Planning Board Wants Brentwood Park Sife For Abbott School Also Seek Part of Hospital Grounds For Play Center ‘The National Capital Park and Planning Commission in the next few days is expected to concentrate its efforts on persuading the Senate District Cdmmittee to shift the con- troversial site of the proposed Ab- bott Vocational School from the old Tuberculosis Hospital grounds at Thirteenth and Upshur streets N.W. back to Brentwood Park. A letter to the Senate committee was being prepared yesterday at the commission’s offices. It will de- tail the action of the commission at its April meeting opposing the Tu- berculosis Hospital site for the voca- tional school. Members of the com- mission staff, well armed with plans and reasons for utilizing the Brent- wood Park site, are ready at a moment’s notice to go before the committee in behalf of retaining part of the Tuberculosis Hospital site for use as a much-needed rec- reation area for the neighborhood around Roosevelt High School. Plan Made Public. The plan drawn up by the com- mission for the Tuberculosis Hos- pital grounds was made public yes- terday after being approved at the last planning commission meeting. It calls, as in past plans, for the use of the land occupied by the old | hospital for the proposed new Wil- son Teachers’ College, leaving the remainder of the land bounded by Upshur, Fourteenth, Allison and Thirteenth streets and Arkansas avenue N.W. for use as a recreation center with the exception of the Dennison and Allison Schools in the northeast corner of the tract. Members of the planning com- mission staff who worked up the plan pointed out yesterday that there appears to be room on the tract for Wilson Teachers’' College, Allison and Dennison Schools, the Abbott Vocational School and a recreation center as well. ‘However, they pointed out, when the amount af steep slope unsuitable for play space is taken into consideration the Abbott School would make im- possible the development of any adequate recreation space. Suitable as School Site. Brentwood Park, on the other hand, they said, is not suitable for a play area but is suitable as the site for the Abbott School. Hearings will be held soon on .the Abbott Vocational School item in the District of Columbia appro- priation bill now before Congress. It will not be the first time the site controversy has come up. The question was raised last year, but funds for the vocational school were not appropriated, the matter being pigeon-holed until this year. The Districc Commissioners. Board of Education, District Com- munity Center and Playground De- | partment, National Park Service and National Capital Park and Planning Commission in addition to the Bureau of the Budget all approved the Bremtwood Park .site for the school when the bill “was sent to the House. ‘The House, how- ever, changed the lacation of the school. 2 Politics (Continued From Aflrst Page.) is true in Wisconsin and Pennsyl- | vania, for example. In New York, it has been pro- | posed by the new Republican State chairman, Edwin Jaeckle, meeting of the delegates to the national convention be held in ad- vance of the convention to elect the members of the National Com- mittee—which usually is done at the convention. In this case, how- ever, the plan has been to sub- stitute a strong supporter of District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey for Kenneth L. Simpson, the present national committeeman from New York, who is opposed to the nomin- ation of Mr. Dewey. Independent Move. Chairman Hamilton's plan to have | delegation meetings to pick mem- bers of the Resolutions Committee has nothing whatever to do with the | Deweyites’ effort to sink Mr. Simp- son. However, if Mr. Jaeckle calls the delegation together to act on the members of the National Com- mittee, the meeting will be 1n a position also to select its members of the Resolutions Committee of the national convention. The States from whose repre- sentatives in the National Com- mittee or State chairmen Mr. Ham- ilton had heard up to last night are Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, | Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Caro- lina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Former Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas and Col. Frank Knox of Illinois, presidential and vice presi- | dential candidates in 1936, have favored a meeting of presumptive members of the Resolutions Com- mittee in advance of the opening of the national convention. Indeed, Col. Knox was in Washington 10 days ago, discussing plans for such a meeting with congressional leaders. ‘Would Discuss Candidates. The Landon-Knox suggestion, however, is understood to have gone even beyond the national platform and to reach into the realm of candidates, on the theory that party leaders should give the question of presidential and vice presidential nominees serious consideration, in view of all the conditions existing in America and abroad at the time or just before the opening of the convention. Mr. Hamilton’s proposal has nothing to do with the candidates for nomination. It is admitted, however, that when Republicans from the key States assemble in Philadeiphia, as is now proposed, discussion of candidates will follow as naturally as day follows night. ‘That being the case, managers of the various aspirants for the presi- dential nomination surely will be on the job. Both Mr. Landon and Col. Knox are likely to be members of the Resolutions Committee for their re- spective States. What part former President Herbert Hoover will play in this preconvention meeting in Philadelphia remains to be seen. The California primaries at which delegates to the national conven- tion will be chosen take place on May 7.

