T. Lincoln Townsend, treasurer of the league and a member of the Republican State committee, in making these an- nouncements, told also of the tenta- tive plans for the conduct of the cam- paign in Washington, especially as it Telates to getting out the many thou- sands of so-called State voters tempo- rarily resident here.

BUILDINGS (-iROUfi | TO DRAW PROGRAM | FOR EDIFICES HERE | (Continued from First Page.) pore as is contemplated In this new act. Besides Chairman Smoot the mem- bers of this commission are Senator Swanson of Virginia, Representative lanham of Texas, Representative El- liott of Indiana; David Lynn. architect of the Capitol; James A. Wetmore, =upervising architect of the Treasury, and Maj. U S. Grant, 3d, officer in charge of public buildings and public parks. The last-named is the execu- tive officer of the commission. ‘Will Study Plan Tomorrow. According to Senator ‘Smoot the commission is undetermined as yet as to the program it will follow in the District. Despite reports to the con- trary the commission has made no de- cisions as to what buildings it will vlace in this city. Naturally enough the commission has a fairly well formed idea of what it is going to do, but a definite plan is yet to be worked out. This plan will be started when the committee gathers tomorrow. It is doubtful if any decision is reached as to any individual bulldings for some time. Senator Smoot, in explaining this, sald today that there are many angles to the subject to be studled, and there is no occasion for unneces- me thing certain, and that 1s that the new bulldings to be erect- ed are to be architecturally beautiful as well as adequate in size and practl- cal for the use to which they are to be put. It is not their intention to erect just mere buildings to relieve the overcrowded condition of the Gov- ernment. They are to produce build ings that will be monuments for all time, and which the commission and (Congress want to compare favorably with the finest offered by the capitals of the world. Besides building structures of this pe the commission will devote much attention to their sites and to the ap- proaches and surroundings. With the exception o a site to be house for the Government, all of the! ouildings for the District under the ! new law are to located south of Penn- yivania avenue and west of Mary- | land avenue. It is specifically stated | in the law that no new buildings are to be erected north of Pennsylvania | avenue, and, furtbermore, that all office buildings in the future should., | s nearly as is possible, harmonie | { with the original L’Enfant plan. Chairman Smoet was quite positive |in saying the commission has made | ne decisions as to the buildigs it will erect here. or which ones will be | constructed first and second amd so | o It is understood, however, that | during preliminary considerations of | the subject prier to the enactment of the new law the commission prepared + tentative list including the follow ing: An archives bullding. bulldings for the Department of Justice, De partment of Commerce, Department of Labor and the Department of Agri- culture: buildings for branches of the Treasury Department. including the Internal revenue, general accounting office and other bureaus under this department. Warehouse May Be Flrst. 1t also is generally understood that the commission’s first move will be 10 dispose of some of the minor bulld- inzs before reaching a decision as to the major ones. It is thought that the storage warehouse for the Gov- ernment will be one of the first to be started. The site for this has not been determined, but the aim of the commission is to locate it so as to serve the most practical purpose and to not interfere with the general scheme of beautification to be rol- lowed in carrying out the remainder of the project. ‘There is some reasen also Lo believe that the first major buildins to be decided upon will be the vne to be known as the Archives. Building, which will house the valuable docu ments and papers of the National Government. It is expected that this commission will be advised by the heads of the departments regarding *he planning of the new department buildings. The United States Fine Arts Commission will act in an advisorv capacity also. The recommendations for the ap- propriation for the buildings h after they bave been planned by the commission are to finally be made by the Secretary of the Treasury. Postmaster General to Ald. In carrying into effect the provi- sions of the new act, in so far as it relates to buildings outside the District, the selection of sites and the planning and designing actual construction will be done under the personal supervision of the Secre- tary of the Treasury. This officer, however, will act jointly with the Postmaster General in the selectlon of towns and cities in which bufld- ings for the postal service are to be erected as well as the selection of individual sites. The plan under the new law is for the Secretary of the Treasury to submit annually, and from time to time as _may be required, estimates to the Budget Bureau, showing, in detail, the varfous amounts it is proposed to expend during the fiscal vear for which estimates are sub- mitted. The law directs the Secre- tary of the Treasury, in submitting these estimates, to allocate the amounts proposed to be expended in the different States, where bulld- ings are found by him to be nec- essary, in such a manner as to dis- tribute the amounts to be expended fairly on a _basis of area, population and postal receipts. To doubly “make sure that the distribution of buildings is to be as equable as is possible, Congress has stipulated in the act that at least one building shall be estimated annually for each tate having a office with re- ipts of more than $10,000 annual- lv during the last preceding year for which no new public building has besn provided. The program calls for a five-year period. but it is anticipated that it will more nearly cover a six-year period than five vears. It is specified, too, that in carrying out this program not more than $25,000.000 is to be ex- pended annually. Of this amount $10,000,000 will be for buildings in Washington and the remaining $15,- 000,000 in other sections of the coun- tr Will Build Belated Structures. It will be the aim of the Secretary of the Treasury in carrying out the project to dispose of the bulildings previously authorized but not appro- priated for as soon as possible. There is to be spent $15,000,000 for this pur- pose, and of the amount to be expend- ed upon buildings outside of the Dis- trict at least 60 per cent is to be de- voted to the erection of these previ- ously authorized buildings. At this rate these belated buildings will be cleared up within three years. This extensive building program provides also for more than the erec- tion of new buildings. Under the terms of the law the Secretary of the Treasury is empowered to repair or remodel buildings already being used by the Government.

