18, ® PLANGROUPHEARS TRADEBOARD PLEA 13th Street Archway Into Triangle May Be Advocated by Commission. Under the chairmanship of Frederic A. Délano, newly elected iding offi- cér, the National Capital Park and Planning Commission .yésterday consid- éréd a wide range 6f subjects affecting the future of Washington. Outstand- ing among the topics laid before the commission was that of A traffic outlet southward at Thirteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, which officlally was brought to its attention by a dele- gation from the Washington Board of Trade in conjunction with plans for future development of the public build- ings program of the Federal triangle. Questions of zoning changes for apartment houses and alterations in the highway plans for the city were con- sidered by the commission, which au- thorized its staff to make further studies relating to the zoning proposals. It is expected that a report on this phase will be made at the January meeting. Suggest Memorial Changes. ‘The commission suggested certa changes in the model for the George ‘Washington Mémorial, to be erected on Seventh street below Pennsylvania avenue, after it had viewed the pro- posed structure In miniature. This program is in liné with a recent sug- @estion of the commission that models of buildings proposed, affecting the public interest, be made on the same scale, so that they may be assembled and give & bird's-éye view of their de- :‘!::pmrnt. in relation to other struc- ures. Official indorsement was given by the commission to the program, drawn up by its staff, for the proposed monu- mental entrance to Washington at Wis- consin avenue and the District line. It likewise sanctioned the proposed Fern street underpass at the Baltimore & Ohio _Rallroad tracks, near Piney Branch. Both of these matters, which have received the approval of the co- crdinating committee, will now go be- fore the District Commissioners for action. g J. A. Howard, real estate man, ad- vanced before the commission his pro- posal for the opening up of Oklahoma avenue, near the Natlonal Arboretum site at Mount Hamilton, and pointed out why, in his opinion, Maryland ave- nue should be extended s0 as to make anothér route to Baltimore. The com- mission took this program under ad- visement and will give further atten- tion to this development which it has baén studying in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture.

The commission officially was informed of | the present status of the inquiry. During the course of deliberation o the transit and traffic situation, the commission authorized the employment of special to assist its staff in mnflelb it should be found d sirable. t. E. N. Chisolm, jr., t commission’s engineer, explained ' that the tentative plan for the Mall develop- ment calls for arterial highways at Fifteenth, Fourteenth, Twelfth and Ninth streets, going under the four driveways on the Mall. This. he said, will obviate the necessity for grade crossings at those points and will care for 40 per cent more traffic, it is esti- mated, than at present. ‘The commission authorized its staff to redraw the plans for the street Ylntem!nu crossing the Mua!l, in ti light of recent studies that have been made concerning them. May Recommend Archway. In connection with the movement of the Board of e to prevent the blocking of Thirteenth street at Penn- -sylvania avenue, the commission, it was indicated, probably will recommend the creation of an automobile archwa: as a continuation of Thirteenth street into the heart of the triangle. Plans for the proposed archway were revealed by Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, vice chairman and executive officer of | the commission, but he emphasized to the Trade Board delegation that he would not promise definitely that (his would be recommended by the com- | mission. ‘The proposed arch, according to Col. | Grant, would be constructea In tue | Government bullding to be _erected across Thirteenth et at Pennsyl- vania avenue. No facilities will be vided, however, for traffic passing all the way through the triangle develo) ment. The passageway would mercly constitute A means of éntering the tri- angle area. The present plans call for a similar archway on the south side from B street. The two roadways will not meet, however, being séparated by the parkway of an interior eourt, thus pre- venting the passage being of much value to through traffic, advocates o6f & through street assert. Since the accommodation of traffic traveling from the commercial district of southwest Washington to the busi- ness and residential sections to the north was one of the principal aims of the Board of Trade in their fight against the closing of Thirteenth street, little would be gained, from their point of view, if the Flnnnln[ commission follows the line of action indicated by Col. Grant. The passageway under the building, it is thought, would be used only by employes working in those buildings opening on the court between Pennsyl- vania avenue and B street and south of the intersection of Thirteenth street and the Avenue. The Trade Board submitted a trafic count to sustain its ition. Col. Grant commended the board on the thoroughness of the investigation into the traffic situation and requested the organization to make a study of the arking conditions in _the triangle area or the commission. This will be done. KNIFE DEATH PROBERS FAIL TO VOTE CHARGE Grand Jury Investigating Stabbing of Girl Recesses Without Returning Indictment.

