REORGANIZATION - Public
Building Administration officials
say they are hopeful that the Bu-
reau of Employees Compensation
now in New York, can be moved
back here sometime next month.
And it has been decided that the
Postal Accounts Division of the
General Accounting Office will not
be returned to Washington until
the new GAO building is completed.
j No final decision has been made
regarding the final location Of the
Bureau of Old Age and Survivors
Insurance now in Baltimore. The
bureau is located in an old loft
building and Federal officials are
anxious to move the agency as soon
as possible.
There is some sentiment for
transferring the bureau to Wash
ington, but tight space conditions
here might necessitate transferral
to another city.

WON'T BUDGE-Chairman Hoff =
man of the House Executive EX-
penditures Committee is still sitting
firmly on legislation which would
increase the travel allowances OF
Government employees from the
present s6 rate to So day.
Despite the pressure from Re-
publican and Democratic members
of the committee to hold hearings
on the bill, Mr.. Hoffman remains
firm in his refusal to bulge.
The bill has been approved by the
Senate, where Republican leaders
supported it Fundamentally. And
a majority of Republicans in the
House indicate they would vote for
the measure If it ever came up on
the House floor.
Unfortunately. however, the bill
can't come up for a vote unless it
clears Mr.. Hoffman's committee
Advocates of the bill have not given
up-they are still trying to persuade
Mr.. Hoffman to change his mind.
The measure is very worthwhile
one. Various members of Congress
as we'll as Government employees
who have to travel out of town on
official business say that present
living costs makes the present Sc
per diem allowance totally made
quate."
CAPITAL ROUNDUP Their e
probably will be little action on
Federal pay raise legislation for at
least two weeks, while House and
Senate leaders make up their minds
about the situation. Pay bill sup
porters are confident that Congress
will approve some kind of a pay
increase bill, although they expect
the amount to be rather modest.
The House Rules Committee
tomorrow is expected to give the
right-of f-way to legislation which
would force Federal agencies to
turn over to congressional commit
tees any confidential information
that Congress deens--ascessatE
President Truman would undoubt-
edly veto the bill If Congress passed
it, and the question remains as to
whether the House could muster
the two-thirds vote necessary to
override a veto.

the past few years protested that

of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee sponsored a bill to take care
of the situation And the Senate
speedily approved the bill last week
But the legislation now faces the
danger of being blocked in the House

opposition is said to be based on
the feeling that these former en-
ployes will be better off If they leave
their money in the retirement fund
and secure a full annuity at the age
of 81.
However, many Of the persons in
volved are still unemployed and
need the money now. The bill
would not cost the Government
anything-in fact 1t would save
money through the elimination of
interest payments.
The commission always has taken
paternalistic attitude in retire
ment matters-the attitude that the
commission knows what is best for
Government employees. In the past,
this attitude has been sharply
criticized by the Senate Civil Service
Committee, which is perhaps the
reason why the commission waited
until the present legislation was
before the House Civil Service Com

people to death with little or no
warning was reported to the Ameri-
can College of Surgeons today by a
New York pathologist. d..
This insidious killer is called spin
die and giant cell thyroid cancer.
DR.. Frank w. Foote, associate path
ologist of Memorial Hospital, New
York City, said that about Is per
cent of all thyroid carcinoma is of
this type.
He reported on 80 cases. OF these,
% were dead and two could not be
located in the follow-up. The longest
any Of them lived was II months.
Half of them died within three
months Of disqualification.
Half of the 100000 people in the
United States who now have cancer
could be cured if they would get
proper medical care without delay,
three surgeons asserted yesterday.
The three surgeons. leaders in
the fight against the second most
deadly disease of Americans, are

Hospital, New York City; DR..

