P.W. A AID SOUGHT FOR ‘GUARDS' HERE Commissioners Purpose to Ask Funds to Build New D. C. Home. Use of public works funds for con- struction of a home for the District National Guard was proposed today by the Commissioners. Secretary of War Dern was asked to lend support to the movement, the Commissioners stating they under- stood & 100 per cent grant for such a project was possible under the terms of the new work relief act. Now Quartered in Hotel. National Guard officials and civic workers have been campaigning for years for adequate housing for the Na- tional Guard, which now has quarters in the old National Hotel. The Commissioners took note of this movement in their letter to Secretary Dern. They said: “The Commissioners of the District understand there will be an allotment from funds in the new works bill from which National Guard armories may be constructed over the United States under 100 per cent grants. Consideration Sought. “The National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia has for a long time been without suitable quarters and the Commissioners desire to have you know that any consideration which you can give to the inclusion of the National Guard of the Districs of Co- lumbia in the list of armories under the new works bill will meet with our entire approval.” The works bill carries a stipulation that no part of the money shall be used for munitions, warships or mili- tary or naval material, but states, “This proviso shall not be construed to prevent the use of such appropria- tion for new buildings, reconstruction of buildings and other improvements in military or naval reservations, posts, | forts, camps, cemeteries or fortified areas, or for projects for non-military or non-naval purposes in such places.” | SURVEYS SHOW UPTURN IN BUILDING OPERATIONS 83 Applications for Construction Permits Filed in Last Two Weeks. Prospects of a sizable increase in | building operations were seen today by District Surveyor Edward A. Dent in a rise in applications for surveys and for building permits in the past two weeks. Sixty-three applications for build- ing permits were filed in the past two weeks, as against 42 in first two weeks of March. Applications for repairs showed a like increase. March showed the highest number of survey applications since 1925, Dent said. For the first two weeks of this month this work exceeded the March level. From last July 1 to April 1, he said, fees paid for surveys amounted to $22,000, as compared with $12,000 for the preceding July 1-April 1 period. TWO NATIONS HELD SANE Legal Adviser Says Only China and U. S. Not War Mad. China and the United States are the only nations in the world which are politically sane, Paul M. Linebarger, legal adviser to the National Govern- ment of China, told the Men's Club of the Covenant Presbyterian Church | last night. All the other nations, Linebarger said, are war mad and will remain so until their people have a greater share of responsibility in their own govern- ments. Declaring communism to be the “public enemy” of the whole world, he predicted that a rational aversion to war will be bred in the next genera- tion.’ EASTER PICTURE Y % S Pt h —seen in the shops, worn on the fashionable avenues.
