Of Georgia Avenue and Gallatin

the Public Utilities Commission to
the Zoning Commission, it was In
dictated today at the District build

Crowded conditions and conges-

YEAR s LONGEST
DAY IS HERE

Today is the longest day in the
year--and it isn't necessary for
Albertina or Danny to rise up in
the rear Of the room with the wise
crack" that every day has twenty
four hours. so no day is longer than
anv other.
It's the longest "day" in the sense
that astronomical observers use the
term to designate the period be
tween sunrise and sunset The sun
rose today at 4:40 a. m. for Wash
inRton. and it won't set until 7:35
this evening. giving an astronomical
day Of IA hours and IS minutes.
1t is longest because at this time
of the year the sun is farthest
north of the equator. It's farthest
north from Washington at 1886
tonight, when Washingtonians CAM
see it. That's 4:30 tomorrow in
England, for instance, which makes
June % the longest day there
proving again that, America Il
always ahead of Britain.
The day also officially ushers in
the summer season. an event which
| temperatures took care of, un
| officially, more than a week ago
| when the thermometer rose to above
so. The official arrival of the
season, however, is likely to pre-
clude chances Of another cold spell
such as Washington experienced
last week. tn be warmer tonight
| with possible showers, is the of
fetal prediction, and slightly cooler
| with more showers tomorrow.

noticed two men dash from the
store. Taking after them, despite
his infirmities from age, Ullrich

Plans for the institution, within
the next few days, of condemna-

HOPE DINS FOR
RETIREMENT

With both the House and Senate
conferees standing pat, the dead
lock on Civil Service retirement re-
manned unbroken today.
Whether the conferees hold an
other meeting remains doubtful,
although Senator Robert n. Stan
field, chairman of the Senate con-
ferees, is hopeful that one may be
arranged for tomorrow afternoon.
The House conferees have flately
rejected the compromise bill of.
fered by the Senate, and have de-
clared that the, entire legislation
win fail unless the House bill Is
accepted without amendment.
Senator Stanfield today had not
receded from his stand which he
assumed Saturday, when he de.
clared that the Senate conferees
would never accept the House bill.

nuity, unless some concessions were
made to the demands OF the Sen
ate.i
Supporters Of the retirement
legislation were working like bea'
vers today in an attempt to break
the deadlock, but could not re
port any progress. In some quar-
tiers it was said it would be better
to have the legislation fail thar
to have the House bill enacted, be
cause that would preclude further
liberalization of the retirement law
for at least several years to come.
On the other hand, If the deadlock
continues now the same legislation
can be brought up again for fur

that the Senate will be able to

Since then, Prince Bibesco has
been recalled by his government
because Of atisfaction in Buch-
Arrest with the handling Of debt
funding negotiations.
The incident in which Princess
Bibesco figures, however, concerns
the Presidential campaign Of 1924
In the heat OF that campaign, the
English wife OF the Rumanian dip
l0nnat wrote letter to the New
Republic, urging the claims Of
John w. Davis and the Democratic
party.
Criticizing the convention that
nominated La Toilette on a third
party ticket the Princess said that
the Republican party and the Pro-
gressives were surrounded by
satellites and supporters rather than
by equals and contributors. and
said that the Democratic party was
the only party which Is not the
acquiescent echo either Of a man
or q superman." It was signed
elizabeth Bibesco.
The letter appeared in an incon-
spicuous place In the magazine, but
State Department officials expected
an explosion from it any moment.
It is understood that all prepara<
tons had BEEN made to suggest to
Prince Bibesco that another Capital
than washington would better suit
his wife's letter-writing proclivities.
