Pharmacists Here Offer
Services for Defense

The Washington Pharmaceuti-
cal Association has offered its
services to the District Office OF
Civil Defense. a spokesman for
the agency said today.
A committee of the association
met yesterday with Inspector John
E. Fondahl. acting director of
civil defense here, and DR.. Oscar
B. Hunter, head of the medical
care service for the agency.
officials welcomed the offer,
the spokesman said. He added
that a program for participation

event of an attack has not yet

other Government agencies.
It would be applicable espe-
cially to stenographers and typists
IN Government. whose services are
badly needed by the defense and
ether agencies directly connected
with the emergency program. The
would permit them to
take part-time employment in
these agencies.
The measure also would permit
retired commissioned officers to
take civilian jobs in Government.
The law now forbids this if their
annual pension and the civilian
lob total more than $4,000. The
bill would permit them the option
Of waving their pension rights
during their period of Federal
civilian employment, so they could
accept a Government job at any
salary.
This phase of the bill was re-
uuested by the Central Intelligence
Agency, as we'll as some OF the
military units who need the serv-
ices of these retired military OFF,
GERS in civilian assignments.
AGENCY MOVES-Top Federal
officials say the reports of whole
sale transfers of Federal agencies
and employees to other cities are
considerably exaggerated.
Present plans call for the trans
fer of agencies with a total of be-
tween 10000 to 10000 employees,
but not any greater number. And
even this total might be reduced
if Congress agreed to the Admins
tration's plan for dispensing about
10000 Federal workers and their
agencies to areas within Is to 20
miles of the District.
For if the dispersal plan is
adopted, the space problem in
Washington won't be so acute, and
consequently mass out-of- town
transfers won't be necessary. How
ever, it's definite that at least sew
eral of the smaller agencies are
scheduled to be transferred per-
manently out of town. 1t has not
yet been decided which ones they
will be. -....
Meanwhile, it's apparent that
lack of time will prevent this
special session of Congress from
acting on the dispersal legislation.
But key members of the House
and Senate Public Works Com
mittee say the hearings held on
the proposal during the last few
weeks will enable prompter con-
sideration of the plan when the
82d Congress convenes next
month.
GOBBLEDYGOOK - Any one
who believes that the Govern
ment is doing things these days
on simpler. less bureaucratic
basis, has another think coming.
Bureaucratic gobbledygook is
still the order Of the day. Take
a look at the Governments recent
order about the simple task of dis
posing of unwanted papers.
The order reads: cat the end
Of the retention period mutilate
the forms by tearing them into
small pieces or shredding them,
and dispose of the resulting waste
in accordance with established
procedure at the station where the
forms are held"
In other words, tear them up
and throw them away.
