The House was urged today by | Chairman Keller of the House Library | Committee to pass the Treadway bill which provides that “in no event" shall the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Commission “select as a site for such memorial the area in the City of | Washington known: as the Tidal Basin." | Although the House was not in session, Chairman Keller filed a five- point report of 4.000 words which he has been three months in preparing, and said that he hopes to get action | by the House on the Treadway bill next Wednesday and if he fails at that time will seek preferential status | for the bill by applying to the Rules Committee. | The Treadway bill is an amendment | to the act of Congress on June 3, 1936, which provides that the Thomas Jeflerson Memorial Commission “shal determine upon a plan design for and proceed with the construction of such memorial upon a site selected by the | commission, under a contract or cnn-| tracts hereby authorized to be entered | into in a total sum not exceeding | $3,000,000." The five points in the Keller report | cover (1) expense; (2) the traffic situ- | { ation: (3) esthetic values served by | the memorial; (4) the advantages of | leaving the Tidal Basin area as it is' jand (5) the work of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Commission. The report makes no rocommenda- im" regarding any other site for the | memcrial, with an observation that it has no reason or intention to en croach upon the jurisdiction of the | commission except to register objec- tion to use of the Tidal Basin site Cost of Plans Cited. The report calls attention that the | cost of carrying out the memorial | plans on that site would be excessive and with no way of knowing what the | ultimate cost would be. It points out that the Army Engineers have esti- mates from $2,500,000 to $6,500.000 | Just for preparation of the site. It emphasizes two indications. First, that conditions are exceed- ingly variable and unpredictible, and second, that in carrying out prepa- rations for the Lincoln Memorial it | was found that there was serious set- | tling, which almost ruined the founda- | tion s0 that they had to go down to | bed rock the second time to shore up | the foundation. In that case it was a 58-foot fill, while at the proposed Jefferson Memorial it is an 85-foot fill | which the report argues would in- | crease the hazards of what might be | | expected. Chairman Keller said he | | thought it would not be proper for the committee to fail to call the at- tention of Congress to this anticipated | cost. On the second point, Chairman Keller discussed the traffic situation in that area. pointing out that np-I proximately 1,000,000 visitors a year | £0 to the Lincoln Memorial, that | traffic is heavy through that area | into Virginia and Potomac Park, and | is already so congested that an increase on account of the Jefferson Memorial | would create an impossible traffic situ- ation, especially since the memorial would block some of the traffic arteries, Would Crowd Lincoln Memor Discussing esthetic values as the | third point, the report calls attention that a commanding reason for placing the Lincoln Memorial was that on account of its size it needel isolation, and that to put another large memo- rial as a near neighbor would negate the purpose in locating the Lincoln Memorial. It points out that the form of treatment referred to as the I'En- fant plan did not consider the Tidal Basin area because the 1,100 acres in the Potomac Park and Hains Point were not there until 1900, when they | were reclaimed to exterminate malaria and mosquitoes. So the McMillan Commission in 1901 carried forward and extended the I'Enfant plan to the Mall with A cross axis to meet changed condi- tions. They provided for a memorial | where the Lincoln Memorial now is | and another near where it has been proposed to place the Jefferson Me- | | atl | the third annual Lincoln Memorial, no railway em- bankment, no Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The committee report says that they feel that the area around the Tidal Basin, with its in- formal treatment, has an' esthetic value in its contrast with the formal treatment of the rest of the city that should not be lost. Frederic Law Olmstead, who was a member of the McMillan Commission, wired the House Library Committee last April emphasizing that the pro- posed Jeflerson Memorial “would be so stupendous in appearance that, in his opinion, an adequate setting could Pprobably never be created in the Tidal Basin location The fourth point in the report is a discussion in favor of leaving the Tidal Basin as it is on account of its esthetic value. It also argues that, while the cherry trees may die. some might be moved and new ones planted, vet the committee questions where the Capital beautiful would get an- other such setting for the cherry trees, which attract so many people rom all over the country each year. It points out also that this area has become a playground and recreation center, handy for Government em- ployes on account of its proximity to Government buildings. Then it questions why, after this section has been so beautified. this beauty should be destroyed by placing | the memorial there when it might be located in some other section with an attractive development. Unless the traffic arteries have to be widened, the ‘eport points out. it will cost very little to preserve the beauties and recrea- tion area in the vicinity of the Tidal Basin, In its fifth section, the report calls tention to the laws enacted in the Seventy-third and Seventy-fourth Congresses, under which the Thomas | Jeflerson Memorial Commission was created and operates. It said that | the Library Committee has no dispo- | sition to encroach upon the jurisdic- tion of the commission and therefore | It Is not proposing any other site, but | is registering objection to the Tidal | Basin site. The report aiso calls at- tention that the commission is required | under the law to make an annual | report to Congress and that the clerk has advised that he has not received | report which was | due a month ago.

Dowling, sr, 75, who died Thursday night in Emergency Hospital of com- plications resulting from injuries re- ceived when hit by a taxicab on June 11, will be held at 2 pm.

Sagel said he went to the aban- | doned mine with Van Steck and two {others on Tuesday. When they reached the tunnel the Frenchman | said, “We will now go to see where the gold is.” However, the prospector entered alone while Sagel, the Governor of | Chiriqui Province and Van Steck's helper waited at the mouth of the | mine. Found Fatally Shot. Presently, Sagel related, they heard a sound like a stick breaking. The three ran in and found Van Steck | with a bullet wound in his right tem- ple and a revolver at his side. He died three hours later at his camp three miles from the mine. Sagel searched the tunnel for, gold, but found none. A corroborating | statement was given by Alfred Veser, Van Steck’s helper.

Rawe, 31, of 3726 Connecti- cut avenue, Shytle finally was taken to Emergency Hospital in a private | ambulance. ~Attendants at the hos- pital said they received two calls on the case and informed callers both times the ambulance was out on an- other call, but suggested other places where an ambulance could be obtained. It was believed persons in the crowd around Shytle thought it best not to move him without an ambulance and stretcher and that those who called Emergency Hospital possibly failed to report the fact the hospital's am- bulance would not be able to come immediately.

Garner in Peace Role. Vice sident Garner CAMPAIRN to heal the ragged wounds | that the long court controversy left in Democratic ranks. His first step was to engineer a White House con- ference between President Roosevelt | and Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne- | braska, one of the most vigorous op- ponents of the bill. It was & hidden hand that Garner used in his week's activities. He kept his lips sealed, as usual. On the sur- face his routine was the same as ever | —early arrival at the Capitol, con- | tinuous conferences with assoctates | and early to bed at night. 1 The high lights of this week's activi- ties was a dramatic and almost un- precedented appearance in a closed | session of the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee Thursday to arrange a settle- ment of the controversy. Opponents sald Garner had not changed the course of events—that the Senate would have sidetracked the original bill it _the same.
