ROTEST against the “vandal- P ism” which he declared is| “making & barren waste” out of the beautiful Mall park- way and old Botanic Garden site, which “Nature has taken a cen- tury or more to produce,” Representa- tive Dan Reed, Republican, of New York reopened in the House late yesterday the much debated question of whether | the formal plateau effect is preferable | to the rolling and wooded park. Rep- | resentative John J. Boylan, Demo- | crat, of New York defended the im- | provements. “1f you will take the time to go out on the plaza of the Capitol and look toward the Washington Monu- ment,” said Representative Reed, “you will see that a beautiful park | EVENTH So many requests came to us, by mail, phone and in per- son, our buyer went out in search of more shirts of the .same high quality and same wonderful values.

Trees’ Removal Assailed Representative Reed of New York Reopens House Debate. has been converted into almost a' Halais D: ~C:; - WEDNESDAY, barren waste. That park contained trees that have stood there for three- | quarters of a centary, some of them for a century. Many of the trees destroyed were the rarest specimens to be found in any capital city in the world. Trees stood there under which Lincoln and other notable statesmen have walked. That park has been the joy and inspiration of literally countless millions of people who have | come here ,and yet the Fine Arts Commission, I understand, has been responsible for cutting down these beautiful trees, rooting them out, and sawing them into cordwood. “I feel it is an indefensible act, and that Congress ought to have pre- vented it. Most of the damage has been done. How many more trees the commission plans to take out of the | Botanic Garden or to take out even of Th MAY - 1,-1935.. .- the Capitol Park no one knows. I think this House should take an in- terest in the situation and not allow the commission to run riot and de- sttoy what it has taken nature a century or more to produce. Chat is all I want to say on the subjoct. I rose to bring the mater to the attention of the House, because it is a piece of vandalism that is abso- lutely inexcusable. As I say, have made a beautiful spot into almost | & barren waste.” Representative Eoylan pleaded for Congress standing behind the Presi- dent and waiting to see how the whole job looks when completed. “Mr. Reed complains about the trees being destroyed and about the condition of the land at the foot of Capitol Park, about its being all torn up,” said Representative Boylan. “To those members who have just come to Congress I would call attention to the fact that for many years we had the choicest collection of dumps on the | north side of Pennsylvania avenue | that the world has ever known. We had fortune tellers, gypsy headquar- ters, crystal gazers, one-arm lunch- rooms and various other decorative and artistic establishments.
