Washington's yachtsmen want better facilities along the water front for themselves and their visiting colleagues, and have appealed to the National Cap- ftal Park and Planning Commission to aid them by includuanremedmt steps in the Port of Washington authority bill, to be introduced shortly in Con- ess. "Adflln 8izer. director of the Colum- bia Yacht Club, at Ninth and Water streets southwest, who describes him- | self as “one of the yachtsmen using the limited facilities of the Washington water front for this rapidly growing | recreational activity,” wants to know if “the present anchorage zone for | vachts in the Washington Channel, | mited by an obsolete act of Congress, | is to be enlarged.” Mr. Sizer said: limitations a visiting yacht is hounded out of the supply and purchasing zone | of the Washington Channel by the harbor police, and these yachtsmen Jeave Washington with anything but a | the ‘American good impression of the city “Washington is the only city of its size located on navigable waters in the | United States that does not maintain & municipal landing place for local as | well as visiting yachts.” Last Summer, =+. Sizer recalled, there were between 50 and 60 vachts in the anchorage zone here, filling it to capacity, as far as safety to the eraft is concerned. He complains that Pederal assistance is given to every other form of recreational activity ex- cept yachting, which yields a taxable Fevenue to the Government ‘Thomas G. Settle, secretary of the eommission, said today that he is sym- thetic toward the problem of the Pocal yéchtsmen, and wants to bring about “the greater use of the Potomac River for recreation as well as for commerce.” PROPERTY SEIZURE DURING WAR URGED Amendment Proposed by Collins of Mississippi Does Away With Compensation. By the Associated Press. Constitutional amendments to permit the Government to take private prop- erty without compensation during war and prohibit leans to foreign nations at war were proposed in the House yes- terday by Representative Collins (Demo- erat), Mi Ippi.

ENGINEERS ATTACK HOUSE ECONOMY Nation's Gauging Program Held Threat- ened by Policy. ‘That the retrenchment policy of the House threatens to cripple the Nation's “Under the present | ;oo " o] gt roam-enuging. program and increase unemployment among civil engineers, and that it_is incon- | sistent in view of other “egislation passed, was charged in a statement by Engineering Council yesterday. The statement points out that the House trimmed the Interior Depart- ment appropriation bill from $69.- 000.000 to $50,000,000, and that two weeks after this action was taken passed a measure authorizing $132,- 000.000 for emergency road work. “The Senate Committee cn Interior Department Appropriations has reported out H. R. 8397." said the statement. “and has increased the items for mmgm: mapping by $100,000, g the apparent amount for mext year $616,000, as recommended by the Budget. “However, the bill carries over a sup- pesed unexpended balance of $150,000, but there is not this much left unex- pended at this time for State co-opera- tive mapping, and it is very likely that this sum will be materially reduced by June 30, 1932. “This action is very disappointing, especially to civil engineers, who recom- mended that the amount of money to be expended for tnpolnfhlc maps be increased to several million dollars as an unemnloymem relief measure.” Mothers .ee Wntch Children’s COLDS 'OMMON head colds often “settle’” in throat and chest where they may become dangerous.