T | ;Italy's Involvement In War Is Hinfed In Grandi Speech Nation’s Liberty, Power And Very Life at Play, Fascist Chamber Told | Bs the Associated Press. | ROME, April 27.—For the third time in as many days an important | Pascist leader today hinted at Italy’s involvement in the European War, but failed to indicate if or when she might abandon her none-belligerent | stand. Count Dina Grandi, president of the Chamber of Fasces and Guilds, told the cheering members of the chamber that the “Fascist empire is not and knows it is not on the edge { of this conflict of peoples.” Listening to Grandi was Premier Mussolini, who also heard addresses |{in a similar vein by two other Fascists. the veteran leader, Fran- cesco Giunta and the undersecre- 1y of the interior, Guido Buffarini- Guidi, Thursday and yesterday. | Addresses Displayed in Press. The Grandi address closing the chamber session was prominently displayed by the controlled Italian | press. | At the same time the newspapers published without comment German Foreign Minister Joachim von Rib- bentrop’s declaration in Berlin that Germany had proof that Britain had planned to extend the war to Norway. | The failure of an airplane to ar- | rive on schedule with documents from Berlin caused the German | Ambassador, Hans-Georg von Mack- ensen, to call off a press conference. | He had invited correspondents to receive a statement in connection with Von Ribbentrop’s address in | Berlin. | Grandi, former Italian Ambassa- | | dor to Washington and London, told the chamber that the Italian nation “in its profound political sense, which it derives from its thousands of years of experience and recent glorious decades. has exact con- sciousness of its responsibilities and duties. | “Very Life in Play.” | “It can never be otherwise when | its liberty. its power, its very life and that,of future generations are | in play.” Thursday Giunta predicted the | war would spread until “it becomes a war of peoples against the world of wrongful property hoarders.” Buffarini-Guidi told the chamber yesterday that none of the few ‘“remaining oases of peace” could be certain of escaping “contamina- tion.” He spoke on the 25th anni- versary of the secret Treaty of Lon- don which plunged Italy into the World War on the side of the allies. Italy’s contention that the prom- ises in that treaty were not fully redeemed is one of the basic reasons Rome is pro-German in the present war. —————— e Committee, writing to Mr. Hamilton in reply to his proposal for an early meeting of the Resolutions Commit- tee, said: “I consider your suggestion most | admirable and essential, and I trust that you will suggest a definite date upon which the Resolutions Com- | mittee members should assemble in Philadelphia. It has always seemed to mé most unbusinesslike to wait for such deliberations until the day before the convention convenes. Our situation today is 8o critical and serious that unhurried thought and consideration must be given to the platform. Hit-or-miss decisions cannot be indulged in and. sufficient time must be given to serious and thoughtful consideration of every item to be embodied in that docu- ment.” Other members of the Natiénai Committee expressed similar views. The Republicans will draft their platform and name their candidates before the Democratic National Convention assembles—a couple of weeks later in Chicago. By May 28 it is expected all the delegates to thé Republican Na- tional Convention will have been selected. The Republican State convention of Texas will be held on that date—the last scheduled in any of the States. There will be ample time, therefore, for the selection 6t the Resolutions Committee - mem- bers so that they can arrive in good season in Philadelphia. AND 'USTED g | CRYSTALS WHIL) Hull Congressman Unable To Decide on Nominee Representative Gore told the Na- tional Democratic League yesterday that while he represents the home town of Secretary of State Hull, prominently mentioned for the Dem- ocratic presidential nomination, he still can’t decide who is going to be the party’s nominee. The