Senate 70 Move
IN WASHINGTON


TOR THE FIRST TIME in lS5
! years the senate Of the United
States, according to present plans.
will hold its sessions outside the
Capitol building if and when it
moves lock, stock and barrel, into
the swanky, marble-walled. air.
conditioned senate caucus chamber
in the senate office building about
June 80.
The occasion Of this historic trek
across the Capitol grounds is made
necessary by the reconstruction Of
the roofs and the removal Of the
unsightly temporary steel girders
and framework in both the house
and senate chambers.
This temporary construction was
placed there as a safety measure
when the roofs Of the two wings
threatened to collapse back in 1889
and 1910.
During that construction pc
riOd, the house did move out Of
the building and held its sessions
in the ways and means chamber
in the house office building, but
the senate remained in the
Capitol, holding its sessions in
the old supreme court chamber
which was vacated by that
judicial body in 1885 upon the
completion Of the new supreme
court building.
The present house chamber wing
Of the Capitol was completed anC
occupied by the lower body on De
cember Is, 1857, while the senate
chamber was completed two year:
later and occupied for the frs
time by the senate on january 4
1859.
The only other occasion when th'
congress held its sessions outsid'
the Capitol building was after th'
burning of the original Capitol b!
the British on August "a, 1914
From that time, until the new Cap
itol building was ready for oc
cupancy in 1919, Congress met il
what was then Blodgett's hotel a
Seventh and E streets and later il
a building erected to house them o.
portion Of the site now occupie,
by the new supreme court building
In the meantime the beautifI
grounds Immediately adjacent
the Capitol on both the house an
senate sides resemble a construt
ton camp with high board wal
surrounding temporary building
and quarters for workers.

Ways Of Debate

All sorts of extraneous matters
creep into debates over appropria-
ton bills. In the floor debate on
the post office appropriation meas
ure in the senate the two South
Carolina senators, Maybank and
Johnston, wanted to include some
$4,000 worth of cotton twine, and
the battle went on for some hours
and many pages in the Congression-
al Record:
Senator Maybank-Is It not q
fact that the United States govern
ment took over the poor cotton
farmer and sold it at profit Of
500. 100000?
Senator Taft (OhiO)-Mr.
President, If the senator viii
yield 1 will say that the gov.
ernment never got the SSO,OOOs-
600. That was only the figure
at which it was sold to foreign
countries who never paid for
it. That was the net result Of
lend lease.
''Mr. Maybank-But the senator
will agree as to the figure; win he
not?
''Mr. Taft--Yes; but we got nc
money for it. We merely got in re.
turn credits that we Cancelled. Thai
is all we got for it.
''Mr. Baldwin (Connecticut)-It
was a paper profit Of the mos
paperish sort, was it not?
''Mr. Taft-That is correct"

year ago. Some of this unemployment is due to
seasonal fluctuations. However, an increasing
amount is due to a general slump in sales Sales
slumps have backlogged inventories and resulted in
cut-backs in production-which means fewer jobs.
Many industries show declines in profits, from
$50 in appliances to 379o in textiles, when the first
quarter of 1949 is compared with the same period
in 194S Faced by this situation, companies are fir
ing not hiring

No School Gurbs

In passage Of the federal aid to
schools legislation by the senate,
that body decided two fundamental
questions which have been moot
ones for the past 80 years: ID that
illiteracy is a national problem and
co that federal appropriations for
schools does not necessarily mean
federal control Of schools.
1t has been proved definitely that
federal aid to education should not
be regarded as a levy against the
people, bur as an investment that
will yield large returns. -

WHO WILL. GET THE JOBS?

Job competition this season will be rough and
tough. One out of every four college graduates of
the class of 1949 will still be job hunting when
September comes young mans character will, in
real measure determine whether he gets a job.
Companies search out men with strong character
traits of integrity, dependability, ndustrousness,
ingenuity, perseverance, temperance and and sense
of responsibility.
Companies also look for good personality. Per-
sonality implies fexibility self-contrOl emotional
stability, and the ability to get along with others.
Business wants those with good judgment and COM
mon sense. Business wants men with good motiva-
tion, men who have ambition and a purpose, and
who are not afraid of hard work Business wants
men who are highly competitive.

