B—2 =» W.P.A CUDEBOOK OFD.C.ONSHE Nearby Virginia and Mary- land Included in 1,141- Page Volume. Weighing approximately 52 pounds and including 1,141 pages of text and two comprehensive maps, the Federal ‘Writers' Project historical guidebook to the District of Columbia and nearby Maryland and Virginia goes on sale today, Carrying the title ‘“Washington: City and Capital,” the volume was prepared under the supervision of Henry G. Alsberg, director; George W. Cronyn, associate director, and Reed Harris, assistant director. It was printed in the Government Printing Office, and the sale price is $3. The book is described by its spon- sors as “the most comprehensive . . . yet published about the Nation’s Capi- tal—at once a record of its dramatic history and human associations, an account of its varied cultural back- ground and activities, a description of the vast machinery of National Government, and a guide to its archi- tecture, monuments, museums, gal- lerles, historic houses, parks and nu- merous other points of interest.” For end papers the so-called “hand- kerchief map” of the city, first printed from Samuel Hill's engraving about 1792, is used. Illustrations inter- spersed through the text include a hundred photographs by W. Lincoln Highton of the Works Progress Ad- ministration camera staff. District Writers’ Project workers who co-operated in the preparation of ma- terial for the book were: Randolph Boggs, Bernard Braxton, Anderson Brown, John Brown, Mrs. Rosemary Brownfield, Lydia Brunnabend, Cora Bowen Clark, Kempner Cowing, Wil- liam H. Crawford, George C. Farring- ton, Raymond E. Forbes, Patrick Gal- lagher, Dupont Georges, Curtis Grimes, Alice K. Hartley, Ray Hill, John O. Knott, Edith E.

Middleton, Pierce Miller, Manuel Roque, Samuel Rosenfeld, Leila Sellers, John Sheehan, Virginia Stith, Frank C. Sutch, Demetrius ‘Theodore, Irene Turner, Joel F. Webber and Mrs. Mary Williams. Harris, discussing the labor involved, said recently: “Workers on the guide have ranged from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 30, the average being about 20; not more than 10 of these have been writers, the rest being research workers. Only one artist has worked on the guide, but in addition three map men and one photographer devoted a considerable part of their time for three months to the prepara- tion of maps and photos. * * * “It is difficult to state simply the number of hours of work involved. | For nearly a year the work was chiefly carried on by persons attached to the District project—that is, persons most of whom came from the relief rolls and who worked approximately four days & week, receiving the security ‘wage of $79 a month.” | The Washington guide is the second | of the larger volumes to be published | in the American Guide Series, designed | and executed by the Federal Writers’ | Projects of the Works Progress Ad- ministration. “This larger series,” the | editors say, “will eventually embrace | Prisoner Proposes Saving to Taxpayers By Reducing Term By the Associated Press. SEVIERVILLE, Tenn, April 15—Rubni Ketchum wanted to help the Sevier Couwuty taxpayers who were putting up 75 cents a day for his keep while he served a 6-month larceny sentence. 8o he wrote Judge W. P. Mon- roe, suggesting the county treas- ury would be saved $67.50 if his term were cut to three months. Judge Monroe found merit in the economy plea and reduced the sentence, but appended this warning: “If you should violate the law any more, I doubt very seriously it your interest in the taxpayers will save you.” MAN DIES UPON LEAVING HAVRE DE GRACE TRACK Vicitm of Heart Attack Identified by Paper as Norfolk Res- taurant Manager. B) the Associated Press. HAVRE DE GRACE, Md, April 15. —A man identified by papers in his pockets as Ligh S. Tigh, 50, a restau- rant manager of Norfolk, Va. died from a heart attack here yesterday just after he left the race track to board a bus for Baltimore. Letters indicated Tigh was on a va- cation from his position as manager of a restaurant in Norfolk, and that he had been stopping at the Southern Hotel in Baltimore. After his collapse he was taken to the Harford Memorial Hospital, where Dr. F. W.

Opposition to an increase in gas taxes to provide more funds than are needed for public highways was reg- istered at a meeting of the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens' Association last night in the Woodbridge Sub- branch Library. A committee report adopted pointed out that excess funds would be devoted to other uses.

STAR, WASHINGTON which were obtained from buildings formerly occupying most of the pres- ent parking lot sites. It was declared that the lots are business centers “the same as any store with commercial taxes.” Fear that parking lot rates would be increased, thereby intensify- ing street parking, led to indorsement of the measure only “in principle.” A proposed license tax of 2 per cent on monthly gross receipts of mo- tlon picture and amusement houses was approved. The clause stating that increase in admission rates would be forbidden was commended. Since construction of the pro- posed Jefferson Memorial in the Tidal Basin “would serfously conflict with the simple dignity of surrounding monuments and would necessitate re- moval of the cherry trees adjacent,” the organization unanimously object- ed to the site.
