- The Washington Notebook
BY PETER EDSON
! NEA Washingion Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—Washington is a crazy
place—in case you hadn’t heard.
On the one hand, here is the Congress going
through all the motions of trying to reduce the
number of government employes.
And on the other hand, here is the General Serv
fces Administration (GSA), which is the govern
ment’s housekeeper, doing its darndest to try to find
more office space and more records storage space
to nreet demands of the rapidly expanding defense
agencies.
They say they need nearly 2,000,000 square feet
of additional floor space for the 18,460 new em
ployes they intend to hire in the next fiscal year.
This is for the Washington area alone.
If that much floor space doesn’'t mean anything
to you, it's roughly equivalent to one third of an
other Pentagon. Or, it’s the equivalent of two
seven-gtory office buildings a block long and a
block wide.
The government now figures it needs 100 square
feet of floor space for every new bureaucrat and
hireling. A couple of years ago there were 110 feet
available, Today the crowded Pentagon is down to
an 87-square-feet-per-employe basis.
Defense Production Administration, National Pro
ductiion Authority, Office of Price Stabilization and
Wage Stabilization Board need over half a million
square feet of space for 5,000 new employes to be
added in the next year. ; '
EXPANDING INTIRIOR
Interior needs 34,000 square feet for 340 new de
fense activity employes. Commerce needs 200,000
square feet of storage space. Atomic Energy Com
mission needs 20,000 square feet for 200 more em
ployes. Department of State, which already occu
pies a main building, three former aphrtment
houses and 20 other anpexes, still needs room for
319 new emploves in its information and education
programs,
Biggest demand of all, however, is for a million
square feet of space for 10,000 new employes in
Department of Defense. There are now 31,000 peo
ple in the Pentagon. Armed services offices slop
over into 45 other buildings where there are 34,000
employes.
When the Pentagon ordzred 10,000 desks for the
10,200 new employes it expects to hire next year,
there was no place to store the furniture. General
Services Administration advertised for two million
square feet of warehouse for this and other records
storage space within 15 miles of the District of Co
lumbia. It got 38 offers but none was acceptable.
All wanted governiment loans and tax amortization
(speedy tax write-off) to finance the construction
of new buildings. .
Every plan to solve the government's space
problem by dispersal has thus far been stymied. A
proposal to build eight new buildings at a cost of
$197 mililon, to take care of 20,000 employes within
20 miles of Washington, was killed by the Senate.
A GSA plan to lease two new 300-unit apartment
houses for Department of Defepse was killed by
House Armed Services Committee. But one new
160-unity apartment has been taken over for Civil
Defense Administration.
SOME PROPOSALS
Two bills just introduced in Congress may offer
some hope for relieving the space situation. One is
a proposal by GSA Administrator Jess Larson, pre
sented to the Senate by Senator John L. McClellan
n.t Arkansas, to move 50,000 government jobs out
of Washington within the next two yecrs. This is
intended to decentralize government offices all over
the country, instead of wrying to disperse them
around Washington.
The second is a proposal by Rep. James Trimble
of Arkansas. it would permit the'government to
acquire space just as a private home-owner now
buys his house on the installment plan. Private
capital would build the offices to government spe
cifications. The government would lease for 15 to
25 years, at the end of which time it would be given
title.
At present the government owns 29 million square
feet of space in Washington. This includes four
World War I and 49 World War II temporary build
ings with six nrillion square feet of space and 31,000
employes. Under the M<Clellan bill, all the “tem
pos” would have to be torn down.
The government now rents 2,600,000 square feet
of space in Washington, for which it pays $2,900,-
000 a year rent. During World War 11, the govern
ment leased 7,000,000 square feet of space for which
it paid $6,000,000 a year rent. These government
rentals have advanced from a little under 85 cents a
foot to nearly sl.lO today.
We must not alternately arm and disarm with
every seeming change in Kremlin policy. The real
Russian policy never changes.—Governor Thomas
E. Dewey.
' What is the relative value of the life of a Chi
nese to that of an American? I rate the American’s
dife a lot higher than some people in Washington
&9 —Lt. General Leslie R. Groves.

