The bullding is to be erected on the site between South Capitol street and | New Jersey avenue, leaving the other | parcel west of South Capitol street for future expansion. Care has been ex- ercised during consideration of this legislation not to do anything that would block the vista down South Capitol street from the Capitol to the Potomac River, It is planned that work would start Immediately on the new building. It will be necessary to tear down the old Butler Building, now occupled by the Public Health Service, for which a new building is to be erected later near the Naval Hospital and Hygenic Laboratory on the terrace north of the Lincoln Memorial; the several buildings now occupied by the Coast and. Geodetic Survey, and the Con- gress Hall Hotel. Mr. Garrett of Tennessee joined with Majority Leader Tilson in urging passage of the bill so that members of the House would be afforded adequate office space to properly perform their rapidly growing duties for a constant- ly increasing -constituency. The op- position was led by Representative Woodrum, Democrat of Virginia. Would Increase Efficiency. In explaining the needs for the building Mr, Tilson said: “It is a bill to increase the efficiency of each member of this House in the official work he does for his constitu- I it were simply to add to our own ease or comfort that would be a different matter entirely, but it is not so. Let us picture the situation. Each mem- ber has one room. . He has with him in this one room at least two clerks, with typewriters. Sometimes a mem- ber has three clerks. “Furthermore, suppose & consti- tuent wishes to come in and confer with him. He must talk with him in the presence of these clerks, with the typewriters going, or take the con- stituent out fnto the corridor to con- fer with him. The same thing is true if a fellow member wishes to confer with him. There is no privacy at all, and what is ‘worse, there is no place where u'man can do construe- tive work. There is not a $10,000 corporation {n the country that would attempt to carry on a small business with such office facilities for its managing director or president. ‘Would Give Privacy “If a constityent or a fellow member or a lobbyist or an office seeker or what not comes to see you, he opens the door and comes in upon you so that there 18 no way by which you may shield yourself in order to go on with your work. Whether you are ready” or mnot you must drop your work, perhaps at the most inconven- lent moment, and meet him. We all know that it.is impossible to do our best constructive work unless there Mr. Garrett also stressed the need vacy for members of the House, and in combating the statements made by nd office bulldings could be built for the same amount, Mr. Garrett emphasized that ‘“the defeat of this bill will not add a single public bullding anywhere in the Un%ted Slllecsl,", 0 'he principal lvantages argued for the building on the square between South Capitol street and New Jersey wo | avenue instead of along the B street red | frontage on the mnorth ‘side of both squares from New Jersey avenue to Delaware avenue are summarized as are in the | follows: 1. Proximity to the present House Office Building, with main entrance from New Jersey avenue and B street at the upper level. 2. The occupancy of an entire square, avoiding coténancy with pri- vate buildings, the necessity of set- backs and possible future complica- tions. 3.

TOKIO, March 2 (#).—A bill sup- rted by a large number of members ed in the lower house today, favoring abolition of licensed y-rnuu'n in International Observance. ident Coolidge’'s summons to liberty-loving people throughout the world to participate in observing the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington is interpreted in 13 speeific recommendations made public in the annual report of the George Washington Amerlcan Citizens’ Bi-Centennial Commemoration com- mittee. An off-shoot of the George Wash- ington-Sulgrave Institute, which con- ceived and initiated the movement sponsored by the President and Con- gress of the United States, this com- mittee of public spirited citizens feels that the commemoration, with its attendant celebrations, would be com- paratively worthless in its spiritual effect and fail in its greater purpose if it did not foster throughout the world a spirit of good will. The committee proposes, as one of its outstanding recommendations, the initiation of an educational program of far-reaching possibilities; one that would make the school children of the country realize to the utmost the Natlon's debt to George Washington. In the opinion of John A. Stewart, chairman of the executive committee which framed the recommendations, the commemoration will fail signally unless it is based upon universal participation. Wide Participation Urged. “Merely for the people to be spec- tators and not participants s not enough to make the celebration worth while,”” the committee reports, “To be the success it must be, ‘George Washington should be brought home intimately to every one in the United States. Mr. Stewart pointed out that the committee has no connection with the Federal commission appointed by the President to make arrangements for the bi-centennial, but it was due to its efforts that Congress adopted the resolutions that paved the way for the President’s recent appeal to the American people. In a way, the ob- servance recommended by tals citi- zens' committee would follow on a larger scale the previous celebrations its members sponsored for the observ- ance of the anniversaries of the landing of the Pligrim Fathers and the first American legislative as- sembly at Jamestown. 4 It 18 the bellef of the citizens’ com- mittee that on the Sunday immedi- ately preceding February 22, 1982, the George Washington Bi-Centennial program should be inauguarted by divine services in every church of every creed. And in every church on the Sunday immediately following the close of the celebration on Feb- ruary 22, 1933, it was recommended that the final item in the 12 months’ program should be praise services at which Americans could rededicate themselves to the carrying on of the work which Washington began. Educational Program. So far as the educational program 18 concerned; the committee has pre- sented suggestions to the respective State commissioners of education for their consideration. The public scheols and universities would be in- vited, under this plan, to set aside certain hours, beginning with 1928, as periods of speclal ingtruction in the life and creative dctivities of Washington., These would be carried out as follows: For 1928, in regard to his ancestry and youth in Wakefield and Fred- eiksburg. ";ela‘:blfl". the forl‘l::lt.ll\:t period 13 the building of his cl er, up_an through thg French and Indlan War, For 1930, the period covered by his career as the:leader of the Colonial revolt and as a soldler actively in the fleld. For 1931, the years covering the bullding of the Republic, the calling and holding of the constitutional con- vention, his presidency, his retirement to Mount Vernon .and his death in 1799. £ For 1932, a general consideratior of his constructive acts and the per- manent benefits' which have been de- rived from them mot only by the people -of the United <States, but by the people of the whole world. Would Distribute Data. This educational program, the com: mittee points out, would afford opportunity for historical associa- tions to dig out for embodiment in a permanent printed volume, records relating to Washington and his times as a contribution to the archives of the Nation. It recommends also that the more interesting data respecting Washington, now in the Government archives, be printed and distributed for use in the public schools. I{I connection with such historical_col- lections, the suggestion has ‘been made through diplomatic chnnnel; that England, France and Hollan complle records of all papers relaflvng to Washington ‘tnund in the archives countries. ur’;:::alha ‘United States be hosts (o‘ the world on the commernorl(lon‘ ocd casion is a phase not only emphasize by President Coolldge, '\\It ul\l‘elsed in detall by the citizens ummt'tele.h As 1982 is the year upon whlc fall the Olympic games, the suggestion has been made to Col.

