In many other ways it is assisting the war program. “In addition to constantly fur- nishing crack power engineers to various war agencies, the REA is operating and building many power plants for Army, Navy and Ma- rine camps, and war industries. Also the two agencies are among the most outstanding New Deal achievements, created only after long and bitter battles that made political and legislative history in the 1930's. Time and again the President has proudly acclaimed {the SEC and REA as two of the greatest reforms of his adminis tration, Yet, under an order cooked up by undercover pro-utility elements in the Budget Bureau, SEC ani REA will be moved kit and ka- hundreds of . miles away from Washington. ‘While their utility lobby foes will have free rein to snipe atthem on Capitol hill, and while the War and Navy Departments, OPM and other war agencies will be serious- ly hampered in obtaining the valu- |able services of SEC and REA, they will be stuck far away in make- | shift offices. Tens of millions of dollars are being expended to build temporarv | office buildings all ovey Washing- ton and the nearby countryside. |Also there are some permanent |agencies, like the Agricultural Ex- | tension Division, which should never have been located in the Capital to begin with and which are occu- pying huge buildings. Yet, despite all this, the pro- utility Budget bureaucrats could find no other way to obtain office space than to oust SEC and REA from their very modest quarters. It looks awfully funny and all signs indicate there is more o the affair than appears on the surface. NOTE: The Budget Bureau's or- der directed SEC to move to Phil- adelphia and REA to St. Louis. The agencies assumed the Budget Bu- reau had inquired in both cities and that they had available adequate office space. But when SEC and REA investigated, they discovered this was not the case and have had to find their own locations.
