MARKET MAY STAY THO YEARSLONGER Smoot Holds Center Dealers Will Not Be Asked to Move by 1929. Although a resolution is pending in Congress to abandon Center Market after January 1, 1929, Chairman Smoot of the Public Buildings Commission | announced today that it would be two | years or longer before the Government will ask the dealers in the market to move. Senator Smoot explained that the main purpose of the pending resolu- tion is to put the market dealers on notice that the Government will need that ground in connection with the building program. He pointed out, however, that appropriations now avail- able and those to be made in the near future will be necessary for construc- tion of other buildings“west of Center Market and that the Buildings Commis- sion has no desire to ask the market dealers to move until the commission is ready with«funds to begin the De- partment of Justice Bullding on the Center Market site. C. of C. Urges Delay. An urgent request that Congress withhold passage of legislation now pending which would force Center Mar- ket to vacate its present location, which stands in the way of the Federal building program, by.the beginning of 1929, is made in a resolution adopted yesterday at a joint meeting of the re- tail and wholesale committees of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. The enforced vacating of the market in so short a time, the resolution states, “would work serious injustice upon utable business firms, as well as by g resultant hurtful disorganiza- tion of bus'x:x‘m conditions in the Na- ‘The chamber committees point out that it probably will be two or three years before Federal officials will have authérity or funds to begin the razing of the Center Market Building, and. therefore, the earlier vacating of the market would be a hardship. See Blow to Business. The resolution further states that the moving of Center Market at this time would not only interfere with the equili- brium of private employment, but, if put through too hastily, would seriously af- fect the business activities now con- ducted in Center Market and in the neighboring blocks by raising problems as to ownership and future occupancy. It asserted also that many firms which have developed important business en- terprises in Center Market could not | be relocated in the short period of time | contemplated, without undue impair- ment to their capital investment, volume of current business, and the general prosperity they now are experiencing. The chamber committees remind Congress that Center Market is the iargest institution of its kind in the United States, and pays rental to the Federal Government amounting to elent iA one respect.

It would be greatly diminished if the United Btates agreed to the rules of blockade professed | by Grest Britain and which the United | Btates ftself applied during the World | War. 1t would entirely disappear if the American Government by & clear state ment promised 1 refuse v aid the na- tion which the memb { the League Council unanimously de d to be the therefore, t in 18 hands va protoco) covenant on. of the G workings of the Le securily of Burope cisarmament Generally spezking. nobody the pescetul intent of the U Everytndy knows that it doubts ited Btat 0w g indireet £id 0 a nation which sho, d cause war This already has been wd.

WOULD CALL INCOMING SESSION FOR MARCH 4 Norris-White Proposal to Eliminate Defeated Members Beaten After Heated Debate. By the Associated Press. Less than 24 hours after the House had rejected the White-Norris consti- tutional amendment to abolish “lame- duck” sessions of Congress, a new move was initiated today to do away with those sessions in which members de- feated at the polls participate. Taking the word of Republican House leaders who, in urging defeat of the constitutional proposal, argued that such a change could be effected by law. Representative La Guardia, Republican, New York, today introduced a bill de- signed to eliminate the “lame-duck” assemblages. The New Yorker proposed that the first session of a new Congress convene March 4, immediately after the Presi- dent had been inaugurated. This could run, if necessary. to the following De- cember when the second session would begin. “Lame Ducks” Avoided. Starting on the first Monday in De- cember, the second session, La Guardia sald, would avoid a “lame duck” Con- gress in that it would be one year be- fore the terms of members expired. Coming betore the House for the first time, the four-times Senate approved constitutional amendment to abolish the “lame duck” terms was turned down yesterday, 209 to 157, 36 votes short of ihe two-thirds necessary for approval. Of the 368 members present—there are 436 in the House—two, Stalker, Republican, New York, and Williams, Democrat, Texas, voted present. Party lines were obliterated on the final vote, 89 Republicans joining 118 Democrats and two Farmer-Labor members in su| port of the amendment, and 102 Repub- licans combining with 55 Democrats in opposition, The action, coming after three days L) Had it been adopted, the Legislatu: three-fourths of the States would have had to approve it before it joined the ogm 19 amendments of the Constitu- tion.

BLIZZARD SWEEPS SECTIONS OF EAST Gotham Blanketed by Snow. Pennsylvania Mountains Hard Hit. ly have By the Associated Prei NEW YORK, March 10.—A snowstorm today blanketed large sections of the East with one of the heaviest falls of the Winter. The fall ranged from fractional amounts to one foot. Temperatures were moderate over most of the region. 0ld residents were wondering if the famed blizzard of '88 was to be repeated. On March 11 and 12, that year, the East was blanketed with the worst snowstorm of record, 209 inches being reported in New York City, where traffic was disrupted for days, and the city cut off from outside communication. The first communication with Boston was established via London cables. Property loss at that time was estimated at $25,000,000, Mountainy Blanketed. | The heaviest snowfall today was i | the Pennsylvania mountains, which un- {oMcial estimates placed at 10 inches, and at Gloversville in upstate New York, where there was a foot.

Asheville is only 14 hours from Wash- inglon by railroad, and as such is locked upon by the ‘Chief Executive as within a convenient distance from his likely centers of operation this Sum- mer. One of these probably will be Northampton, Mass, from which Mr. Coolidge does not wish to depart too far on account of .he condition of Mrs. Lemira Goodhue, Mrs. Coolidge's mother, who has been dangerously il since last December. Washington, on account of the peculiar political situa- tion this year, is the other center to which Mr. Coolidge intends to remain relatively close. The likely dates on which Mr. Cool- 1dge would begin his vacation cannot as yet be settled. The President feels that, | although it will depend largely upon the closing of Congress, for which he nat- uraly will remain in Washington, his departure is not likely to be before June : 11, for which day the hudf(‘t meeting | has been tentatively scheduled. Foresees Closing in May. Mr. Coolidge, in this respect, is of the opinion_that Congress easily could dis- pose of all business before it by the middle of May. This would leave him free to start his annual vacation as s00n after June 11 as practicable, prob- ably colncidentally with the opening of the Republican national convention in Kansas City on June 12 The President is belleved to be in- fluenced in regarding Zealandia with favor by recollections of his visit to Asheville with Mrs. Coolidge while he was Vice President. It was his first trip tg the South, and remained the farthest he had gone beyond Virginia until his visit to Havana in January.
