nue.. He said it was particularly
urgent" that a decision for new
Navy space be made in view of
the vast new public building
program authorized by Congress
this year, which calls for razing
all of Washington'S inefficient
eyesore" tempos.
The New Mexico Democrat
said he thought Congress had
mo generally preferred position"
as to whether Federal agencies
occupy buildings through new
construction or the leasing OF
suitable space in privately owned
buildings"
AS proof of this" he noted
that Congress last year author
lied the Government to enter
flve-year instead of one-yeai
leases with private building own.

leaders undoubtedly would make
a strong demand for such legis-
lation if shorter work week
were granted other groups.
In his opinion Mr.. Brownell
said he felt that Congress in set
ting a 40-hour work week for
classified employees did not in
tend that this necessity apply
to employees whose wages are
fixed by their agencies instead Of
by Congress.
Mr.. Brownell's opinion was
sent to President Eisenhower and
forwarded by Mr.. Eisenhower to
the Public Printer. Mr.. Blatten-

the President asking that a JUS

Navy Secretary Thomas has
been urged by leading members
Iof Congress to give most seri-
GUS consideration" to leasing
space for the Navy in a huge
office building-bus terminal pro-
posed to be built by private in

Secretary Thomas, it was

of conferences and letter ex-
changes about the project with

Mr.. Thomas this week, said il

He added. pointedly:
II do not believe it is necessary
for me to re-emphasize that. il
my opinion, Congress would MOI
look with favor on any program
/, which involved bodily moving
your department out of Wash
lIington."
The letter noted that the bul

Navy employees here, was dis

caused lasting damage to United
States prestige-and "milked the
American people of some half
million dollars" in the process.
The House Committee on Un-
American Activities said fraud
was the hallmark" of campaigns
that whipped up protests against
the death sentences imposed on
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for
conspiring to transmit atomic
weapon secrets to Russia.
Some Records Destroyed
The committees 137-page re-
port was published yesterday.
Because many records have been
destroyed, the report said. it is
impossible to find out how much
Iof the money collected for the
Rosenberg campaigns may have
gone into the Golfers of the Com
munist Party. But it added that
bookkeeping methods like those
of the National Rosenberg Com
mittee would bring even the
smallest capitalist businessman
into disrepute-if not jail"
The campaigns that started
after the Rosenbergs' conviction
in 1851 did extensive and last
ing" damage to United States
prestige, the committee con-
Icluded.
1t said United States agencies
never countered the waves of
anti-American propaganda based
on the Rosenberg case. Such
propaganda was produced in
many languages and circulated
in quantities up to 10000 for
single items in Japan and
France, the committee said.
Out Circulated U. S. Pamphlets
At the same time, a specially
prepared State Department
pamphlet had a circulation of
500 in France and a translation
of another work on the case
WAS distributed in a 6,00O-copy
edition in Japan. the committee
said.

tions, provide funds. members

mist campaign to capture Ameri-

URBANA, Ill, Jan. l9 (R.-
Pension fund trustees were &C
cused yesterday of ignoring in
Isured investments which could
bring more than $3.50 million in
extra benefits each year to ben
!eflciaries.
The assertion was made by
William J. Levitt. president of

Pa. one Of the Nations major
home building firms.
He contended that a channel
ing of new private pension funds
into Government insured VA

spell success for IAN annual

million housing units which must
be constructed annually for at
least the next 10 years"
He told the annual meeting

there is no other means to in
crease financing for the building
program, except to use pension
funds.
