GOULD LINCOLN. lation, the settlement of the French debt and a half dozen other mattérs of major importance have thrust themselves into the pic ture just at a time when members of Congress were preparing to pack up and go back home to fight for their political 1iv Ot course, Congress could through the remaining appropriation bills and clear out of Wasmpzton by the middle « . This has been the desire of many. But the juestion now is whether many of th> members of the House and the Senate who raust stand for re-election would be, or could be, reelected if such a course were adopted The House is about :) tickle farm relief legisiation. The opinion ex pressed vesterday was that it would take the House the beitar part of two weeks to dispose of this matter, ‘The Nenate is inclined to wait and see what the House does before it under s to tinker with the farm situa There are those in both the Senate and House who believe —and some of them hope—rhe House will find itself unable to reach an agree- ment cn any farm bill. It that were the case, then some of the Senators arzue, it would be futile for the S atc ndertake consideration own a relief bills Farm leg! jam ion. Haugen Bill Comes Up First. indicate Haugen from the llouse that tk supporters of the bill. with its $375,000.000 revolving fund to aid in the marketing of the surplus staple crops, have strength enough to prevent the passage of the Tincher bill, with its $100,000,000 fund 10 be loaned farm co-operatives for the same purpose—the bill which has been represented the utmost to which the administration will agree. Under the present plan the bill is to come before the House fi for consideration. After it has perfected in committee of the whole, Mr. Tincher of Kansas will have opportunity to offer his bill as a sub stitute for the Haugen bill. and Rep- resentative Aswell of Louisiana will have the same privilege with his bill known as the Curtis-Aswell bill. By a combination of the members from the Middle West. the West and the South, the Haugen bill, it is be lieved. commands greater strength in the House today than the other two measures. It remains to be seen if it can emerge from the House in such shape asx will be satisfactory to its own supporters—including the Ameri arean Federation and arm and co-operative organiz Reports as Long Fight in Prospect. If the Haugen bill comes to the Senate from the House, the effort of fts friends will be to substitute it for the bill now on the Senate calndar. And the effort of its opponents will be to prevent this. or at least to so amend the Haugen bill that it will not bhe objectionable to the I'resident. It looks like a long ilght over farm legislation from any point of view. There is a growinz dispositin to act on the French debt scttlament be- fore the adjournment of this session of Congress. Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the finance committee, n- sists that it should be passed hefore Congress goes away. Repriseatative Burton of Ohio is expecied to inty duce a bill ratifying the settlement to- morrow. The House ways and means committee. will consider the measure during the coming week. The question will come 1up as to whether the House should take up the Lill hefove it is acted on by the French Parliament The French Chamber of of Deputies is not to meet again until the last of | May. But even so there will be ample time for the House to tuke the bill up after the French have passed cn the settlement, it was pointed out. In the Senate there has ready tcen strong opposition manifested toward this settiement, and’ there are indi- cations it will lead to much debate. But Senator Smoot is confident that the bill will be passed by a substantial majority once it is taken up in the Senate. English Case Comes Up. The case of Judge George W. Eng lish, Federal district judge in Tllinois, against whom impeachment procecd ings have been ordered by the House. is to come briefly before the Senate at 12:30 o'clock tomorrow. Judge Eng- «h will be present before the Senate, sitting as a court. to ask{for time to make a reply to the Hodse charges hrought against him. The proceed- ings tomerrow are expecied to take but a short time. Afier Judge Eng lish shall have replied to the charges the on the part of the House will make their replication and n a time will be set to try him. There has been a suggestion that the Senate would allow this trial to go over until next Fall. hut there iy stronz opposition td this course. on the ground that an important case of this kind chould be disposed of promptly. The lezislative program of the Sen. ate Republican steering committee, outside of these important matters, is extensive. The public buildings bill is #till the unfinished business of the Semate. and there have been indica- tions that unless it be amended there would be n longed fight against measure by some of the Demo- tic Senators. The indications were t night, however, that with the ac- eptance of an amendment by Senator Swanson of Vi nd possibly one by Senator Har of M the bill will be. allowed to pass. amendments proposed would specify that when the estimates.are made for inclusion in an ation bill they must be specific as to sites and build- ings and the limit of cost of the con tracts for sites and buildings. Lengthy Program Awaits. After the public buildings bill shall have been disposed of. the next measure on the program is the Wat son-Parker railroad labor bill, which aiready has passed the House. It does away with the present railroad lahor board and sets up a new ma- chiner; for the adjustment of rail- road iabor disputes. This is to be followed by the McFadden branch bank bill. Then come in the follow- ing order these bills: A bill to increase the efficiency of the air service of the Army. farm relief legislation, a migatory bird bill, the so-called truth in fabric bill, a bill to refund the indebtedness of certain rallroads and 1o reduce the rate of interest charged, pension bills, a bill to liberalize the civil service retirement law, and a to the French spoiliation a tidy_program, and if it ed out, will keep Congress in session here until July and perhaps longer. Some of these bills may fail of action, and some probably will fail. Outside this program are proposed coal and railroad consolidation bill, both important matters. The Senate committee on education and labor is about ready to repurt a coal bill, basad on the Copeland bill. The House interstate and foreign com- ! Quartet, and FRANK P. REESIDE. FRANK P.

Development of the National Capl- tal and its environs, the metropolitan districts in the adjacent States of Maryland and Virginia, under a co- ordinated scheme will be the function of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, the organiza- tlon of which is authorized in the law which was signed by President Cool idge on Friday.

