
ton of such products as wheat,
sugar and cotton will again bring
about disastrous situation.
1t is now generally recogniz-
ed that those huge SURPRISES
were surplus only in relation to
buying power and not in Eela-
ton to the needs of human
beings. Although farm prod
ucts rotted for lack of markets.
large numbers of families even
in the surplus-producing coun-
tries lacked food they needed
for health.
When the current famine crisis
, is ended, a big problem of the

ing production without creating
lruinous SURPRISES. FAC officials
say it will be necessary for ma
tons to act togo her.

Very simple beginnings are now

Book Review
By BOB PRICE

THE UNTERRIFIED. by Con-
stance Robertson Holt; S3).
.NOU TAKE a beautiful South
Il ern belle who is passionately
loyal to Dixie. You throw her IN
with handsome Yankee who is
devoted to the Union. You weave
a plot involving spies and treach-
cry and mysterious stranger.
There you have the basic ingre-
dients of standard Civil war
novel.
1.-THE Unterrified" has all OF
those ingredients. But it emphat-
ically is not standard Civil War
novel. q. 4~
For one thing, the hero isn't a
soldier. There is only one swift
whifk of battle smoke in all the
483 pages. Instead of the war
front, Constance Robertson is
concerned with the homefront, in
New York state, and the fraction
al conflicts and hatredS that boil
ed over in the. draft riots of 1868.
The North had no unanimity of
mind about the war, especially in
the early years while the issue
was in doubt. Particularly was the
Democratic party split between
its advocates of peace-at-any-
price and those who thought the
war should be fought through to
victory, even if Republicans were
at the nations helm.
The opposition to the war TO-
cuSsed in opposition to the draft.
If we can stop the draft, it was
argued, Washington will have to
stop the war because the armies
can't get needed manpower There
was no consideration of the point
that opposition to Washington
was, inversely, aid to Richmond.
Such situation was made to
order for smart agent like John
Andrews Ga character plucked in
tact from history, the author
says). Under the guise of organ
izing opposition to the draft, he
stirred up armed revolt. His plans
reached their climax--and frus-
tration-in five bloody days of
rioting in New York City.
Against such a dramatic back
drop, Mrs. Robertson tells a pow