Venturing forth into the Rhighways and byways of the world to secure her | copy, Miss Gertrude Brooke Hamilton, | short story writer, author of many | beautiful poems, some of which have been put to music, and winner of the 1928 popularity prize awarded by a large national magazine, always returns to her home city, Washington, to bring to life in her stories the characters which she has met in her travels. | Although Miss Hamilton's stories have been chuckled over and wept over by thousands of Washingtonians, few readers of the famous “Mahoney stories” realized that the Gertrude Brooke Ham- | ilton whose hame appeared as the au- thor had written them on a typewriter in her hotel apartmeint within the shadow of the Capitol dome. Born in Washington, Miss Hamilton boasts a long line of Washington an- cestors. Her grnt-gr ndfather, Judge Nathan @argent. while holding office | here as commissioner of customs, wrote | “Public Men and Events"; her grand- father, the Rev. Mark L. Olds, was a | rector of the historic eld church on | the Navy Yard: her father. Stanislaus M. Hamilton, as scholar and historian, gave a lifelong service to the Depart- ment of State. As a contemporary of Worthington Ford, Librarian of Con- grées, he edited “The Monroe Letters” and “The Letters to Washington.” 1In addition, Miss Hamilton’s mother, who | is her inseparable companion in her travels, has been a writer of juvenile storles. Early Signs of Genius. It is not to be wondered that with such a distinguished lterary geneology Miss Hamilton should have evinced signs of genius at & very early age. At the age of 7, while being rocked in her mother’s lap at bed time, she was read | a poem entitled “Twilight.” At the | conclusion of the reading her mother said: “Now, Gertrude, you compose something for me about “Midnight.” A moment's silence and the child replied: | “And even the breese is gone from the | trees, And night passes on to the dawn.” The mother knew her child was marked for a literary oareer. In the competition last year for the “popularity prize” offered by one of the large magazines, for the author con- sidered themost popular wiwer o1 short stories for that year, Miss Ham- ilton received an overwhelming majority of votes from readers of the magasine, against such acknowledged successes as Irvin Cobb, Larry Evans, Irving Bach- ellor, Coningsby Dawson, erson Hough, Kathleen Norris and a number of others senior to her in years and literary experience. A screen version of Miss Hamilton's story, “The Hushed Hour,” appeared in moving pictures several seasons ago, starring Blanche Sweet and Milton | Preparations are now under way | for the screen production of her “Ma- | honey” stories, which Miss Hamilton hopes will have its premier in this city.

T. Williams Was Object of, Nation-Wide Search Last Summer. Lucian T. Willlams, 56 years old, contractor, who disappeared here I Summer and became the object of a Nation-wide search for six weeks, died yesterday afternoon of & heart attack at his home, 5801 Fifth street. He was pronounced dead when taken to Walter Reed Hospital. Mrs, Willlams, with Gilbert and Har- riett Willlams, their children, were in the room when Mr. Williams was stricken. He is survived by two other children, Francis and Laura Williams. Mr. Williams was & member of the Myron M. Parker Lodge of Masons, a Shriner and a member of the Doug- las Memorial Methodist Church. Fu- neral arrangements are pending. On last July 13 Mr. Wi from sight and no trace of him was had until August 23, when he returned to his residence, fll from lack of food and from the hardships he had encountered during his absénce. He told a story | of abduction, robbery and loss of mem- ory, saying he recalled his ideintity in| Chicago four days previously and had | hitch-hiked home. Mr. Williams had gone to the Mount Vernon Bavings Bank to draw about $300, and was accosted by three men who asked him to give an estimate on a job, he said. He met them later at Ninth and L streets to drive out to the site. While driving there in their sedan, he became suspicious and ques- | tioned them. That was the last he remembered of his identity until he awoke six weeks later in a Chicago hotel, his memory having been restored | by the crash of an elevator in a build- ing across the street, he related.

BY WILL P. KENNEDY. "he new lobbyists, experts and able men of affairs, connected with great national associations representing or- ganized groups, are a part of our rep- | resentative system. These groups must be understood and their place in gov- | ernment allotted, if not by actual leg- | 1slation, then by general public realiza- | tion of their significance. Just when daily explosions are com- {ing from the Senate lobby investigating ! cemmittee and when the entire country \is wrought up over the fact that a |coat of tar and feathers is being ad- | ministered tdiscriminately to the en- tire horde of “lobbylsts,” so called, where so often in the past a coat of whitewash has been given to the warst offenders among them, comes this con- clusion in a comprehensive report on “Group Representation _Before Con- gress,” written by Dr, E.

