Four separate areas are involved in the Treasury's latest move. The largest consists of a group of three blocks in the vicinity south of the District Build- ing and Southern Raflway Building. They are known as squares No. 257, 258 and 260, and occupy the area be- tween B and D streets, Thirteenth and Fourteenth, with the exception of the Potomac Electric Power Company block, No. 259, bounded by Phirteen-and-a- half street and Fourteenth, B and C streets. The second area is the remaining part of block No. 349, bounded by Tenth and Eleventh, C streets and Pennsylvania avenue. The Government already has purchased in this area the President Theater and adjacent property. | Another block in another location for which bids are being asked is known as square No. 461, east of Center Market, and bounded by Sixth, Seventh and B streets and Pennsylvania avenue. It is a triangular piece of land and occupies the eastern tip of the true Federal tri- angle. | Reservation C Included. The Treasury has asked for offers on what is known as Reservation C, an area of ground west of the Botanic Garden | and south of the Mall, bounded by Third street, Fourth street, Maine ave- nue and Maryland avenue. The Treas- | ury has already purchased part of this | reservation. The Government also means to ac- quire later on reservations A and B, lying along the south side of Pennsyl- vania avenue between Third and Sixth streets. ‘The move for the present means that the Treasury has taken steps for ac- quiring virtually all of the ground in the triangle proper. ‘The principle on which the Govern- ment is operating is that it is a matter of Federal economy to purchase the entire triangle as soon as possible, to prevent increases in price. Grand Plaza to Be Developed. ‘The property on which the Treasury now is asking bids will be used both for landscape purposes, and for building sites. The area directly to the south! of the District and Southern Railway is to be developed into what will be known as the grand plaza. The area along B street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, is to be used for erection of a building for the Depart- ment of Labor, and part of the struc- ture for the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, which will extend further east- ward along B street to Twelfth street. No decision has been made by the authorities as yet concerning just what | be done with the President Thea- ter block and the eastern tip of the triangle at Sixth and Seventh streets. Reservation C south of the Mall is to be included in the program for develop- | ment of the Mall. | HOOVER ASKED TO AID WORK. | Trades Council Seeks Speeding Up of Condemnation Proceedings. President Hoover today was requested by the Washington Building Trades | Council to take immediate steps to facilitate the work of condemnation of properties included in the Federal butlding program, so that the unemploy- ment situation in the building trades in this city might be relieved. The re- | quest was contained in a resolution | adopted by the council at a special | meeting yesterday and transmitted to| the White House today. The resolution cited with other things that in the city of Washington and vicinity, there are many workers, both skilled and unskilled, out of em- | ployment, and their employment mnot | | only will place the workers in a position to care for themselves and their families, but will go far toward pre- venting business depression. | ‘The resolution further stated that the council, in making the petition, was | of the belief that the immediate in- auguration of such a program offers not only a solution of the unemploy- ment problems in this city, but the car- | rying ‘into effect of the program will result in economy to the Government. | Charles E. Young, executive secretary | of the council, said that unemployment in all of the building trades during the past Winter had been more severe than, at any previous time in the history of the organization and estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 skilled and | unskilled union tradesmen had been out of work for the past six months. include the non-union workers. |HOOVER FARM AID | VIEWS ARE SOUGHT ‘ .BY HOUSE COMMITTEE (Continued Prom First Page.) appointments in a State whose two Sen- apmpr'; are Democrats brought to the White House last night the three men appointed by Mr. Hoover to act as a | man for the Republican members of the New York delegation in the House. | They were Charles D.

An equal num- ber, withdrawn at intervals through- out the past week, were said by rebel leaders to be camped half way between here and Naco. Gen. Olachea’s fed- eral forces at Naco were reported to number 1,200, mostly Indians. Gov. Abelardo Rodriguez of the north- ern district of Baja California, who was threatened yesterday with execution by the rebel Gen. Gausto Topete if he crossed the Mexican line into Sonora, Mexico, declared that he intended to stay on the American side of this border town while here. i Advices received from the Southern Sinaloa front stated that Gen. Ramon Iturbe's rebel army was approcahing slowly toward Mazatlan, which is under federal control. Rebel dispatches said that Yaqui Indian cavalry was to lead an attack upon the city. REBELS CLAIM 25,000. 7,000 Troops Reported in Jimenez as Escobar Destroys Railroads. JUAREZ, Chihuahua, Mexico, March 20 (#).—Rebel forces continued their retreat north today to Jimenez, where Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar, commander- in-chi>f, has established headquarters. Some 7,000 troops were reported to be in that city. The remainder of the rebel army, said to number 25,000 men, was strung along a route a few miles north of Torreon to Jimenez. At rebel headquarters it was said Es- cobar was advancing his forces by easy stages over desert country, destroying railroads behind them, which will force the troops of Gen. P. Elias Calles to make a long march through the arid section and put them at a disadvantage when battle occurs. New Outbreak Hinted. From some sources it was hinted that when Escobar has maneuvered the fed- erals to the place he has chosen for battle the revolution will break out anew in Central and Southern Mexico. Fifteen federals, said to have been a guerrilla band recruited in El Paso, ‘Tex., were killed when rebel troops su prised them at Ojingara yesterday, di: patches to rebel headquarters here said. ‘The 15 men constituted the entire band, it was reported. It was learned here yesterday that three representatives of the Mexican rebels are in Washington and will en- deavor to see President Hoover to urge recognition by the United States of the revolutionists as belligerents.
