Officials Recall Loss
OF Agency Efficiency
In Decentralization
By Froneis p DouoIos


Arguments that there can be 8
wholesale transfer of Government
activities from Washington with
out loss of efficiency do not jibt
with the. experience of some off,
cials. = =
In some quarters, decentraliza-
ton is not new.s There were
agencies, or parts OF agencies, with
about 10000 employees moved tc
other cities during World War II
The testimony Of some officials
connected with those transferred
organizations, has been that ii
was more difficult to operate away
from Washington for variety
Of reasons.
In contrast to that wartime
decentralization which, in most
cases, was understood in advance
to be temporary-the removal OF
Federal activities planned now
would be permanent. The decen-
tralization bill passed by the Sen
ate and now before the House
would remove activities with 50,-
600 employees to other cities. II
would permit the creation of moi
more than $4,000 new jobs here
Hardship on REA.
One of the agencies transferred
in 1912 was the Rural Electrifica-
ton Administration, which went
to st. Louis. Administrator
Claude r. Wickard has said it
was almost impossible to keep the
staff there informed of what was
being done in Washington affect
ing the agency.
He said the organization must
deal here with Congress, the
Budget Bureau, various emer-
gency agencies that control ma
terials needed by the power and
telephone co-operativeS to which
the REA lends money, with the
Treasury in connection with those
loans, and with the General Ac-
counting Office.
Patent Once Shifted.
Another agency affected by the
1912 move was the Patent Office
More than half of its staff was
transferred to Richmond. Critics
of that move have pointed to the
number of patent applications
that accumulated without action
taken on them as demonstrating
the difficulties of carrying on the
work then.
One of the drawbacks to work.
ing elsewhere, cited by patent
examiners, was the inability to
consult libraries of the various
departments here in connection
with their duties.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission was another of the
agencies that went through a war
time transfer. Richard B. Nc
Intyre, an SEC commissioner, has
said operations are more efficient
here. and described the constant
flow of work between the SEC and
other agencies.
Discussions of decentralization
usually get around to the Ten
nessee Valley Authority as an ex-
ample of an agency that works
well away from Washington. Pri-
marily. however, its work is in
the Tennessee Valley. 1t main

Jenner and Watkins
BY the Associated Press

Senator McCarran, Democrat.
of Nevada. yesterday praised Re-
publican Senators Jenner of In
diana and Watkins of Utah for
their service as members of the
Senate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee.
The Nevadan, who heads the
subcommittee, said. in a state
ment issued through his Office
here, that the two Republicans.
as well as. all other members Of
the group, have "given a full
measure of devotion to this Ma
tion's security and welfare"
Both Senators Jenner and Wat
kins are running for reelection
this year. The Democrats figure
they have a good chance to un-
seat both Senator Jenner, in par
ticular, has come under heavy
fire from Democratic national
campaigners for his attacks on
Gen. George c. Marshall.
Senator McCarran has had diff
ferences with the Truman admin
istration, and his name also has
come into the national campaign.
President Truman said in a recent
statement that Senator McCarran
"is not my kind of Democrat"
Several weeks ago, Senator Nc
Carran announced he supports
Democratic Presidential Nominee
Adlai Stevenson. Gov. Stevenson
sent him a note of appreciation.

Horse Player Admits
Embezz|inq S45,000
BY the Assoeiutsd Press

KINGMAN. Ariz.. Aug. "a
Sheriff Frank L. Porter said today
that Charles Nesbit Smith. "a, Of
Detroit, arrested here on an en-
bezzling charge. blamed playing
the races" for his financial plight.
Smith is charged with taking
more than $45,000 from the Van
Dyke branch Of the National Bank
of Detroit, where he was en-
ployed.
Sheriff Porter said Smith ad-
mitted after his arrest Saturday
that he embezzled the money. The
sheriff and four deputies. tipped
of by the FBI, stopped Smith at
a road block on U. s. Highway
66 one mile east Of here.
"He told me he had to have
money because he had gambled on
horses" Sheriff Porter said. "He
confessed that was the reason he
did it,"
Held under $1,000 bond, the
one-time Air Force lieutenant has
waived removal.
He was customer relations
man for the National Bank of
Detroit at the time the embezzle-
ment allegedly took place.
