OLD SENATE FOES
STILL FIGHT COURT
Those Who Opposed Adher-
enCe 3 Years Ago Give No.
tice of Opposition.


Opposition to the new plan for
American entry into the World Court,
as determined as that which met the
original proposal for the adherence of
the Washington Government, is de-
veloping in the Senate,
The group of Senators that three
years ago voted against the United
States becoming allied with the inter-
national tribunal, even under the res
ervstions then attached, is apparently
@ much dissatisfied with the new ar
rangement as 1t was with the old.
How much of factor in the Ser
ates final vote this opposition will bS,
of course remains to be determined,
but notice has been given by the group
that the modification of the courts
rules of procedure, affected in an ell
fort to facilitate American entry, is JILL
acceptable.
Protocol Signed Yesterday.
A new protocol of American ao-
herence was signed yesterday al
Geneva on behalf of the Washington
Government, together with protocols OF
revised statutes. 1t is expected that
President Hoover will not submit the
protocols for ratification until after
Secretary Stmson returns from the
London Naval Limitation Conference.
The old Senate objection, as expressed
in it's famous fifth reservation, would
have made it impossible for the court to
entertain a request for an advisory
opinion on a question in which the
United States might have or claim an
interest without American consent. This
stipulation was unacceptable to the
nations afiliated with the court and
they refused to admit the Washington
Government upon such condition
Last Spring, however, a modification
Of court methods was effected, designed
to give the United States voice in re-
quests for advisory opinions equal to
that of any member of the League Of
Nations. This was done with view to
obviating the difficulties then blocking
American entrance.
Express Opposition.
Chairman Borah of the foreign re-
lations committee, Senator johnson Of
California, the ranking Republican on
the committee, and Senator Moses of
New Hampshire have expressed out
spoken opposition to the new arrange
ment. They were prominent in the fight
against participation three years ago.
Although there was some uncertainty
as to how the votes of new members of
the Senate would be cast, it was gen.
orally expected that the lineup would
be sim!l3r to that developed by the
World Court question three years ago.
Then, IS votes were cast against ad-
herence under the reservations, to 76
for American entry. A two-thirds vote
of approval is necessary for ratification.

D. c. BUYS INITIAL
TRACT FOR CENTER
Commissioners o. K. Pay
ment of S28, 900 for 315
Pennsylvania Avenue.

The District Commissioners yesterday
authorized the purchase Of the first
parcel of land Of the four blocks on
which the Municipal Center will even
tually stand The parcel in question con-
sisted OF $500 square feet, improved by
the business houses of Wah Hing Co.
Chinese importers, 31S Pennsylvania
avenue. Besides marking the first land
purchase for the new center, the pur-
chase marked the beginning of the
ed in the city heads plans for the CEN
ter. All property between Third and
Sixth streets, Pennsylvania avenue and
judiciary Square, will eventually be
bought.
The price paid was $4,000. or 1l2
per cent of the assessed value. The
purchase was made through Thomas
j. Fisher. Inc. The property fronts Is
feet on Pennsylvania avenue, and the
building is not thought suitable for any
needs the Commissioners now have for
housing departments of their govern
ment, as it is too small.
Other Property Uses.
Other larger properties, however,
when bought will be used at once TO
house District agencies looking for
homes either as a result Of present
overcrowding or of being forced out OF
their present quarters altogether by ex-
pansion of the Federal Governments
building program.
It is understood that negotiations are
being carried on for the purchase OF
second piece Of property, which Will be
concluded in a few days. Actual con
struction work on the new center Is not
expected to start for at least one year,
during which time further properties
will be acquired and plans for the new
center drawn up.
New Tags Approved.
The Commissioners, at their board
meeting, also approved the new flat-fln-
ish automobile tags, which have caused
some criticism recently. The tags are
for 1880. No varnish has been put on
these tags, but the Commissioners up
held a report by George S. Wilson, di-
rector of public welfare, to the effect
that the new type tags, besides being
easier to manufacture than the old,
would last longer and remain more Wis
ible.
Mr.. Wilson'S report was based on an
examination Of the new type tags by the
Bureau Of Standards, which reported
them superior in durability" to the
tags with the varnish finish.
Six policemen were appointed to the
force by the Commissioners. The men
are to serve probationary periods of one
year each. They are Henry Worken-
tine. James z. Dawn, Page o. Mangum,

LOOKING BACK COSTLY.

James Crawford, who had just reached
the conclusion he didn't want to spend
last night at No. precinct. reached K
street q moment or two later.
Crawford was making satisfactory
progress until he decided to look back
and count the policemen, whereupon he
was felled rather abruptly from In front.
It was an electric light pole and not a
night stick that Crawford had en-
countered.
Crawford, who is 80 and lives in the
1900 block of Nineteenth street, next
went to Emergency Hospital, where he
was found to be slightly lacerated, and
then back to No. 8 precinct on a
drunkenness charge-where he spent
the night.
