Enlargement of Building and Purchase of Addi- tional Land Recom- mended to Congress.
BY GEORGE B. MANNING


 Washington Bureau of the N. 5. Herald,
 Washington, D. C., Jan. IT, A recommendation that the present post office building at New Britain be enlarged and that additional land be acquired for this purpose at to- tai cost of $2T5,000 was transmitted to congress today by the secretary of the treasury and the postmaster general.
 Secretary Mellon and Postmaster General New sent to congress the re- port of the joint committee on public buildings of the treasury and post office departments after an hours conference with President Coolidge as a guide to congress in appropri- ating to take care of the federal building needs in every city in the country.
 New Britain is one of 225 cities in the country with postal receipts of over s20.C0o year recommended for new or enlarged post offices fol- lowing a survey begun last sprIne and just completed by the joint com- mittee of the two departments un- der the provisions of the Elliott pub lie building act passed by congress last May.
 Regarding New Britain the joint committees report says:
 "The post office at New Britain is now using 5,S06 square feet of floor space and renting 2,400 square feet, the rented space costing s4,S00 per annum. The postal workroom space is very congested, there being only fl square feet per employe at the present time.
 "In order to relieve the congestion in the main workroom, increase the lobby space, care for the 2,400 square feet now rented, and provide for future growth, it will be neces- sary to furnish 9.014 square feet ad- ditional of fedora! space.
 We recommend that this addi- tional space be provided. It is un- derstood that adjoining land can be acquired. The rentals to be saved will total s4,300 per annum."
 Connecticut has 37 post offices with receipts in excess of s2o,ooo a year, 19 of which have government owned buildings.

Arrive at Scene and Declare Rama Neutral Zone Just as Liberal, Were About to Attack General Mena Com plains.
''Insurgent", in Special In- terview, Denies Mexico Is Aiding Him and Says His Arms Were Bought in US.

Washington, Jan. 17.-RHSecre- tary Kellogg issued a formal state- ment today denying published stories that change is contemplated in the American policy toward Nicaragua,
 In issuing the statement MT. Kel. logg took cognizance of an article appearing in the Washington Post today forecasting change in tac- ties in dealing with the Central American problem, and recession from the position stated in President Coolidge's special message to Con- sress. The article also declared moves were being made toward a compromise that might involve tho retirement of Adolfo Diaz as the Nicaraguan president.
 Formal Statement
 The statement issued by the secre- tary follows: There has been no change what ever in this governments attitude towards Nicaragua as outlined in the presidents message. From the be- ginning of the trouble over a year ago, the United States offered it's good offices and exerted its inffu- ence to compose the differences. The same attitude has existed ever since Dlaz was elected president, nor is any change contemplated.
 Asked if he had knowledge of any recent move by Admiral Latimer looking to a peace conference. the secretary indicated that instructions to Minister Eberhardt at Mana1ua. and to Admiral Latimer had ! continuously been broad enough to permit them to take any such steps as might appear appropriate. No re- l cent reports as to efforts they have made in that direction have been re- celved by the state department.
 MT. Kellogg called yesterday at tho home of Chairman Borah of tho senate foreign relations committee. who has disagreed with the admins. tration policy, and then again talked over the general Nicaraguan prob lem. Neither would discuss details of the conference.
