A site on the south side of the Tidal Basin facing northward toward the Washington Monument virtually has | been selected as the site of the $3.- /000,000 memorial to Thomas Jefferson, | third President of the United States. This location was favored by mem- | bers of the Thomas Jefferson Memo- rial Commission created by the Sev- enty-Fourth Congress at an executive session yesterday at the commission offices in the old House Office Build- ing.

He estimated that returns have come in from more than 90 per cent, and said that doubtless many others had filed with the Social Security Board. Meanwhile, the records division got away to a flying start yesterday, the employe applications coming in in such volume that it was decided to inaugurate two shifts at once to handle them rather than wait a week or so as had been intended. This brought about an unusual sit- uation, so many of the Baltimore office | force continuing to maintain homes here, that the Baltimore & Ohio in- sugurated special commuter service to earry them between the two cities.

Urging the desirability of having only bona fide residents of the Dis- trict in District government jobs, the Costello Post, American Legion, last night indorsed a resolution looking to creation of legislation which would | achieve that end. Details of the program were left to the Resolutions Committee, which was ‘i:structed to report at the next meet- 2. The resolution will be presented to the District Department of the Legion at a later date. If the plan is favorably received, local civic organizations will be asked to co-operate. Col. Julius I. Peyser, former mem- ber of the District School Board and past department commander, de- clared that at present most of the top jobs in the District Building are held by persons who are not tax-paying residents of the District. Peyser added that the District gov- ernment is not under classified civil service. Larger Stores Will Be Closed | divorce case. After the Government had rested its case Defense Attorney Rudolph | Yeatman began an argument for a | directed verdict of not guilty, con- tending the witnesses for the Govern- ment had failed to prove the bribery charge and that the witnesses allegedly induced to leave this juris- diction were not needed in any divorce case then pending against Nolan. Yeatman pointed out the wit- nesses in question were supposed to ! testify in the second case, which was | | for absolute divorce, and which was not at issue. After Yeatman had concluded his argument Justice James M. Proctor ordered a recess, saying he would take the motion for a directed verdict un- der consideration. Kearney Takes Stand. When the trial was resumed this morning, Kearney, indicted with No- lan, took the stand to give his expla- nation of a defense assertion that he had threatened to implicate Nolan with the District attorney unless the automobile dealer “laid $5,000 on the line.” “I told Mr. Nolan,” Kearney de- clared, “that I wanted Leo Rover to represent me in the trial of the bribery charge. It looked like I was going to take the rap, which meant three years in jail. I knew my business would go under and that my wife would be un- |able to support herself during that time. Therefore I sent my attorney to Nolan to ask that he put $5,000 in escrow for the benefit of my wife in event I should be convicted and sen- tenced. The money was to be returned to Nolan if I were not convicted.” Defense Attorney George D. Horning then brought out on cross-examination that Kearney yesterday denied making the demand on Nolan and that he had said “no specific amount” was men- tioned in authorizing his attorney to approach the co-defendant.

Schmeckebier, political scientist of the Brookings Institution, at the an- nual meeting of the Washington Com- mittee on Housing. Schmeckebier was one of five speak- ers, others being James Ring, ad- ministrative assistant in the Aliey Dwelling Authority; Willlam A. Rob- erts, former people's counsel; James A. Cobb, former judge of the Munici- pal Court, and Mrs. Florence D. Stew- art, executive secretary of the Hous- ing Committee. Declaring that existing legal reme- dies for settlement of housing dis- putes are not adequate, Schmeckebier said: % “Judge Nathan Cayton's plan for establisment of a small claims branch of the Municipal Court provides for | the arbitration of any dispute what- soever, and would thus include con- troversies arising between landlords and tenants. But if his plan, which the Washington Committee on Hous- ing has indorsed in principle, is not adopted or if the Municipal Court finds that a small claims and con- | ciliation branch could not handle cases that do not involve money claims, what machinery can be pro- vided to protect the rights and define the duties of the respective parties? Arbitration Board Favored. “For some months a subcommit- tee of the Committee on Housing has been studying this problem and has come to the conclusion that a land-' lord-tenant arbitration tribunal es- tablished by law would serve this pur- pose. In such a tribunal controver- sies between landlord and tenant could be heard informally without the necessity of having counsel and with no cost to either side.

Judge Cobb discussed at length the legal remedies now available to both landlord and tenant, expressing the belief they are not suitable to mod- ern conditions. He was followed on | the program by Roberts, who, in the absence of Judge Cayton, described | the latter's small claims court pro- posal, which, in substance, would pro- vide a friendly tribunal where dis- putes involving claims of $50 or less arising out of a contractual relation- ship could be tried. e Mrs Stewart outlined the methods ‘How would such a tribunal be constituted?

A panel of this size would distribute the work and prevent the service from becoming burdensome, as the arbitrators would receive no com- pensation.

He said that the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Commis- sion may request his body to con- sider the program and he does not feel like saying anything in advance. H. P. Caemmerer, executive secre- tary of the Fine Arts Commission, said that his commission “has always stood for that site,” expressing pleasure that the congressional group has fave ored the Tidal Basin area. Caemmerer made it clear, however, that no design | has been submitted to his commission, “That site has always been con- sidered for a great memorial,” Caem- | merer declared. “It is in the Wash- ington plan and the commission of | 1901 designated the south axis as the site for a memorial to the founders of | the Republic. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is in keeping with that plan.

Nolan. Before taking the stand as a Gov- ernment witness, Kearney, formerly one of Nolan’s business associates, had entered a plea of “nolo contendere” to the bribery charge. This plea is in effect a plea of guilty, but does not render the defendant lisble to a civil action for damages. Kearney testified yesterday that he and the dutomobile .dealer bribed Charles and_Mattie Young, both col- ored, to-leave the District two days before a divorce suit filed by Mrs. Alice M.
