Always On

Many Go to Swank 'Bar or Cafeteria; And There's the Corridors for Long Walks

By ROGER STUART Serippa-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Mar, 8 Every day is parade day at the Federal Security Agency. : More than 10,000 of FSA's nearly 35,000 employees are located in Washington, and most of them spend a good

share of their time walking

mural-decorated building on Independence Ave.

Any day you can see them marching by the scores—

from office to snack bar to

rest room to, cafeteria. At any hour you'll find them riding up and down escalators and elevators, standing in little groups on

every floor, talking, holding hands, and walking, walking, walking.

The first room I inspected was on ‘the main floor, Above the grilled window looking out on the wide osreidor was a sign that Six em-

the lengthy corridors of the

first floor. At 2:30 p. m., I saw, several employees enter and take seats. Presently others began to! arrive. Some of them sat down, while others clustered in the side, es to talk. The minutes ticked away, and| nothing’ happened, save the arrival of dozens more employees. At 3:10 I decided to inquire what! it was all about. ! “There’s supposed to be a lecture,’ a young woman explained! stifling a yawn. i

and women entering the dining room. Young men and girls held hands as they sauntered toward the cafeteria. Dozens of individuals emerged from the room carrying dishes of ice cream and cups of soft drinks. Outside, little groups of chatting employees clustered in the hallways.

Oné of the largest single work-| ing sections in the FSA is located on the main floor. A sort of lofttype enclosure, it is equipped with scores of desks, filing cabinets and tables. A sign at the door | reads: “Rooms 1307-1331; 10031045.” |

But I also saw: One man, with hands clasped | behind his head and his feet on his desktop, who remained in that pose during the six minutes I was there. A group of three men surround-| ing one desk, laughing and talk-/ ing. ; i Two girls standing beside a file cabinet, chatting. A man and woman walking slowly along three sides of the

section, turning, walking back again, then repeating the performance. {

Scores of paraders, going in all directions. No one seemed in a hurry to get any-| where, except for one young fel-| low who came along a hall push-! ing a metal cart upon which were stacks of mail. He'd pause before an office, pick up an envelope, de-| liver it, then continue his rounds to the next office. There's an auditorium on the]