town is Carthage, Tenn. Mr. Gore was introduced at a luncheon in the Grafton Hotel as a close friend of the Secretary ot State. But his address, demanding & Democratic victory in the ap- proaching election, was largely de- voted to praise of President Roose- velt's reconstruction of “havoc” he blamed on Republican administra- tions. Praising present tariff policy as the “shining star of this administra- tion,” the 32-year-old Representa- tive declared it to be the result of co-operation between the President and Mr. Hull. Whaling Ship Fleeing War Is Accused of Treaty Violations lllegal Oil Production. Charged After Vessel Is Floated at New Orleans By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, April 27.—The whaling vessel Ulysses, which ran aground on a Mississippi River mud bank below the city while seeking haven here from Europe’s war, was floated today, and shortly afterward United States Attorney Rene Viosca announced part and possibly all her cargo of 64,000 barrels of ofl would be labeled as illegally produced. Mr. Viosca’s announcement came at the conclusion of a conference with two assistants who visited the vessel Friday to investigate reports the oil had been taken in violation of the 1936 Whaling Treaty Act. Was Headed for Norway. The ship was headed for Bergen, Norway, but turned toward New Or- léans when it received orders to run for a neutral port. The whaling treaty, to which practically all principal nations are parties, prescribes seasons for whal- ing, defines boundaries of opera- tions, specifies minimum sizes of the various species which may be taken, requires that all parts of a whale be processed within 33 hours of taking, prohibits taking of any cow accompanied by calf, and pro- hibits abandonment of any whale taken. Coast Guard Reports Used. Mr. Viosca said the seizure, to- gether with a grand jury investiga- tion, would be made on basis of re- ports of Coast Guard inspectors, but declined to reveal their nature. Under the Whaling Treaty Act & violation of any of the treaty’s pro- visions is punishable by forféiture of the vessel's license, fines not to exceed $10,000 and a jail sentence of not more than six months, or all three.

A program of 12 air and ground formal opening address by Fred A. Smith, vice president of the Wash- ington Board of Trade. The air program will begin with an aerial parade, to include all contestants and demonstration airplanes entered by manufactures of private-owner | type aircraft. These airplanes will be available for public inspection | on the field during the meet. Two closed-course races have been scheduled. Both will be open to men and women pilots holding a private or commercial pilot's certifi- caté from the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Both will be over a 10- mile course laid out in full view of the grandstands. The first race is to be limited to airplanes having a manufacturer’s rating of 80 horse- power or less and the second air- craft rated at 100 horsepower or more. There will be & demonstration of aerobatics by Vincent “Squeek” Burnett, instructor to the Uni- versity of Maryland unit of the Civil Aeronautics Authority's ci- vilian pilot training program, and | holder of the national and inter-! | national championships for aero-| }blncs.

C. L. O. Not Satisfied. The C. I. O., however, was not sat- isfied, and John B. Easton, president of the West Virginia Industrial Union Council, in a letter to Mr. Phillips, thus took the board to task: “Weé protest against this action (the séttlément) and call upon the board to carry out its own man- date. We take the position that there is little or no excuse for the board to humble itself in this case, and we expect the reliéf to which we are entitled under the law.” ‘While these documents were pre- sented to the committee, Herbert Fuchs, a supervisor in the board’s legal review section, was on the stand. Mr. Fuchs reviewed the evidence in the Dunbar case and drafted the board’s opinion. In one of the let- ters introduced' in evidence a board official said he had talked to Mr. KAHN ARTHUR J.