'Governmemtese' Writing Hit

gresham irate over departmental
spending. She said, however, that
an avalanche of requests came for
such a booklet as the story spread
There are 1900 Government
writing jobs" Miss Perkins said
and almost half are held by women
Two-thirds of them are in the
field and the remainder in Wash
ington. Women writer's and editors
number 20 per cent in the Agricul-
ture Department and rs per cent
in the Navy Department. Many OF
the jobs deal with research"
In speaking of the qualifications
Miss Perkins said she was saving
the following thoughts for the
Hoover Commission. II think we
should abolish most Of the forms
and reduce the size of most of the
others. At least, have persuaded
them to take out a few of the i'm
pertinent questions asked appli-
cants."
Shortly after assuming her job as
commissioner, Miss Perkins came
out strongly against Government
intrusion in its workers privacy.
The speaker stressed that seldom
does a Government writer get credit
for her creation; she can't say what
she wants to say and she will bs
horrif1ed at how her words lool
when they hit the printed page.
But, at least. in one small ares

Patriotic S0cietv
Opposes World
Government

A resolution supporting the prin-
ciples Of world organization through
sincere and open cooperation among
nations" but firmly opposing world
government with q supreme au-
thority over all national govern
ments" was adopted yesterday by
the National Society Of Patriotic
Women.
The resolution was presented
by the national defense chairman,
Mrs. John Hall AFFORD, at a meet
ing held at the Mayhower Hotel.
Earlier, the delegates represent
ing about eight States, had heard
their national president, Mrs. Will
liam A. Becker, voice a warning
against the dangers of world gov
ernment in luncheon address.
In the resolution, the society ex-
pressed belief in the need of CO.
operation and understanding be-
tween nations as developed by the
United Nations Charter. It cau-
toned, however, that this need has
encouraged attempts to indorse and
set up a world government which
would render void many provisions
Of our United States Constitution. :"
The society Is planning to pre-
sent the resolution before the 23d
Women's Patriotic Conference on
National Defense opening today at
the Statler.
Proponents Of world government
advocate a type Of state where
in population representation, the
United States would have little in
huence, Mrs. Becker asserted. You
would give up your sovereignty she
said, "and your most priceless herit-
lage-freedom."
This heritage is not something
that is guaranteed one generation to
another, but an ideal of life which
unless it is preserved through hard
work can be lost through indiffer-
ence and apathy"
The speaker expressed opposition
to Federal aid to education and also
attacked proposals for what she
termed "socialized medicine"
DO you want members Of the
medical profession to be told what
fees they will charge, how long they
may work and whom they may
serve?" she asked.
Mrs. Becker hailed the work of
the House Committee on Un-Amer-
icane Activities and advised the
group to write their members of
Congress urging it's continuance.

are not as much danger as the fel-

Forget that yen to write for
Uncle Sam, lady, unless you know
how to handle that highfallutin
language - Governmentese - and
don't want to see your name in
print.
Miss Frances Perkins, Civil Serv-
ice Commissioner, painted a hu-
morous. but grim word picture last
night Of Writing Jobs for Women
in Government" at a dinner meet
ing of the National Capital Alum
nae Chapter OF Theta Sigma Phi at
the Press Club.
The former Secretary of Labor
emphasized that there were oppor-
tunities for women in this branch
of civil service with a salary range
of $500 to sl0,330. The last sum
is being paid to a woman in the
State Department and one In the
Federal Security Agency, she said.
Even these highly paid women
had to learn Governmentese at
some stage of the game, according
to the speaker.
1--WE never been able to learn II
myself Miss Perkins said. I'm
sure there must be course in it. u
She reminded her audience of the
blackout signs Of the war, which
read, "the illumination must be
extinguished before departing The
cabinet took a vote on that one,
she said, and it was unanimous for
put out the lights"
The things that come over my
desk" Miss Perkins exclaimed. "One
man said he had ironed out all the
bottlenecks. Now, I'm a visual.
minded person. You're not told tt
get ready, you're either activated OF
alerted.
Have you heard Of the poor late
ly? No, they're always called the
underprivileged. don't believe
that's the correct word-at least
they have the privilege Of not hav.
ing to keep up with the Joneses"
Miss Perkins said she believed the
present usage of words was a reflec.
ton Of the idea of mechanizing man
People who should have known bet.
ter used mechanical words-insult-
ing words-to describe beings in the
war, she added.
"Take the double e." she said, "se-
lectee, draftee, even amputee"
Explaining that Congress doesnt
like the word publicity. Miss Perkins
said q government writer was called
usually an information specialist
and now even takes an examination
under the title project in plan
ming"
Ideas for many Of the titled
Government pamphlets and booklets
stem from requests and inquiries OF
the public, Miss Perkins stated. The
Maritime Commission publishes q
pamphlet, Boats of Barbary Pi-
rates." she said, and the reason for
this nickel narrative-the demand
of model ship builders.
The most popular government
booklet, which has sold 5000, ,00o
copies, is Infant Care" published
by the Children's Bureau, she ex-
planned. THE style in caring for
babies has changed four times
since it was first printed" she
laughed.
The myth Of the Agriculture De-
partment's "Lovelife of the Frog"
was refuted by Miss Perkins and
taken back to the source Of q Con-