He said that the commission will not hold an organization meeting until the President had named the four advisory city planners, and it is not known now just when this will be done. Two Names Mentioned. ren public the only two names have been heard in connection with these ap pointments. The law provides for the appointment of “four eminent citi zens well qualified and experienced in city planning. one of whom shall be a hona fide resident of the District of Columbia.” 1t is now believed one of the National City planners will be Frederiek H #n eminent city planner and one who So far is theroughly familiar with the plans for the development of the Capital v. having done much work on the McMillan plan of 1901, now being fol- lowed in spirit, if not in the letter, in “he development For the loeal representative on the commission the name of Frederic A Delano has been mentioned promi neritly in connection with the candi dates, and there is a strong belief that he will be appointed. Mr. De lano is president of the American Civie_ Federation and fs chdirman of the Commitiee of One Hundred on the Kederal City. The principal purpose of the new Iaw, aside from adding the city plan- ners as advisers to the commission. wan to provide for the co-operation bhetween the twn adjoining States, so that the developmens there may he ordinated to the end that they will ow in orderly fashion, in accordance with well lald plane developed by city planners who will seek to avold the mistakes in other eity developments. Mieh preliminary work already has been done in this connection and the citizens and’ officials, as well ‘a8 the civic bodles of, the adjacent territories, have been ‘active in promoting ths regional development, with a full real- izatlon that the planning now will re sult in there growing into being later one of the finest reglonal develoy ments of any city in the country or in the world when compared to world capitals. No Salary Limit Set. In addition to the appointment of the advisory experts, the measure provides for the appointment of a director of planning, who would be an employe of the commission. -and other expert city planners, such as engineers, architects and landscape architec As the measure does not restrict their payment to the sched- ule under the classification act, the commission will be given wide scope in fixing salares so as to get the best talent in the country for this purpose. The commission will seek to pre- serve the flow of water in Rock Creek, to prevent pollution of Rock Creek and the Potomac and Ana- costia rivers, to preserve forests and natural scenery in and about Wash- ington, and to provide for the com- prehensive, systematic and continu- ous development of the park, park- vay, and playground systems of the National Capital and its environs. The plans are to include recom- mendations to the proper executive authorities as to traffic and trans- portation; plats and subdivisions highways, parks and parkways school and libra sites;: play- grounds: drainage, sewerage and water supply; housing, building, and zoning. regulations; bridges and wa- ter fronts; commercé and industry, and other proper elements of city and regional planning. Commission Is Advisory. The commission is purely avisory and,there is no requirement that the District government, for instance. shall comply with any plans laid down. The bill as origjnally intro- duced provided that it shall be the duty of each member of the commis- sfon to adhere in principle to the of- ficial plan of the commissfon, but this was stricken out in its passage through the legisiative mill. There was opposition on the part of the District of Columbia authorities on this, but the point was conceded in ordeér to get the measure passed providing for the planning commis- sion with a corps of experts, and this particular matter of requiring ad- herence to the plan was left for future consideration, and, it was sald, probably would be made the subject of future legislation at the next Congress. The present membership of the National Capital Park Commission is automatically made a part of the membership of the new commission. THe former was composed of the chief of engineers of the United States Army, the Engineer Commis- sioner of the District of Columbia. the director of the Natlonal Park Service, the chief of the Forest probably | that | Olmsted of Boston.!| vlans | | 1 | | VETERANS PRASE MEMORIAL PLA | Members of Peary Ship 427 Contribute Money and Effort in Drive. to raise A zorous campaign funds the proposed District of Columl World War Memorial in Potomac Park has been launched by Admiral Robhert Peary Ship, No. .

Mr. Robertson pointed out that the members, not satisfied merely with the formal appropriation from the treasury of the “ship.” had agreed to take an active Interest in the ef- forts to raise the money needed by canvassing the members of the body for individual subscriptions The memorial movement, the letter declaved, “is @ source of keen grati- fication to all ex-service men, and has their “heartfelt gratitude.’ We are fustituting a v campaign among our membership fo individual subscriptions, and I campaign, we believe, will meet with the response the undertaking so richly deserves.” The letter of Admir Peary Ship is typical of the spi enthusiasm being displayed among other veterans and civie organizations of the city, it is pointed out. Praise By Pershing.-: The attitude held generally is simi- lar to that of Gen. John J. Pershing, as expressed In his letter of commen- dation to the memorial commission re- cently. “I am glad that the citizens of the District are erecting the memorial here rather than on the battiefields of Europe,” Gen. Pershing said. ‘The usefulness to the community of the Doric temple makes a tremendous ap- peal to me, and 1 welcome the oppoi tunity to express my hearty i, proval of its artistic design. All_subscriptions for the temple should be sent to the District of Co- lumbia Memorial Commision, Frank B. Noyes, chalrman. Checks should be made payable to John Pools, I'ederal- American Natlonal Bank. rous Service, the director of public build- ings and public parks of the National Capital, and the chairman of the District of Columbia committees of lthe House and Senate. In addition to making the director of public build- inge and public parks of the National Capital a member of the commission, he also is made the executive and dis- bursing officer of the commission. The commission will continue to expend the funds allotted each year for the purchase of lands for parks and playground purposes, in addi- tion to doing the planning for the reglonal district. So far it has con- fined its purchases to the D Columbia because of the urgency buying prospective’ park sites here before they are destroyed for park purposes by the progress of building, but as soon as this scheme is com- pleted then it will step across the borders and begin the purchase of lands in Maryland and Virginia necessary for park purposes and to prevent the pollution of the streams running through the District. Nec sarily, before this is done there will have to be considerable investigation done in the nearby territories to determine the best locations for parks and watersheds and these will be worked out hefore the commission gets sufficient funds with which to purchase thems this | l PART T Abov Engla er Larsen (chief officer), Carratti, and P sen, Ramm (third from left), and Omdal.