Jewelors Platinumsmiths “Why,” demanded Chairman Smith, “do you decide cases against respondents when you yourselves think they are too weak to enforce?” “You'll have to ask the board that,” the witness replied. Mr. Toland sought to show that in several cases Mr. Fuchs had gone outside the record compiled by trial examiners to obtain information for the board. In regard to the Newport News (Va.) Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. case, counsel asked the witness to say who directed him to make in- vestigations while the record com- piled by the trial examiner was pending before the toard. Mr. Fuchs said he made two inquiries, one ordered by an assistant general counsel, the other oy the full board, which instructed him to find out “whether there was evidence which did not go into the record.” Mr. Fuchs was questioned closely‘ by Mr. Toland and by committee | members concerning comments on on sheets of paper taken from his | files. He described some portions | of evidence as “baloney” and wrote | “nuts” several times as a summary of exceptions which employers hld“ At one point in the testimony, | Representative Murdock, Democrat, of Utah, a committee member, re- marked that the board’s “fine rec- ord in the courts” was a “thorn in the flesh of some members of this committee.” Nettled, Chairman Smith retorted: “I suppost the gentleman from Utah | was referring to me. The record is | not & thorn in my flesh.

Chamber Four-Day Meeting Will Open Tomorrow; Dawes Will Speak .From all sections of the country, representing all kinds of industry, big and little business men will gather here tomorrow to expound their views in this election year for Aiding private enterprise. More than 2,000 representatives from trade groups and 1,600 com- munities large enough to boast of & Chamber of Commerce are ex- pected for the four-day, 28th an- nual meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce. “There will be no dwelling upon past mistakes, no harping upon lack of harmony among different ele- ments, no looking backward. The look is forward,” saild John W. O’Leary, chairman of the Executive Committee and head of & steel com- pany in Chicago. “In & world torn as it is today by war and disruptions, America is striving to keep its balance. Its people desire above all things to keep out of the conflict, to carry on as far as possible their normal way of life and to build toward a future that will leave a true Ameri- can heritage to succeeding genera- tions.” Fight Due on Several Issues. Although officials believe there will be less acrimonious criticism of Government control and expendi- tures than in former meetings, the questions submitted for considera- tion indicate a fight on subjects ranging alphabetically from admin- istrative law to the Wage-Hour Act, with emphasis on limiting the Na- tional Labor Relations Board and the Security and Exchange Commis- sion. In particular, the failure to bal- ance the budget is due for criticism | from Charles G, Dawes, former Vice President of the United States and chairman of the board of the City National Bank & Trust Co, Chicago. He will speak at a dinner in the Willard Hotel Tuesday night. Dislocation of trade with the European belligerents, looming large | particularly since the invasion of Denmark and Norway, has been placed in the agenda for three sessions. Dr. Paul Van Zeeland, former Prime Minister of Belgium, will analyze the foreign situation at the International Chamber din- | ner Monday night. Other speeches on foreign problems will be deliv- ered by Eliot Wadsworth of Boston, chairmanof the group, and Thomas J. Watson, president of the Inter- national Business Machines Corp. | The effect war has had on the auto- mobile industry and building export trade under war conditions will be discussed by C. M. Wynne, mana- ging director of Overseas Indus- tries, Inc. R. H. Geist, chief of the division of commercial affairs at the State Department, will also speak Tuesday night. Shipbuilding Problem. Another problem posed by the war is ships and shipbuilding. The effect of the current conflict on our merchant marine and methods of disposing of tonnage to the bel- ligerents probably will be considered Wednesday afternoon. Juan T. Trippe, president of the Pan American Airways, is to present the problems of building up the transoceanic airways. A host of other subjects, par- | ticularly employer-employe relations under the Wagner Act has been placed on the agenda. Many of the subjects were sug- gested by the member groups and their views later may be expressed in resolutions which the chamber will make part of its program. Just what businessmen think should be done to improve economic conditions is best expressed in these questions placed in consideration. The Illinois Manufacturers Asso- ciation proposed indorsement of the much - debated Logan-Walter bill “as a measure providing against continuation and extension of abuses now inherent in promiscuous issue of rules and regulations by Federal administrative agencies.” Crop Aid Limit Urged. The Bismark (N. Dak.) Association of Commerce, the Kansas City and Philadelphia chambers expresed op- position to limitation “of production of exportable farm products” and recommended “lmitations of gov- ernment financial aid to the portion of the crop domestically consumed.” The Chicago Association of Com-"| merce, and groups from several other cities, proposed a declaration “that no form of Government re- striction or regulation should inter- fere with new financing for addi- tions and betterments required for proper business operations of public utility holdings and opera II;’ or 'n Planos, but 4 durability.

