P o HLEI WOULD SE ON ALLCONTANERS Commerce Official’s Radio Advice Emphasizes Need of Engineering Idea. By applying the engineering prin- elples used in building bridges and huge | office bulldings to the construction of humbel soap boxes, crates and other wooden containers, the United States | In one year should be able to save suffi- | elent Jumber to build a city of wooden | structures which would house a pépu- | lation 50 per cent greater than that of | the National Capital, Dr. Julius Klein, director of forelgn and domestic com- merce, Department of Commerce, said | last night in a radio talk from Station ‘The building of boxes and crates in this country each year uses up almost 4.000,000,000 board feet of lumber, or 15 per cent of the Nation's total lumber cut, Dr. Klein said. After its primary use as containers, the bulk of this lum- ber is burned as waste, he said, repre- senting a vast economic loss. By the application of engineering rinciples to crate construction, Dr. lein fnid, crates having the same de- gree of strength can be built with half the lumber now used. Moreover, he said, the crates and boxes now burned can be used to advantage. The na- tional committee on wood utilization of the Department of Commerce has worked up more than 1,200 different | Ideas, each accompanied by plans, for the use of this material. These plans are being prepared as illustrated book- lets and will be issued soon.

The House leadership will | allow Chairman Zihlman of the District | committee to call up measures pending | on the calendar, but indications are| |that demands will be made upon him | for time under general debate which will cause much of the time to be frittered away in discussion of matters not at all related to District legislation, There are a score or more District bills awaiting action, some of them im- portant constructive measures that should be passed at this short session. If the more important and less con- troversial bills are called up first it may be possible to get desirable legislation passed. The bill to establish the Police ‘Woman's Bureau in the Police Depart- ment by substantive law is unfinished business. Demand has been made that the Stalker bill to establish an airport on Gravelly Point should have pref- erential consideration and the commit- tee at its last meeting instructed Chair- man Zihlman to confer with the House leaders and the Republican steering committee so that it could have privi- leged consideration. An opportunity is afforded for action tomorrow. Of outstanding importance is the Simmons bill authorizing the acquisi- tion of the site for the new municipal center. This was amended in commit- tee providing for immediate acquisition of the four square® to the right and left of John Marshall place, north of Penn- sylvania avenue to Indiana and Louisi- ana avenues. A determined effort will be made to get this bill passed tomor- Tow.
