MEMORANDUM FOR: The Director
The attached letter has been approved
in substance by Colonel White. Col. White
feels that the material in the Congressman's
remarks was obviously furnished by Roger
Fisher & Company. Joel Broyhill agrees.
Broyhill also feels that this should not
give us any concern, because no one ever
pays any attention to the "Extension of
Remarks" apart from the Congressional
Record anyway. I would propose to send a
copy of this letter to Broyhill.
Congressman Thompson is a Democrat
from New Jersey, and is a member of the

 effect of this trend, if allowed to con-
tinue, could be to turn Washington into
a ghost city.
Washington has been aptly character-
ized in a recent magazine article as "the
pride of every good American and in
reality the capital of the free world."
It is your city and mine. To most of us
in this Congress, its stately buildings and
leafy avenues symbolize a second home.
To millions of tourists its gleaming
monuments are reminders of our Nation's
glorious past. To visitors from other
parts of the world, Washington stands
as a constant symbol of liberty and free-
dom-and of hope that these priceless
attributes may someday be attained by
the enslaved millions of the world.
Yet today, the security of this, the
world's most important Capital City, is
threatened by an indiscriminate flight of
Federal agencies to the suburbs. Al-
though this threat is less dramatic than
that posed by the H-bomb and inter-
continental ballistic missile, it can, if
allowed to continue, have the same effect
over the long term.
You can find the problem outlined
in headlines of the day: "City of Wash-
ington in Trouble," U. S. News & World
Report, July 6, 1956; "United States
Agencies Join Rush to Suburbs," New
York Times, July 15, 1956; "Undermin-
ing the Capital," Washington Star, June
12, 1956; "Agencies Scored for Leaving
District of Columbia," Washington Post
and Times Herald.
I shall quote briefly from some of these
news stories and editorials. On July 15,
a New York Times story bearing a Wash-
ington dateline announced:
The largest Federal construction program
in years is underway with proposed and ap-
proved projects involving more than $400
million in the Washington area alone. And,
like many citizens of this town, more of
the Federal agencies are turning to the sub-
urbs for their new homes. ? * *
All this, agency officials will explain, Is
because it is Government policy to disperse
for defense reasons, there are few suitable
sites left in Washington, and the modern
buildings they want to build would run into
trouble with the Fine Arts Commission.
But there is suspicion among some Mem-
bers of Congress that agency officials, who
generally have had free rein in selecting
their sites, simply want "hunt country" to
work in with plenty of free parking space
and plenty of lawn.
The trend is causing some concern. Home-
owners in the countryside are complaining.
Businessmen in the city are protesting that
the trend could be disastrous to Washing-
ton's economy.
A similar

And in its lead editorial-for June 14,
the Washington Post and Times Herald
scored the "current confused relocation
policy" which bases final decision for
moving Federal agencies out of Wash-
ington on "the whims and preferences
of individual agency heads."
REASONS FOR CONCERN
There is ample reason for this grow-
ing concern. The city of Washington,
with its thousands of white-collar work-
ers, small-home owners and small-busi-
ness men, depends upon governmental
activities for its very existence. Fed-
eral Government in this area accounts
for nearly half of all employment. It
also sustains a host of small businesses
which exist to service Federal workers.
Directly or indirectly, Government
accounts for the bulk of Washington's
retail sales, rental payments and other
basic activities. We already see a spiral-
ing budget and falling revenues in the
city-both largely caused by a popula-
tion movement to the suburbs. We see
Congress forced to refuse desperate re-
quests from the District Commissioners
for increased funds. Take away the
operations of the Federal Government
and Congresss share of maintaining
our capital pity would increase to truly
astronomical proportions.
These budget requests point up the
disturbing fact that Washington is al-
ready in trouble. As the U. S. News &
World Report put it in the magazine's
lead article on July 6:
The visitor, captivated by the Capitol's
lovely panorama and awed by the power
that emanates from its portals, does not
see the layers of troubles-governmental,
social, financial-that are piling up to over-
burden the Nation's first city.
Yet these difficulties. exist. In large
part they are similar to the socioeco-
nomic headaches suffered by other major
cities. They include the familiar flight
to the suburbs on the part of city fami-
lies, the dwindling tax base, the traffic
congestion, the rapidly mounting finan-
cial burdens and so on.
Today, gentlemen, I could take you
only four blocks from where we sit in
this Chamber and show you some of the
worst slums in the Nation-houses with-
out running water, and whose residents
are forced to use outdoor toilets.
All of these problems are magnified
by Washington's lack of any vote or
true government of its own. They
would be far worse were it not for the
bolstering effect upon the local economy

