Mitchell to Move Offices to
Southern Rail Home When
1t Is Vacated.
DECISION MADE AFTER
STUDY OF HOUSING
Step Would Facilitate Enforcement
of Prohibition Law, Official
Quarters Believe.

The Department of Justice and the
Prohibition Department probably will
be housed in the same building after
July 81, it was learned today, with the
definite announcement that the De-
partment Of Justice would move into
the Southern Railway Building as soon
as it is vacated.
In addition to the Justice DEPART
ment, another bureau will be trans
ferred to the building, and indications
today were that this would be the Pro-
hibition Department, now housed at
Sixth and B streets southwest. An
nouncement of the moves followed a
study of the whole Government housing
situation by the Public Buildings Com
mission, which has charge of Govern
ment ONCE space.
Should 1t be decided to move this
bureau under the same roof with the
| Department of Justice, it was believed
in official quarters that this would ia
| cilttate prohibition enforcement, as the
! Department of Justice prosecutes cases
developed by the Bureau Of Prohibition.
Furthermore, President Hoover and
| Secretary of the Treasury Mellon have
been in favor of moving the Bureau OF
/ Prohibition to the Department of Jus
| tice.
! Southern Moves July 3.
! The Southern Railway will begin
moving it's Offices from the old building
which has been bought by the Govern
ment to its new structure at Fifteenth
and K streets on July 8. but the old
building will not be completely vacated
| for some time.
The Department of Justice Transfer
has been decided upon by agreement
betweee the Public Buildings Commis-
sion and officials of the Department 1t
was learned today. but final decision
has not yet been reached on the pro-
posed move of the Bureau of Prohibi-
| ton. although it seems likely.
| The Department Of Justice Is now oc-
| cupying about 145,O00 square feet In
| its principal building at Fifteenth and
| K and some other buildings, but the
| Southern Railway Building contains
about 100000 square feet and therefore
will have room for more Government
activities. The Department Of Justice,
in addition to its principal buildings,
also rents space in the Denrike Build.
ing. Investment Building, Hurley
Wright Building and some. space IN
some of the temporary wartime build
ings on the Mall.
Short Time to End Lease.
The Department Of Justice is paying
rental of 100000 annually for the
building at K and Vermont avenue. but
the contract Is so worded that the lease
can be terminated In 30 days.
The Department is Justice is one of
the oldest Government Departments,
being organized in 1889, and has been
shifted about constantly without q per-
i manent home, but this move Is consid-
| cred another step toward permanent
home which is to be erected in the
Governments new building program on
the site Of Center Market. Informal
reports In official quarters have indicat-
ed that the new building for the De-
partment of Justice may be among the

mates are sent to Congress at the next

Senator Bingham Devises Own Test
For Prospects for Academy Honors

A novel method of conducting a
personal examination of the young men
he nominates for the United States
Military and Naval Academies has been
devised by Senator Hiram Bingham Of
Connecticut, whose versatile career has
included service on the faculties Of
leading universities and In the Air
Service of the Army.
The Senator's plan aims to do two
things: FIRST. to reduce to a minimum
the disappointment of boys who cannot
make the grade: second, to bring to
light those applicants who seem best
qualified to become officers.
He accomplishes the first objective by
having the boy take physical exam
ination at home as soon as he signifies
a desire for an appointment. followed
by civil service examination.
The Senator then proceeds on the
theory that even in group of boys
who have all demonstrated their ability
to pass the physical and mental tests

Of Appeals.
The court finds that the validity and
infringement Of Fiske's patent being

standing the fact that his acts of in
fringement were performed merely as
an oficial Of the United States and
