WORKBEGINSSOON| [ Neutrality ONGATHEDRALUNI Constiuction of . Central - Crossing to Start This Spring. Plans are complete, it was announced yesterday, for the construction of the central crossing of Washington Ca- thedral, and actual work is scheduled to begin this Spring. The importance of the present pro- gram is manifested in a statement by Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, to the effect that it will add approximately 800 seats to the existing facilities for the accom- modation of congregations. In terms of iconographical symbol- ism, the crossing signifies a sacred portion of the cross. Architecturally, 1t represents the jointure of the tran- septs, the choir and the nave. The location is directly under the central tower. Gift From Anonymous Donor. A generous gift by an anonymous donor has provided the major part of the money needed for construction costs, and the remainder of the total sum has been assembled from many small contributions and several un- designated bequests. . Supporting the beautiful vaulting which is the principal feature of the crossing will be four majestic stone piers, three of which are memorials to Henry Vaughan, first architect of the Cathedral; Henry White, late Ambassador to France and American delegate to the Conference of Ver- sailles, and Charles C. Glover, one of the original sponsors of the Cathe- dral Foundation, who died last week. The last pillar of the quartet is a gift from Dr. William C. Rives, Ca- thedral trustee for life. Lantern May Be Arranged. e Many tons of hand-wrought lime- stone will be used for the soaring and vaulted fabric. A lantern, to admit light from the lofty windows of the central tower, may be arranged. But whether that be the decision of the architect or no, the result will be a notable and distinctive addition to the Cathedral frame. Frohman, Robb and Little are re- gponsible for the design. Their draw- ings have been approved by Very Rev. G. C. F. Bratenahl, dean of the Ca- thedral and celebrated iconographist, whose retirement May 1 was an- nounced yesterday. Ticket-Fixing (Continued From First Page.) fourth of the first month's total had been killed. In many cases where a ticket has been canceled, Prettyman said, the word “fixed” is a misnomer. The two principal instances of this, he explained, are where the prose- cutor refuses to make out papers be- | cause he does not think the evidence supports the charge, and where a charge has to be molle prossed be- cause the prosecution witnesses do ¢not appear to testify, or, in testifying, change the statements they gave originally. Cases such as these, he declared, account for many of the canceled tickets, and cannot fairly be classed as “fxing.” Bureau Must Keep Record. Tickets also are canceled in the Traffic Bureau, but the Commission- ers have required that a record be Kkept there similar to the one initiated by the corporation counsel, and this has led to a corresponding decrease in the number of such cases. Officials and judges deny they are subject to continued pressure from Senators and Representatives whose friends or constituents are in trouble. One judge, who has served many years on the Police Court bench, said he has never been asked by a mem- ber of Congress to kill a charge. This judge said a number of members from time to time have taken an in- terest in cases pending before him, but he asserted they have never at- tempted to bring any pressure to bear to secure special consideration. There is one time-established prac- tice, however, which is something of a nuisance to the prosecutors. In a great many cases when a friend or constituent asks a member of Congress to intercede in his behalf the latter agrees to write a letter to the pros- ecutor. , This is done, and the prosecutor duly replies that after an investigation, he finds there is nothing that can be done for the offender. The Senator or Representative then shows this letter to the constituent as proof that he has at least made an effort in his behalf. The constituent usually is satisfied and pays his fine. The Congressman, of course, didn’t expect the prosecutor to do anything about the letter and the latter knew it. Another well-established practice in Police Court is for lawyers represent- ing clients charged with the more serious offenses to wait until they can get the case before a judge they believe will be inclined toward leni- ency. This results in considerable jug- gling and postponing of cases. It is a matter, however, that rests within the discretion of the judges and is difficult to correct without depriving the judges of the power to grant con- tinuances entirely. Leniency Sometimes Just. Prettyman does not believe prose- cutors should be deprived of the au- thority to cancel tickets if they be- lieve the circumstances warrant. The remedy, he said, is to see that this discretion is not abused. He cited an instance during the re- cent heavy snowstorm when snow was piled in against the curbs, making it virtually impossible for motorists to park within the required distance. Despite this condition, one policeman ticketed several blocks of parked cars. When the circumstances were brought to light all of these tickets were can- celed. 3 “In cases like this,” Prettyman said, “the prosecutor should have discre- tion to refuse to issue information papers. It would work an obvious in- justice to compel these motorists” to go into court and individually prove the extenuating circumstances. The trouble begins when those in charge start canceling tickets for little o no |- reason, but this is an evil which can be corrected by close supervision of all cancellations.” French Writer Will Speak.

And whereas section 1 of a joint resolution of Congress extending and amending the joint resolution ap- proved August 31, 1935, which was ap- proved February 29, 1936, provides as follows: “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States | of America in Congress assembled, that section 1 of the joint resolution (public resolution numbered 67, Sev- enty-fourth Congress) approved Au- gust 31, 1935, be, and the same hereby is, amended by striking out in the first section, on the second line, after the word ‘assembled,’ the following words: ‘That upon the outbreak or during the progress of war between,’ and inserting therefor the words: ‘Whenever the President shall find that there exists s-state of war be- tween’; and by striking out the word ‘may’ after the word ‘President’ and before the word ‘from’ in the twelfth line, and inserting in lieu thereof the word ‘shall’; and by substituting for the last paragraph of sald sec- tion the following paragraph: ‘Ex- cept with respect to offenses com- mitted, or forfeitures incurred prior to May 1, 1937, this section and all proclamations issued thereunder shall not be effective after May 1, 1937.""

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. (Seal). By the President: CORDELL HULL, Secretary of State. Neutrality (Continued From First Page.) on the vessels of any belligerent except at their own risk. “By the resolution I have just signed the operation of the August resolution is extended and strength- ened until May 1, 1937. A new and definite step is taken by providing in substance that, when an embargo be- comes effective, obligations of any belligerent government issued ter the date of the proclamation shall not be purchased or sold in this country and no loan or credit extended to such government, but with authority to the C. Executive, if our interests require it, of legal transactions. In additfon, in general, exempts the other repufllu of this hemisphere from the operation of the law. promptly on October 5, 1935, I issued & proclamation which made effective the embargo with respect to exporta- tions to Italy and Ethiopia, and I have now issued a new proclamation in order to meet the requirements of the new enactment, “The policies announced by the Sec- retary of State and myself at the time of and subsequent to the issuance of the original proclamation will be maintained in effect. It is true that the high moral duty I have urged on our people of restricting their ex- ports of essential war materials to either belligerent to approximately the normal peace-time busis has not been the subject of legislation. Neverthe- less, it is clear to me that greatly to exceed that basis, with the result of earning profits not possible during peace, and especially with the result of giving actual assistance to the car- Tying on of war, would serve to mag- nify the very evil of war which we seek to prevent. This being my view, I renew the appeal made last October to the American people that they so conduct their trade with belligerent nations that it connot be said that they are seizing new opporunities for profit or that by changing their peace-time trade they give aid to the continua- tion of war.” BERRY CALLS MEETING OF COUNCIL MARCH 12 Business-Labor Group to Hear Reports and Make Recom- mendations to President. By the Associated Press, George L.