In values like the first "airbridge"
envelopes in philatelic history-let-
tiers and papers sent by balloon mail

Such letters carrying the seal "par

but there are expected to be many
more Of the modern equivalent than
were issued then. The first con-
ception of the postmark as received
here gives the impression of crea-

The luftbrucke covers 60 by air;
they do not bear airmau stamps
or carry airpost rates. They bear
ordinary domestic postal rates as
If they went by train and are car
ried by air for convenience-and
because it is the only way out for
the mail, the letters do not receive
airmail treatment and delays in
transit are seven days or more. 1t
is understood the impression will
appear on all letters mailed from

Balium was convicted before

Before sentencing the offender
to ten-day term in Jail in lieu of
a $50 fine, the Judge bluntly de-
nounced the manner in which evil

With excellent phrasing and har
mony, a new vocal group on Cap
itol label has give a standout ver-
sion of the old favorite, "My Gal
Sal" An barber shop quartette
style by the Sportsmen is accent
uated by the subdued orchestral
accompaniment and pointed up by
piano highlights. The famous Paul
Dresser song of "Frivalouse Sal,
a peculiar sort of a gall is an
other good reason for the revival
of "Oldies" in preference to the
the Tin Pan Alley latest products.
Four new songs from the motion
picture "Cashbah" has been COM
posed by the famous writing team
of Leo Robin and Harold Arlen.
All of them are fine listening
and has been pressed for victor by
Tony Martin, who handled them
in the picture. The best of these
four numbers is "For Every Man
There's A Woman" a kind of
blues tune with short lyric pas
sages and instrumental response
that makes it catchy and appeal
ing.
On the Columbia label Dinah
Shore sings "Hooray For Love"
the second "Casbah' tune with a
sophisticated lyric set to the light
and engaging melody. Dinah's
flipover "Whats Good About Good
praise of love and what people will
do for it is quite dancable too. The

"Casbah." Although Miss Shore
does fine job, Tony Martins

to be found.

MO ONE knew the baby's age, who his mar.
i Y ents had been, or even his nationality.
He was just another fragment of unidentified
war wreckage which had drifted into this
hospital in the American zone of Germany.
But his big sad eyes caught the attention
of young UNRRA official, William H.
Sudduth, who was making an inspection tour
of the ward. The baby seemed to be mostly
eyes, the rest of him but pipe-stem arms,
starvation-bloated stomach and badly crip-
Piled club feet
Bill Sudduth gazed at the baby for several
minutes, finally returned to his quarters.
But two days later he went back to the hos.
pital and asked for custody of the child.
There was no objection - only mild surprise
that he should want one 50 unpromising

and had doctor start the long, painful job of
Strengthening the crooked feet He gave the
boy birthday - April 6, 1914 - named
him Peter Sudduth, and had him baptized.
AS the months went by, he watched proper
food round out the starved little body and
bring happy alertness to the sad eyes,
1t was a lucky day for little Peter when
Sudduth made his decision. And it was
lucky for many more persons. For Bill
decided then and there to dedicate his life to
rescuing other victims of terror
In most cases this means bringing them to
the United States and helping them get on
their feet when they reach here The diff
culties involved make this feat little short of
miracle; to date, Bill has performed this
miracle for 60 persons.
One day a few months ago met two of the
60 when they stepped off their transatlantic
plane. They were two pretty Estonian girls,
Silva Mardiste and Asia Tamm. Behind them
lay the memory of families now dead, of
forced labor in German factories, of air raids,
hunger and chaos, of homeland to which it
would probably mean death to return.
A Coed Lie Ahead
before them were scholarships in American
colleges and warm welcome from their fel-
port to meet them. For Asia, who had been
adopted" by the student body of Centenary
Junior College, there were even a trunkful Of
clothes and pocketbook of spending money.
Sudduth is young man of modest means.
He has the ready smile and folksy friendliness
of small-towner - which, in fact. he is.
One of seven children, he was born on cot
ton plantation near Starkville. Miss. For
several years. however, he has lived in New
York City, where he is an executive of the
American Express Company.