Coln, Stamps and Med-lm. Other recommendations of the com- mittee, some embodying legislative acts by the States and the formation of local committees in communities throughout the couritry, provide for a closely knitted movement that would bring the event to the attention !‘ thousands who otherwise might r pate ‘The following play an obvipus part: A commemorative coin, a postage stamp and a medal. Along this line it-is suggested there might be a series of stamps to issue, beginning with 1928, dealing in suc- cession with the periods of Washing- ton’s life as suggested in the school program, the last to show, perhaps, the profiles of Washington as a youth, a man of middle years and at the time of his death. At the time of the congressional hearings on the resolutions providing for the Washington commemoration, the citizens’ committee stressed the need of carrying out Washington's dream of a national university in the Capital and the preservation of historic edifices relating to the Washington family and the marking of those lo- calities in Great Britain, Ireland and Holland which are identified with the forebears of Washington. These rec- gmmendatlons the committee reaf- rms. Birthplace Marking. The committee also backs the sug- gestion of the FKederal commission that the section in Virginia from the Capital to the site of Washington's birthplace, and particularly about Fredericksburg, be properly developed and embellished. In this connection, the committee Ilikewise points to similar preservation of areas in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and rth Carolina which relate to the War of the Rev- olution and Washington's campaigns. ¥or many years the committee has been egitating for an adequate ap- proach and a proper base for the Washington Monument, and the com- memoration period, it believes, would be a fitting time to carry out this idea in harmony with the concept of the Fine Arts Commission.

PITTSBURGH BUILDING CRIPPLED BY STRIKE Three Unions Quit When Employ- ers Refuse to Grant Wage Increases. By ;:H-md-lm Press. SBURGH, - March 2—Fail of three trade. unions and the Bllll.l:"; ing Trades Employers’ Association to negotiate a new Avage contract. re- sulted yesterday in a partial tie-up of an early Spring building program, which included two theaters and a hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. The trade’ unionists, numbering some 1,200 men, stopped work at the expiration of the 1926 wage contract when the employers refused to grant thelr demands. " The contractors in- sisted upon a renewal of the old ‘wage agreement, which was accepted by other trade unions, Members 'of those unions remained at work. The crafts inyolved in the suspen- slon are the structural iron workes the cement finishers and the steam fitters. They asked wage increases and two of the unions, the fron work- ers and the cement finishers, are seeking a five-day week. Their wage demands are: Iron workers, $14 a day, an increase of $2; cement fin- ishers, $12 a day, an increase of $1.20, and the steam fitters $12.50, an in- cr;gse of 5(: cents a day. our unions had consideréd the guestion of suspending work . to tnn- force their demands, but the holsting engineers reported for work as usual. It was explained that decision to re- main at work was reached after ex. tended debate at union headquarters. At the office of the employers’ as- soclation late yesterday it was said there had been no communication from any of the unions. Union head- Quarters, likewlse, said there had been no word from the employers. Mean- time representatives of the United States Commissioners of Concillation and of the State Department of Labor and Industry continued their efforts to bring the two sides together, 200 GUESTS LISTED.

Advocates of the measure pointed out that it provides an appropriation of $600,000 for the construction of the proposed aviation field, but leaves se- lection of a site for the development to Government officials. John H. Hanna and Joseph A. Burk- art were named as representatives of the association to the Joint Industrial Councll, a permanent organization which is being constituted of delegates of the local trade and business groups for advancing the cause of industrial expansion is and near Washington. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the association, and Edward D. Shaw, executive secretary, were elected dele- gates to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The following were elected to mem- bership in the merchants’ organization: Pearson & Crain, jewelers; Robert N. Harper Co., manufacturers of medical goods; Joseph Rosendorf, B.

