COURT'S BUILDING NEAR COMPLETION Architect Inspects Decora- tions—Furniture to Be Ready for Fall Term. The work of making the Supreme Court’s new building a thing of perma- | nence and beauty is going on un- interrupted toward its scheduled com- pletion by October 3. John R. Rockhart of the archi- tectural firm bearing his name and that of Cass Gilbert, jr, was in Washington yesterday, directing some phases of interior decorating and furnishing. He inspected ceiling dec- orations in the first floor corridors and suggested certain revisions. The decorative work will be finished within & few weeks, Rockhart said. Made-to-order furniture, designed by Rockhart, is being fashioned by about half a dozen manufacturing concerns and will be installed by the time the court meets this Fall. The pieces are of the early American type and mostly of walnut. In the court room and the justices’ chambers, however, will be mahogany furniture. To overcome possible ringing and reverberating effects in the marble- walled court room, the space between the lofty columns will be draped with silk velvet curtains. Carpets and up- | holstery also will help absorb any | jarring acoustic effects, Rockhart | said. | Massive marble groups to flank the} new building’s steps are near comple- | tion in the George A. Fuller Co. con- | struction sheds, Rockhart reported. | They were designed by James Earl Fraser, the sculptor of many similar pieces on new Government buildings. The Supreme Court clerk, marshal | #nd reporter already are occupying offices in the new buudlng KANSAS SIZE AREA LAID WASTE IN U. S. Survey of Duststorms and Water| Erosion Completed by Government. By the Associated Press. Duststorms and water erosion have laid waste in the United States an area nearly the size of Kansas, ac- cording to a Federal survey of the| situation. | The results of this “‘reconnaissance survey” of 1903,176620 acres, com- | pleted but not yet published by the Boil Conservation Service, classified 51,465,097 acres as stroyed by wind or water erosion in | 8o far as having further use for, crop production.” Most of this acreage, officials said, | had been cultivated and at one time was considered good soil. Emphasizing the seriousness of the problem, Morris L. Cooke, rural elec- trification administrator, said that if | “things go on as they are now, in 50 years we will have a total area of Teally fertile lands not much more | than three times the size of Nebraskl." Cooke spoke before the ’Summer | Institute of the School of Public Af- fairs at American University. | NEWSPAPERS MERGE Mount Vernon Daily Banner and Republican News Consolidate.
