Representatives of the various serv- ices were presented to the board by Lu- ther C. Steward, president of the Na- tional Federation of Federal Employes. The representatives were from local fed- eration unions in large industrial cen- ters. At the morning session, R. C. Sutton, chief of the administrative section of the district engineer’s office at Phila- delphia, a unit of 600 civilian employes, composing the engineer and adminis- trative sections, émphasized the com- parative unattractiveness of present salaries in the engineer service, with no definite prospect of promotion, which, he sald, resulted in high turn- over of too large a number of employes who leave the service for more lucrative employment outside the Government.

The special object of the survey, he said, is the production and main- tenance of a complete and accurate series of nautical charts of the North- ern and Northwestern lakes. The em- ployes feel that they should be classified similarly to those in the Coast and Geo- detic Survey and the hydrographic office of the Navy Department, he declared with salaries for the lower positions not less than $1,500 a year. At the afternoon Ross of the naval base al Hampton Roads, Va. and C. C.

He declared that notwithstanding the fact that naval telegraph operators, much of the whole work is in code and who are required to send and receive at a high rate of speed, are. given a much lower rate of pay than those who are doing similar work for any of the big com- mercial telegraph companies or large commercial houses who maintain their own wire services. F. W. Patterson explained the work of the supervising clerical staff at the naval headquarters at New York, P. J. Benson told of the work of the in- spectors. G. F. Wohlgemuth, H. F. Sipe and C. B.

The regular session of Congress which begins next month, will take up ' 'a number of measures for the phy!ktal| improvement of Federal property in| Washington, Chairman Keyes of the!

He men- tioned the following important matters ! awaiting the attention of his commit- tee, on which he is hppeful of obtain- nig action: Authorization for the United States | Supreme Court Building, which is to cost between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000 and an initial appropriation to start the work. An appropriation to begin beautify- ing the Union Station Plaza, includ- ing construction of an underground ga- rage near the Capitol. A proposal to increase the authoriza- tions for new public buldings, both in Washington and throughout the coun- try, in order to speed up the building program. A bill to acquire for the Government square on the south side of the by Delaware ®avenue, and C streets south- Seek Building Authorization. Senator Keyes pointed out that the site for the Supreme Court Bullding, bounded by Maryland avenue, East Capital street, First and Second streets northeast, has been bought by the Gov- ernment. The legislation to be taken up next month wiil be to authorize the building, and as soon as that measure passes sufficient money will be sought in an early appropriation bill to clear the site and start construction. ‘The Union Station plaza project has been authorized, but no money appro- priated. Early in the regular session Senator Keyes expects an appropria- tion sufficient to improve the end of the plaza nearest to the Capitol, a feature of which will be the under- ground _storage place for automobiles. ‘This garage will be under the surface of the square adjoining the Senate Office Buiiding and will not interfere | with the lanascape treatment of the area. Would Speed Up Program. With regard. to the building program in the triangle, Senator Keyes is strong- ly in favor of providing larger appro- priations in order that the program may be completed more rapidly. He said it would be economical for the Govern- ment to do this, and thought the sime policy should be extended to the build- ing of post offices throughout the Na- on. The New Ham) Senator also dis- played interest the problem of how to provide for storage of the large num- ber of automobiles that will be drawn into the triangle area when all of the new buildings are completed. He sug- gested that underground storage places might Be provided beneath the open | spaces that are to be left around the buildings for landscape treatment. MASH AND STILL TAKEN IN RAID Two Arrests Made When Police ! Swoop Down on Rosemont Street House. | | Sergt. George Little and his squad, Leo Murray and H. O. Tutt, accom- panied by Policeman W. C.

Two arrests also were made. It was the second time in recent months a still had been found in the house. The police reported that when thes: entered about 9 o'clock the still was | red-hot, and apparently had just been | shut down a few minutes. An _inspection of the residence re- vealed the fact that the gas meter had been removed and a large- rubber tube, which connected with the still, installed in its place. Representatives of the Washington Gas Light Co. placed a charge of larceny of $50 in gas against the alleged operator of the premises, Dorothy Martha Davis, 24 years old, of 640 Fourteenth street northeast. Assistant United States Attorney David A. Hart said today that the Davis woman, along with John L. Abersoll, who said that he was employed at the place, would be charged with maintain- ing a nuisance, possession of whisky and possession of property designed for the manufacture of liquor.

LORADO TAFT HITS MODERN ART TREND Sculptor Calls New Works Jokes, Mysteries and Farces | in Lecture Here. Characterizing the extreme in modern art as a reaction to overtraining in the academic principles of art, Lorado Taft, noted American sculptor and member of the National Committee of Fine Arts, held up to ridicule and caus- tic comment examples of the modern school in sculpture for the amusement of a Community Institute audience in Central High School last night. Mr. Taft delivered his announced lec- ture on “The Modern Trend in Sculp- ture” in the form of running comment upon stereopticon views of sculptural works which ranged from the most academic to the most eerie type af mod- eling. Although he did not actually tell his audience what the “modern trend” is, he entertained his listeners with critical observations which ran from sarcasm to pity. Comments on Types. He referred to some of the pictured works as “jokes,” others as “mysteries; and still others as “farces.” The pieces which drew this sort of fire, however, were the more extreme examples of the art. There were many works showin marked evidence of the modern school in which actual representation of the human figure had given away to more conventional suggestion of the features, which, Mr. Taft declared, showed true grace and academic knowledge. Referring to cubism, Mr. Taft de- clared that all sculptors work out their models in “planes” before they carry the work to completion. “And that's why,” he said, “I always refer to cubism as an example of ar- rested development.” Mr. Taft took occasion to refer to the current exhibition of Belgian works at the Corcoran Gallery of Art with bitter sarcasm. “Extremes in Atrocities.” “We heard a great deal about the atrocities committed in Belgium during the war,” he observed, “but until these things which you can’ see now at Cor- coran Gallery came over here, I am afraid we really didn’t know to what extremes atrocities had gone in that un- fortunate country.” * Much of the extreme modern art, Mr. Taft sald, was a reaction to over- training. “Too many of our artists today are reverting to the efforts of children in their portrayals,” he contended, “but I, for one, never liked child imitators.” Mr. Taft opened his lecture with a series of views of works by Rodin, and in the course of his talk he frequently harked back to those sculptures in mak- ing unflattcring comparisons of tire modernists’ efforts with those of the master, who, he said. was the unchal- lenged leader in his field.
