Amvets Moving 10 Gel
More Office Space

The American Veterans Of
World War II said today their
purchase of a new headquarters
building at ITO Rhode Island
avenue NV. was based on the
need for space and not by an an
ticipated rent increase at their
present quarters, as indicated a
week ago.
The Amvets newspaper. the Ma
tional Amvet, carried a story say
ing the group was leaving the
Victor Building, 724 Ninth street
NV. because of an expected so
per cent rent increase. The move
is to be made around April l.
The management of the Victor
Building said that no increase had
been asked Of the Amvets and no
increase was anticipated.
The management said there
was no available space in the Vic
tor Building to meet the Amvets
need for expansion.
David Schlothauer, executive di-
rector Of the Amvets, said it was
unfortunate that the story sent
to newspapers stated that a rent
increase had been requested. ~~
Mr.. Schlothauer said the Am
vets regretted that wrong i'm

Southern Maine felt the brunt of

Robinson 10 Confer
With Association on
Island Bridge Plan

Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson said today he will in
vite officials of the Roosevelt
Memorial Association to'meet with
him in the controversy over the
proposed E street bridge.
The association has protested
the Highway Departments pro-
posal to build the bridge over
Theodore Roosevelt Island. The
island was given to the Govern
ment by the association in 1882
for park use.
Gen. Robinson told a reporter
a new Potomac bridge is needed
in that vicinity and added that
there doesn't appear to, be any
alternative" to the Roosevelt
Island location.
He conceded, however, that the
association can block the bridge
under present law, which makes
any plans for the island subject
to association approved.
Won't Go to Congress.
Asked whether Congress might
be asked to alter the law, the
general said he was "not pre-
pared to go to- Congress-" at this
time. "a
Maj. Gen. Frank r. Mccoy, me-
mortal association president. in a
letter to Gen. Robinson pointed
out that the association had
bought the island "at very sub
stantial cost" and given 1t to the
Nation specifically for a nature
sanctuary. A bridge would pre-
vent it's development for this pur-
pose, he said.
Gen. Mccoy also raised the
legal point, calling the proposal
a violation of existing law"
Explains Aim of Plan.
The association head explained
that the essence" of his groups
plan is to create in the midst
of the noise and confusion Of the
Nations Capital an island Of
solitude and natural beauty where
men may find lost values and
perspectives, an area similar to
the primeval Potomac forest,
which should, in the course of
the generations, take on the
majestic character of the great
est monuments created by the
hand of man."
At the time Of the presentation
the District Commissioners were
in "full accord" with the project,
Gen. Mccoy said. The associa-
tons purchase forestalled con-
struction of a gas plant there. he

Treasury Says Rules
On Ex-EmpIoyes Are
|Stricfer Than Laws

The Treasury Department has
issued an explanation of its rules
for permitting or forbidding for
mer employees to represent clients
in tax cases.
It's rules, says the Treasury, are
stricter than the laws.
The question of an ex-employe
Ipracticing before the Treasury
cropped up last week when Sen
ator Williams, Republican, of Del
aware, reported that Joseph D.
Nunan. jr., former Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner, was given spe-
Icial permission to represent an
Indianapolis brewery and other
clients in tax cases.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
thereafter said consents were
granted to Mr.. Nunan to repre-
sent the brewery and eight other
firms in tax cases shortly after
he quit his bureau post in 1947.
Explanation Issued.
In an explanatory statement
issued over the week end, the
Treasury said Federal laws pro-
hibit a former employe for two
years following his employment
from prosecuting a claim against
the Government which was pend
ing while he was employed.
"A claim against the United
States is demand that the Gov
eminent pay money" the state
ment continued. Most tax con-
troversies are not claims against
the United States. They are the
opposite. They are claims by the
Government that the taxpayer
owes money. No statute prohibits
a former employe from acting as
attorney for a taxpayer against
whom the Government makes q
demand for additional tax"
I Treasury regulations, however,
60 further, 1t was explained. These
regulations bar former employe
from representing a taxpayer in
any case if he worked on that case
for tie Government, regardless of
how long he has been out of Gov
|ernment service and whether the
case is claim by the Government
or against It.
Rules Described.
Treasury rules, the statement
added. also require a former en-
ploye during the two years after
his employment to apply for con-
sent to represent a taxpayer in
any matter which was pending
while he was employed. In the
application. the former employe
must show that his representation
would not violate any statute or
rule.
TheI application, the aexplana-
ton went on, is then checked
against the official records and
consent follows as a matter Of
course f the application and the
investigation show no violation
would result.
"The granting of consent is in
no sense a waiver of anything, +"
the statement concluded. 1.-THE
requirement that consent be OBJ
tained is merely a method of po-
Icing the prohibitions Of the laws
and Treasury rules" s..''~--

