1.-THE Commission regard the
treatment Of this area as one OF the
few opportunities left to create a
worthy entrance to the National
Capital" the letter says, recon-
mending that the Park Commission
purchase Immediately those parcels
of land necessary to the plan before
they are used for commercial de-
velopment.
The letter follows:
1.-THE Commission believe that this
treatment should begin at the juno
ton of Alaska Avenue and Six.
teenth Street. Advantage should be
taken of the last height along Six
teenth Street to develop there q
great circle commanding a view of
the White House, the Washington
Monument. the Potomac river and
the Virginia hills.
From this circle a roadway
should extend into the adjoining
Rock Creek Park on the west and
to the Army medical center Walter
Reed Hospital on the east. The
area between the college and the
park should be controlled by the
round point on the crest Of the hill
boulevard as broad as possible
should sweep for a mile to the Dis
trict Line.
preferably Sixteenth Street
should be wi1ened. If for any rea-
son this cannot be done the parking
should be taken into the thorough
fare. All of the owners Of the
adjacent lots will be highly benefited
by the widening of Sixteenth Street
to make developments proper to d
suburban. area.
1.-THE commission highly approves
the arrangements made with the
property owners along Kalnia
Road for a treatment of that sec
ton consonant with the topography
of the District. Further, the COM
mission highly commends the pro-
vision for great portal to the
city as shown on the plan sub
mitted.
I'm this connection it calls at
tention to another significant point,
namely the junction of Eastern
and Western Avenues, at the north
ern apex of the District of Co.
lumbia. This point also should
have a monumental treatment.
"The commission urges upon the
National Capital Park Commission
an immediate arrangement with the
authorities of Maryland with q
view to getting boulevard con-
nection with Baltimore and another
with Gettysburg. This entire pro-
ject the commission believes to be
the opportunity now presented to
prevent. at least in this section,
the ravages that are going on in
tearing down the hills and filling
the valleys Of the District Of CO.
lumbia."

F PROOF|NG
BILL SPIKED

Proposed legislation providing
drastic fire.proofing regulations for
Washington hospitals. orphans asy-
1ums and similar institutions has
been pigeon-hoIed by the Commits
sioners, it was learned today.
According to word received from
an official source by the Washing
ton Board Of Trade, which led the
fight against the measure, the bill
son has been withheld from Con-
gressional attention.
For more than two years Dis
trict officials have sought to have
the rigid fire-proofing measure
enacted into law, over the continued
protests of the institutions which
would be affected thereby.
Objected To Cost.
Assisted by the Board Of Trade,
practically all of these institutions
recently flooded the Commissioners
with pleas that the legislation be
dropped, as 1t would entail heavy
expense in every instance.
1t was pointed out. that a number
Of the buildings. while safe from
ordinary fire risks, could not pos
sibly meet the lofty standard set in
the proposed bill, and that IL the
bill were passed. these. buildings
could no longer be used for their
present purposes. Furthermore. new
structures could not De afforded by
the majority Of the organizations
controlling these homes.
Seemed Due to Pass
At a preliminary hearing on the
projected regulations in the board
room of the District Building, more
than q year ago, representatives OF
the various institutions told the
Commissioners that the thousands
of dollars which would have to be
spent in complying with the law
were far beyond the means OF the
hospitals and asylums.
The legislation moved forward,
however, and until the past few
months, seemed docketed for pass
age by the House and Senate. The
Board Of Trade, however, took up
the cudgel against the measure. and
conducted a campaign designed to
show the Commissioners that pub
lie opinion frowned upon the fire
proofing bill.

Percy Henry Keller, salesman,
80, Of 200 Connecticut Ave. N. W.,
charged with driving while drunk

tinued until Judge Daniel Thew
Wright, his attorney. returns from

of the accident. She was cut by
flying glass.