The public generally (has) cause to be con-
cerned over what seems to be happening
to the original concept of Washington as
the Nation's seat of Government. That
time-honored concept is seriously threatened
by a movement in some Government circles
toward abandoning the District as a site of
Federal activities in favor of decentralized
locations in the suburbs and beyond.
Equally disturbing is the apparent lack of
a national policy governing so-called reloca-
tion. Heads of agencies have been given free
rein, as a rule, in choosing sites for their
new homes. It is all very haphazard, with
planning agencies often assigned to subordi-
nate roles.
?
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX
is agains
is background tuat a
growing number of agency heads are
deciding to relocate their departments
outside the District. At least six major
agencies are presently hoping to move.
They include:
The Central Intelligence Agency,
which plans to build a $56 million build-
ing near Langley, Va.
The Atomic Energy Commission,
which has started work on its new $10
million headquarters near Germantown,
Md.
The National Bureau of Standards,
which is planning a $40 million home
near Gaithersburg, Md.
A5729
The Weather Bureau and the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, which are plan-
ning a joint $31 million building near
Gaithersburg, Md.
The Geological Survey, which would
like to construct another building, cost-
ing $23 million somewhere on the Poto-
mac River in Maryland.
Still other agency officials are consid-
ering the possibilities of relocation. For
example, there has reportedly been se-
rious talk within the Navy Department
about moving to the Midwest.
How this will affect the Nation's Capi-
tal in loss of population is summarized in
the New York Times article from which
I quoted previously:
One estimate is that if all the proposals
for the Federal agency exodus were adopted,
some 50,000 residents of Washington would
move out. Washington over recent years has
lost a number of Federal employees to out-
lying areas, what with the Pentagon in Vir-
ginia and the National Institutes of Health
and the Census Bureau in Maryland.
Now, on the basis of the best estimates
available, it takes at least one person
to service each governmental employee in
Washington. Add to this the fact that,
according to Census officials, the average
Federal worker represents a family of
three. This means that, for each Fed-
eral employee affected by relocation, at
least four other individuals would be in-
directly affected. And if 50,000 em-
ployees moved out of Washington, as the
New York Times estimates they would,
200,000 people-or nearly one-third of
the total population-would feel the
consequences.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS

OF OREGON
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
Friday, July 20, 1956
Mr. NEUBERGER. Mr. President, Dr.
Harry L. Dillin, the distinguished presi-
dent of Linfleld College, in McMinnville,
Oreg., was recently honored by his elec-
tion in Seattle as president of the Ameri-
can Baptist Convention.
Dr. Dillin, the second westerner to be
honored by the American Baptist Con-
vention as its president in 50 years came
west to Oregon 25 years ago, and was
named president of Linfleld College in
1943 when he was 36, the youngest college
president in the United States.
Linfleld College, under the dynamic
leadership of Dr. Dillin, has grown rapid-
ly in size and prestige. Dr. Dillin has
been noted for his civic work as well as
his role as a college president, and has
also served for two years as president of
the Oregon Baptist Convention.
Also honored at the recent Seattle con-
vention was Earl White, a Portland at-
torney and member of the First Baptist
Church, who was named a commissioner
of the American Baptist Convention.

