TRAFFIC HURTS
EMBASSIES

Foreign embassies in Washington.

The beautiful frescoed walls OF
the Italian embassy are marred by

the plaster has fallen.
During a recent reception at the
French embassy a large section of
the ceiling fell, fortunately in a
room which was not being occupied
at the time.
The Netherlands lega ton has SUI.
Tered and to even greater extent
the Lithuanian legation has been

The marble palace recently pur-
chased by the Spanish government

quantities of plaster have fallen in
this building.

this beautiful section of the cit".
headed by Mrs. John B. Henderson.

also has suffered from the excessive
vibrations caused by heavy trucks,
1t was learned that an ambassa-
dor had called on one of the Dis.
trict Commissioners in an effort to
have the trucks diverted from this
street. and had been rebuffed, 1t
Is now planned, according to the
spokesman for Mrs. Henderson, to
take the matter up with the state
Department.
The representative for Mrs. Hen.
derson pointed out that heavy traf.
fic is barred on Massachusetts Ave-
nue. and on Sixteenth Street as far
north as Florida Avenue.
But this section. in respect to
our foreign and official guests. is
the very section which should be

The remedy lies, in diverting the
