INDEPERDENCE DAY DIPLAY PLANNED Washington's celebration of Inde pendence day will culminate in perhaps the most spectacular display of fire- works at the Monument Grounds the evening of July 4 that people of the National Capital have witnessed for years. Plans for the display are now being perfected by the subcommittee in charge of firpworks, of which E. K Monument | Upper: The helicopter at Curliss Field.

For the first time at such displays in Washington, the committee is ar- ranging for seats to be placed on the north side of the Washington Monu- ment, so that those who may desire, may avoid standing or sitting on the ground to witness the fireworks. Seat Sale to Ald With Expenses. This plan will be made possible, it was said. by the National Capital Civic Fund, organized for the purpose of pro- viding funds for civic celebrations in the District of Columbia. The. trustees of this fund, including E. F. Colladay. | Frederic A. Delano, Joshua Evans, jr.: Robert V. Fleming, E. C. Graham Frank R. Jelleff. William Montgomery J. Murphy, Newbold Noyes, Julius I.| eyser and Mrs. Phillp Sidney Smith, have agreed to permit th: sale of | tickets for a certain number of seats to be placed on the morth side of the | Monument provided that the procesds | be used to defray the expenses of the fireworks and the actual placing of the seats, and that the balance, if any, be turned into the National Capital Civic Fund for future civic celebrations. The Office of Public Buildings and Public | Parks in the National Capital will also agree to this new plan, with the under- standing that the seats will b= placed in such position as will not interfere in any way with the view of the dis- play-to those standing or sitting on the grass. It is planned to provide bleacher seats at the top of the hillside, at the Monument, at 25 cents each, and to provide chairs at 50 cents each near the bottom of the hillside, with plenty of ‘intervening space for the many thousands of persons who will not oc cupy seats. “Tickets for the chairs will be placed on sale at convenient' places through- out the city beginning about the middle of this week. Due annouricement with- in the next day or two will be made of the various locations selected for the sale of tickets. The formal official ceremonies which | precede the fireworks the evening of the fourth at the Sylvan Theater on the south side of the Monument | Grounds will begin at 7:30 o'clock with s g:mcuc concert and following the otic program of the reading of the Betiaration of Independence and other features will close with some inspira- tional feature such as the massing of the colors, as in previous years. Seats | on: the south side for this ceremony will be placed there for the representa- |- tives of the Government and for in- vited guests of the city and will, of | course, not be on sale.

Extraordinarily large crowds. of visi- | tors are expected to come to Washington during the 10 months of the George Washington bi-centennial celebration in 1932 by Representative Sol Bloom of New York, who with Lieut. Col. U. S.' | Grant, 3d. is assoclate director of the bicentennial. Mr. Bloom does not believe that the reports of tremendous crowds coming here in the bicentennial year are ex- aggerated. He is canfident that the program, so far as this city is con- cerned, will be carried out without a| hitch. There is only one thing which this city lacks, in this connection, according to Mr. Bloom, and that is an important one, in view of the fact that the George Washington Bicentennial Commission is endeavoring to have every national and - iritérnational ‘organization in the land hold its annual convention in the National Capital in 1932, So far as the City of Washington is concerned there is only one difficult said Mr. Bloom. ashington does not have a suitable auditorium. In the National Capital we have the regrettable situation of a city of superior beauty and attractiveness to any other capital | in the world, in my opinion, and yet it acks the essential qualification ot A, meeting place for the Nation , Mr. Bloom seld e dt Tk g e disparage the auditoriums that.* are here, of which several are ““besutiful and ordiparily commodious.. meeting rl::e;i ‘E!utx he ’decllred that - the argest audltorium in Washingto: 6280 aRrsons, SRR & oW personally” “added Mr. Bloom, “of many graiz ory tion: that-would lke to meet Here, be unable to do 30 because of of @ suitable meeting place.

The National Geographic Society honored Rear Admiral Byrd and his gallant crew just back from the South Pole. President Hoover pre- sented Admiral Byrd with a medal and delivered an address.

Foreign na- tions will be invited to participate in the Nation-wide celebration. He will xplain to other governments that this is not to be a “world’s fair,” nor inter- national exposition, in the usual sense of that word, but that it will be devoted to bringing closer to the people of the United States and the world the real character, achievements and ideals of George Washington. ut will | I know this to | conyentions | latter, with a popula- has’ an suditorium | less than 300,000 | | population that has an auditorium seat- “It certainly would be | THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Mostly fair and continued warm today and tomorrow.
