DISCUSSION SEPT. ).
ON GENERALIZATION
Commissioners and Arts
Body to Confer on Group
ing City Activities.

The Commission of Fine Arts and
the District Commissioners will hold
a joint session at the District Build
ing September to discuss the plan
for the Capitalization Of all municipal
activities in the area located between
Third and Sixth streets and Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana avenues.
The plan contemplates the grouping
Of a number Of buildings, facing on
both Pennsylvania and Indiana ave-
nues. 1t also provides for the widen
ing Of John Marshall place, the prin-
cipal north and south thoroughfare
through the area. with a view to pro-
viding a magnificent vista to the
courthouse.
A preliminary study Of the housing
needs Of the District government
shows that the proposed municipal
group Of buildings will have to con.
tain about 26O,416 square feet of floor
space. for the activities quartered in
the District Building, and those which
will be forced out of the Pennsylvania
avenue triangle by the Federal Gov
ernment's building program.
These calculations are based on the
needs 10 years hence. The immediate
needs, however, would require 150,754
square feet of floor space.

By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
BUDAPEST. Hungary, August e.
Premier Bratiano has ordered a dou.
BILE guard to keep utmost vigilance at
all border points where former Crown
Prince Carol might attempt to enter
the country. according to Bucharest
dispatches reaching here.
Opposition parties in Rumanls.
while ostensbly manifesting loyalty
to the new sovereign and the regency,
say these dispatches. actually would
welcome any change in the dynasty
that would overthrow the regime Of
Premier Bratiano. Carol is declared
to be still popular with certain sec.
tons OF the army, although perhaps
somewhat less than six months ago,
and many Rumanians are represented
as believing that his return, either
secretly or legally, is not excluded
az q possibility. 1t is stated that, re-
alizing this, M. Bra tiano has ordered
the double border guard at strategic
points.
The Bucharest dispatches say that
efforts are being made by the Ru-
manian government to induce early

ernments. Thus far. it is added, not a
single foreign representative has pre-
scented his credentials to the new re-
gime, the comment being made that
all the foreign countries apparently
want first to satisfy themselves that
the boy sovereign and his supporting
regents have come to stay and that
Carol will not make an attempt to
upset the throne.
A few days after King Ferdinands
funeral, the Rumanian foreign Office
sent out feelers to members of the
diplomatic corps in Bucharest to de-
termine whether their governments
were ready to have them present
fresh letters of credence to the new
King. Most Of the Ministers found
solution to the awkward situation by
absenting themselves on vacation"
from Bucharest. and sending a brief
note to the Rumanian foreign office
explaining 1t might be better to take
up the question of presenting their
credentials upon their return to
Bucharest in the Autumn.