The new lobby, the report says, rep- resents a healthy democratic develop- | ment. ‘They have been forced to take | the political structure as they found it. certain | administrative and judicial tribunals to | deal with the new interrelations of | men that have resulted from easier | communication, but the fact that men |have interests in common othet th: | those bred by living in the same vi- initv has been ignored in the structure f the representative branch the Government, Dr. Hefring's re | phasizes. | Entirely extra-legal and non-consti- | tutional, the attempts of these national organizations to influence - legislation | have been baligned and misunderstood, he points out. The word “lobby.” un- fortunate {n connotations, is by no means a word of opprobrium. There have been all kinds of lobbyists, both corrupt and incorruptible. = But in- fluencing legislation by unofficial means is & process little understood—and | hence distrusted. The térm “lobby” is used in this report of the Institute for Government Research in no invidious sense, but simply as a designation to indicate those who attempt to influehce the course of legislation in an unoffi- cial and non-governmental capacity. ‘These national associations in their lobby activities “are a part of our rep- resentative system, and yet due to their heritage from the old lobby they bear the taint of illegitimacy,” he points out. “These groups must be welcomed for what they are, and certain precau- tionary regulations worked out.” Bomie of the most prominent of the great associations that have main- tained lobbies here to influence group legislation are discussed in separate chapters of the report, such as “Am- bassadors of American Bukiness,” the | Chamber of Commerce of the United | States, and the trade association: | “The Embattied Farmers” “Th resentation of Organized Labo eral Empolyes’ Union: “The Profes- sional Societies,” “Assoefations of Or- ganized Women,” “Forces of Organized Reform.” “The Natlonalists and Internationalists.”” This is suppl mented with a long list of organizations having representatives in the Caplital, illustrative of the great humber and va- riety of interests that maintain spokes- men or support offices here. Contact Found Fgsential. It is emphasized in tifs volume that Washington is the latter-day Mecca of these various national groups with com- mon_interests because here is the seat of Government and being the chief news center of the world, the channels of propaganda are wide open. Contacts with the Government have been found essential to gruup welfare. The unsavory reputation and the anathematized methods of the old lobby are discussed at length with quotations from noted writers of the times—Wood- row Wilson, James Bryce on “Vam- pires.” “Uncle Joe” Cannhon, Ben Per- ley Poore. Channing's History, David Graham Phillips, Willlam Allen White and many more recent writers.

It is to them that he turns for support and co-operation, and it is a rare point of view, indeed, that does not find among them some society or na- tional association that is not already sponsoring whatever the most fértile mind of man can conceive. “There have always been organized groups, fraternal, religious, social and economic. There have ngpnrea from time to time in the history of the country various minority pelitical par- ties, such as the Populists. the Green- backers and the Know-Nothings, which have arisen in advocacy of scme specific principle or some narrow program. “‘The organizeéd groups to which the voters turn today partake of the char- acter of both the typical ‘society’ and th> minority ?nrly. They resemble the former in that they have a listed mem- bership, duly elected officers, dues . to pay, meetings to attend and a continu- ous existence. They resemble the latter in that they have a direct interest in certain phases of politics, a policy tos wards the Government, and often a definite program to be obtained at the hands of the legislators. In their sup- port of a particular policy and })flln! of view they act in the capacity of a rep- resentative agency towards the Govern- ment. Their whole raison d'etre is predicated upon a principle, either al- truistic or selfish, and success means nothing unless it is the success of this interest. Examples of such organiza- tions are known to every one: The Anti-Baloon League, the Chamber of Commerce of the United Slates, the W. C. T. U, the National Grange and the League of Nations Non-Partisan Asso- ciation are among the more familiar. Groups Well Organized. “Within very recent years these totips have iricreased and multiplied. lore important still, they have become highly organized and are today con- ducted by shrew and capable leaders. Now, because of improved means of communication, these groups, ho longer | hindered by geographical limitations, | are organizing on a national and even world-wide scale. They are assuming a place of first importance in the ex- prassion of public sentiment. They rep- Tesent compact and determined groups, who know what they want and how they want it. In their methods, in their numbers and in their influence they are becoming a problem in repre- | sentative government. “They constitute & development which should be considered in the light of the accepted theory of representa- | tion. These organized groups approach the individual from an angle that is at variance with the viewpoint accepted by current theory. The attitude of the party toward the voter is in harmony with orthodox ideas of representation; the political party treats him as a citi- zen with a national point of view.” ‘The new lobby is called “the third House of Congress” by Dr. Herring in his report. “The Washington offices of the associations, socleties, leagues, in- stitutes, boards and federations organ- ized on a Nation-wide scale today form | the great lobbies in the Capital” he says. “By comparison the representa- tives of corporations, the patronage brokers, the ‘wire pullers,’ the crowd of old-style lobbyists ?nle into insig- nificance.
