This | sentiment has been shared by the undreds of thousands visitors from every State in the Union who jcome to Washington annually a {who are dicappointed in their first view of the Capitol from Union Sta ton because of the incongruity of the vista to the building. It was to mest this criticlsm and to provide a comprehensive scheme of uniform de velopment that can be carried out not fmmediately, but even nd which will harmonize and link in witt general plans of the public buildings and grounds committees and of the Fine Arts Commission for the Na. tonal Capital that the late Elliott Woods presented his plans to Con- projects in the m public life the The > direc E | api Josepl Cannon ors this | tin: -"‘ s i i ! g the the and to ex sut conve tha ired men high ernative provement designs for this are shown in charts artists’ drawings in the office {David Lynn, who succeeded Woods as architect of the Capitol Proposed Boulevards. { _One set of plans contemplate making Delawa enue northeast as a new | axis of parkway development between nd the Capitol, making Delaware avenue u wide bou levard. This plan shows a group of public buildings in a semicircle facing Unlon Station. It provides for the removal of street cars from the vista im nd Mr., providing a sunken garden effect he. tween C and D streets. with the street cars cireling a fountain there and go- nd several fine old masters|ing through a tunnel to the Capitol | grounds. Delaware avenue would be raised from D street to the Capitol. This, however, is not tfe plan development most favored. | popular plan is for using of The more North Capi- tol and South Capitol streets as the axis, because it is fearad that the de velopment of the Delaware avenue axis alone might have a tendency to subordinate the Capitol Building to the Unfon Station. By using North d South Capitol streets, which are the present north and south axis of |the Capitol. and which are the real {cardinal points of the compass axis. magnificent boulevard from toric Potomac River to the Soldiers’ Home can be developed. This boule- vard would be welcomes by those who wished to make a short cut from the river speeday to the Soldiers’ Home and Rock Creek Park. This proposed park development would have a width of about 1,600 feet at the Capitol and would fan out to about 2,500 feet at its greatest width to the north. On the south of the Capitol, however, it would widen out to more than 4,000 feet by the time it reached Washington Barracks Home for Supreme Court. For many yvears it has been felt that the Supreme Court of the United States should have a building of its own, and the land facing the Capitol grounds between First and Second strest and East Capitol street and Maryland avenue has long been looked upon as the proper site for such a structure. This is the square on which now are the Congressional Apartment House and the historic structure at the Maryland avenue cor- ner, now occupied by -the National Woman's Party, and which at one time was used as the Capitol. The voluminous report of the Public Bulldings Commission in 1917, after a comprehensive survey of the housing needs of the Government, pointed out that “it has long been considered prob- able that some day the court will re- quest a building of its own, which preferably should be located on the aquare facing the Capitol grounds, ad- jacent to that now occupied by the Library of Congress.” 1t has long, been the desire of t‘hto:e planning for the proper housing of the nment that all of the land north Libeary and esst W + botanical display which the of the Capitol from Union Station by | the his- | Included. he Capitol ds gro Le ac on this public wight and th snitable form _an avchi seiting nd the Capitol 11 be the culmination of the Jefferson Davis, expressed delate on th of the Ser visioning e erected t 15 1 oot ) Wili Report .

Planning for the new House Office Building brought into existence a new atlon in Washington to co- oper: in the erection of monumental | Government buildings. This is know.a s “The Alifed Architects of Wash- | {ington. D. C., Incorporated” and it | ludes the majority of the estah. liched Washington architects, all whomn are nbers of the American ! Institute Architects. It has co-| operated h the architect of thel Capitol and with the House Office | B ng Commission.

Tn no case is it proposed to close South Capitol street, which will be kept open in any event, because of its beautiful vista to the Potomac The argument advanced against the site west of South Capitol street is | that the members of the House do not |want their offices any further away than necessary. The committee rooms will all be in the present office building and they want to be as close as pos- sible. The House Office Building commis- sion will meet soon to consider the re- port of Architect Lynn. Representa tive Dickinson of lowa, chairman of the legislative subcommittee of the | House ~appropriations committee, is |aleo greatiy interested in this proposed |building. "It is probable that the | House will act soon. There is no question that congider- |able additional room is needed and that it is practically impossible for a | member to transact his duties in one small office room. Some of the mem. bers feel a little squeamish, just after having voted in the last Congress to raise their own pay, fearing that if they now vote themselves additional office space they may be subject to some criticism. However, they found that there was no kicking by their constituents over the salary increase and it is only good business for the House now to provide the needed [ office space. | . The new building will provide for | 265 two-room office suites. The exte. { rior will conform to the architecture | of the Capitol. the present House and | Senate office buildings and other build- |inge in the group controlied exclu | sively by Congress. The interfor will be of commercial office buflding con struction instead of the high ceilings |and wide corridors which have re. sulted in so great a loss of space in the old office building. On one of the proposed sites the cost for land and bullding is estimated at $7,000,000 and on the other $8,000,000. Botanic Garden Plans. One of the biggest features of the contemplated parkway from the Union Station, past_the Capitol Building to the Potomac River, is the relocation of the Botanic Garden in this area, be- tween the Washington Channel and the Anacostia River, between the Washington Navy Yard and the Army War College, and the building up of this garden. For many years there has been a determined effort to re- move the Botanic Garden from its present site on Pennsylvania avenue to the west of the Capitol. in order that the parkway plans of the Fine Arts Commission might be carried out.

