NEW YORK, August 1.-Govern- mental ownership of buildings rather than leasing was outlined yesterday by | ‘Acting Secretary of the Treasury Mills as one of two primary ajms of the large | Federal building program. | The other he described as provision for “an unrivaled opportunity for car- rying out on a magnificent scale the plans originally laid out for the develop- ment of the National Capital” in estab- lishing an adequate Government plant in Washington. Mills spoke at the laying of the cor-| ner stone for the New United States as- say office. He sald there were “good | business reasons for the disposal of the | old assay office.”” The new one, he said “coincided with the inauguration of a comprehensive building progarm” to provide proper housing for all Federal | activities. “The day is not distant when those of our citizens who visit Washington will see one of the finest and most at- | tractive capitals in the world,” Mills said, adding “this is as it should be. The dignity and power of government are entitled to an_adequate setting. “All told, the Federal Government will expend about $700.000.000 on its countrywide program, of which about $500.000,000 has already been definitely allocated to specific projects. | ‘Our own State and city have not fared badly. No less than 163 build- = ings. costing $84,000.000 have been = recommended for New York State. | while expenditures of $47.000.000 have been allocated to new buildings in New York City.” Wildred Hunt, radio’s crooning con- tralto, will assist Wiflam Wirges and his orchestra in presenting the Paint Olub program tonight over WRC and a network of other National Broadcast- ing Company stations * Miss Hunt's contributions will be two popular numbers—“I'm Through With love" and “Must Have Love.” The orchestra also will play a group of popular melodies. Two compositions of Lisat—"Hun garian Fantasy” and “Liebestraum will be featured by Erno Rapee and his svmphony orchestra in the Electric Hour. Sarasate’s “Zigeunerweisen” will complete the program.
