Never before perhaps | has there been such a test as is being | {at the present moment made. While the American Federation of {Labor decided through its executive | council to remain neutral. the State federations in many States will {dorse Gov. Smith. In fact, the speech William Green. president of the American Federation of Labor, at the New York State labor convention svm- pathetically discussing Gov. Smith’s rocord is taken to mean that many State organizations will do what the national body refrained from doing Same in Farm Organizations. With respect to farm organizations. jation ex Will the spokesmen be able to commit the rank and file? George N.

It is a serious question how many voters are influenced t {way.

Another factor which diminishes the value of theo rganization activity is that the so-called labor vote, for e: ample, is a relatively small part of the total vote in the populous States, |50 that other influences are likely to turn a State one way or the other. There is a distinction, too, between the “labor vote” and the votes of people who work for wages. The former is in | direct touch with leaders through at- tendance at meetings and the latter | is inaccessible unless large sums are spent for mail canvass—a situation that confronts the party managers with every large group of voters.

Calvert, jr | head of the National Hotel Co. Mr. Calvert said, however, ths nothing definite as to the new building | | had been decided, although negotiations | were being carried forward 1t developed at the same time, how- ever, that the District authorities have been approached on the project in re- lation to the zoning regulations. | Mr. Calvert was reluctant to make a public statement on the plan, but said it was *pos t the new building might be started thi He could | not indicate the estimated cost of the new structure, nor its size or accommo- dations, he said When reminded regarding the plans | of the District for the development of a great municipal center in the section | | which includes the site of the National | Hotel, Mr. Calvert expressed doubt that actual Government building plans would { materialize in the next few years. | Maj. Donald A. Davison, Acting En- gineer Commissioner and executive officer of the Zoning Commission, said that the hotel project had been brought to the attention of the District author- ities, but it was added that no steps | would be taken to prevent such a de- | | velopment, because District plans have | not” yet progressed to a point where | steps can be taken to acquire the prop- | erty in the area |~ “Until condemnation _proceedings. said Maj.

Davison was not exercised over | the idea, because he said the hotel | would serve as an impetus toward the early rehabilitation of the area north of Pennsylvania avenue and provide a | more attractive setting for the new | Government, bulldings to be erected on the south side. At the same time, how- | ever, Maj. Davison is cognizant of the | fact that the new hotel will undoubted- | Iy raise the value of the property in | the proposed clvic center area and in- | crease its cost to the District should Central 12:30, 2, 3:30, 5 ?::‘sx: the m.brgle north of Pennsyl- v avenue betwee ’"::.::& n Third and Sixth e height of the new hotel b will be restricted to 90 feet una‘:‘rm:x):E isting zoning regulations and the pro- moters have asked the Zoning Commis- sion to raise the limit to 110 feet. Plans will be drawn, however, for a 90-foot building so designed that two additional stories may be added should the com- | mision later extend the height restric- tions. Maj. Davison said that he is confident | that if the District officials requested | the promoters of the new hotel to keep | | out of the triangle area that they would be glad to do it. “But” he said, “the officials cannot do that, because the | District has not gone far enough with its plans for the proposed civic center | to be able to definitely state STAR.
