PRELATE DEDICATES 7.0 CHEVY CHASE CHURCH | Archbishop Curley Officiates in| Rites at Shrine of Most Blessed Sacrament. Archbishop Michael J. Curley of Baltimore officiated at the dedication of the new $250,000 Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, at Quesada street and Western avenue, yesterday morning. The archbishop made an addiess in which he congratulated the ministry and congregation for their efforts in the erection of the church. He par- ticularly praised the choir, declaring that in bygone years there was some ehurch music not in keeping with the solemnity of the mass, and that the strains from the choir loft yesterday were proof that “music can be a help | to prayer rather than a detriment.” The mass was celebrated by Rev. James A. Smyth of St. Peter’s Church, Paltimore, a brother of Rev. Thomas G. Smyth. pastor of the church. Rev. James E. Connell, pastor of Immacu- Jate Conception, was deacon of the mass, and Rev. Cornelius Dacey, pa tor of St. Pauls Church, was sub- deacon. Rev. John C . a Paul- ist priest, of New York, also a brother of the pastor, preached the sermon. Archbishop Curley, in_connection with his address, praised Rev. Father I3 pastor, and spoke of the work brothers. He declared, the happiest person in_the s the mother of these three ch w Charles W.

McJunkin, head of a large Chicago advertising concern, who is one of the mayor’s personal assistants on this trip. The mayor arose, brimmed cowboy-type hat and hustled out, accompanied by Representative Sproul_of Illinois, who drove him to the White House. He was loudly cheered as he thrust his way again through the lobby congestion and out- e of the hotel he paused again for another photograph. As a result of the delays, Mayor Thompson kept President Coolidge waiting about 10 minutes. The mayor took with him to the White House two large, heavy volumes, containing thousands of newspaper clippings in connection with his flood control tour | to the Pacific Coast. A sturdy aide was taken along to earry the hooks, which the mayor said would show the President something of the sentiment for flood control throughout the coun- ry Accompanying Thompson to the White House, in addition to the aide and Representative Sproul, was Law- | rence Y.

Mayor Thompson related to the President his observations made dur- ing the 10,000 miles he has traveled through the Mississippi basin since last Summer. He said he found the people everywhere, regardless of poli- tics, of the opinion that the question of flood control should be settled by the National Government and hoped that something definite would be en- tered upon at the coming session of Congress. Mayor Thompson said he enjoyed his chat with the President, found him looking well and was pleased when the latter expressed himself as being appreciative of elforts on the part of the Chicago flood control con- ference in bringing to the attention of the public the necessity for con- gressional action, if the problem of flood control is to be solved. Ile found the President much interested in the subject and very sympathetic toward the permanent correction “of the flocd problem. One member of Mayor Thompson's group said, on lea House, that the Pr them to be his guests at br dent had invited kfast in and had told Mayor Thompson to ex- tend the invitation to Small of Illinois and seven or eight others of the Chicago party here. Mayor Thompson during his White House call avoided any mention of his anti-British campaign. When the sub- ject was broached on his call at the White House, he said he had nothing to say about that subject now. Hs had a lively time on the walk from the Executive office, posing for the news photosraphers in all sorts of attitudes, but mostly turning over the pages of the two large scrap- Dbooks. When it was all over and he was about to enter his automobile he said_he hoped he'd have a good time in Washington tonight and that he would be able to run across something interesting.

Developments with respect to Har- ley P. Wilson's plan for consolidating the transportation systems of the Dis- trict were virtually at a_standstill to day for the f time since the gen- eral outline of the scheme was made public t Monday. Conferences hetween the street way executives, Ir. Wilson and Public Utilities Commission, su by John H. Hanna, president of the Capital ction ‘0., as the best means of accomplishing merger. probably will be the next step, but there appears to be the 1o some doubt as to which group will take the responsibil- ity in initiating the discussions. Tr. Wilson said that he is r willing to discuss his plan with repre- | sentatives of the car compantes and | the commission, but is waiting for the conferences to be called. The commis- sion, on the other hand, had made no preliminary move to bring about a meeting of the various groups. How- ever, John W. Childr hairman of the commission nnounced tod that he would provide his office for the meetings. The stage, therefore, is virtually set for the proposed conferences and they likely will take place just as soon as the principals can decide among themselves which group should issue | the call. Aside from 1dy and | these conferences, Mr. Wilson, Ralph B. Fleharty, people's counsel hefore the Utilities Commis sion, the Public Utilities committee of the 'TFederation of Citizgns' Associa- tions and representatives of the firm |of Hansel & Hansel, which is mak- ing a transportation survey for committee, are expected to zet gether at the District Building latter part of the week to dis plans for a merger.