$1,000 Crowd Armory
To Hear Billy Graham
Preach Final Sermon

An estimated $4,000 persons
crowded into the National Guard
Armory yesterday afternoon to
hear Evangelist Billy Graham
preach the final sermon of his
tve-weeks revival crusade here.
Officials said it probably was the
largest crowd in the Armory's
history.
Under a special fire regulations
ruling of the Commissioners, a
maximum Of approximately 8.400
persons had been permitted to
attend the meetings each night.
However, Sergt. Guy M. Snow,
third deputy fire marshal, said
yesterday his orders called for
occupancy of this number of seats,
but after that the matter was to
be Mr.. Graham's responsibility, at
his own request.
Sergt. Snow and crusade officials
concurred in estimating the at
tendance.
Moved From Outdoors.
The final meeting had been
switched to the Armory from its
originally scheduled site on the
Washington Monument Grounds
because of threatening weather.
On learning just before the
meeting started that about 1000
persons could not get in. Mr..
Graham went outside and
preached a short sermon to those
there.
Last nights crowd brought the
total attendance for the 81 meet
ings to 100000 it was announced.
It also was announced that 462
persons came forward to make
their professions of faith after
Yesterdays meeting. This brought
the full total for the 81 meetings
to 6,115, including 400 children.
Speaks on Washington.
For his final sermon Mr..
Graham chose as his topic: "The
Faith of George Washington" ="
in commemoration of Washing
tons Birthday on Friday.
Mr.. Graham pointed out that
George Washington first official
act was to offer my fervent
supplicatior1s to that Almighty
Being Who rules over the universe,
Who presides in the Councils OF
the Nations, and Whose provi-
dental aids can supply every hu-
man defeat"
Mr.. Graham said that Wash
ington, who beset by trials or
difficulties over which he had no
control, often had recourse to
prayer. particularly at Valley
Forge.
Mr.. Graham likened the Ma
tion's troubles to ship without
a pilot.
g. Dropped Our Pilot"
I'VE are directing the ship of
state unassisted by God, past the
reefs and through the storms Of
time,r'. he declared. sWe have
dropped our pilot, the Lord Jesus
Christ, and are sailing blindly on
without Divine chart or compass,
hoping somehow to find our de-
sired haven"
Mr.. Graham will go to Alex
andriat Va. on Sunday, March 2,
and hold a revival meeting there.
On March 8 he will sail for Europe
to preach and discuss prospects
of later meeting there.
The final meeting was broad
cast over WMAL, The Stars ra-
dio station.

matters. also would give job secu-
rity rights to employees hired in
the future.
The program would give tempo
rary indefinite employees who have
passed civil service exams in order
to get their jobs a probationary
indefinite status. Future employees
selected from civil service regis
ters also would get this probation
airy indefinite status.
Then, when the time comes for
the Government to convert back
once again to peacetime hiring
basis. these employees would be
given permanent status. And dur
ing the interim period, they would
be given job retention rights over
those temporary indefinite en-
ployes who did not pass a civil
service exam in order to get their
jobs. incidentally. this last group
of employees would be given the
opportunity to secure probation
ary indefinite status in the future
when civil service exams are given
for their type of jobs.
The council approved the basic
portions of the commissions pro-
gram. However, there are some
loose ends that must be settled
before the program can be put
into effect. Council members said
they expect the final version to
be ready in three to four weeks.
Civil service officials said the
entire program should be ready
to go into effect throughout Gov
eminent in no more than 80 days.
Still to be decided is whether
employees converted to probation
ary indefinite appointments
should be brought under the civil
service retirement system or left
under social security. All tenn
porary indefinite WORKERS are now
under social security. The senti-
ment appears in favor of bringing
these employees under civil service
retirement.
=. PENSIONS-At least one of the
three Civil Service Commissioners
isn't completely in accord with
the commissions report to Con-
gress fatty opposing any increase
in annuities. He is James
Mitchell, the Republican member,
who feels that an increase is justi-
fed if Congress votes the neces-
sary funds.
STENOS-More than 10000 Fed
eral employees are in positions that
require a knowledge of stenog-
raphy, the Civil Service Commits
sion reports. More than $4,000
were classified as stenographers
and 10000 as secretaries. They
comprise about 8 per cent Of the

|sonnel Council. the booklet points
out that the person who is a
"whiz" at his job isn't necessarily
the one who is best equipped to be
supervisor Of the group.
"The practice Of promoting the
best workers to supervisory posi-
tions has proved to be disastrous
in many instances" the pamphlet
says. "The experience OF both pri-
vate business and Government has
demonstrated that. in many super
visory positions. technical skill is
less important than the ability to
lead employees"
In many instances, skill in
human relations. ability to train.
and potentiality of growth are
more valuable to a supervisor than
technical skill. the commission S
booklet declared.
The following basic principles
of good supervision are listed.
They are: Each employe shall be
treated as an individual and re-
garded as worthy Of respect and
consideration"
Each employe shall be in
structed in the objectives sof his
work, his specific duties. the con-
tribution he makes to the total
work product, why he is important
in the organization, and what is
considered . good days pro-
duction.
"The supervisor shall select best
qualified employees for promotion,
within or outside his organization,
as soon as opportunity arises and
proved ability justifies. He shall
help employees to overcome their
deficiencies and shall remove in
efficient employees who do not i'm

Disfranchised D. T..
Aids Red Propaganda,
Nicely Tells Pythians

Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committee said last night
the lack of a vote for Washington
citizens is worth more as a propa-
ganda weapon to Russia than
100000 soldiers.
The West Virginia Democrat
spoke before more than 200 men,
bers of the Knights of Pythias,
gathered at a founders day ban
quet in the Willard Hotel. The
order was established SO years
ago.
Senator Nicely said 1t does not
make sense in the eyes of Joseph
Stain for the United States to
fight for self government for the
Koreans when the people of
Washington are "shamefully dis
franchised."
Cites Tax PAYMENTS
He pointed out that the vote
less District pays more taxes than
one-fourth of the individual
States, and also that there are
more people here than the COM
bined populations of the four
smallest States. In spite of this,
he said, these States have elected
representatives in Congress, but
the District has none.
Senator Nicely complimented the
Knights of Pythias. He declared
that. historically, the Knights of
Pythias was born of the Every
necessities" that now were max
ing it necessary for this country
to spend sums of money on the
defense program.
HonOrs Brotherhood.
The order is dedicated to the
principles of brotherhood and
friendship. as exemplified in the
story of Damon and Pythias. The