Nearly 300 persons, the members of the Rotary Club and their wives and guests, attended the annual “ladies’ night” celebration of the club at the Willard Hotel last night. There wasn't a serious thing about the program; a program that ex- cluded all speeches after the dinner and substituted music, entertainment, noise, dancing 'and gifts. The gifts were for the women only and in+ cluded - everything from two sacks of flour and a cook book to candy, notebooks, clocks and flowers to silk stockings and a marketing bag in which to cdrry them home. There was no head table and the president of the club and his staff of officers had places at the round tables among all the guests. Following the dinner and the award of the gifts to the women during the meal, special prizes were award- ed. Throughout the evening old- fashioned songs were sung, and in the program of dancing that closed the frolic, plenty of waltzes were in- cluded among the modern dance numbers. Gifts were donated by Charles Bolgiano, M. H. Rittenhouse, Ernest H. Daniel, Fred W. MacKenzie, Frank. H. Edmonds, William Ham, Sidney West, Walter Brownley, Wil- tiam Everett, Frank Saul, Sidney Straus, Dr. M. G. Gibbs and Frank R. Jeleff. Mrs. J.

PATRICK Considerable Tradition Supports Thesis, Ohioan Tells St. David’s Society Members. Thero is considerable tradition to support the thesis that St. Patrick was a Welshman and made his first appearance in Wales, Representative Thomas A. Jenkins of Ohio told mem- bers of the St. David's Soclety at their_annual banquet at the Roose- velt Hotel last night. ‘The actual lives of both St. Patrick and St. David., the patron saint of ‘Wales, are so distant, Mr. Jenkins sald, that tradition is the only gulde. “But to take the legend of St. David from the Welsh would be like taking the tradition of Santa Claus from the children,” he said. Francis T, Jones, president of the soclety, presided. Both he and Miss Edith A. Williams, secretary, spoke. ‘Welsh songs were sung. COAL! out its program instead of $1,800,000 voted last year. The Royal Canadian navy since the war has been maintained only as a skeleton force. There have been two destroyers and some -mine sweepers kept in active service and the re- mainder million and a half dollars de- voted to this branch has been spent on the training of naval reservists. This year the navy asks 501.7 ,000, which is an increase of $2: For the tralning of ca the schools of Canada an extra $100,000 is set aside,in the 1927-28 estimates, bringing the total amount for this purpose to $300,000. Militia Gets Increase. The non-permanent militia, corre- sponding to the National Guard or- ganization of the United States, also receives an increase in the estimates. Since the war about a million and a half dollars have been spent annually for militia training, but this year more than $2,000,000 is requested. The paper strength of the militia is about - 125,000, though the number trained annually is far below that number. Canada’s permanent force of hardly 4,000 of all ranks will remain un: changed. It is estimated that it will cost $4,800,000 to maintain during 1927-28. This force includes 340 officers who are all highly trained and capable of undertaking commands in several branches of military work. The permanent force in Canada is re- garded by the defense headquarters as a highly specialized body main- tained chiefly for training purposes. SENATE HAS HOPES OF BUILDINGS BILL Measure Carrying Appropriation for Purchase of Pennsylvania Avenue Triangle May Pass. An indication that members of the Senate have not lost hope of passing the public buildings bill, which pro- vides foy the purchase of the Penn- sylvania avenue triangle in Washing- ton and adds $100,000,000 to the ‘Fed- eral building program throughout the country, was given at the night ses- sion last night. While Senator Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania, was endeavoring, with- out success, to obtain unanimous con- sent for a special session tonight on the alien property bill, Senator Swan- son, Democrat, of Virginia, expressed the belief that the public bulldings measure should be acted on. He told Senator Reedshe did not think unani- mous - consent would be .granted for the alien property measure unless some provision is made for the public buildings bill. 9 PASTOR IS INDICTED IN TAX-FRAUD CASE California Synod Treasurer Ac- cused of Perjury and Making False Return. By the Associated Prese. SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.—A Federal grand jury indictment charg- ing Rev. Oscar H, Gruver, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, Alameda, and treasurer of the California Luth- eran Synod, with making a false in- come tax return and perjury, was made public here yesterday in the United States District Court. His bail was fixed at $10,000. The pastor is charged Wwith having defrauded the Government of taxes on bonds valued at $250,000, alleged to have been given to him by the late Julius Bohn, Oakland capitalist. The investigation developed from a civil action started in the courts in Oakland by Mrs. Rosa A. Bohn, widow of the capitalist, to recover the bonds. Bohn died in 1922 and in his will dis- posed of an estate valued at $700,000. Gruver and Mrs. Bohn were named as executor and executrix and the will provided that the estate go to Mrs. Bohn and a son and daughter. —_— All radio owners in the Philippines are to contribute toward maintenance of the broadcasting station, from which each receives.