HUNGARY CHARGES HEATED ARMS RACE ( EXISTS IN EUROPE _(Continued from First Page) a particular whether it Justify its claim for quantity of armaments, be naval, land or air. In going over the list of questions on which expert advice is sought the drafting committee held that it i: impracticable at present to limit th Gltimate war strength of countries, but affirmed that it Is possible to limit land, sea and alr forces perma- nently maintained in peace time or capable of jmmediate use without preliminary mobllization measures. As a help to the experts in deter- mining methods for reduction of ar- maments, the committee suggested making reductions in the larger peace time units, or of their estab- lishment cr equipment, or reduction of any forces that can be immediate- ly mobilized. It also suggested cut- ting down the length of active serv- Ice and reducing stocks of munitions. ‘The experts are asked to consider whether regional milltary, naval and alr agreements can ge regarded as n important step toward general dis- armament. Some of the delegates view this question as paving’the way to separate naval accords, which, how- ever would be linked up with the league's general disarmament effort. Gas Question Tackled. In connection with the move defi- nitely to abandon poison gas warfare, the committee requested the experts to consider what effective penalties could be proposed for enforcement of undertakings not to resort to gas and bacteria warfare. A representative of Greece last night joined other European states in saying that reduction of arma- ments must hinge on security. Al- luding to the absence of Russia, this spokeaman insisted that disarmament must be general. He declared he was in favor of the French project for sirengthening the operation of the league covenant to prevent war and recommending that when a state com- mits an over act all alliances with the offending state should be declared null and vold. POISON GAS DEFENDED. Senator Wadsworth Says Treaty to Ban It Is Futile. The Geneva poison gas convention was opposed before the Senate foreign relations committes today by Chair- man Wadsworth of the Senate mili- tary committee, who sald it could not be enforced because warring nations would not abide by it. “Any weapon of conflict which caused 30 per cent of the casualties of the World War would not be lakd down by any country driven to defend its life by war,” the Senator declared. “The nations will use their available weapons as long as they are effective in the desperate hours of war regard- lesa of treatles. '‘As to the humanitarian side, all weapons are cruel that maim and Incapacitate. The explosive shell maims terribly and its effectiveness upon the viotims is permanent. “Twenty five per cent of all the men hit by bullets or sheil fragments in the late war died and a large proportion of the survivors will have to go through life maimed. “‘By contrast only 2 or 3 per cent of those gassed died and a very small per cent of the survivors were maimed or incapacitated.

G N Pl AINS PLEA. I Gives Specific Case That Called for Presidential Order. N FRANCISCO. Calif.. May A).—Col. Ned M. Green, Federal pro- hibitlon administrator for California, said yesterday that he had requested the presidential order empowering State peace officers to act as Federal agents in the suppression of the manu- facture and sale of liquor. “The reason for the request was that near the county line between two adjacent counties a bad condition ex- isted,” Col. Green declared in a state- ment. “Many foul and extremely in- sanitary stills were in operation just east of the line in what we will call county B, and all of the product of the still, which was rotted poison, was sold to the people just west of the line, in county A. Line Was Protection. “The county line, therefore, was a complete protection to these viola- tars, nearly all of whom were deport. able aliens. Both counties wanted the situation cleaned up, as it was not only a menace to public morals, but to public health, and they appealed to me. “I then asked the Washington au- thorities if two or three of the offi- cers of county A could be made Fed- eral agents for a short time without compensation, so that they could cross the county line and handle the situ- atlon. There were at the time no Federal men avallable, and there was no other way to handle the situation. “Such a ruling would ald enforce- ment in many like situations, and, of course, would not be used except where there was some special need for ft. ““It was found that the plan couid be authorized only in case the President issued an executive order rescinding an old order, issued in 1873 by Presi- dent Grant, saylng that county and State officers could not hold Federal Jobs at the same time, which, of course, was to prevent the drawing of two seperate salaries, and did not apply at all to this situation. ““T'he President, therefore, issued an order authorizing the appointment at nominal salaries, which would just simply give these county officers ad- ditional authority. ““It does not mean the appointment of more agents. It does not mean any moro expense to any one, and it does not mean any abuse of authority, unless you want to admit that your present sheriffs and deputy sheriffs are not men who can be trusted with a little additioral authority. “This order was issued simply to give much needed additional author- ity to county officers now in office and only in such localities where such a need existed and then only on re- quest of the county officers con- cerned. ‘Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, is to have a _new_promenade.