Mr. President, Dr. Dillin is the second
Oregonian within a year to be named
head of his church. Dr. Paul S. Wright,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church
of Portland, was elected moderator of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. A.
Mr. President, T. ask unanimous con-

the RECORD an excellent biographical
sketch of Dr. Harry L. Dillin by William
Hilliard, religious editor, from the Ore-

There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:

(By William Hillard)
A little man eminently capable of doing a
big job-that's Dr. Harry Leslie Dillin, dy-
namic president of Linfleld College and new
head of the American Baptist convention.
The 48-year-old college preident was elect-

weeks ago at the convention's annual session
in Seattle. He will be president for 1 year.

Under Dr. Dillin's leadership, Linfleld Col-

part in the building or renovation of all but
one of Linfield's 19 buildings. Two dormi-
tories are under construction and will be
ready for occupancy this fall. The school
supervises all of its construction work, in-
cluding awarding of contracts and buying of
all materials.
When the American Baptist Convention
elected Dr. Dillin, it reached out for a man
well trained in leadership. He is a member
of numerous organizations and has inevit-
ably assumed the leadership of almost every
one of them.
He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Pi
Gamma Mu and an associate member of Sig-
ma Psi.
In McMinnville he is a member of the
chamber of commerce and a past president
of the Rotary club. He was district No. 154

representing a membership of 1,500,000 in
approximately 6,500 churches in 34 States
and the District of Columbia.
He takes off Sunday for meetings in Chi-
cago and Greenlake, Wis., on the first round
of activity that will keep him constantly on
the go for a year.
At home will remain his wife, Irene, and
two children, Harry Leslie, Jr., 14., and Kath-
leen, 12. A third child, John, 20, is a sopho-
more at Trinity University in San Antonio,
Tex.
Dr. Dillin is the second Oregon man within
a year to be named head of his denomina-
tion. In 1955 Dr. Paul S. Wright, pastor of
First Presbyterian c:ourch, was elected mod-
erator of the general assembly of the Pres-
byterian Church, U. S. A.
COLLEGE POSTS HELD
In addition, Dr. Dillin has served as presi-
dent of the Association of Independent Col-
leges of Oregon and chairman of the Foun-
dation of Oregon Colleges and the Pacific
Northwest Athletic Conference. He also
serves on two commissions of the American
Association of Colleges and is chairman of
the board of directors of the newly created
Linfleld Research Institute.
Working with the American Baptist Con-
vention will be nothing new to him. He
served as president of the Oregon Baptist
Convention for 2 years and was elected last
year to a term on the general council of the
American Baptist Convention.
First hint of any move to nominate him
for president was heard by Dr. Dillin in 1955
at the convention's meeting in Atlantic City.
Dr. Dillin addressed the convention on edu-
cation. Following his speech, he was ap-
proached by some delegates who thought he
should consider the president's post. Dr.
Dillin didn't take them seriously then.
This year is a year of reorganization in the
convention and Dr. Dillin thinks this move
was instrumental in his promotion for the
presidency.
EDUCATION TO BE STRESSED
"I think the people who promoted me were
looking for men with a background in busi-
ness and organization," Dillin surmised.
"And, too, I believe the convention wanted
