Decentralization
Gains Advocates

2. Decentralization of gov
eminent, which has always
been urged by some, is claim
ing an increasing number of
advocates. The need for insur-
ing continuous Federal func-
tioning in circumstances re-
Sulting from modern and poten-
tial future weapons develop
ment have given great impetus
to such proposals in high quar-
tiers. Federal planners now con-
tend that essential agencies
must be "un-concentrated" in
the District or, in Government
Technology. dispersed" to re-
duce Washington's attractive
ness and vulnerability as a tar
get. We think the trend in
augurated with the construc-
ton of the Pentagon will con-
tinue with the development Of
still more Federal agencies out
side the District of Columbia
and that the number of Fed
eral workers employed inside
the District will not increase
and will very probably de-
crease. Moreover it apears that
agencies located in Maryland
and Virginia in the future will
be more distant from down.
town Washington than those
now trimming the city.
While we seriously question
the advisability of moving
headquarters type federal
functions to distant points as
proposed by the "decentraliZ-
ers' We recognize their efforts
may meet with some success.
Difficult problems will result
from any decentralization,

The Board of Trade in EN-
barking upon its campaign for
metropolitan Development for
Washington today cited the
reason this program is needed
in these words:
Present business conditions
accentuate the need for re-
search. planning and vigorous
action to bolster the economy
of the Washington area.
Briefly stated the following
conditions and trends lead to
this conclusion.
/. Until the World War II
huild-up and excepting the
World War I period, Washing
ton area employment since
1900 was between 3 and 4 nom
Government workers to each
Government employee. In 1945
the Post War Planning Com
mittee of the Washington
Board Of Trade forecast that
the then abnormal ratio of
about IL non-government to
/ government worker would
widen to about 2.5 to / a few
years after wars end.
That wholesome ratio has
not been attained. Figures for
September. 1858, show it to be
1875 to l.
The members of this COM
mittee judge this high proper
ton of Government employ
ment overwhelmingly FederaD
to jeopardize business stability,
hence the areas basic econ
omy. Reduced volumes in
many lines stemming from the
elimination of more than 90
900 Federal jobs during 1858
and accompanying hypochon-
drial attitudes point up the
dangers of over-reliance on
one industry which are &C
knowledged by leaders in every
other American urban commu-
nifty. Despite recognition by
the committee that the United
States Government can hardly
be likened to an industry" in
the generally accepted mean
ing of the term. Federal per-
sonnet actions during the past
year and reports respecting
them in the future clearly
spotlight probable community
hardship from further Federal
budget cuts and or a reduc-
ton of Federal functions at the
Nations Capital. While eX-
perience since 1900 empha-
sizes the relative stability of
Federal employment, notes
the steady increase in the size
of the Federal establishment
and in many ways testif1es to
the prosperity engendered here
in the Federal City, there are
disturbing portents of at least
temporary deviation from the
satisfying nattern of the mast.

Nation. We have failed miser-
ably to maintain that strong
ready military reserve in which
we have believed for $50 years
Nov, at long last. we must
build such a reserve. And we
must maintain it. Wishful think
ing and political timidity must NO
longer bar program so abso-
lutely essential to our defense.
"One point about this needs
special emphasis:
This reserve will not unfairly
burden men who have already
served. This administration will
see to that.
Establishment of an ade-
quate reserve-an objective for
which the American Legion and
other patriotic organizations
have vainly fought for a genera
tion-will be a No. item sub
mitted to the Congress next
year."
Although Gen. Eisenhower did
not go into details about how
the reserve plan would operate,
the National Security Council
already has approved the broad
outlines of comprehensive re-
serve program. It now is con-

Gen. Eisenhower's emphasis
today on Free World co-opera-
ton seemed aimed at least partly
at isolationist elements in the
American Legion.
ITO follow the path of isola-
ton would surrender most OF
the free world to Communist
despotism and ultimately for
felt our own security" Gen
Eisenhower said.
The President said that If each
member of the free world "pur.
sues only its own course toward
its own ends, the Communists
have unlimited opportunity te
turn the full force of their power
upon any selected victim"
Each, beginning with the
weakest and most exposed, might
then succumb in turn until the
strongest of all-ourselves-
would be left alone to face q
hostile world" Gen. Eisenhower
said.

full to contemplate. We shall
never permit it to happen"

moral and material potential
must be armored with adequate
military strength"
Mr.. Cough said this country
must take stock of a "perilous
position" resulting from drift
and hope" policy of some United
States allies in the cold war.
This means we must realistically
put the punch of force behind our
will for peace" he said.
Mr.. Cough said there is no
doubt the Legion will continue
to oppose admission "of the
blood-stained regime of Red
China" into the United Nations.
Now, he said, Legionnaires must
ask: Should not the u. N. be
reorganized without Russia

regime?"
