prises.
The investigation, which first got
under way when the GAO re-ex-
amined the Governments contract
with Government Services, Inc, will
concentrate on all types of privately
operated functions.
Not only cafeterias and snack
bars, but activities like dress shops
and drugstores in buildings like the
Pentagon, vending. machine opera
tions, and recreational affairs staged
in Government buildings by private
groups are being looked into by the
GAO.
Some Federal officials feel that
the Government is not getting as
much money out of these activities
as it is entitled to. They say a
re-appraisal of the entire question
of subletting space to private con-
Germs has been long due.
At any rate, the GAO investiga-
tion should result in some interest

take some time, though. before GAO
finishes its study of the situation

NEW LOOK-The Civil Service
Commission intends to modernize
further the various examinations it
gives for Federal jobs.
During the past few years the
commission has greatly revised the

years without change. But COM
mission officials feel that still fur
ther revisions are necessary to in
sure that the most qualified candi-
dates are selected for Government
jobs.
In the past there. have been quite
a few complaints that some civil
service tests did not correctly gauge
an applicants suitability for the job.
Commission officials are closely
studying the types OF tests given
by some of the country's largest
corporations In selecting employees.
From these industry tests, the COM
mission feels that still further i'm
provements can be made in Federal
examinations.

White House Balcony
Plan Is Criticized by
Architects Institute

Criticism of President Truman's
intention of erecting a White House
balcony over opposition of. the Fine
Arts Commission was sounded yes
terday by the executive committee
of an architects organization.
The protest will be offered in the
form of a resolution by the execu-
tive committee to the Washington
Metropolitan Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects at its
January % meeting.
The committee did not pass on
the merits of the balcony, pro-
posed by Mr.. Truman as a $4,000
addition to the south portico, but
disapproved as a matter of principle
action which ignores the Fine Arts
Commissions recommendations, a
spokesman said.
The commission, whose powers as
to White House alterations are SOL
ely advisory, has unanimously dis
approved the balcony plan.
There are about 240 members in
the Washington Metropolitan Chap
ter. The January % meeting will be
joint session attended by a dele
cation from the Baltimore chapter.
Text of the resolution adopted by
the Executive Committee follows:
"The Executive Committee of the
Washington Metropolitan Chapter
of the American Institute OF Archi-
tects, appreciating the contributions
made by the National Commission
Of Fine Arts toward development of
the City of Washington, disapproves
as matter of principle any action
by the President or any Govern
ment agency tending to ignore rec
concentrations of the commission in

Hartley Announces
He Definitely Won I
Run for Reelection

Chairman Hartley of the
House Labor Committee an
nounced yesterday that he has
decided not to run for re-elec-
ton to Congress.
Mr.. Hartley, New Jersey Republi-
can who helped write the Taft
Hartley labor law, is a veteran of 10
terms in the House.
His announcement made no men
! tion Of recent newspaper story
quoting him as saying he would be
willing to be the Republican candi-
date for vice president this year.
Definite Conclusion"
aI have come to the definite and
final conclusion that I will not be
a candidate for reelection to Con-
gress," he said In a statement given
to reporters.
Mr.. Hartley became chairman of
the House Labor Committee when
the Republican Party won control of
Congress in the 1916 election. The
next ranking majority member of
the committee is Representative
Lands, Republican of Indiana.
"Since 1912 I have been planning
to retire from Congress" Mr..
Hartley's statment said. "In 1914
and 1916, I was prevailed upon to
aspire for just one more term.
For the past two or three months
have received hundreds of COM
munications from people from all
walks of life and from almost every
section of the United States urging
me to seek reelection, primarily for
my part in the framing of the Taft
Hartley law.
Draft Movement Started.
"An organized draft-movement
was gotten under way and was
appealed to by the Republican Or
ganization and by many of its lead
ers, not only in my district, but
throughout New Jersey and the Ma
ton as well.
"I could not fail to give earnest
consideration to such compliment.
It was also apparent to me that
certain labor leaders would try to
create the impression that I was
declining to run for reelection for
fear that I would be defeated be-
cause Of my co-authorship of the
Taft-Hartley law.
TT is a matter of record that 7
trounced the combined, organized
opposition of the CIO, AFL and
PAC in 1912, 1914 and 1916
,"I have sought the advice of
friends whose opinions I greatly re-
spect, and, having given all the ele-
ments involved my most thoughtful
consideration, I have come to the
definite and final conclusion that I
will not be candidate for re-elec-
ton to Congress.
Mr.. Hartley represents the 10th
New Jersey district, comprised of
parts of Essex and Hudson Coun-
ties. His statement said that "as
further evidence of my determine
ton to retire." he has sold his home
in Kearney, N. j., and moved to his
farm in Hunterdon County, in the
7th district.
Born in Harrison, N. j., and a
graduate of Rutgers University, Mr..
Hartley has been in public life since
he was appointed to the Kearny
Library Commission in 1923. He was
elected municipal commissioner
the next year and was Hudson
County Republican chairman in 1925
and 1926.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-The first ful

Ing from some primary food market.
new record prices.
While the grain and livestock
markets left the consumer with .
feeling Of having seen all this be-
fore. that battered character coul6
take some solace from what hap
pened to butter In the wholesale
trade, It crashed In the steepest
price decline In many months.
Cattle provided the new record al
the Nations stockyards. Prime
steers at Chicago brought $41.25 a
hundred pounds. While that was a
Chicago record, 1t didn't quite match
the national peak OF $41.65 set at
Sioux City on the last day of 1947
Goes to Famous Restaurants.
Livestock dealers said meat from
this kind of cattle doesn't show up
in corner butcher stores-it goes to
such places as nationally famous
restaurants, hotels and Southern
resort centers. Until the current
postwar boom the peak price OF
cattle was $21 so in 1919.
But it wasn't only prime steers
which jumped to new records. Heif-
ers, vealers and cows all sold at the
best prices in history at Chicago. In
contrast, hog prices barely held
steady as farmers unloaded larger
than expected supplies.
The grains which the cattle eat
corn and oats-also spurted. A car
Of yellow corn sold for $2.77 a bushel
and red oats at $1.48h on the Chi
cago Board of Trade. Both were
records for the 100 years the board
has operated.
Federal Report Cited.
Traders said a good explanation
for such prices was provided in an
Agriculture Department report
which showed feed grain supplies on
farms as the smallest since 1887,
largely a result of last summers
drought cutting the corn crop. AL
though strong, wheat did not estab-
lish new peaks.
Commodities classified in the fats
and oils group scored substantial
advances. These ranged all the way
from new seasonal highs fer cotton
seed oil futures at New York through
record price for soybeans in Illi-
nois towns to an all-time high for
copra at Manila.
Copra, the meaty part of the CO.
coanut, is used to produce oil util-
ilized in soap making. Soap manu-
facturers paid 27 cents pound for
fancy tallow in New York, against
20 cents a week ago, and were ru-
mored, to be buying lard and rem
dered pork fat.