to highlight education as a means of stimu-
lating interest among church people to
strengthen colleges."
Dr. Dillin said the American Baptist con-
.vention is constructed loosely of a central
organization "very disorganized." Much em-
phasis is given individual interpretation of
the scriptures and local autonomy, he said.
Under Dr. Dillin, the convention will seek
to unify. At the Seattle meeting the first
step in this direction was taken when the
general council was upped from 36 to 42
members and the council was augmented
with the creation of a coordinating staff,
equally divided with laymen and clergymen.
In line with the reorganization program,
it will be Dr. Dillin's duty to name nine
people as commissioners to reevaluate and
to study the work of reorganization in the
convention and to report to the national
body at the 1957 meeting in Philadelphia.
The commissioners will make their final re-
port at the annual meeting in 1958 and at
that time recommend further steps to be
taken in the reorganization program.
One of the commissioners will be Earl
White, a Portland attorney and member of
First Baptist church (White temple).
The "go go go" president of Linfleld-or
"fireball" as he is sometimes called by his
hood, is only the second westerner to gain
the presidency in the 50-year history of the
convention.
Oddly enough, the only other westerner
was elected at the only other meeting in the
Pacific Northwest. Corwin Shank was named
head of the convention in 1924 in Seattle.
Dr. Dillin, who stands 5 feet 71/2 inches
tall is one of the youngest men to be named
president of the convention and only the
second college president to head the group.
Born in the east, he came West 25 years
ago to teach math and economics at Linfleld
for 1 year and to "see the cowboys and In-
dians." After a summer vacation in the
East, he wired the college to see if his job
was still open, found it was and has been at
Linfield since.
Dr. Dillin was graduated from Columbia
University, New York, cum laude in 1928.
He followed this with graduate work at the
University of North Carolina, where he had
been accepted for a teaching fellowship. He
also has done individual research work at
the Universities of London and Michigan.
He received an honorary doctor of law de-
gree from University of Redlands, Redlands,
Calif., in 1944 in recognition of his outstand-
ing and meritorious service in the field of
Christian education.
His rise to the presidency of Linfield was
comparatively swift. He was appointed pro-
fessor of economics in 1936 and 2 years later
he was made controller of the college. In
1941 he was made controller-business man-
ager.
SUCCESS COMES EARLY
When named president of the school in
1943, Dr. Dillin as only 36 and was declared
by the trustees who elected him to be the
youngest college president in the United
States. At the time he was named presi-
dent he was professor of mathematics and
economics, business manager-controller and
investment analyst.
In addition to his teaching duties he was
tennis and golf coach. His court teams won
more than 100 collegiate matches and for a
number of years he held the course record
for 9 holes at Riverwood golf course, dis-
rupting part with a sizzling 31-5 strokes
under par. Dr. Dilling recalls his coaching
days as "the great joys of my years."
Still athletically inclined but unable to
find the time for golf and slowed down too
much for tennis, Dr. Dillin has taken up
water skiing and spends his spare time at
the family's cottage at Devil's Lake practic-
ing his new-found sport love.

