. 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.

Washington, Feb. 7 U.R)
Congress is always hollering
about bureaucracy and now is
about to try to do something
about it.
Sen. Harry F. 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.