The olive branch partially has been extended by the regular Republican nizations of both the Senate and » House to the insurgents who fol- lowed the late Senator La Follette of Wisconsin in his effort to win the presidency last year. Two years agc in the House, the insurgents prevent- ed the election of a Speaker and the organization of the House for several days, casting their votes for Repre- sentative Cooper of Wisconsin. In the end, however, there was a compromise land Speaker Gillett was elected. It remains 1o be seen whether in surgents will this year support Mr Longwaorth, the selection of the Re- publican caucus, or again cast their votes for Mr. Cooper or some other Progressive.

While the Sherrill report will dis- cuss several proposed locations, it will lean heavily toward relocating the Botanic Gardens gouth of the Capitol. | Two vears ago a joint resolution was put through transferring to the Bo- tanic Garden certain strips of land jalong the bed of the old James Creek Canal, south of the Capitol, to the river. Another bill has been consid ered for giving the Botanlc Garden the land between First and Third and B and D streets. Still more recently George W. Hess, director of the Botanic Garden, has urged that the site between First and Second streets and B street and Maine avenue be acquired for a big conserva- tory, where a_permanent exhibition could be made that would be educative to all the visitors to the Capitol. This is said to have the support of the Commission on Fine Arts. The site is now occupied by a gasoline sta- tion, a baker and a church One of the most far-reaching bills presented in recent years to COngress for Capital development came from the House committee on public build ings and grounmds for acquisition of all the Jand south of the Capitol be- tween B street and First street southwest and First street southeast, then flaring out between Delaware avenue southwest and New Jersey avenue southeast, clear through the Washington Barracks, Buzzards Point and the United States navy vard. This_measure will be considered by the House committee on public build- ings end grounds. It has long been contemplated that there should be some such parkway development south of the Capitol to provide a cut north through the parkway system from the river-front drive.

INDIANANS TO HOLD THREE TRUST POSTS to President, President and of Senate From Hoosier State. Secretaries Vice | By the Associated Prese. With the election this week of | Edwin P. Thayer of Indianapolis as | Secretary of the Senate, Indianans will hold places as secretaries to the President, the Vice President and the Senate. Everett Sanders of Terre Haute is secretary to Mr. Coolidge, and E. Ross Bartley of Lafayette is secretary to Vice President Dawes. Mr. Thayer was nominated yester- day by Senate Republicans and the nomination is equivalent to election. He was without opposition in the con- ference, former Senator L. Heialer Ball of Delaware having withdrawn from the contest. The Senate has been without a sec- retary since the death some months ago of George A. Sanderson. Mr. Thayer. who served as a colonel in the Spanish-American War, was sponsored for the place by Semator Watson of Indiana. He is widely known in both Indiana and national politics, having served as sergeant-at-arms of several Republican National Conven- tions. g DISCUSS APPOINTMENTS.

The tax-reduction bill will be dis- posed pf in the House before Christ- mas, 1} Is predicted. and sent to the Senate, where it probably will the sub- | foct 0f more lengthy debate. Already the House ways and means committee has whipped the bill into shape, the Democrats aiding the Republicans in this work. The bill will be introduced tomor- row and reported back immediately. General debate on the measure is slated to begin Tuesday, and to con tinue throughout this week Court Approval Seen. Supporters of the World Court in- siet they will be able to muster the necessary two-thirds vote in the Sen- ate for the ratification of the protocol proposing _adhesion of the ~United States to the court, with the so-called Harding-Hughes-Coolidge reservations designed to prevent the United States from becoming involved in the affairs of the League of Nations. Under a unanimous consent agree- ment entered until last March, the Senate will take up the protocol for consideration December 17. Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee, will lead the fight to compel the absolute severance of the World Court from the League of Nations Before this country enters it. He will be jotned by reral of the other old “irreconcilables” who fought the proposed entry of the United States into the League of Nations dur- ing the Wilson administration. The opponents of the World Court pro- posal, it is said, wil do all in their power to prevent a vote on the protocol until after the tax bill has been received by the Senate, hoping to postpone action further by sub- stituting the tax bill for the protocol as the unfinished business of the BSenate. Debt Pacts Approval Seen. ‘While some opposition is expected to the ratification of the war debt settlements with Belglum and Italy, on the ground that they are more favorable to those nations than the settlement made with Great Britain, it is these settlements will be ratified. The members of the American Debt Commission expect to be able to convince the Congress that these settloments represent the ut- most capacity of the nations to pay these debts. The negotiation of the war debts will be hailed by the supporters of the administration as an accomplisment of great merit. The farm legislation at the coming present | Vice President Dawes.

Shipping Issue to Come Up. An effort will be made in Congress to follow out the recommendations of the President that the operation of the Government.owned merchant ma rine be transferred by law to the Emergency Fleet Corporation, under one head. responsible to the Presi dent, instead of to the Shipping Board. This will be resisted by those mem bers who believe that the present method of control should be retained. The- Senate commerce committee {it 13 expected. will take up without {delay a bill which will be introduced by Senator Bingham of Connecticut dealing with commerctal aviation and | providing for the appointment of a W amsistant cecretary of commerce, to have charge of mviaton matters under that department. The hill wiil be similar to a bill which has been twice passed before by the Senate, except that it provides for a new as sistant secretarv.
