able to move into the Southern Rail-
way Building at Thirteenth street and

of 100000 square feet. The Depart
ment of Justice at the present time Is
using 145,000 square feet OF space IN
several buildings. If all units Of justice
are placed In the Southern Railway

siderable amount Of space for some other
governmental activities. Senator Smoot
said the commission would begin sur
vey Monday to determine what other
agency is to be placed there.
1t was indicated that the prohibition
unit might be moved into the same
building with the Department OF Justice,
but this will not be definitely decided
until the proposed survey is completed.
There has also been discussion OF plac-
ing the new Federal Farm Board in the

MUNICIPAL CENTER
BIDS TO Be SOUGHT
Purchasing Committee Pre-.
pared to Accept Property
Offers at Once.

Owners Of property in the four
squares to be acquired for the building
Of the municipal center will be asked
soon to submit offers to the District
government. All offers Of property ut
reasonable prices will be accepted i'm
mediately. This decision was reached
at the first meeting of the committee
on the purchase of the site for the
municipal center, held yesterday after
noon.
The squares in question are bounded
by Pennsylvania avenue, Third and
Sixth streets and Judiciary Square.
The committee on purchase Is COM
posed of Assistant Engineer Commits
Sioner Layson E. Atkins, chairman;
Tax Assessor William p. Richards and
Corporation Counsel William w. Bride.
The District has available $4,000, 900
appropriated from its cash surplus by
the special session of Congress for the
purchase. No priority will be observed
in the squares to be purchased by ne
collation., and offers from property
owners in any square will be received.
The work OF acquiring property is ex-
pected to last about year before any

building expected to be put up will be
in the northwest square and will house
a court building with space for the
municipal, police and juvenile courts,
and also for the Offices of the recorder

NEWPLANES ARRIVE
AT BOILING FIELD
Details of Experimental OBJ

Military Secrets.

Two new experimental Army observa-
ton planes, equipped with rsdial air.
cooled engines, are at Boiling Field to-
day en- route to Kelly Field, San An
tonic, Tex, where they will be subjected
TO flying tests.
The planes are smaller than the con-
ventional type of Army observation ship
and are among the first OF this class
ever to be equipped with air-cooled en-
gines. Details of the planes are care
fully guarded military secrets, under
the general policies adopted last year
by the Army and Navy Departments
governing new types Of airplanes.
known as XO-14 and XO-I5.
The planes are known as the XO-14
and XO-15, the tx" standing for "ex-
perimental," the 20" for observation
and the numerals show that the planes
are the fourteenth and fifteenth types
in the line OF Army observation ships.
One of the planes was built at the
Douglass plant in Santa Monica, Calf.
where many of the standard type OBJ.
servation planes now in the service were
produced. The parts we're shipped tt
the Air Corps material division al
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, for as.
sembly and the plane was flown from
Dayton to this city.
The other ship is Keystone product
and was built at Bristol, Pa, and flown
here.
Powered With Wright Motors.
Both planes are Of the light observa-
ton class and are powered with Wright
Whirlwind J-6 motors. Each plane car

o'clock tomorrow morning, making sew
eral stops en- route.
The Air Corps expects delivery soor
of two additional experimental type OBJ
servation planes which will be without
parallel in any military air force ir
the world. They will be powerful
twin-motored flying wings" capable Of
speeds OF $50 miles per hour or better
Two Of the planes have been contracted
for and are being built by the Fokkel
plant.
In these planes the motors will bt
built into the wings, and the fuselagt
will be so faired into the wing Struc-
ture as to become almost an integral
part of the wing. The landing wheels
will be retractable, folding up into the
wings so as to reduce air interference.
An all-metal type of observation plane
has been undergoing tests for some time
It is two-seater Thomas-Morse biplane
with a radial air-cooled engine. This
plane has been assigned to duty with
one Of the Western observation squad
rons during the trial period.
