President Hoover is behind this pro- gram for providing adequate buildings | for the Government's work just as soon | as they can be efficiently constructed, | and is expected to include such recom- | mendations in his budget message at the opening of the December session. These estimates are based on a care- ful survey made by a special interde- partmental committee appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Post- master General. Great Amount Authorized. | Already $248,000,000 has been au-; thorized by Congress for buildings throughout the States, and $75,000.000 | for the building program in Washing- | ton—8$50,000,000 for buildings and $25.- | 000,000 for acquisition of the triangle site between Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall. The proposed additional au- thorization would bring the public building program up to $348,000,000 | throughout the States—the estimates of | the interdepartmental committee being $398.000,000—and $150,000,000 for the urgently needed office buildings in the Capital. Under the $248.000,000 authorization, which includes $48.000,000 to be derived from the sale of obsolete buildings and sites at places where new construction is contemplated, 571 projects have been allocated—293 new Post Office buildings at places heretofore without Federal buildings, 16 additional new buildings | at places now provided with Federal | buildings, 107 additions or extensions to | present buildings, 17 marine hospital | and quarantine station projects and 38 border inspection stations for the | customs and Immigration services.

Despite persistent claims that murder has been proven and that the slaver is known, The Star has learned that the Department of Justice has not closed its mind to the theory of a coroner’s jury that Virginia McPherson com- mitted suicide. There is reason to believe that evi- dence has been obtained strongly sub- stantiating the contention that the wife of Robert A. McPherson, jr., ended her life by tying a pajama belt around her neck and strangling herself to death. The report of the Government agents investigating the mysterious Park Lane tragedy, it is understood, will eontain statements of fact indicative of suicide. not discovered until the trained Federal investigators were brought into the case. No Opinion to Be Expressed. The report itself will contain no ex- pression of opinion regarding either the murder or suicide theories, but will con- stitute an uncolored recounting of facts established during the course of the Government's extraordinary inquiry. A number of “loose ends” of the case remain to be collected during the com- ing week. The final presentation of facts to the Federal prosecutor is ex- pected toward the end of this week or early in the next. Conclusions in the probe will be left | to John E. Laskey, special assistant to the Attorney General, appointed to prosecute McPherson on a first degree murder charge preferred by a grand jury.

Evidence Is Held Lacking. ‘The Star has been able to obtain no official foundation for the reports On the contrary, it is indicated that careful consideration of all the conflicting and confusing statements of more than 800 witnesses has left the Government without sufficient evidence to convict any person of the alleged murder.

Naturally enough Mr. Hoover keenly felt the lack of interest shown in his and Mrs. Hoover's brief visit to Louis- ville. But the President accepted the incident in the Kentucky city in a al manner. After calmly re- viewing the occasion he is satisfied that no slight was intended by the Louisville people and what appeared to be a frost was due, not to unfriendli- ness, but to a variety of circumstances of which the eleventh-hour change in his plans and the bad weather were the principal causes. The fact that Mr. Hoover has had enough of these so-called extended trips does not mean that he will not go out of Washington occasionally to make & speech or to take part in some cele- bration or other worthy occasion. It means that in the future, when he ac- cepts an invitation to speak or visit in some city, he is not going to be pre- vailed upon by influential citizens in (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.)
