STRICT BUILDING " RULES FORECAST Study Leads to Belief Fine Arts Body Will Be Tribunal. A study of building conditions in Washington has led some of the Na- tion's leading architects to interpret the trend of thought in city planning as meaning that the Fine Arts Commis- sion, possibly in co-operation with other agencies, ultimately will be given legal veto, with police power, over the du{gn and color of all private bulldings in the District of Columbia. Charles H. Cheney of Los Angeles, chairman of the city and regional plan- ning committee of ghe American Insti- tute of Architects, thinks that Congress, in passing the Shipstead bill establish- ing such control over certain areas in Washington, has pointed the way to municipal control. and that in 10 years such control will be as common as zon- ing regulations are now. Bill Assures. Uniformity. The principles of the Shipstead bill, if ‘applied generally in the District of Columbia, would mean that the Fine Arts Commission would pass on every construction projected, whether public building or residence, thus bringing about in the District a unformity of architectural design now made certain for the property fronting on Pennsyl- vania avenue, Lafayette Square and cer- tain other Government projects. Commenting on the Shipstead bill, Mr. Cheney pointed out that in areas which are to be subject to Fine Arts Commission approval, “every buildin, will have to be good, and that part of the city will have a 100 per cent recozd, or nearly so." “This will substantially increase prop- erty values,” he said, “and invite much larger and better investments.” “We can all point to many cases of the destruction of property values, of neighborhoods ruined and = cherished homes abandoned bacause of the intru- sion of one or more off-color, ugly or inappropriately designed buildings. “Every investor, bank and lender of money, every honest home bullder in our cities has generally been at the mercy of the carefree, ignorant or viclous builder og:ntlng on the vacant lot next door. ery vacant lot in an unprotected neighborhood today carries a threat of ruin to its neighbors. ‘Washington Symbol of Nation. “So real is this ruin that it'is es- timated that over $3,000,000,000 worth of new building in the year 1929 was of this blighting character. The whole country looks with gflde and loyal in- terest to the émbellishment and devel- opment of the National Capital. This s as true of the person in the smalleet hamlet as it is of the resident of the largest cities. The people of Oklahoma, or of Chicago, Boston or Florida all picture Washington as their symbol of America. “It is always a shock to visitors to find Washington in any way below psr, tawdry or ugly, or of such bad color or so plastered with signs as to thwart and make negative the fine architecture that is going up. “Of course, in the towns they come from, including the large cities, as much as 90 per cent of the buildings in most places are ugly or bad architecture. So Washington, on the average, is ahead of the country; but it must be made to Talking It Over THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 25, 1930—PART ONE “Liquor Is No Longer an Integral Part of American Civilization.” BY A. M. SMITH. DETROIT, May 24.—The natlon-wide straw vote on enforcement, modifica- tion or repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment has turned out to be inconclusive, for the question was regarded as set- tled, not requiring a vote, in the opin- jon of Henry Ford. “Twenty million ballots were sent out and less than 5,000,000 were re- turned,” Mr. Ford remarked. “Of these, more than half were definitely on the side of some kind of anti-liquor legislation. . “It would be just as sensible to take a vote on the decisions of the Revolu- tionary War and the Declaration of Independence to determine whether this country should resume its former posi- tion as a British colony. You could probably get several million votes in favor of the proposition, but it would not represent the sentiment of the United States. “People are too busy, as well as too sensible to thresh over the straw of 10 vears ago. After 100 years of consider- ation they finally madé up their mind and acted. It is foolish to ask them to stage a mock vote on what they have already settled by a real vote. At least that is the way they apparently feel about it. ‘Women for Prohibition. “Most of us think that the people have the right to make their own laws; they have a Yl: t to expect that these laws will stand: they can’t be digging up the seed every day to see if it is growing. “When 20,000,000 blank ballots were mailed to citizens, it meant that only one-sixth of the people had a chance to vote, There afe that many women in the country and the women are for prohibition. “There is also the fact that a large proportion of our 120,000,000 people are not 21 years old, but I should think the opinion of many of the younger gen- eration on so simple a proposition as legalizing the manufacture and sale of booze would be worth more in shapin; the future trend of law and morals of the country than the opinions of many of the older ones who are set in their s. et the vast younger generation who would have to supply the saloon-fodder of the future were not consulted. “The States were positively repre- sented by the vote. Take Pennsylvania, for example. The straw vote made Pennsylvania look very wet—147,557 for enforcement; 136,233 for modification; and 243,063 for repeal, a total of 526,~ 853 votes. Comparison With Election. “But compare the straw vote with the 9,500,000 population. And then compare the straw vote with the overwhelming nomination of Gifford Pinchot for gov- ernor. Mr. Pinchot is a staunch ‘dry,’ pledged to dry up the State, and Penn- sylvania gives him more than $627,000 votes, Look at the vote given Secretary Davis, who is a ‘dry.’ These are true indications of where the people stand. “What impresses me is those 15,000,~ 000 blank ballots. You don’t have to get a vote to get an answer. Refusal to vote 1s an answer. Apparently only & little more than one-fifth of the adult citizens who had a chance to vote pald any attention to it. They considered it as_just a chaff vote. “T believe the whole matter originated in good intentions and was governed by every dictate of falrness. But there is something our publicists don't seem able to understand, and that is the settled state of public mind on these questions. ‘The booze question is settled. There are now other questions waiting for public action. “I don't mean that laws should never be amended or repealed. A future wiser generation, faced with different condi- tions than those which faced us, may adapt the laws to the different and bet- ter conditions which they will face, The operation of the present law concerning liquor will certainly give our descendants | ° much better conditions to deal with. But that action will never be initiated or precipitated by the straw vote method. Nothing to Do But Wait. “As I see it, we have nothing to do but wait the certain action of time. Liquor is no longer an-integral part of American civilization. There is no ground for discussion of that. “From now on, the talkers will talk: the wise will keep silent; and the con- dition itself will grow better and bet- ter. The terms ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ are both due to pass out of our language. Pro- fessionals on both sides are due to lose their jobs. “The game of getting the ‘drys’ ex- cited one week, and the ‘wets’ excited next week, is played out. All the ‘wets’ need is a little more rope—and they will accept the verdict of history. “That is what the abolition of a gov- ernment-protected business is—the ver- dict of history.” (Copyright, 1930. by the North American Newspaper Alliance.)

