GSA said that in fiscal 1851 it
provided office equipment--and
space-for 30.440 new employees,

June, the Budget Bureau notified
GSA there would be about 10000

about 1900 desks last July, now
hold only 2,s46. the agency said
today in response to inquiries.
This number is about the nor
NAL inventory. according to GSA.
It said the disposal Of desks since
July bears out its contention, at
that time, that the desks would be
absorbed in reasonable time and
that the problem was not one of
surplus desks but of a scarcity of
warehouse space.
GSA explained at the time at
tention was called to the large
number Of desks it had bought
that they were purchased on the
basis of needs estimated from
prospective employment figures
and to take advantage of lower
prices offered by desk makers,
who were experiencing a lull in
demand.
Total of 1880.
William A. Miller said that last
July there were 1882 desks on
hand and 2,248 still to be de-
Ilivered. making a total Of 1880.
Since then, he said, Defense De-
lpartment needs for 1858 desks in
various parts Of the country have
been filled and % other agencies
have taken desks, for a total of
1884.
Among the % agencies, desks
have been acquired as follows;
Office Of Price Sterilization. 3l9;
General Accounting Office, ITS;
State Department, 100. and the
Interior Department, which has
set up several emergency agencies,
m. GSA sent 504 to its Chicago
branch for use by Federal agen-
IcieS in that area. and took over
I65 for its own use.
Last summer the desks piled UP
faster than had been anticipated
when the House Armed Services
Committee blocked the Defense
Departments leasing of Boston
House and State House, two Wash
ington apartments, for use as
Offices. The desks were stored in
about six warehouses, including
three former COW barns at the
Soldiers Home.

told a Senate committee at that
time, however. that the supply
would be depleted in three or four
months.

The demand for desks is now
being filled from inventory and
from new acquisitions in order to
maintain the figure at a normal
of about 5000 GSA said.

Two Legislations to Restore Citizenship
ToNisei ExpatriateS Go to President

In the past. only Nisei expatriates
who have regained citizenship
where the only factor was voting in
postwar elections. have done SO in
court cases.
Approximately 20 cases have been
brought In American courts by Nj
sci stranded in Japan with the out
break Of the war who lost their
American nationality because they
voted in postwar japanese elections.
Every case has resulted in restora-
ton Of citizenship.
Read today's "Main Street
column on this matter.)
Meanwhile, the JACL ADO Is
sponsoring a general legislation
which would permit Nisei expatri-
ates to regain citizenship by taking
the oath Of naturaliss ton.
The bill has been referred to the
Joint subcommittee studying omni-
bus immigration and naturaliza'
ton legislation.

Meanwhile, there has been little
effort in the Senate to schedule the

schedule formal vote for the bills.
However, as Washington ooserv-
ers have pointed out, there Is a
small, strong core Of opposition to

virtually no chance the policy COM
