BALTIMORE, April 10.—Maryland's immediate past Governor, Albert C. Ritchie, today had aligned himself in the front rank of critics of the New Deal. former executive stepped out of his semi - retirement again last night to' predict “na- members of the Ex-Gov.

Cites Right to Criticize. ‘The former Governor asserted he could not help but be *“concerned” over much of the Federal legislation, “that now is emanating from our Na- tional Capitol.” He sald he did not “think it necessary to agree with everything that comes out of Wash- ington to be a good American citizen.” “A few years ago,” he continued, “it wouldn't even have been necessary for me to say that—and it wouldnt be necessary now, if it were not for the fact that many of the people in Wash- ington seem inclined to speak harshly of those who don’t put the full stamp of approval on the whole program they are undertaking. “I admit, for one, that I am as strong an advocate of independent local self-government as I was in the days when I was fighting against the eighteenth amendment. And I am just” as sure now as I was then that nothing but the continued right of independent self-government can put any program over. Sees National Bankruptey. “The incessant steady stream of money that is pouring out of Wash- ington is a continuous menace to gov- ernment everywhere—and if the pres- ent scale of spending is allowed to go on uninterrupted, then there is nothing to apprehend at some time in the future but national bankruptey. “Furthermore, if the demands by the Federal Government upon the States to keep pace with this rate of spending are to continue, then there is nothing to ipnrehend but State bankruptcy as well.” Defying the Government’s right to lobby in the Maryland State House, he said: “By what right does the Federal Government come in and demand that Maryland pass a State recovery act and by what right does it send Federal officials down to Annapolis to lobby in the State House, urging our duly elected representatives to pass some law that the people of Maryland do not want? “This is a free State and its Gen- eral Assembly is entitled to pass State laws only. It ought not to be domi- nated by the Federal Government in the free exercise of that right.” Urges Balanced Budget. ‘He asserted that “it has gone so far that the State can't take over its own expenses, and State after State can't see anything to do but to join in the procession, depending on the Federal Government for the continued flow of money to keep up the programs it has leunched.” The “beginning of the remedy,” the former Governor declared, is & “bal- anced budget” on the part of the Na- tional Government. He said he was speaking as a pri- vate citizen and that he was “damned proud” to be a private citizen of Maryland and of the United States. “But I wouldn’t be proud and you wouldn't be proud, either,” he con- tinued, “Iif those of us who raised our voices against the eighteenth amendment didn’t raise them against anything that threatens to imperil the precious liberty and the righteous freedom of the independent business man who made this country what it is today.” PUPILS TO PRESENT REVUE AND MINSTREL Jefferson Junior High Entertain- ment Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday.

Appomattox Restoration Abandoned CAPITOL PROJECT Proposed Monument Never to Be Erected Because of Old Sores It Opened. If proposals of the Appomattox Memorial Association materialize, Appomattox Court House, which burned years ago, will be restored exactly as it was when this photograph was taken during the War Between the States. Grant ever meet again on the fleld they chose for ending The War Between the States 70 years ago on April 9. A proposal for an Appomattox me- morial monument, showing them as they appeared the day “Marse” Rob- ert surrendered his ragged Confed- erate Army, has been abandoned definitely and finally because of the old sores it opened. Several years ago Congress author- ized an appropriation of $100,000 for the monument, but the movemént got no further.

Joel Flood, former Virginia Repre- sentative, now serving as chairman of the Appomattox Memorial Park Asso- ciation, says the proposed monument “is definitely out,” but that prospects are good for restoration of the battle- field into a national park. He predicts Congress will pass a revised bill, eliminating the monu- ment and providing for the park. ‘The chief patron of the revised meas- ure is Representative Patrick Drewry of Petersburg, Va.

The park would embrace about 1,000 | acres which could be acquired from the owners without difficulty, says Flood. The site of the historic court house and jail is owned by Appo- mattox County, which is ready to do- nate it to the Government for park purposes. Plans for the park contemplate the restoration of the McLean Sur- render House, the court house and the old tavern, and the marking of Lee's and Grant's headquarters. | The McLean house was dismantled for removal to the Chicago World's | Fair in 1893, but it was never moved.

BY J. A. O’LEARY. Extension of the East front of the original section of the Capitol Build- ing—a project considered since 1863— will be carried out finally, if the House approves & bill passed by the Senate yesterday. :tx,m.ooo for the ‘{hk,f Congress are hopeful President will allocate funds for the project out of the work relief appro- priation. A subcommittee headed by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts drew up the report on the bill. Senator Connally told the Senate the purpose is to make the entire building harmonious in design, and to carry forward the wall and portico of the central portion in order to give the dome an adequate appearance of support. It is probably also that the central portion, now built of sand- stone, will be faced with marble to match the House and Senate wings. When the British captured the Capitol in 1814, Senator Connally said, the central portion was discolored and has to be painted at regular intervals. Wings Finished in 1865, The last important alteration in the design of the building was the con- struction of the north and south wings and the dome, which was carried out between 1851 and 1865, from designs by | Thomas U. Walter, then architect of the Capitol. The report on the pend- ing bill explains: i i “The dome, as then planned and executed, rests upon an octagonal base or skirting which overhangs the east wall approximately 15 feet 6 inches, in such a way that it rests on a void space apparently without support. It was not intended that this condition should be & permanent one. The re- ports and sketches left by Mr. Walter show that he proposed as the next step to carry forward the wall and portico of the central portion 50 as to give the dome an adequate appearance of sup- port. The advent of the Civil War in- terrupted the progress of the work be- ing carried on at the Capitol so that this modification was never carried out. The bullding in its present state, therefore represents an unfinished stage in the development of what was intended to be a complete and har- James O'Connor Roberts to Ad-|monious design * * ¢ dress Civic Relations Commit- tee Tuesday Evening.

David Lynn, present architect of the Capitol, has suggested some modi- fication in the plans. In addition to the exterior improvements, the plan would make available additional office rooms in the central portion of the building and corridor connecting the House and Senate galleries.
