Veterans Protest
Move 10 Shift
ServiceCenter
Groups Join Forces to
Fight Custer From
information Building

All District veterans organiza-
tions joined forces today to protest
a proposal by the Public Buildings
Administration to Danish the Dis
trict Veterans Service Center from
the Information Building, Four
teenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV.
The protests were heard by the
Commissioners at a District Build
ing meeting with representative
Of the PBA and veterans organ1-
zation spokesmen.
L. A. Zurnicki, the PBA Official,
said the Federal Government
would need l,000,0 900 square feet
Of Office space In Washington with
In 10 months for the 1850 national
census and other Federal opera
tions.
Logan School Called Unsuitable
He said he appeared before the
Commissioners to explore" the
possibility of moving Waldron E
Leonard's Veterans Service Cen
ter to another District Building.
Archie HutSon, a member of the
Commissioners Space Committee
told the city heads the only other
space available for the veterans
center would be the abandoned
Logan School. located far from
transportation lines. at Third and
@ streets NE. He described the
school as unsuitable and made
quate for the purpose.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young, questioning the Space
Committee. brought out that the
Federal Government now occu-
pies $4,000 square feet of District
owned space while the District
uses only the 5000 square feet now
occupied by the Service Center.
How Issue Originated.
Behind the PBA proposal is a
recent decision of the Commits
sioners to recapture 10000 square
feet of space in the new Central
q 4@1bI Ga oO4A041Bs xOS CAA1AoyA-
vania avenue NV, which is
owned by the District. but which
had been promised to the PBA.
The District believed it will need
the space to make room for sales
tax personnel If the omnibus rev.
enue bill passes the Senate.
Shortly after the Commissioners
made this decision several weeks
ago, PBA made 1t known they
might require return of the Vet
erans' Service Center space.
Spokesman for the veterans or
ganization pointed to the fact that
the service center does 40 per cent
of It's work for veterans outside of
the District and that its central
location is one Of its paramount
assets. They said Logan School
is ''way off the beaten track"
Mr.. Leonard said transfer of the
center to less centrally located
point would be its downfall.