YOUNG BOYS BUY
USED AUTOS

Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge
today expressed the belief that
dealers in secondhand automobiles
in the District are not investigating
the ages of their customers
thoroughly enough before making
sales.
"A case was brought to my
attention just the other day." Ed
ridge said, where two boys, one
IA and the other Is, had been sold
cheap automobile for cash by a
dealer and had been driving 1t
around the streets for a week.
Neither Of the boys had a permit
to operate an automobile"
When the father Of one OF the
youths found out what his son was
doing, Eldridge declared, he re-
ported the matter to the traffic d1'
rector's office and arrangements
were made to have the machine re-
turned to the dealer.
Eldridge also complained about
the number Of machines still driven
with gIaring headlights.
He criticized the drivers of ma
chimes equipped with illegal lights
and said that on f Street. behind
the Traffic Bureau, chart had
been installed where tests ard ad
justments would be made free OF
charge

Coast Guard Gets Five
Destroyers For
Rum NAVY

The Coast Guard today took
over five naval destroyers for
the rum navy.
This will give the Atlantic
fleet II destroyers to be used in
anti-smuggling operations from
Florida to Maine. The ships
carry anti-aircraft and machine
guns.
Rear Admiral F. C. Billiard,
commandment of the Coast Guard,
said he hoped to add later a
few destroyers to the Pacific

.BLANT0N FLAIS
Z JENNINGS

Charging that District Commits
sioner Frederick A. Fenning and
his brother, Karl fleming, assis
tant to the Attorney General. are
violating the revised statutes OF
the United States. which make Il
a crime for them to engage in
private practice. Representative
Thomas L. Blanton of Texas, in a
fiery speech on the House floor
today, demanded immediate investi
CATION by the House Rules ,mmit
tee.
President Coolidge, II correctly
quoted as countenancing the double
practice by Commissioner Fenning,
has either been deceived or is mis-
taken regarding the law, Represen-
tative Blanton said.
He said that neither President
Coolidge nor the House Steering
or Rules Committees, If they knew
the facts, would permit the Fen
ming matter to be hushed up with
out investigation.
Renewing his attack on Karl
Fenning, Blanton said the Commits
sioner's brother had deliberately
misrepresented himself when he
appeared before the House Com
mittee on Patents last month.
At that time, he said. Karl Fen
ming told the committee that he
was in business as a patent lawyer
and chairman of the committee on
laws and rules of the American
Patent Laws Association.
THAT was not his business. ="
Representative Blanton said. His
business was his duty as an assist
ant to the Attorney General. a
potion for which he was paid SITS
a month from the United States
Treasury"
The Rules Committee. to which
Representative Blanton appealed for
action, now has before it two reso.
buttons providing for an invesuga-
ton of the District government.
with Commissioner Fenning as the
central figure.
Regardless of the action taken
on ttFse resolutions, plans are be.
ing made for an informal investiga.
ton by the House District Com
mittee. 1t is expected that the
matter will be discussed at the reg
ular meeting of the committee
Wednesday.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
CAMPAIGN Is TAGGING

Contributions to the Easter cam
paign fund of. the Associated Char
tiles are tagging far behind the
amount received up to the same
day last year, according to an
announcement by those in charge
Of the drive today, and anxiety is
being felt for the success Of the
fund.
Up to noon today there were
only 3,218 contributing members in
the drive, or 400 less than had
aided the fund up to the begin
ming of the drives second week
last year. Only one more week re-
mains, 1t was announced, and the
fund still is short 1000 of the
$4,000 sought to meet the organi-
cations budget.
Special efforts will be made dur
ing the next few days to arouse
renewed interest in the work of
the charities organization.

Coolidge's and Times
Mail Exchanged
In Delivery

White House attaches, open
ing the bulky Monday morning
mail pouches today, thought
the Presidents offices had been.
changed overnight into q news
paper plant. Through an error
the mail bags consigned to The
Washington Times had been left
at the White House.
At the same time people at
The Times office were scratch
ing puzzled heads to know why
the postoffice should deliver
President Coolidge's mail to
the newspaper. Incidentally the
President must be some CORE
spondent, judging by the amount
Of his mail.
A series Of hurried telephone
calls, and messengers running
between the White House and
The Times office, served to
straighten out the mistake.
