A delegation of more than 800
persons, most of them members of
the Brooklyn chapter of the Con-
gress of American Women, arrived

mans proposal to aid the Greek and
Turkish governments.
A special detail of police was on
hand at Union Station when the
group arrived shortly before noon.
Signs carried by the women demon
strators included United in the
United Nations" What Did Turkey

U. N. World Control, Not U. S. A.
World Control"
They were met by six members of

Women's Congress, headed by Mrs.
Sylvia Beitscher. They carried a
number of placards protesting the
aid program. Mrs. Beitscher said
about Is members of the local chap
ter will take part in the demonstra-
ton of the organization.
The out-of-town delegation was
led by Mrs. William Howard Melish,
president of the Brooklyn chapter
and wife of an Episcopalian min
ister.
The women went to a temporary
headquarters established at the
Naval Lodge Building, 3281a Penn
sylvania avenue Sc, where they
made plans for a parade this after
noon along Constitution avenue be-
tween Fourth and Fifteenth streets.
Mrs. Beitscher said small groups
had made appointments to confer

lations leaders.
Mrs. Melish issued a statement

troll of the democratic Greek peo-
Pile"

The woman's congress, it was

$4,000 TO Design
New Senate Bui|dinq
Voted in Committee

The Senate Public Works Com
mittee today approved a bill for
planning an additional Office build
ing for the Senate.
Chairman Revercomb said the bill
would appropriate s25,000 to be
spent by the Capitol architect for
preliminary plans and cost estimates
for the structure.
Three Republicans, Senators
Brooks, of Illinois; Bridges, of New
Hampshire, and Revercomb, of West
Virginia, are authors of the bill.
The bill does not specify any site
for the additional Office building.
It is known, however, that a favor
able site is a square on the Capitol
Plaza, directly west of the present
Senate Office Building. If the
structure were erected there, the
two Senate Office Buildings would
constitute companion group to the
old and new House Office Buildings
on the south side of the Capitol
Plaza.
Also to be considered in planning
additional office space for the Sen
ate, Senator Revercomb said, would
be the possibility of wings on the
interior court of the present build
ing. There also has been informal
discussion of the possibilities of en-
larging the Capitol Building itself.
The pending bill says nothing about
this, however.
The bill empowers the Capitol
architect to prepare plans and esti-
mates under the direction and super
vision of the Senate Office Building
Commission, the membership of
which would be increased from three
to five members to be appointed by
the president of the Senate.
The Revercomb bill for a new
Federal courthouse here was con-
sidered at the committee meeting,
but 1t was decided that hearings
should be held before taking final
action. The committee may schedule
these hearings sometime within the
next two weeks, Senator Revercomb
said.
The committee also favorably re-
ported a bill to authorize the Gov
ernment to sell steam heat from it's
central heating plant to the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution. A
similar bill has been reported favor
ably to the House by its Public
Works Committee.

UPWA Tells Congress
How Cuts Will Impair
Labor Department

Members of United Public Work
ers Of America (CIO) were on Cap
itol Hill today, informing legisla-
tors that threatened cuts in per-
sonnel would impair the Labor De-
partment's functions.
The appropriation for the 1948
fiscal year, which starts July /,
1947, is due for a House vote late
this afternoon. The House has rec
commended curtailment of all de-
partment activities which, it was
said, would involve firing an esti-
mated 1900 employees in line with
a 371a per cent cut in operating
funds.
At a special meeting late yester-
day of UPWA Local 10, comprising
Labor Department workers, union
members agreed to assemble at 10
am. today in the rear of Tenn
porary Building U, on Constitution
avenue near Fourteenth street NV,
and from there go to the Capitol
in small groups. They intend to
advise many apparently unin-
formed Congressman" of the i'm
plications of the curtailment.
Affected Divisions Cited.
The union said functions which
would be drastically affected by
firing the employees would involve
the United States Employment
Service. Wage and Hour Division,
Solicitors Office, Cancellation Serv-
ice, Division of Labor Standards,
Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
Office of the Secretary.
Roy Patterson, chairman of the
Labor Department unit of the union,
told members that in addition to
participating in these lobby day"
activities, they should advise the
folks back home" of the proposed
cuts so that pressure can be brought
to bear on Congress to keep the lay
offs at a minimum.
About half of the workers expected
to be dismissed are in Washington.
The ultimate number of workers to
be let go will depend to a great
extent on the departments annual
leave liability. When an employe
leaves Government, he must be paid
for all the leave he has coming to
him.
Leave to Be Ordered.
AS a means of cutting down on
this potential liability the depart
ment will order several thousands of
its employees to take their annual
leave next week, but it was stressed
this does not mean that all en-
ployes who take the leave will be
dismissed.
A program outlined by the union
yesterday calls for the department
sending letter to congressional
leaders asking for sufficient funds
to give 30-day notices exclusive of
leave to all d-off employees.
It also asks that only those en-
ployes who are expected to be laid
off and who have more than 80
days of accumulated leave should
be placed on enforced annual leave.
Optional Arrangements Asked.
In addition the program called
for an optional arrangements for
employees due to be dismissed. 1t
urged that when it is determined
an employe is to be laid off he shall
have the preference of being placed
on normal 30-day notice and receiv-
ing his accrued annual leave in a
lump sum at the end of the notice,
or of being placed on annual leave
with the notice of dismissal to be-
gin at expiration of leave.
The program also urged the de-
partment to ask Congress to give
unemployed compensation to Fed
eral employees. In addition it sug-
gested the department should have
an active placement program for
its uorkorc
