expedited He advocated tube 4
feet in diameter of concrete block

quired why the aid of the Federal
government was asked. The question
was answered by Mr.. Bloomingdale

But you could say the same thing
about a bridge over the Mississippi
River" Senator Kellogg replied. II
we are 10 give help to this projeci

the various projects that are on tbs
same level?"
Mr.. Bloomingdale answered that th'

SENATE STOPS
HOUSING WORK
Union Station Plaza Project
to Be Abandoned as
1t Stands.


The cessation of work on all
housing projects undertaken by the
United States Housing Corporation,
except those which are rs per cent
completed. was ordered by the SEN
ate yesterday on a resolution by
Senator Reed of Missouri. The reso-
luton directs the commission to stop
the expenditure of money on the
projects and to return furniture
which has been purchased for the
buildings,
In the matter of the group OF
buildings being erected on the Union
Station Plaza, fronting the Capitol
building. complete stoppage of work
was ordered, whether the buildings
are near completion or not.
There was a sharp debate in the
Senate preceding the passage of the
resolution. Senator Lenroot of Wis
consin quoted the testimony of Otto
! Eidlitz. head of the Housing Com
mission, given before the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds. to
/ the effect that it was purposed to
spend s400. 900 on finishing the build
ings on the Plaza. He declared that
! this 100000 would simply be taken
out of the pockets of the taxpayers
and wasted IL the resolution were
not passed"
Senator Kirby of Arkansas. sug-
gested that the government had been
robbed on all OF the housing projects.
\ He said that was never any neces-
sity for bringing the great army of
war workers to Washington, and
that the situation with regard TO
their housing could have been solved
| by having the Food Administration
in Chicago or st. Louis. the Fuel
Administration somewhere near the
center of the coal industry. and
other government bureaus elsewhere.

SURPLUS SALES
TO Be GRADUAL
Baker Declares Both Prices
and Public Will Be
Protected.

There will be no Withholding Of
surplus army supplies from the mar
ket. and no dumping them on the
market, either of which would af-
feet current i'rices. it was announced
yesterday by Secretary of War Baker.
Speaking of the supplies. Mr.. Baker
said:
THE War department is going to
work out method OF disposing Of
them in conjunction with those who
know most about the various ma
terials. so as to allow the produc-
tion of raw materials to be con-
.tinued normally. That means that
ut stocks will be sold from time
eto time so as not TO cause a sudden
break in the market, and it does
not mean that our stocks are going
to be withheld in such a way as ar
tifcially either TO enhance the mar
ket or maintain an improper basis
of price"
Quartermaster Gen. r. Z. Wood
made a statement yesterday show
ing the enormous amounts of sup
plies now owned by the army. All
of this is of course not for sale, and
there is no way yet of estimating
the surplus when the army shall have
been mustered out Gen. Wood's s
statement shows: Total value in
money of subsistence, sos. .6e4. 900,
value per 1.oo0 men. s57. 200: clothing
and equipage, s611. 1.024oOO, value per

animal-d drawn vehicles, 81, 500, 900. value

The items of subsistence and cloth
ing and forage will undoubtedly be
largely decreased by the time the
whole army is mustered out probably
seven months hence. In fact. it has
been stated that IL the department
made no more purchases OF subsist-
ence there would probably be no