BERLIN (N.AN.A).—The anti- noise campaigners already are report- ing little victories on more than one front. In one hotel, at least, there has been a striking innovation. In lieu of the “buttons” summoning & guest to the telephone or bureau with all the youthful force of his lungs, & banner with the brave device, “Herr so-and-so wanted,” is perambulated about the public rooms. But in case patrons are too occupied to notice the modern “excelsior” going its rounds, it has been fitted with a tuneful, tinkling bell. This is generally preferred to the vocal efforts of former days. ‘The early-morning noises in Berlin do not emanate, as in many cities, from the melodious offices of milk distribu- tion, but rather from the beer cart and the dust cart.

Oil was noticeable on automobiles and windows as far as the north edge Dl';‘.ge city. . e gates at the well were closed after it had blown for about 15 min- utes. Oil men estimated the initial flow at from 25,000 to 30,000 barrels daily.

By the Associated Press. 5 CHICAGO, May 24—Expressing be- lief that a State-wide referendum on prohibition would ~neither helg nor hinder any particular candidate, former Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Demo- cratic candidate for the United States Senate, sald today he Belleved decision on the advisability of such a referen- dum should be left to the State committee. Proposal for such a vote had been made by A. J. Cermak, Democratic county chairman, but had been orpfl&!d by State Representative Michael Igoe, Democratic nationol committeeman. It was then agreed to leave the matter to Mr. Lewis. “The Democratic party is not a_wet party or a dry part; he said. “That is shown by the Southefn Democratic States and the Western Democratic States. The question is a personal one, and, as this is not a national elec- tion for President and no national form is proclaimed by any national convention, each candidate running on a national ticket will be on his own platform and his principles will be the ones adopted or rejected in‘each dis- trict as the people of that district feel. Such is the Democratic doctrine of government.” Discussing the New Jersey senatorial situation, Mr. Lewis said: , “I am gratified to see that Ambassa- dor Morrow, doubtless after consultation with his chief, President Hoover, coples the Illinois Democratic platform on the prohibition question.

REORGANIZES: COLUMBIAN BRANCH One Year of Graduate Study and Junior and Senior Courses to Be Given. Reorganization of Columbian College, the college of letters and sclences of the George Washington University, as the senior college, embracing the work of the junior year, the senior year and one year of graduate study, leading to the baccalaureate and master’s degrees, has been voted by the faculties, it is announced by Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president. This step is part of an educational program under which a junior college has been created to act as a “service” school underlying the work of the eol- leges and professional schools within the institution, as well as offering cer- tain courses. of study that naturally | terminate at the end of two years. | Through the junior college, George ‘Washington University is enabled to serve those who desire to undertake but two years of college work in preparation for their chosen vocation. The senior college, which will retain the name of Columbian College, will| offer advanced courses in letters and | sciences and one year of graduate study to round out the cultural background. New Type of Institution. As conceived within George Washing- ton University, the senior college is a |new type of institution, perfecting an educational organization toward which many of the leading institutions of higher learning are tending. An imj nt flrb of the develop- ment is the creation within the senior college of divisions of study with the curriculum departments grouped in ac- cordance with their content affinity, thus establishing co-operation of faculty members in related subjects which will bring the student in contact with fields of work rather than with a series of isolated courses. Attainment within fields of learning rather than education in terms of courses and credits is the ideal sought. There will be five major divisions of study—the division of language and language and literature, composed of the department of classical languages and literature, the department of Enj lish, the department of Germanic Jan- guages and literature and the depart- ment of romance languages and litera- tures; the division of mathematics and physical sciences, composed of the de- partment of chemistry, the department of mathematics and the department of ; the division of the natural sci- composed of the department of botany, the department of geology and geography, the department of psychol- ogy and the department of zoology; the ivision of the social sciences, composed | Per of the department of anthropology, the department of economics, the eyln- ment of history, the department o g:)- litical science, the department of phi- losophy, the deg‘nment of public speaking and department of sociology. Individual Study Plan. The final step in the development is the adoption of an individual study plan. ’rgmuh this plan the university enables the superior student to do in- dividual work in such fields as he may choose, under the immediate direction of the faculty members in that fleld and freed from the necessity of formal cless work. The transferring of the master degree to the senior college, where as a unit in cultural training it logicaMy belongs, frees the graduate school for the ad- ministration of the degree of doctor of philosophy, the professional research degree. Examinations in the university will| |be¢h1 on Thursday and will continue: The election will take place June 2 e — ——— ‘This sketch of a “Thinking Child” was executed in seven minutes by Charles Weber, member of the children’s Saturday class at the National School of Fine and Applied Arts, which now is conducting its fifteenth annual students’ exhibition.
