URGES RETIREMENT BILL CONFERENCE Representative Lehlbach C€onfers With Stanfield on Session to Reconcile Differences. an Lehlbach of the House ce committee expects late s afternoon to ask unanimous con sent that the House send the so-called liberalized civil ervice retirement bill to conference. 4 Mr. Lehlbach conferved today with Senator Stanfield, author of the meas- ire which has passed the Senate, car- rying a maximum annuity of $1.200, with @ 4 per cent contributions from their regular salary by employes, as | against the $1,000 maximum, 1, per cent contribution by employes, proposed in the Budget Bureau bill passed by the House. the maximum annuity to §1,080, with | a 4 per cent contribution by employes, are objected to by House members on the ground that this would be bhut a scant improvement for those super- annuated employes who are retiring. to the Federal Government consid- erably in excess of the $30,000 which |the Government would have under the Budget Bureau bill. | Some Senators suggest lowering the | retivement ages so as to absorb this | saving.

Denies Theory Borne Out. “It was heralded to the country that the theory (of Senator Norris) was proved by my memoranda,” Mr. Culbertson added. “The public was led to believe I had made a back- door handout to a Senator to prove the theory. My memoranda advanced an entirely different theory. “No one apparently noted the fact that [ stated in the memoranda that the President desired to be free to make appointments after the election (of 1924) and that he desired to use the appointment for trading purposes if the Democrats attempted to hold up other appointments.” Declaring he was summoned from Rumania solely to prove Senator Nor- ris’ theory, Mr. Culbertson declared that when he failed to do so” he was attacked.

WORK ON ESTIMATES. District Departmental Heads. Pre- paring for Next Budget. Heads of the various departments of the District Government began preparation today of their annual es- timates for the budget for the fiscal | year of 1927-1928. Daniel J. Donovan, District auditor, has requested that the estimates be completed and submitted to him not later than June.l. Soon ‘ter begin the the Commissioners will process of pruning to keep the budget from conflicting with the President’s financial program. el el PRESENT SN SES 00 BIL Public Buildings Measure Provides $10,000,000 Yearly for Washington. President Coolidge today signed the public buildings bill, creating a five- Yyear program for the erection of build- ings to house the Federal Government in the District of Columbla and other parts of the United States and author- izing an appropriation of $165,000,000. Of this total amount, $560,000,000 is to be expended for the erection of Government buildings in this city. Ac- cording to the program $10,000,000 is to be spent annually in this city and $20,000,000 for buildings outside of the Distriet of Columbia. This is the first general bl bulldings bill ana(‘ted‘ by .Col"l’:‘r:: since 1913 and, although it did not entirely fit in with the President’s economy program and desire to re- 2 | AVAAAAAAAAAAN DOORS trench the Government expenses, was convinced that the expenditure is necessary to furnish more adequate quarters for the increased activities of the Federal Government. The term “pork barrel” which has been gen- erally applied to the public buildings | bill has been dropped in this instance inasmuch as the so-called “pork bar- rel” feature has been entirely elimi- | nated. The Secretary of the Treasury, under the terms of this law, will se- lect the site and design and erect the buildings and in the cases where there are buildings for the Post Office De- partment he will be assisted in this by the Postmaster General. The new buildings for the Govern- ment to be erected in this city are not to be merely places to house the many thousands of clerks. but will be handsome in architecture and will compare in beauty and in practicabil ity with the finest Government bulld- ings throughout the world. These buildings for the greater part will be confined to that section known as the Mall, south of Pennsylvania avenue and east of Fifteenth street, property alreadv owned by the Government. Among the buildings to be first con- sidered are an archives building, in- ternal revenue, State Department. Commerce Department, Labor Depart- ment and Department of Justice. The designs of these buildings are to be approved by the Fine Arts Commis- sion. Announces for Wednesday, 9:15, Another From 10:15 to 11:15 A.M.

Plant. The “cider war" launched by Capt. Guy E. Burlingame, in charge of the police dry law enforcement squad, yesterday resulted in a visit to the plant of the Terminal Cold Storage and Ice Co., Eleventh and E streets southwest, where samples were taken from 700 barrels of supposed hard cider. Analysis of samples of an original seizure, it is reported, showed the beverage contained 5.29 per cent al- cohol. Samples taken yesterday were turned over to a Treasury Depart- ment chemist today for analysis. Yesterday the police arrested Saul Gordon, 34 years, 800 Sixth street southwest, for transportation of four barrels of the cider alleged to have an-alcoholic content in excess of the one-half of one per cent permitted under the Volstead act. Drive Made Two Years Ago. More than two years ago a crusade against the sale and possession of hard cider resulted in many arrests and seizures and, it is stated, a num- ber of owners of so-called near-beer establishments ceased handling the beverage. At that time, it is stated, police in- vestigation showed that much intox- ication had resulted from the drinking of hard cider, while in many instances it was learned that purchasers “spiked” their beverage with corn or other whisky. Capt. Burlingame and his squad yesterday made five other arrests and seized large quantities of liquor.
