UTILITIES EXPERT
NOT TO Be CHOSEN
Harris Duties in Corporation
CounsePs Office to
Be Absorbed.

The vacancy to be caused in the cor
poration counSelS Office by the reSlgna-
ton of Ringgold Hart as principal as
SiStant corporation counsel, effective
September /. will not be filled by an
expert on public utilities matters. Com
missioner Sidney F. Taliaferro has made
this clear following visit yesterday by
William NICK. Clayton of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, who suggested
that Mr.. Harris place be filled by an
acknowledged expert in public utilities
matters.
Mr.. Taliaferro said today that the
requirements CT the job called for a
man versed in administrative and mu-
nicipal law generally and not for spe-
cialist in public utilities matters. As
sistant Corporation Counsel Robert E.
Lynch is already the specially desig-
mated member of the Districts legal
staff to take care of public utility
questions, and in addition Peoples
the people as attorney on all matters
before the commission.
Hearings before the Public Utilities
Commission" Mr.. Taliaferro explained,
"are in the nature of trial in law
court, and the problem there is mainly
to get the record in such good shape
that when the case is taken into the
courts by an aggrieved party the COM
mission will have a substantial record
IN which to fight its case. On the mem
bership of the commission is Mr.. Har-
leigh H. Hartman a recognized expert
in public utilities law. I feel that Mr.
Hartman, Mr.. Fleharty and Mr.. Lynch
will take such good care of the commits
sion's side of public utilities cases at this
lime that there is no need for the addition
to the corporation counSel'S staff Of a
public utilities expert. 1t would prob
ably not be possible in any event to
secure a real public utilities expert to
take a place as assistant corporation
counsel.
ION the cases that have gone to court
from the commission since Mr.. Lynch
has been presenting them, an excellent
record has been made and I am quite
satisfied with the situation"
Mr.. Taliaferro said that he had not
made up his mind as to who should be
Mr.. Harris successor although several
had been mentioned to him by
friends of certain aspirants. Mr.. Hart
is spending his last day in the District
Building to day as he leaves on months
vacation Monday and his resignation
takes effect September /.

The North German Lloyd steamship
Bremen, now seeking to break the
records on the eastward passage Of the

American naval men say was developed
largely through the efforts Of Rear Ad-
miral d. w. Taylor, U. S. N, retired,

Navy. The Dubious bow, as it Is called,
was designed and tested in the Wash
ington Navy Yard, the officers assert,
and practical construction was begun In
the United States Navy.
Admiral Taylor, a friend Of Secre-
tary Adams, Is vice chairman Of the
national advisory committee for aero
nautics and makes his home in Wash
ington. The Dubious type bow was first
used on the U. s. s. Delaware and y.
S. s. South Dakota, 1t was said today

present fields could provide for another
100000. Then there are approx
mately 08,000,000 acres Of potential
crop land still uncultivated. The drift
to the cities, it is predicted, will not be
checked until the demand for food
products equals the production.
A population of 200,000,000, it Is
pointed out, means no lowering of the
standard of living. japan supports one
person on a quarter Of an acre. BY
allowing four times that amount to
take care of unproductive land, the
United States could produce food for
approximately a billion individuals,
which is far greater population than
ever will be reached, according to all
present indications. Although food
production for the 100000 estimated
population probably could be carried
on with no increase at all in the farm
population this probably will increase
slightly, the report points out, because
of higher standards of living and
shorter hours for the rural population.
The present problem, the report says,
may be that of removing farmers from
poor land and preventing unused poor
land from being brought into use. No
more "back-to-the-land movements" 1t
points out. are desirable for long
time to come.

POST OFFICE SHIFT
TO Be MADE SOON
New Anacostia Building Ex-
pected to Be Occupied by
End of August.

Preparations for moving the Ana
costa Post Office station from its pres
ent site at 2018 Nichols avenue to the
new quarters at 1920 Good Hope road,
upon the expirement of 10-year lease,
are nearly complete, post Office officials
announced today.
The exact date is uncertain, but
moving Is expected to commence with
in the next few days, when the in
spectors have formally passed on the
fitness of the new building. Trucks
from the Post ONCE Department will
transport most of the equipment and
other material of the station to the
new quarters Monday, it is believed,
although this date is still uncertain as
it depends upon the approval of the
inspectors and the winding up of bust
ness in the old Office.
It was originally planned to vacate
the present station before July l, but
due to a delay in the equipping of the
new building evacuation had to be post
poned. Officials of the Post Office De-
partment are confident, however, that
the Anacostia station will be located in
its new quarters before the end OF
August, at the latest.

Proposed New Tracts Are Not
Announced in View of
Public Policy.
REPORT is ALSO MADE
ON RECREATION SYSTEM
Development Of Airport at Gravelly
Point Weighed by Plan
ming Board.

Proposed plans for purchases to ex-
tend Washington's growing park and
playground system were considered at
todays session of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. which
entered upon second day Of the
monthly meeting.
The commission withheld informa-
ton on these tracts. however, on the
ground of public policy
The commission considered the report
on the recreational system Of the city,
submitted by its city planner, Charles
w. Eliot, I'd, and likewise gave attention
to the report of the organiza ton of the
Washington regional supply committee,
participated in by Maryland and Vir-
glnia authorities, to investigate water
resource and uses for the metropolitan
area for the neXt half century.
Mr.. Eliot laid before the commission
a further proposed study Of the de-
velopment of the projected Washington
airport at Gravelly Point. This COM
plete set of finished drawings was made
by Eugene H. CalliSon, Yale grad
uate student, as part of his post-grad-
uate course. The commission gave at
tention to the drawings, but took no
further action on them at this time
The commission already has suggested
that the Washington airport should be
constructed at Gravelly Point. Mr..
Callison previously made study Of
the Washington airport situation and
the plans just submitted represent fur
Their details of the project.
The commissions agenda included
consideration Of the proposed industrial
development Of the Washington water
front between the Army War College
and the navy yard, In the BuzZards
Point area. A report on this project
has been laid before the commission
and was prepared under the direction
of Capt. E. N. Chisholm, jr., the COM

squad made OCT arrests for violation of
various laws and made 3,796 inspections.

Serious Crimes Few.
"While dispassionate survey of con-
ditionS offers convincing proof OF the
fact that the city has been singularly
free from crime of serious nature,
except as regards homicideS," said In
spector Shelby, "it Is likewise fact
that with increased personnel and i'm
proved facilities, this bureau would be
able to accomplish greater results in the
suppression of crime in general than Is
at present possible.
1.-THE number of local assignments Is
increasing, and will naturally continue
to increase as the population increases,
and 1t, therefore, must be apparent that
1t Is q physical imposSibility for the
small group of officers detailed as de-
tective sergeants, even though they
work long hours and put forth the most
diligent effort Of which they are ca
pable, to give to each case assigned
tk1dO AlLCA44SCA1C, CdL C1uA hiA0 PnAAAoecf>-
ing effort which work of this highly
specialized character demands. The
inevitable result has been that cases
Of seemingly great importance receive
continued attention, whereas those Of
seemingly minor Importance from the
police viewpoint, but nevertheless of
paramount importance to the complain
ant are necessarily neglected.
added to the problem Of the ever
increasing number of legitimate cases
coming to the bureau for assignment
and investigation is the fact that the
bureau is continually called upon to
furnish special details of plain-clothes
men for receptions, for unusual gather
ings of large numbers of people. and for
safeguarding the person of distin-
guished official guests, which duties
necessarily interfere, to great extent,
with the proper and continued transact
ton Of work on regular assignments"
