Dispersal Plan Study
Delayed Temporarily.
In Senate Committee

Discussion Of a stock-piling fund
proposal today delayed the Senate
Appropriations Committees con-
sideration of the Presidents re-
quest for $139.8 million to decen-
tralize some key Government
agencies.
The committee, however, hoped
to take up that item late this
afternoon.
General Services Administrator
Jess Larson and almost dozen
of his administrative associates
attended the committees closed
hearingoand were prepared to ex-
plain the proposal for removing
several Government agencies to
places within 80 miles Of WASH
ington.
The $16.7 billion supplemental
appropriation bill now before the
Senate committee contained not
only the 1898 million item but
many other requested outlays to
be handled by GSA. The stock
piling fund lis included in that
list.
Mcmahon Called to Testify.
Chairman Mcmahon of the
Joint Atomic Energy Committee
also was scheduled to appear
before the Senate committee tn
urge immediate Congressional
action on the decentralization
plan. There was some doubt,
however. that the COMMITTEES
would be able to hear him before
tomorrow.
Senator Mcmahon said he would
urge the committee and Congress
in general to approve this phase
OF the dispersal program before
adjournment Of this session.
For more than a week the Senate
Appropriations Committee has
been holding daily meetings on a
$16.7 billion supplemental appro-
lpriation bill. The measure con-
tains II District items, including q
$4,000 allotment for civilian de-
tense here. That item originally
was $290,000 but was cut by the
House. District officials have
asked the Senate committee to
restore it.
Details Of Plan Kept Secret.
Backers of the $139.s million de-
centralization request hope that
the Senate will add 1t to the sup
Elemental appropriation bill to
speed and ease its chances OF. final
House approval.
Mr.. Larson and his associates
had an informal conference with
a House Appropriations subcom-
mittee last week. The plan has
encountered mixed reactions in
Congress. Its advocates say this
has resulted largely because most
members do not yet know much
about it.
Details Of the plan have been
kept secret. although most Of its
main features have been revealed
In general by various sources.
While detailed material has been
submitted to the Senate commit
tee, it is regarded more as "justi-
flcation report" than q complete
itemized plan.
Many Long Range Requests.
The plan has many long-range
elements. The Presidents request
for funds for dispersal of some
Government agencies to points
between 20 and 80 miles outside
of Washington Is a major part Of
the overall plan. -
This would entail $120 million
for construction Of several build
ings, each to cost about $l6 mil.
lion and house about 5000 work.
ers. There also would be high
way construction. estimated at
$14 million; parking facilities and
similar arrangements. Possible
sites have been studied but no de-
cisions will be made for some
time.
About 10000 employees would be
moved. New locations would in
clude many key officials as well a.
records and materials.

ship of the S0-year-old Mr..
Mitchell. Another factor said to
be holding up the appointment
of a new commission chairman
Is the fact that Mr.. Mitchells
son. Representative Mitchell,
Democrat, of Washington. is up
for reelection this November.
Since the elder Mitchell is very
popular and influential out there,
administration officials feel that
it might hurt the younger
Mitchell's chances for reelection
should his father step out of Of
flee at this time.
PROMOTIONS AND TRANS
FERS - Top Administration Off
cials are putting a lot of pressure
on Democratic members of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
to kill the House-approved ban on
permanent promotions in Govern
ment jobs for the next year.
Government officials feel that
the House proviso limiting promo
tions to temporary basis would
greatly handicap essential agen-
cies In retaining key personnel.
The Senate group also is being
urged to kill the House provision
which prevents Federal employees
from transferring to higher pay
ing jobs in other agencies. This
limitation especially would hamper
the defense agencies in securing
the special skills of Government
workersda other bureaus, Federal
officials declare.
HARD TIMES-The Civil Serv-
ice Commission apparently is try
ing to trim expenses wherever it
can these days. The latest COM
mission press release came in an
old Office of Price Administration
envelope.
VETERANS CREDIT-The
Senate's refusal to override Pres
ident Truman's veto of the bill
giving within-grade pay increases
to veterans in the Post Office De-
partment, kills whatever hope
other veterans In Government
may have had Of getting similar
pay raises next year.
The regular employe groups had
not pressed to secure these mill
tary credit pay increases for
non postal veterans In Govern
ment, feeling that 1t would be,
better strategy to wait until the
veterans received these benefits.
Then the plan was to ask for
similar benefits for other vet
erans in Government. All this,
however, was dashed by the
Senate's failure to override.
JOBS-The Naval Gun Fac
tory will give exams for appren-
tices in mechanical trades jobs.
There are % different types of
jobs.
Applicants will be required to
take a written test, but no ex-
periences or education will be re-
quired. Additional information
may be obtained at the Civil
Service Commissions main office,
Seventh and F streets NV.
VETERANS-The percentage of
veterans in Government jobs in
creased by two per cent during
the past year.
Veterans now hold 40 per cent
of all Government jobs. More
than 81 per cent of all men en-
ployes in Government are vet

You can tell what the cheese is
made of by the label on it. 1t is
generally made of whole milk.
But, if it is made of partly. skim
med or skinned milk, it must
carry qualifying adjective on
the label such as ''part-skim" or
skim"
We all notice a difference in
the way some of the American
or Cheddar cheese tastes. This is
caused by the degree of ripeness.
The ripening or aging process
changes the lumpy, curdy texture
of freshly made cheese to one that
is firm but pliable and mellow
The flavor gets ''tangi tt or sharp
er as the aging processes.
Ageing Cheddar cheese to the
point of sharpness" used to take
8 to IL months. Today, thanks tc
research, the same process requires
from 3 to 4 months.

is made of cream, thickened BY

net to aid curdling. There are {
