u. 5. Defense Program
Requires More Office
SPACE Than Available
PBA Expects Demand
For ! 100000 Square Feet
To House IS 800 Workers
BY Francis P. Douglas

The Public Buildings Admins
tration expects the defense pro-
duction program of the Govern
ment will create a demand for
more than is million square feet
of Office space.
Figured on a basis of allowing
the standard 110 square feet Of
space per worker, this would indi-
cate an expectation of about 49,.
800 employees.
As for the space, the PBA
hasn't got it. ...
The PBA admitted it is facing q
knotty problem.
1t hopes some agencies car
absorb part of the space re-
quirements for the new and ex-
panded programs. Beyond that
additional space will have to be
acquired from private sources.
PBA's Present Space.
The agencies for which the
PBA is responsible for housing
now use 81 million square feet in
Government-owned and leased
buildings. This space is used by
about $4,000 employees.
The Commerce Department,
which is organizing to administer
the priorities and ALLEGATIONS
program of the defense produc-
ton program, said it plans to
house the top officials of the pro-
jected agency in the Commerce
Building. But space for a con-
siderable staff would have to be
found elsewhere, it was explained,
and the suggestion was made
that such space might be found
in a temporary building.
All the temporary buildings are
filled up, however. The World
War II "tempos" now house about
$4,000 Government workers.
Residence Halls Used.
To avoid renting additional
space, the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration has turned into office
buildings the residence halls for
Government women employees in
West Potomac Park and the
Langston area. There have been
extensive alterations and i'm
to these structures,
and about 100000 square feet of
space are now exhausted.
The new General Accounting
Office building and new court
house will make substantial ad-
dition to Government space. But
this will not be available for an
other six months or a year.
One means Of meeting the de-
according to PBA, is to

Lucas Says President
May Have 10 Cut Back
On Steel for Autos
Productive Capacity
Will Prevent Shutdown,
Senator Believes
BY the Associaied PresS

Senator Lucas, Democrat, of
Illinois, said today that President
Truman may have to limit the
amount of steel going into auto
mobiles but there will be no shut
down in car manufacturing.
Senator Lucas said in an address
prepared for Illinois broadcast
that because of the Korean crisis,
part of industry will have to shift
to the production of war equip
ment.
:''It is possible that the President
may limit the amount of steel
available for automobiles, to make
certain there will be plenty Of
steel for new tanks and guns, :"
Senator Lucas said.
But our ability to produce steel
has risen so rapidly and SO greatly
in recent years that there will be
no necessity for a shutdown in the
automobile industry such as the
one we experienced during the
Second World War.
Car Making to Continue.
This added capacity will make
it possible for us to manufacture
several million cars year in addi-
ton to many thousands of tanks
and trucks for the armed forces" f"
Senator Lucas said the cutbacks
under the defense mobilization bill
now on President Truman's desk
probably won't be as drastic as
some people fear.
Mr.. Truman is going on the
radio at 10:30 pm. tomorrow to
tell the Nation what controls he
thinks will be needed.
Predicts Excess Profits Tax.
Senator Lucas predicted that
Congress will act later to impose
an excess profits tax on business.
II can assure you that Congress
will not permit any individual or
any corporation to squeeze large
profits from our military expend-
itures," he said.
The Presidents speech-his Sec
ond report to the people in little
more than a week-will be carried
by the major broadcasting net
works and also will be televised.
The announcement of the speech
was made by Mr. Truman at his
: news conference yesterday at
which he emphasized that the
economic mobilization program
will be under civilian direction.
President Gives No Details.
The President gave no details
of what controls will be invoked
and said he would answer these
questions in his address to the
country.
The sweeping economic control
bill passed by Congress last week
is still being analyzed by inter-
ested Federal agencies. the Presi-
dent added, and has not been
signed.
However, it was expected that
the measure, giving the President
broad powers over the country's
economy to back up the fighting
forces in Korea, would be signed
before Mr.. Truman goes on the
radio.

Barrett Planning
To Triple Size Of
Juvenile Bureau
Police Chief Also Puts
Inspector Murray in
Charge Of Agency

