ARCHIVES BUILDING
INCREASE BACKED
$8,750,000 Appropriation
and Change of Location Get
Approval in House.

From Yesterdays $50 Edition of The Star.
The House today approved the pro-
vision in the TreaSury-Post Office ap-
preparation bill authorizing an increase
from $6,900,000 for the Archives Build
ing to $8,750,000 and the change in To-
cation for this building.
The House also approved continual
tion under the lump sum of $23, ,040, 900
of other public buildings now being
erected in Washington, including the
Administration Building of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, the Extensible
Building for the Department of Agri-
culture the Commerce Building, the ad-
dition to the Government Printing Of
flee and the Internal Revenue Building.
$5,OO0,0OO Sum Approved.
The House approved the appropria-
ton of $5,000000 during the next fiscal
year toward acquiring sites in the tri-
angle south of Pennsylvania avenue to
the Mall for new public buildings.
An item of $350,000 for remodeling
public buildings in Washington and an
other item of 100000 for rent of tenn
porary quarters here were also ap-
proved.
When these items for Capital i'm
provement under the five-year public
building program came up in the House
today, Representative Black, Democrat,
of Texas, offered an amendment to re-
store the original authorization of
$6,900,000 for the Archives Building,
arguing that the supervising architect
had stated in hearings that Congress
had not yet designated what class of
records should be kept in this building
or how 1t should be administered.
Representative Dallinger of MaSSa-
chuSetts, one of the original boosters
for an Archives Building, expressed very
strong interest that the Archives Build
ing should not be too small in size, and
that it should be given a sufficiently
large and adequate location.
Urges Importance Of Work.
Representative Wood of Indiana, in
charge of the bill, emphasized that
nothing should be done to interfere
with or impede the public building pro-
gram, pointing out that the Archives
Building is one of those most urgently
needed and that the architects In
changing the site and providing for a
larger structure are considering this
building not by itself alone, but also
as it fits in with the co-ordinated plan
for developing the entire triangle area
south of Pennsylvania avenue.
Mr. Wood explained that the Archives
Building is not being erected to take
care only of immediate needs, but to
provide adequate space for $50 years to
come for housing the valuable historical
records, many of which are now stored
in cellars and in buildings of flre-trap
character. The Black amendment was
rejected.

zens will be selected by the court to
view the property to be condemned and,

from interfering with the operation of

inStituting criminal prosecution against
her for conducting the school in viola
tion Of an ordinance of the Park and
Planning Commission adopted by the
county commissioners acting as dis
trict council. Counsel for the plaintiff
then filed line with the clerk of tha
court, diSmissing as defendants all but
the commission and the county COM

The principal purpose of the proceed
ing is to have the ordinance declared

continue conduct of her school.
The principal arguments were SUBJ
mitted by Claudian B. Northrop of
Washington on behalf of Mrs. Cunning
ham and j. Bond Smith of Takoma
Park, representing the commission. 1t
was held by Mr. Smith that inasmuch
as Mrs. Cunningham had neglected to
appeal to the county commissioners,
sitting as coming appeal board, the
Circuit Court is without jurisdiction.
During the hearing reference was
made to a decision of the United
States Supreme Court November 10 in
case brought up from the State of
Washington, in which an ordinance
similar to the one objected to in this
case was declared invalid
The hearing was adjourned with as
surances from the counsel for the de.
PENDANTS that no steps would be taken
to interfere with Mrs. Cunningham'S
School, pending final decision on the
question of the validity of the

LONG WAVE RADIO
HELD MOBILE NEED
Italia'e Position Could Then
Be Fixed, Is BeIief-Byrd
Urged to Carry Set.

There's an object lesson for other
aeronautical ventures into the great
wastes. particularly Comdr. Byrd's FORTH
coming South Pole expidition, in the
uncertainties of the radio communica-
ton with the dirigible Italia, now lost
in the Arctic for exactly a week,
Sporadic short wave signals were
heard for time from the Italian
airship. But it was impossible to take
direction bearings on these signals. Un-
like the longer waves or low frequencies.
which do not travel so far, short waves
or high frequencies do not actuate the
direction finding apparatus with which
most ships and coast stations are now
equipped.
Thus. had Gen. Mobile carried a long
wave transmitter, in addition to his
short wave apparatus, the source of his
signals could have been recorded. Re-
lief expeditions could be hurried in that
particular direction. The Italias radio
would inevitably be heard somewhere in
the North If it transmitted on 900 me-
ters, which Is the SOS and call signal
standby wave for ships and stations
Of the whole world.
But the dirigible carried only short
wave transmitter, sending signals on
several channels which were heard as
far away as San Francisco and yet not
heard at Oslo The reason is the skip
distance" effect of short waves, which
carries them over tremendous distances
and to many far corners Of the earth.
Long waves do not travel nearly so
far, but 1t is n significant fact that the
United States Navy prefers to sacrifice
distance to the precaution OF direction
finding and accordingly employs long
waves chiefly on its ships.
Comdr Byrd 1t is understood, Is max
ing no arrangements to carry long as
well as short-wave apparatus. AS on
the Americas transatlantic hop, he in
tends to employ light high frequency
transmitting apparatus 1t Is under
stood that he is being urged to equip
his expedition also with a long wave
sending set, even though 1t adds bulk
and means more expense.
Navigation bearings being taken on
long waves furnish an everyday example
of their immense utility. But they had
an even more significant utility during
the war when United States Navy dl-
rection finders. equipped with the Kol-
ster coil developed at the Bureau OF
Standards by the man who Is now best
known as a radio set manufacturer,
were able to pick UP the transmissiors
from German submarines. Knowing the
path of the signal, the American naval
officers could guide transport and other
allied vessels out OF the U-boat paths.
