GARBAGE DISPOSAL
PLANT HERE URGED
Bureau of Efficiency Recon-.
mends Modernization of
D. c. Methods.

determination OF the Districts meth
DDS for the disposal of garbage, rub
bish and ashes Is urged In a report re-
ceived by the Commissioners today from
the Federal Bureau Of Efficiency. the
report Is based on q survey OF the
refuse division of the District, which
was made by the bureau at the re-
quest OF the Gibson subcommittee OF
the House District committee.
A bill now pending in Congress Is
designed to meet the bureaus recon-
mendations In this respect. It provides
for the erection of garbage reduction
plant and three high-temperature in
Generators within the District. The
bureau suggested that the reduction
plant and one of the incinerators be
located In the vicinity OF Brentwood
road and Ninth street northeast, and
that the two others be placed along the
river. one in the vicinity Of tho mouth
Of Rock Creek and the other in the
| vinicity OF Thirteenth and Water streets
southeast.
The Commissioners have opposed this
bill, but 1t has been Endorsed by the
Federation Of Citizens Associations and
the Citizens Advisory Council. Con-
struction of loading stations adjacent
70 the incinerators proposed to be located
on the river Is recommended by the
bureau. The residue from the incinera-
| tors as we'll as the city's ashes would
be transported from these stations by
scows to either 0ravelIy Point or Blue
Plains. under the bureaus recommenda-
| ton.
"The present methods for disposing
| OF the three types of refuse-garbage,
rubbish and ashes-are inadequate" !"
| said the bureaus report. Measures
| for improving present conditions are es-
pecially urgent in the case of rubbish
because the dump nuisance has assumed
proportions that demand immediate
correction. The installation OF inciner-
ators will correct this condition and at
the same time will relieve to some ex-
tent the immediate urgency for new
dumps, since all material will be re-
duced to ashes before being dumped.
The dumps would not then be OBJ
| tectional. However. all available Dump
ing space in the city will soon be filled

GOLD CALLED STOLEN.
Russian Money Offers Problem for
Courts in Z. S.

Russian Money Offers Problem for
Courts in U. s.
NEW YORK. March 10 CP>.-Twenty
crimson casks containing S5,2ol 900 IN
Russian gold today were involved in a
complicated legal mesh with their own
ership at issue.
Suit was filed by the Bank of France
In the Federal Court here to recover
the gold bars which are now held by
the Equitable Trust Co. and the Chase
National Bank. The suit is based on
the assertion that the metal was stolen
from the vaults Of the State Bank OF
the Russian Empire after the Bolshe-
visit revolution.
The legal aspect was complicated by
the fact that American courts have
ruled that the Soviet can neither sue
or be sued since 1t is not recognized
by the United States as being legally
an entity. Accordingly 1t cannot be-
come a party TO any legal action con-
nected with the present suit.
Thus trial of the suit is expected to
raise many intricate questions OF In
ternatioual Law, and involve the attt-
tude of the American Government to-
ward the Soviet government.
The gold was sent here from Russia
last month to facilitate handling OF
trading between America and Russia.
When it was presented for assay. the
Treasury Department refused to re-
ce!ve il unless the two New York banks
would guarantee title to it.
Taking the position that they were
acting as agents only for Russia, the
banks refused 10 do this. The refusal
OF assay was based On seven-year -old
embargo on Russian gold established
because it was held that title TO it was
not clearly established.
As long as the embargo exists the
gold cannot be specie. Its present
status is simply that 1t Is 20 casks of
material being held in bank vaults for
the Soviet.

situation as suggested In the recon-

Although the need for new garbage
plant is not as Immediately urgent as
for rubbish fncinerators, nevertheless.
detailed study should now be given the
problem Of garbage disposal inasmuch
as arguments In favor of a new plant

able; consideration of this cannot be