Police Chief Robert j. Barrett
today announced plans to triple
the size of the Juvenile Bureau
which handles all police cases in
volving boys under 18.
At the same time, he ordered the
Juvenile Bureau to be placed un-
der Inspector Robert v. Murray.
chief of detectives. 1t has previ-
ously been under administrative
headquarters.
Goal of the reorganization, he
said, is to speed the handling of
juvenile cases.
Maj. Barrett also announced a
new plan for transporting juve-
niles, to avoid keeping them for
hours around precinct stations.
Two Annual Reports Made.
His announcement came as the
spotlight was focused on juvenile
offenders in two annual reports.
The Juvenile Court reported it
handled more juvenile cases dur
ing the 1850 fiscal year than in
any previous year, while it's adult
cases dropped by 13 per cent under
the previous year.
The Police Departments annual
report, made public by the Com
missioners yesterday, noted that
Is per cent of all serious felonies
during the 1850 fiscal year were
committed by juveniles.
The Juvenile Bureau, set I'D in
1914 to cope with the increasing
problem Of juvenile offenders, had
a staff OF 10 during the last fiscal
year The staff included it's COM
mandlng officer, 1t. John F. Ryan,
eight policemen and one civilian.
2 Men Added to Bureau.
Two more men were added to
the Juvenile Bureau a few DAYS
ago. Mai. Barrett said he hoped
to increase the bureau to between
Is and 80 men within the month.
Maj. Barrett said the Juvenile
Bureau with its enlarged staff will
be responsible for transporting
boys from station houses and
police bureaus to the Receiving
Home for Children or other
destinations. Previously. the
agency to which the boys we're to
be sent has picked them up but
that has meant the boys are left
sitting in station houses awaiting
transportation.
Under the new orders, Juvenile
Bureau men will join police from
other units in investigating cases
involving boys but the Juvenile
Bureau vii ltake the cases to court.
In the past. Maj. Barrett ex-
planned. men in the precincts and
other squads have been reluctant
to make cases involving juveniles
because of the subsequent COM
plications, including trips to
Juvenile Court.
Maj. Barrett also made public
the Juvenile Bureaus report on
its work during the past fiscal
year.
1892 Sent to Court.
The report showed that the
bureau screened 5,406 complaints
involving 3.749 names and 3,189
boys under 18. After screening.
the bureau had 3,7o9 actual
complaints and sent 1892 boys
to Juvenile Court.
The bureau itself conducted
1926 hearings on cases involving
first offenders. More than 5000
witnesses, including complainants.
the boys and their parents at
tended these hearings. AS a re-
suit Of the hearings 206 charges
were dropped. A total of 1,49l
first offenders were let off with
warnings and an informal sort
OF probation. OF these 293 were
traffic violatorS and all were sent
to traffic school.

report showed. 1872 came back

FEC Examiner Orders
Witness 10 Produce
Station KMPC Files
BY the Assoeioted Press


Los ANGELES, Mar. 1.-THE
Federal Communications Commits
sion has ordered Clete Roberts, q
radio news commentator, to pro-
duce documents he admits taking
from the files of station KMPC
when he was discharged two years
ago.
On petition of Hugh Fulton, of
Washington, D. c., attorney for
G. A. Richards, owner of KMPC
here: WJR, Detroit, and VICAR,
Cleveland, FEC Examiner j. Fred
erick johnson yesterday ordered
the subpoena issued.
Mr.. johnson is presiding over a
hearing on whether the stations
shall be granted license renewals
and to consider news-slanting
charges against Mr.. Richards.
Mr.. Richards has been accused of
bias against the Roosevelt family
and of Anti-Semitism.
Mr.. Fulton said the papers,
"which we considered as stolen, -
are needed for crosse examination.
They include notes, memoranda,
newscasts, commentaries, letters,
a Gen. Macarthur biographical
folder, scripts, tape and platter"
recordings.
Papers Guarded by Daughter.
Mr.. Roberts said the material
is being guarded by his 11-year-
old daughter and was under her
bed.
In a crosse examination, Mr..
Fulton drew from Mr.. Roberts
that he had held quite a few"
jobs and asked: did you lose
any of these jobs because you
were stubborn, obstinate or opin-
ionated?p
II think So" Mr.. Roberts re-
piled. II believe I left KOL in
Seattle for that reason"
Mr.. Roberts said he was fired
from KOL because "in concert
with others I agreed it would be
nice to have one day off a week"
Mr.. Roberts has worked twice
for KMPC, the first time he re-
signed eight years ago after sery-
ing 18 months. Fulton spent a
half hour asking the newscaster
to say whether he thought at that
time that the station was good
or bad"
Had Favorable Impression.
Mr.. Roberts replied that he
carried away a favorable impress
sion of the station as a whole"
an answer which did not satisfy
Mr.. Fulton.
Cant you say whether the
station was good or bad, in your
opinion?" Mr.. Fulton demanded.
"Or is 1t hopeless to get an an
swer?"
Mr.. Roberts said he couldn't
recall his opinion of the station at
that time. Following his dismissal
from KMPC two years ago, after
working there a second time, he
charged that as public affairs di-
rector. he had been ordered by
Mr.. Richards to slant the news
on many occasions.
Mr.. Fulton introduced q letter
Mr.. Roberts identified as one he
wrote to Mr.. Richards February
l. 1912, when he resigned. It said
in part "the past two years have
been the most important and to
a great extent the happiest in my
life F.. it has taught me many
things about the world and radio"
Mr.. Fulton also submitted for
evidence, then withdrew for proof,
a letter and carbon copy. of
letter. The letter. from the Ma
tional Jewish Hospital at Denver,
acknowledged receipt of $25 from
KMPC. 1t was dated September
IL. 1s47.
The carbon. addressed to Mr..
Richards, acknowledged receiving
$500 for the Jewish Welfare cam
paign. Dated May Is, 1946, it was
from Nate s. Shapiro, Detroit,
campaign director.

BROOKLYN, Aug. 28.-(SNS)
President Branch Hickey denied
Wednesday that Jackie Robinson

able player of 1919, would be trad
ed in 1851, as Dodger players
busily denied reports of fights and
dissension on the club.
The latest rhubarb in the Brook
Ign camp was stirred up by an off
guard statement Robinson made
last Saturday night when Manager
Burt Shotton removed him from
the lineup after he had made an
error.
At that time, Jackie was quoted
as saying: at wouldn't surprise
me if | were traded"
Hickey however said: 81 haven't
given a thought to trading Robin
son or any other player. At this
time Pm only concerned with how
Brooklyn can win the 1850 pen
nant. Of course, l don't mean that
Robinson can't be had for any
price. If | were offered two ball
clubs for him would consider
