ADMITS He MAY HEAD
DISTRICT COMMITTEE
Senator Calder Says It Looks as if
He Will Be Reached by
Process of Elimination.

Senator William F. Calder of New
York. who has been mentioned as the
probable chairman of the Senate Dis
trict committee under the republican re-
organization of the Senate. returned to
Washington today. Senator Calder
laushingly said that he could neither
accept nor refuse something which has
not yet been offered him. when he was
asked if he would become chairman OF
the District committee. He said. how
ever, that it looked as though. through
the process of elin,ina ton, the chair
manship of the District committee
might come to him, the fifth of the re-
publican senators in line for it.
Senator Calder has always had keen
interest in the developments and i'm
provements of Washington. During the
last Congress- he introduced a bill pro-
viding, for the appointment OF a com
mission to consider the question of the
adoption of a zone system for the con-
struction of buildings in the District OF
Columbia.
He said that he intended to rein
troduce this bin when Congress re-
assemblies. His idea is that zones
should be adopted in which certain
types of buildings only shall be per-
mitted to be erected, unless the con
sent of IS per cent of the property
owners in the zone or the block Is
given for the construction of some
other kind. First, he said. in a strict
" residential section there should be
a prohibition against the erection OF
a factory or of garage or some othei
i business house unless the property
/ owners are willing to have it erected
| Senator Calder's bill calls for the
| appointment of a joint commission to
! be composed of members of Congress
! citizens of the District and engineer
! officers of the Army. The District
| Commissioners recommended substi-
{ cute for commission to be appointed
! by the President, to report to Con-
gress.
Senator Calder said that such zone
! system as he proposes had worked
well in New York.

APPROPRIATION FOR NAVY
SOUGHT AT EARLY DATE

Arrangements to secure passage be-
fore July l of the naval appropria-
ton bill. which failed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, were discussed to-
day by Acting Secretary Roosevelt
with Senator PoindeXter of Washing
ton. prospective chairman of the Sen
ate naval committee. They agreed to
urge the House naval committee to
take up the bill in the form in which
it was reported to the Senate last
March, including the Senate amend
ments.
Senator Poindexter indicated that
large questions of general naval pol
icy might be left out of the bill in
order not to delay essential appro
priation legislation. He said the new
three-year building program. the size
of the permanent enlisted personnel
and other matters of policy probably
could not be determined definitely by
July !, when the appropriations would
be urgently needed.

relieved from command of Camp Bowie,

SOLDIERS MAY EXPECT DELAY
Claims for Additional Travel Al
lowance Must Be Verified.

According to the Army zone finance
officer in this city. charged with the
settlement of claims of enlisted men
for additional travel allowance those
claims cannot be settled with the
same rapidity which marked the pay
ment of about 100000 claims for the
sixty dollar bonus.
He says each of the travel allowance
claims will require certain verification
by War Department records. to be fol-
lowed by mileage calculations in the
zone finance office. The need of ac-
curacy is obvious, necessitating spe-
cialiZed Office personnel, and he hopes
that this circumstance will not be
overlooked by those concerned. Every
letter or telegram making inquiry or
requesting expedited action will oper-
ate to delay these payments. and the
public is urged to lend full co-opera-
ton with view to reducing corre-
spondence to the minimum