Strong Foundation Must Be

Built For UMT Program
1t took a long, long time, but at last we are on the
road to achieving Universal Military Training. Al
though some 18%%-year-olds (and some parents)
may disagree, that is the most important news in
the new mranpower draft bill just signed by Presi
dent Truman. :
To be sure, a lot has to happen before UMT be- |
comes an actuality. |
First off, a five-member National Security Train
ing Committee will have to get tc work and spelli
out the details of operation. The committee has to
make its report to Congress some time within the
next four months, and it has to have the endorse
ment of the Secretary of Defense.
After that, the Armed Services Conmittees of
each house will have 45 more days to mull over the
details. Then comes the debate on the floor. As has
happened before, of course, the argument could go
on forever witkout getting anywhere. But Senator
Russell, chairman of the Armed Services Commit
tee, promises action will be speedy once the sup
porting legislation needed for UMT is ready.
There is one other hitch. Even after the law is
passed, UMT will not go into operation until the
President or Congress decides it is no longer neces- l
sary to draft men under 19 to keep our authorized
armed strength. The experts in Washington seem to i
think this means UMT will take a back seat until
the Korean war is over, an observation which could |
nrean anything, since nobody knows what the next
move in Korea will be.
Nevertheless, it is an historic step. Now that
nearly everybody seems to agree we ought to have
UMT, it makes sound sense that we build the foun
dations for it carefully. : |
The administration began urging it back in 1946.
The American Legion says it has been urging UMT
ever since the end of World War I. And Secretary
of Defense Marshall goes back much farther. “The
objective of a universally shared obligation for the
defense of our country,” he points out, “is now with- |
in our grasp for the first time since George Wash- |
ington began the pursuit of this goal a century and
a half ago.”
Whether it took five years, 32 or 150, another five
months or so does not really matter. UMT seems
destined to be part of American life for quile a
while, |
The important thing now is to put UMT together
in such fashion, to quote General Marshall again,
that “it will permit us thereafter to continue strong
militarily in keeping with our great purpose of pro
moiing peace in the world.”
Barkley Is Wary
Vice President Alben W. Barkley came back on
the job wearing dark glasses, following his eye op
eration. Photographers immediately pounced on him
and asked him to pose. The Veep refused.
“If those pictures ever got out,” he cracked, “peo
ple would say, ‘There’'s that blind vice president,
Where's his tin cup'?”
One of the Vice President’s first official duties on
return was to extend honors to George Benjamin,
Arkansas farmer, for his work on soil conservation.
The man was accompanied by his nine-year-old son.
“What’s your name, young man?” said the Veep.
“George,” said the boy.
“That’s a good name,” commented the Vice Presi
dent. “A good common name. I wish I'd been named
something like that. I was named for my grand
father, Alben. It's a good name, but people mis
spell it so much. They write to me as Albin, Allen,
and sometimes as A. Barkley. Who wants to be just
A. Barkley?” :
Marshall Plays Hookey
Comring back from Xorea, Defense Secretary
George Marshall left Tokyo on a Monday. Next day,
when he got to Alaska, it was still Monday, by rea
son of crossing the international date line going east.
So, with an extra day that didn’t have to be ac
counted for, the Secretary and his party went fish
ing for an afternoon near Neknak, Alaska.
General Marshall wouldn’t tell what he caught.
But Major General Antheny C. McAuliffe, the
Army’s new G-1, or general staff officer in charge
of personnel, who went with Marshall, let the fish
out of the bag. He said the Secretary got three or
four little ones. Genera] McAuliffe himself didn’t
get any. ’
One of the strangest aftermaths of World War II
cropped up the other day in Poland, where a Ger
man soldier finally got out of an underground
warehouse in which he had been sealed for six
years. He was blind, but still alive. Maybe when he
gets his sight back again and sees what it is like
behind the iron curtain, he will wish he had stayed
in the hole.
~ When the government levels its great powers
against the citizen it should be held to the same
standards of fair dealing as we prescribe for other
legal contests. To let the government adopt . . . les
ser standards as suits the convenience of its offi
cers is to start down the totalitarian path.—William
O. Douglas, Supreme court justice.
Le us pray ... that the vast range of modern
knowledge . . . may be turned from destruction to
peaceful ends, so that all peoples . .. may be lifted
to greater happiness.—King George, of Britain,
