Wash MUNICIPAL CENTER FUND APPLIGATION REFUSED BY ICKES Secretary’s Stand Leaves Little Hope for Early Action on Project. SAYS D. C. HAS SHARE OF BUILDING ACTIVITIES Also Cites Shortage of Office Space for Federal Employes in Washington. Administrator Ickes all but closed the door today on the application of the District Commissioners to start the long proposed Municipal Center by borrowing the $3,000,000 in P. W. | A. funds to erect three minor court buildings in Judiciary Square. It was with outspoken reluctance that the public works administrator explained he did not see how it would be possible for him to grant the application at this time. This state- ment, he implied, did not actually close the door against the project, but he a@ted he could offer little hope of any early action. “I know the District needs these court buildings badly,” Ickes said, “and I sincerely wish a way could be found to approve the project, but I can't just now.” States Reasons. He cited as his reasons the short- age of building space for Federal em- ington News 63 Dead, 2,353 Thirteen of the District’s 63 auto- mobile deaths thus far in 1935 have resulted in the car drivers being held for grand jury action. The grand jury returned indict- ments against six of these 13. One driver’s case has not yet been called. Two men have been charged with negligent homicide. Seven deaths were ascribed by po- lice to “carelessness of the deceased.” Three deaths were caused by hit- and-run drivers for whom police are still searching. The victims include seven children. The year's accidents total 5,155. For the same calendar period in 1934, the total was 4,281. However, there were 69 deaths at this time in 1934. 2,353 Injured.

MARYLAND AVENUE | CLOSED TO TRUCKS. Commissioners Heed Complaints | by Routing Interstate Vehicles on New York Avenue. Heeding pleas of residents along the street, the Commissioners today estab- lished a route for interstate trucks passing through the District so as to take them off of Maryland avenue northeast. Householders have complained the noise of trucks at night interrupted their sleep. The trucks are to be routed on New York avenue, where there are fewer residences. Southbound, the trucks are to be routed over United States route No. 1 or United States route No. 50 by way of Bladensburg road, and leave the District by the same routes. North- bound, the trucks will proceed over Highway Bridge and Fourteenth street southwest to D street southwest, east on D street, Maryland avenue, C street and Maryland avenue to Third street southwest, north on Third street to New York avenue and east on New York avenue and Bladensburg road to the District line. The Commissioners’ order contained & proviso that interstate contract- carrier motor trucks engaged in rtation of property, when re- celving or making deliveries in the District, may deviate from the pre- seribed route to a reasonable extent for the purpose of making District /ACCUSED FIRM FORFEITS Marilyns, Inc., 904 Fourteenth street, through Samuel E.

Blanton declared the bill to oe “the quintessence of socialism—their ris- ing sun and emblazoned moon ’ He charged the author with socialistic tendencies. Ellenbegen demanded that this statement be withdrawn, and Blanton did so atter considerable argument.

Representative Dirksen started ay argument cver the insanity provision, which was included by the Senate, but stricken out in the House Committee. How he offersd no amendment to have it reinserted. Representative Carter Democrat of Kansas explained away the objec- tion of Representative Palmisano, Democrat, of AMaryiara that the pas- sage of such a law would make the Capital a divorce nuli, stating that any one to qualify fcr a divorce would be compelled ‘> have 8 year's resi- dence in the Oistrict. In addition to adultery as grounds for absolute divorce in the present law, the bill as passed by the House adds three other grounds to liberalize the law—desertion for two years, vol- untary separation for five consecutive years without cohabitation, conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude with a sentence of not less than two years in a penal institution. Conforms to State Statutes. Representative Carpenter assured Representative Smith, Democrat, of Virginia that the bill was drafted to conform with the statutes of neigh- boring Maryland and Virginia. Ten of the 14 District bills awliting action were passed during six hours of acrimonious debate. Among these the Senate already has passed the divorce bill, but this must go back for Senate concurrence on House amend- ments. The Senate also has passed the bill regulating emission of smoke from buildings, vessels and steam locomotives, and the so-called prosti- tution bill. These two now await the President’s signature. Among the other bills passed by the House were: To improve the jury serv- ice, to give the colored Elks use of :fi% The hearings were to have eimd today, but were post- parks and Government gulpmmt during their national con- vention here 3 For various District agencies the| measure contains approximately $800.- 000, an increase of $217,000 over the House bill.

Another Senate amendment of in- terest to Washington is the provision for a new Federal Building for the General Accounting Office, to be placed on the square directly east of the Senate Office Building, at an esti- mated cost of $11,150,000, of which $2,000,000 is to be available this, year. e GROCERS PLAN OUTING ‘The Retail Grocers’ Association will hold its thirty-third annual excursion to Marshall Hall tomorrow, boats ledv- ing from the Seventh street wharf at 10 am., 2, 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. About 1,000 grocers, their families and friends are expected to attend the outing.

Pennsylvania Railroad to abandon its substation at Seventh and C streets southwest as soon as a suitable shelter- ed flag stop has been constructed. The four District measures still awaiting House action are: The rent- control bill, an amendment to the act covering employment of minors to allow children to take part in enter- tainments, a bill to raise the qualifica- tions of attorneys and a measure to place public vocational schools on & par with junior high schools. Mrs. Norton said she was especially anxious to get action on this voca- tional school bill. King Delays Bill Action.

The drive against traffic hazards, | meanwhile, was aided by House action | in approving a bill requiring semi- annual inspection of all vehicles in | the District. The Senate still must act on the measure. Registration cards will be revoked for cars failing to pass the tests, and cars driven after the revocation will make the owner or driver subject to a fine as high as $300, if enactment is completed. A plea for “sanity” in car operation was made this morning by Inspector B. A. Lamb, head of the Traffic Bu- reau: “Many accidents would be avoided if drivers would come down to earth and drive safely and sanely. Too many people speed instead of leaving for their destination a few minutes | earlier.” | The Board of Revocations and Restorations of Operators Permits of the Traffic Bureau reported this morning 218 permits were revoked or suspended from June 25 to July 20. Reports of the statistical bureau of the Police Department showed, be- tween July 14 and July 20, 3 traffic deaths, 80 injuries and 114 accidents in which property damage alone was suffered. $244,775 BID LOWEST The Research Corp. of New York yesterday submitted a low bid of '$244,775 to the Treasury Department for electric precipitation equipment in the Central Heating Plant here.

Woodward and representatives of three county civic bodies co-operating with him in development of the plan are arrang- ing for a meeting of representatives of all civic bodies in the county, to be held later in the week, for discus- sion of the whole matter. It is understood that the federation and the chamber hope to show Con- gress that the people of Arlington are behind the Arlington County Board in its opposition to the clos- ing of Military road until a substitute is provided. Board Chairman B. M. Smith and County Manager Roy S. Braden are to attend tonight’s meeting and ex- plain the position of the board on the McSwain bill, now pending in the House, for sale of Military road to Arlington county. Woodward said today he has take up with officials of the National Cap- ital Park and Planning Commission the matter of Federal construction of a substitute road around the airport. He explained that such a road will be a part of any comprehensive plan of development of approaches to the National Capital and should be con- sidered as a part of the Federal pro- gram of development. Consideration also will be given to the possible effect of the opening of a section of the proposed riverside drive between the Arlington Memorial Bridge and Key Bridge, along the Virginia shore of the Potomac. Bids for this drive are to be opened Thurs- day by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. — MRS.

This explains why the disease can ve caught from apparently healthy sdults as well as from sick children.” UTILITIES BODY ORDERS NEW TRACK ‘CROSSOVER’ Installation to Be Made on Four- teenth Street North of Con- stitution Avenue.