There being no objection, the article

TURNING POINTS
What makes a man successful? The ques-
tion has always defied glib answers and is
most profitably explored on an individual
basis. In most men's experience major deci-
sions translated into action have proved to
be at least turning points. Mr. Warren
Vierow has asked several major business
leaders to relate the personal decisions that
did the most to place them on the path to-
ward success.
Here is one of the answers:
L. F. Whittemore: "After returning from
World War I in 1919, I found an opportu-
nity to work for the New Hampshire State
Tax Commission as an accountant. In 1922
the chairman of that commission put me in

All of these things add up to make the
Miss Universe Court of Beauty a virtual
United Nations in itself, leading to more
complete understandings of the countries
which sent the girls.
While the public whistles and claps and
the girls develop friendships to return to
their homes, the universe spectacle takes on
another importance in the field of human
relationships.
It is the appreciation of womanhood it-
self.
Particularly in the Orient, and to a con-
siderable degree in Europe, women have
traditionally been accorded a secondary place
in society.
In the Far East, custom in many places
has it that women must walk behind their
men in public places and cannot own prop-
erty. In Europe, women have been taught
that their mission in life can be litle more
than home and children.
But, thanks In a large degree to the Miss
Universe Pageant, new advantages, acclaim
and appreciation of beauty is coming for
womanhood.
Japan, where even the most attractive and
brilliant girls traditionally were accorded
second place in the family, has entered a
contestant since the pageant started.
Its attractive entries have been hailed in
America and in Japan have won new respect
for womanhood as a means of national re-
spect.
India entered a beauty in the first Miss
"U" contest, but national religious feeling
prevented subsequent entries. However, the ?
controversy stirred up discussions relating
to improvements of the rights of women.
Similarly, Ceylon has been noted for its
attractive contestants but is not entering
this year because of. Buddhist religious in-
junctions. Former entries brought new ac-
claim for women in Ceylon; the injunction
caused serious discussion of women's rights.
In Iceland, tradition has acclaimed women
on their intellectual ability. The Miss "U"
a
p
geant has stirred thoughts of their physical
beauty and this year the nation is sending
a contestant.
The pageant has rightfully focused male
eyes on milady and knowing men are recog-
nizing that women, as well as being things
of beauty, can perform important tasks in the
field of science and industry.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. FRANK THOMPSON, JR.
OF NEW JERSEY
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, July 19, 1956
Mr. THOMPSON of New Jersey. Mr.
Speaker, I have been trying to discover
what the exodus from Washington to its
surrounding suburbs will mean to the
Nation's Capital in terms of lost pur-
chasing power and taxes.
I have introduced a measure, House
Joint Resolution 690, to preserve the eco-
nomic basis of the Nation's Capital by
establishing a basic policy and an orderly
procedure for the location of new Fed-
eral buildings in the metropolitan area
of the District of Columbia. The text
of this resolution is included at the con-
clusion of my remarks.
I am concerned with the consequences
of this thoughtless, unplanned exodus
to thousands of human beings-to small-
home owners forced to put their homes
on the block and relocate their fami-
lies-to hundreds of small-business men
faced with bankruptcy due to the loss of
customers-to thousands of white-collar
workers who, unwilling or financially
unable to relocate at the whim of agency
heads appointed by the President, would
be forced to give up jobs and would, per-
haps, become a drain on the local econ-
omy-and to churches, whose parish-
ioners would have to reestablish their
religious ties in other communities.
You would expect that, with much of
th
e fate and future of our Nation's Capi-
tal hanging in the balance, relocation of
F

Fantastic as it may seem, none of this
is true today. As the previously quoted
editorials indicate, Federal agency relo-
cation is currently being decided largely
on the basis of two factors-politics and
personal whim-with defense usually
quoted as the ostensible reason.
Now we all agree that civil defense
should have overriding consideration.
But the plain fact is that in these days
of the H-bomb and guided missile, much
of our defense thinking is as out of date
as the model T. Bear in mind that the
possible immediate fallout from an
H-bomb covers more than 200 miles,
and that varying amounts of demolition
are caused up to a radius of 20 miles.
I ask you gentlemen, how much protec-
tion can be afforded an agency by mov-
ing it across the Potomac and within a
few miles of the city? It seems to me
that our whole defense policy needs
clarification, and perhaps revision, in the
light of new developments in atomic
weapons.
When, for defense or other reasons,
an agency head decides he would like to
move his department out of the Capital,
certain types of clearances are theoret-
ically required. In securing approval to
relocate, agency officials are supposed to
contact the following authorities:
Bureau of the Budget and Congress,
on requested appropriations; General
Services Administration, on planning of
buildings and, occasionally, of the site;
National Capital Planning Commis-
sion-and, if the proposed move in-
volves the metropolitan area, National
Capital Regional Planning Council-on
planning aspects of the proposed relo-
cation; and Office of Defense Mobiliza-
tion, on civil defense phases.
PRESENT CLEARANCES INEFFsTXvE
But the sad fact is that these required
clearances are often ineffective. Many
agency officials are apparently unaware
that they even exist. Frequently, agen-
cies desiring to relocate omit steps in
the pattern or do not follow them in
logical order.
The city's two planning agencies-
National Capital Planning Commission
and National Capital Regional Planning
Council-Iack enforcement authority.
Therefore, they are all too frequently
regarded as merely a rubber-stamp
routine.

In a study of possible CIA sites made
by the two planning agencies at the re-
quest of CIA officials, more than 40 sites
were included-but the planners did not
even rank Langley in the first 20 possi-
bilities.
At least two District sites were con-
sidered far superior to Langley by the
planning agencies, but apparently
neither ever received serious considera-
tion by CIA officials.
One major consideration in CIA Di-
rector Allen Dulles' decision to relocate,
according to some reports, has been his
desire to provide his employees with a
"Princeton type" campus atmosphere.
However, the most interesting fact of
all concerns the manner in which final
approval for the Langley site was ob-