Overseas Trade Discriminations. Almost certain to be adopted is a resolution prepared by the Cham- ber’s Foreign Commerce Committee urging “prompt diplomatic action in case of discrimination and inter- ference with our overseas trade” both in Europe and the Far East. 1t also urged the Government to use every effort to discourage an inter- national economic war at the end of the present hostilities. The Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai added a proposal ‘“em- phasizing the importance of devel- oping and maintaining business op- portunities for Americans in China on an equality with those of any | other nation,” and commended the | Government for holding warring | nations in the Far East responsible | for damages to Americans. | The W. P. A. was criticized in a proposal submitted by the Asso- | ciated General Contractors, which declared it “should be prohibited from solicitation of construction | projects; that the total cost of | W. P. A construction should be limited to cost of project ready for use by the public when completed and that sponsors of each project should contribute at least 50 per | cent of the total cost.” | The Eastern Federation of Feed | Merchants also criticized Govern- | ment competition, opposing “con-l tinued distribution of farm sup- plies * ¢ * by agencies of the Federal Government directly to farmers.” The Board of Directors of the | Chamber offered a resolution in- dorsing “the voluntary movement among States, now going on, to reduce by their own action dis- criminatory barriers and deterrents | to interstate trade.” 8 Wagner Act Revision Urged. | “Immediate and radical amend- | ment of the Labor Relations Act” 1was suggested by the Chicago asso- ciation, urging that amendments include “not only those in the Smith bill but also provisions requiring | labor to follow the procedure of the act in order to obtain bar- gaining rights rather than use| {llegal strikes.” It urged that sit- | down strikes, strikes in violation of | collective bargaining agreements and strikes to secure recognition be declared illegal. The check-off and | closed shop should also be declared | illegal, it declared, and the power of the Labor Board to order rein- statement of employes against the will of the employer should be with- drawn, The Federal Finance Committee proposed a declaration by the chamber “for strengthening fiscal | controls in the Federal Government | through authority in the Président to designate activities which should be discontinued, to reduce expendi- | tures below appropriations if neces- | Missing Element 85 Reported Produced From Bismuth Elusive Halogen Close to lodine In Atomic Table Artificial production of one of the 92 elements of nature which hither- 1o has eluded all search was reported to the American Physical Soclety - here yesterday. % This is element 85, close to fodine . in the atomic table, which may be essential to life since it seems to have a special affinity for the thyroid gland. The elements, numbered accord- ing to the numbers of outer electrons spinning around their necleii like planets around the sun, range from hydrogen, the lightest of all, to uranium with its 92 nuclear satel- lites. All but three gaps in the table have been filled by substances actu- ally found in nature. Some, like radium, are constantly breaking down into other elements. Produced From Bismuth. Eighty-five, one of the so-called halogens, could not be located. If found, it was surmised, it would be- long in the iodine family and the chief search for it was conducted in sea water, sea weeds and forms of marine life. Although it was re- ported found several times, none of the finds proved authentic. Ap- parently it existed in nature in too minute quantities ever to be de- tecte So, reported Drs. D. R. Corson, K. R. McKenzie and R. Segre of the University of California, it has been made instead by bombarding the element bismuth with alpha parti- cles, or nucleii of helium atoms, by means of the cyclotron. By this means nearly 200 “new elements” have been made, most of them radio-active like radium or uranium. With this exception, however, they have been substances which did not exist in nature. The bombardment of bismuth produced several disintegration products, one of which appears to have all the properties attributed theoretically to the mysterious 85, It is radioactive and has a life pe- riod of a little over seven hours. It then changes back into a form of bismuth and, in theory, eventually should change to a form of lead. Thus far it has been impossible to find any of this lead. May Be Parent of Lead. The small samples of the. new ele- ment thus far available have been subjected to extensive chemical tests and in every way react the way 85 should react if it were found in nature. It doubtless has existed there, physicists believe, but is too short-lived to have been detected. Presumably it was among the origi= nal materials torn loose from the sun out of which the earth was made. It may be the parent of someé of the forms of lead known to science.
