MUNICIPAL CENTER SPED REESTED Engineer Society Official Asks Beginning of First Unit to Aid Conditions. A plea for the immediate construc- tion of the first unit of the proposed Municipal Center project, in “the in- terest of employment, economy AN absolute need,” was made today by F. H. Newell, chairman of the Committee on Unemployment of the Washington Bociety of Engineers. Mr. Newell said: “Por many years certain departments of the District government have been inadequately housed. This applies par- ticularly to the units of the District government that the former Board of | Commissioners had in mind when the architectural plans were completed for the first building unit of the Municipal Center on the east side of John Mar- shall place. The building is planned to house the Police Court, that is a dis- grace to any ordinary city, not to speak of the Nation’s Capital; the Municipal Court and the Juvenile Court. both housed in temporary buildings: the re- corder of deeds, occupying congested quarters in a rented building: the Police Department, now occupying a temporary building on Indiana avenue, witich previously occupied for many years the basement of the District Build- ing. and the Traffic Bureau. that was housed until recently in one of the tem- porary oulldings in the Poli Theater block on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue. It does not need any particular argu- ment that these units of a municipal government should be brought together and adequately housed in a single build- ing. for which plans have already been made. The building can now be built for considerably less than was originally estimated. The Senate Appropriations Committee has included the sum of $778,000 for the fiscal year 1933 to begin construction work, the House Commit- tee on Appropriations having denied any construction money in the bill as sent to the Senate. “The District taxpayers have bought practically all the land in the four squares necessary to own the property. wHich will in years to come develop finally into a large municipal center. There is no necessity at the present to consider building a second unit to care for the occupants of the District Building. which need n done until the Federal Government sig- nifies its purpose to take over the latter building for its uses. “It is highly desirable, it is necessary for economy and efficiency reasons, and it will help relie employment in the District, if this building above described is provided for in the District appropriation bill now n conference in Congre: - FARMERS LAUNCH SHIP TO GIRD WORLD 34-Foot Vessel “Manned” by Three Men and Three Women. | NEWCASTLE, New South Wales (). —Manned by a crew of three men and three women, the ship Gullmarn, 34| feet long with & 14-foot beam, has| started on a voyage around the world. | The ship, a former Swedish pilot boat, is making for London by way of | the Torres Straits, the Indian Ocean | and the African Coast. | The party includes Mr. and Mrs, Sedley Metcalf of Sydney, Miss Rene Saxby, Mrs. B.

CHICAGO, June 21 (NANA)-—| With a rallying cry of “prosperity must start from the farm” the farmers of Tilinois have joined a Nation-wide movement for economic independence of American agriculture, vhich will be climaxed in a militant manner July 4 in mass meetings in every rural community in the Nation as a feature of the George Washington Bicentennial observance. i Preparation for the huge demonstra- | tion of unity of the Nation's farmers was made for this State at a meeting in Decatur, where the vociferous inter- ests of the State's agrarians carried the leaders of the movement ‘off their feet” by their insistent demands of “let’s go." | Earl C. Smith, president of the Illi-| nois_Agricultural Association, has gone to Washington to carry the word of the | united _action of the farmers of this | State for a modernized observance of the 200th anniversary of “Farmer” | George Washington and another cele- bration of the “Boston tea party of agriculture” to the lawmakers there. Launched by Federation. 1 The movement was launched some weeks ago by the American Farm Bu- reau Federation, which announced President Hoover's indorsement of the demonstrations in connection with the Bicentennial celebrations. Pageants featuring Washington's contributions to the achievements of agriculture will form a princip:l part of many programs that are being arranged The celebration will serve notice to Congress and to the world that or-| ganized farmers have the numerical strength to make their demands felt wherever the love of liberty is a vital factor in representative government, ac- cording to the leaders of the movement. “Let it be the celel ton tea v of THE EVENING STAR.
