SUbWAYS PLANNED
FOR i. S. TRIANGLE.
Commission Suggests New
Route, Under B Street,
for Street Cars.

Subways were proposed for the new
triangular Federal building area south
Of Pennsylvania avenue yesterday by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission in laying down
policy banning street car lines from
traversrg the zone from east to west.
The underground route, if adopted,
will run under B street, carrying sur
face cars to subway stations in the
area to prevent congestion there.
For the early future. the present
traffic lanes will probably carry the
load, but as the number of Govern.
ment workers increases, the commits.
sion said. more east and west street
car facilities would be needed.
Object to Surface Cars.
Flat objection was made to any sur.
face cars running on B street, which
is to be developed into great avenue
bordering the Mall from the Capitol
to the Lincoln Memorial and the
Arlington Memorial Bridge. This
avenue. it was pointed out, should be
free Of all distractions, and would
probably be the avenue Of great pa
rades in the future.
The proposed subways would enter
the ground about Third street at their
eastern termini, according to the plan
suggested by the planning commits
sion, and would be similar to the
Boston subways, with entrances from
the street above. They would proceed
underground on each side of the big
triangle full of public buildings, prob
ably tunnel under the Ellipse back of
the White House and emerge beyond
into the northwest section of the city.
The B street subway would be the
first one needed, it was pointed out,
and then IL the number Of employees
should increase in the triangle so that
the present Pennsylvania avenue
lines and the B street subway would
not suffice, the Pennsylvania avenue
subway could be constructed.
Sufficient property will be available
to place the B street subway under
ground between the curb of B street
and the front of the new buildings,
which are all to be connected with

DEFINITE PLAN FOR
NAVAL LIMITATION
Broad Proposals, With Tech
nicaI Details, Expected to
Be Presented.
SOME CONFUSION SEEN
OVER AGENDA OF PARLEY
British Delegate Differs With
Americans Over Scope-First
Meeting Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.


GENEVA, June 1S.-Indcations are
that the American delegation at the
naval parley, which opens here Mon
day, not only will outline broad pro-
posals for the limitation of the total
tonnage of cruisers, destroyers and
submarines, but will accompany this
with a definite plan treating the prob
lem in all of its technical details.
Meanwhile considerable uncertain
ty and confusion exists concerning
the British Interpretation of the
agenda. Shortly after his arrival
here today, w. c. Bridgeman, first
lord of the admiralty, said that he un-
derstood that the conference would
treat all questions concerning the
limitation of ships
Differs With Americans.
Receiving British correspondence
this afternoon, he gave the impression
to some of them that the agenda was
not restricted to matters which had
not. been covered in the Washington
conference, a point of view that is not
shared by the American delegation.
The japanese are sitting tight and
are saying nothing additional to yes
terdays announcement, when it was
clearly stated that they have no inten-
ton of taking up the question of naval
bases.
Should the British raise the ques-
tion of the size of battleships, it is
presumed that the American delega-
ton will point out that the Washing
ton treaty provides for second Wash
ington parley in 1881, to consider what
change, if any. is necessary to meet
technical and scientific development.
Will Meet Earlier.
1t also is felt that any desirable
reduction in the size of heavy ships
must be reserved for that occasion,
when both France and Italy will be
full-fiedged participants. rather than
represented merely by observers as
at the forthcoming tripartite con-
ference.
A decision was reached today to,
open the conference at O'Clock in
the afternoon instead OF at o'clock,
as had hitherto been planned.
Hugh Gibson, head of the American
delegation, will hold a reception to.
morrow for all delegates to the con.
ference, thus giving them an oppor.
tunity to become acquainted with one
another.

NEW ORLEANS, June 1s.-The
New Orleans States today published q
statement in which Secretary Hoover
says that the economic loss from the
Mississippi flood probably will run
from 100000 to 100000, 900.
I'm human terms this Mississippi
River flood of 1927 means 100000 peo.
pie flooded, 100000 driven from their
homes or made dependent upon re.
lief" the statement said.
The economic loss will probably
run from $200.O00,000 to $500. 0.Ooo, 900.
THAT 100000 of our, countrymen
should continue to live in such jeop.
ardy is unthinkable.
$3O,Oo0,O00 for Relief.
America will spend more than $30,.
100000 in flood relief in one form or
another this year, and that is but q
small part.
Every worker. every farmer, every
investor in the United States will bear
some part of the shock.
"All engineering plans for flood con-
troll of the river must be revised
against any possible combination OF
floods from the tributaries.
The main thing is a plan bold and
strong enough to deal with the ques.
ton in f1nality. For we must live
with the river for thousands Of years
yet.
"As an engineer, have a technical
interest in this problem. AS a citizen,
my mind is filled with recollections Of
suffering and misery have seen.
''The levee system must be revised
AMI strengthened. Above all we must
have some safety devices to relieve
the strain on the levee system in
periods Of super floods and make them
absolutely sure once and for all.

"Spillways in Louisiana are pro.

of all tributaries are also proposed.
Il am convinced that our engineers
can develop plans that will prevent
