Officials of the District | Gbvernment will compile a list of these points and the members of the committee will study them next | Tuesday during the traffic peak pe- riods. It is the plan of the committee, wherever it may be found possible. | to increase the turning radius at | these intersections by setting back the curb and pavemen: As the matter necessarily involves | the movement of sewer catch basins | at the corners. J. B. Gordon, sani- tary engineer of the District, w. called into the conference today. It | was pointed out that any changes that might be ordered would in- { volve considerable expense in mov- ing these sewers, but Mr. Gordon pointed ont that in most cases it would be cheaper for the District to do this bhecause of the constantly recurring damages to these hasins due to automobiles running into and | over them in making the turns.

Senator Reed broached the subject after a tilt with Senator Borah during dehate on the Italian debt settlement The Pennsylvanian had challenged the truth of a statement made by his c« In the next da Reed found that the form of the statement to which he took exception had been changed. He | thereupon told the Senate in open ses- sion that Senator Borah had “revised” his speech after delivery, and read to enators what the Idahoan actually had said and what he was represented ing in the Congressional Record. In the heat of the farm relief fight in the House, Representative Aswell of Louisiana called attention from the floor to a revision made by Repre- senta Brand of Ohio in a speech de- livered by the latter the day before. Aswell immediately was taken to task by other members, who hinted broadly that the Louisianan should not be telling tales out of school “Everybody revises their remarks,” Carter of Okla- homa. “The gengleman from Louis- iana does, and I do. WWe go to our flices late in the afternoon, anxious fo: finish: 1p oar work, and revise the Record: and sometimes we recognize things in the Record next day that we wish we had not said. I have no |doubt the gentleman from Louisiana has had that experiehce.” That virtually ended the argument. U. S. ALIENISTS URGED. Black Bill Would Create Board of . 20 Physicians. .
