While several of the witnesses said hey had no authority to speak for he President, it was emphasized that sither the Budget Bureau nor the sident has any authority over ap ropriations made for the legi y, but that aside from thi was no reason to believe that the President would be opposed to this wppropriation. Moore Started Movement. This legislation originated from a Yesolution in the last Congress by epresentative R. Walton Moore of yirginia, which called for an appro- jation of $2,600 to make a study of he housing needs of the House, with recommendations. House Leader Tilson, unable to at- tend the hearing, sent a letter heartily indorsing the plan and stating that it was in the interests of efficiency and economy that each member of the House should be provided with adequate office space. Minority Leader Garrett, who is also a member of the House Office Building committee, appeared in per- son and emphasized his belief that there would be no adverse criticism from the people of the country.

Expect President’'s 0. K. Mr. Bachrach stated that he had no reason to believe the President would be opposed to this legislation. A delegation from the House ap- propriations committee, acting under unanimous instructions from the com- mittee, appeared in support of the bill. Those who spoke were Repre- sentatives Wason, New Hampshire; French of Idaho, Barbour of Cali- fornia, Buchanan of Texas and Collins of Mississippi. A delegation from the subcommittee that handles appropriations for the legislative branch of the Government also supported the bill. These - cluded Representative Dickinson of Jowa, acting chairman: Representa- tive Taylor of Colorado, ranking Dem- ocrat, and Representative Collins of Mississippl. The only voice of opposition was from Representative Woodrum of Vir- ginia, who expressed his feeling that better accommodations were needed for many members of Congress, and that he was in sympathy with the de sire to afford adequate accommoda- tions so that they might perform their duties most efficiently, but he was fearful that people throughout the country might get the idea that mem- bers of Congress were granting them- selves too luxurious quarters. Representatives -Moore of Virginia, Copp of Iowa, Oliver of New York, Reed of Naw York, Almon of Alabama and other members of Congress spoke in favor of the legislation. $1,970,000 for Land. Representative Collins said that it is now estimated that $1,070,000 will be required to acquire the privately- owned land in the two squares be- tween New Jersey and Delaware ave- nues, B and C streets. He bas been advised by District Assessor Richards that this privately owned land is now assessed for $545,000. He advocated eetting up a limita- tion of 25 per: cent in excess of as- sessed’ value as is carried in the Dis- trict appropriation bill or a provision that “not in excess of $700,000 should be paid for the property.” Mr. Collins advocated -erection of a new building on the site between New Jersey avenue and South Capitol street instead of on the north side of the two parcels of land east and west of South Capitol street. He claimed thnt under this plan there would be a saving sufficient to pay the costs of acquiring both squares. 30 YEARS WITH B. & 0. George E. Hartley, Jr., Heart Vic- tim, to Be Buried Tomorrow.
