Mitchell, asking for the adop- tion of the recommendation without amendment shouted: “A department of aviation at once under a direct cabinet officer is what is wanted.” The former air chief, speaking with | spirit, argued, that while Europe was honeycombed with a network of “‘so- called commercial air lines, which from night to morning may be turn- ed into military weapons,” the United Slatcs has been standing still. “It has been proved that a $15,000 airplane can destroy in a few hours $70,000,000 worth of battleships,” he shouted. The fight on the resolution turned simply on the question of whether the | fmmediate organization of such a de- rtment be recommended or whether be' recommended . for organization s soon as warranted.” These latter words which were included in the res- olution .of the committee were object- ed to by a number of délegates who held \hll if the department were need- ed it should be organized at once. As_eventually adopted, the recom- mendation contained the words “as soon as warranted.” Henry D. Lind- sleyn, American vice president of the Federation of War Veterans, present- ed a report and told the delegates: “It is our obligation, when we go home, 10 tell the American people what a re- ception was given us by the hundreds of thousands of people of Paris and thus procreate a feeling which will | prevent forever more muunqernand ings between the two peoples.” A committee on constitutional amendments then reported approval of new provisions whereby the Legion convention city will be chosen two years in advance, instead of one. Texas City Gets Convention. The selection of San Antonio, Tex., for the 1928 convention of the Legion by the Legion’s committee was ap- proved by the convention.

Returns from yesterday’s primary election from nearly one-half of the 1,517 divisions gave the organization slate a comfortable lead, but it was far below pre-election estimates of the leaders. In the mayoralty contest, in which the fight centered, figures from 715 divisions showed that Harry A. Mackey, organization candidate, was leading J. Hampton Moore, independ- ent, by 58,174, The vote in these divisions was: Mackey, 116,931, and Moore, 58,757. Mackey, campaign manager for Vare whose right to a seat in the United States Senate as a result of alleged excessive campaign expenditures and charges of fraud is under considera- tion by the Reed Senate committee, had the undivided support of the city's 48 ward leaders. Moore, a former Congressman and former mayor of Philadelphia, not only polled a heavier vote in the so-called independent wards than had been ex- pected by organization leaders, but made unexpected inroads in Vare strongholds. The former mayor based his: campaign on a declaration against “gang rule.” Mackey supporters had predicted his nomination by more than 300,000. Thomas W. Cunningham, who re- fused to tell the Reed Senate commit- tee the source of 50,000 he contrib- uted to the Vare campaign last year, was nominated by the Republicans for sheriff.

The layout probably will be viewed late*today or tomorrow by Secretary Melldn. Should it meet | his approval, it will then be presented to the Public Buildings Commission, of which Senator Smoot is chairman. Meantime the Treasury went for- | ward with the business of preliminary | work on several projects in Washing- | ton. two of which, the Internal Reve- uue, Bureau and ‘the Department of | Cofimerce buildings, fit into what is known as the “unified architectural composition plan” for the entire tri- angle bounded by Pennsylvania ave- nue, Fifteenth street and B street. Dewey Is Enthusiastic. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Dewey, who has been in charge of the Washington building program. was highly enthusiastic this morning after viewing the plans for Washing- n in the future. The completed sketches, he sald, | represented the working out of the unified architectural plan adopted in principle several months ago. Mr. ’])ewey explained the Treasury would not make public the designs, but | would hold them for official submis- sion to the Public Buildings Commis- | sion and later to Congress. 1i was learned, however, that the architects have completed sketches working in their home offices in | various parts of the country, in such |a way that when piercéd together, and drawn on exactly the same scale, | they present a composite picture of | the” whole. |~ One of the interesting developments is that of the huge court previously adopted and now worked out in pic- |j ture_for the inside of the triangle. “(Continued on Page 5, Column 4.) ‘Drawings and Sketches in| the | committee, | funds collected by the District and the contribution of $9,000,000 by the Federal Government, raise the ap- proximate sum of $43,500,000.

Tunney-Dempsey Fight Returns mendations, Foreseeing in Mr. Brown's recom- | mendations another attempt to wlti- mately wrest the control of the House of Detention from the Women's Bu- reau of the Police Department, Lieut. Mirta C. Van Winkle is expected to make a vigorous fight against adop- tion of the plan. The Commissioners have directed her to confer with them tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Mr. Brown and his assistants also will attend this conference, which will be held in the office of Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty. Former Recommendations Recalled ‘While Mrs. Van Winkle declined te comment on Mr. Brown's recommen dations, persons in close touch with her work pointed out that at least five attempts have been made to change the jurisdiction over the House of De- tention since its establishment 27 years ago. The Women's Bureau has prided itself on its operation of the House of Detention. Mr. Brown's plans, it was said, would not accom- plish anything except a removal and an additional expense and set up a dual control over the children. Mr. Brown recommended further that the balance of the appropriation now used to maintain the House of Detention be transferred to the Board of Public Welfare and used to main- | tain a suitable receviing home for these children and that this home be located temporarily in the R-S Building of the Government Hotels, on the Union Sta- tion Plaza, which the Housing Corpo- ratibn has offered to rent for $3,000 a year. As an alternative to these recommen- dations Mr. Brown suggested that the Police Department instead of the Board of Public Welfare rent the R-8 Building for the housing of the chil- dren, but the management of the home be placed under the director of public welfare. 1In either case, he pointed out, the children would be separated from adults held at the House of De- tention. Mr. Brown’s Letter. Mr. Brown made his recommenda- tions in a letter which followed several conferences with the Commissioners, at which the problem of rehousing the Women’s Bureau of the Police Depart- ment and the House of Detention, which are to be forced out of the Pennsylvania avenue Mall triangle by the building program, was considered.
