Washington, Feb. 7 OJ.R) The war department reported to day that a survey of army men ahowed that the great majority of them plan to return to their former homes after the war to embark on their postwar careers. The survey showed that eight out of every 10 white enlisted men in the army expect to re turn to the same state In which they lived before the war, the department said. Negroes For Change Negro enlisted personnel, however, tend to have somewhat more migratory intentions. Only about two-thirds of the Negroes expect to go back to the same states in which they lived in civilian life. About half of the white men who plan to move expect to go to the far west. Among Negroes, the main stream of migration will be from the south to the northeast. The survey said that if these and other shifts mater ialize, the Pacific coast can ex pect about '250,000 veterans aft er the war. ; An exodus of some size from the agricultural south and the western part of the north cen tral farm section is indicated, the survey showed. The industrialized northeast, on the other hand, will get some migrants, although on a much smaller scale than the west coast, while the mountain states are expected to break even.

" BYRD AND BUTLER BILL TO REVISE PLAN DESCRIBED San Francisco, Feb. 7 -flJ.R) Col. K. M. Moore of the San Francisco district of the army engineers corps, today described to an eight-man interim commit tee of the state legislature the proposed diversion of the course of the Klamath river into the Sacramento river basin. The project, currently being surveyed by the army engineers, would divert the Klamath river above the Pacific Gas & Elec tric company's Pit River power plant sending It into the Sacra mento basin. The present course of the river carries it into the sea above Eureka. Col. Moore said the survey was undertaken at the request of the national resources plan ning board, headed by Franklin A. Delano, an uncle of the pres ident. The study will cover all phases of the project's effect on the involved regions, including flood control, irrigation, naviga tion, forest conservation, changes in land use, power and fish and wild life programs, the colonel said.

Byrd, D., Va.. and Sen. Hugh Butler, R., Neb., have jointly introduced a bill en titled the "government corpora tion Control Act." The dispute about former Vice President Henry A. Wallace's capacity to administer the Reconstruction Fi nance Corp. led indirectly to its Introduction. Byrd and Butler looked into the government corporation sit uation in general and discovered that RFC was one of many. Their bill lists 42 wholly owned government corporations and three groups of partly-owned government corporations, some or all of which have been oper ating outside the immediate fi nancial control of congress. Except for the initial grant of fund or borrowing or lending authority and a kick-off delega tion of powers, these corpora tions for the most part operate on' their own. Some of them do business in figures which dwarf the operations of such private operations as General Motors. American Telephone and Tele graph or the DuPonts. The RFC, for instance, has authorized it self or through subsidiary cor porations about $32,300,000,000 tw in direct commitments for war purposes. The RFC is fairly well known to the public and there has been no challenge to the carefulness of its management. But congress evidently is in a mood to have an accounting from all govern ment corporate interests. , There probably is not a mem ber of congress who could say off hand what is being done by cargoes, inc., a government cor poration, 'or the United States Commercial Company, Prencln radio, Inc., the Intra-American Educational Foundation, Inc. to name a few of the more obscure.
