HARRIS DEFENDS
BRICK POLICY

Municipal Architect Albert t.
Harris today denied to the Gibson
subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee, which Is investigat-
ing the so-called District brick scan
dial, all of the charges of discrimi-
nation which have been made
against him by Henry E. Stringer,
vice president Of the Hydraulic
Pressed Brick Company.
Harris called before the commit
tee several local architects who
supported his Judgment in the selec.
ton of brick for local schools.
Among the architects who ap.
peared were Lewis Justement, presi.
dent of the Washington Chapter of
the American Institute of Archi-
tects, and Horace w. Peaslee. chair.
man of the committee on the Ma
tional Capital of the Institute.
The architects agreed in their
brick should not be used in build
artistic reasons.
They said his brick, which sells
for $40 a thousand, is too ''mechan-
ically perfect" and said they would
prefer using less perfect brick at
$26 a thousand.
Harris told the committee that
Stringer had failed TO present any
thing concrete" to support his
charges of discrimination. "Stringer
is complaining because he has been
unable to meet the strict compeCi-
tion," Harris said.
Members of the committee did
not seem TO agree with the archi.
tects viewpoint in regard TO archi.
tecturaI merits of the brick.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
Chairman Gibson announced that
the investigation would be resumed
Thursday at 10 a. m., and that
Harris would be continued on the
stand.
Representative Ralph Gilbert of
Kentucky stated that at the end of
the investigation of brick contracts
he had several other matters on
which he wanted to cross.examine
Harris.
Gibson announced that when they
were through with Harris, he was
planning to call the District Com.
missioners before the committee to
inquire of them why they have
failed to adopt recomme ndations by
the Bureau of Efficiency which
would save the District several
hundred thousands OF dollars.
