buildings on the south side of the
Avenue, and at the same time be
adapted to all the needs of private

Certain buildings, such as the
Washington Hotel, the Willard Hotel,
The Star Building, the Munsey Build

THE committee Of the institute
which has been supervising this de-

dictate the character of the buildings,
and if adopted the north side of the

side, will be in harmony with the
monumental governmental buildings on
the south side.
"A rendered drawing of the whole
development of the north side is being
prepared for the exhibition to be held
at the forthcoming convention of the
American Institute Of Architects, to be
held in Washington in April
These drawings were developed at
the scale OF 1872 inches to the foot and
have been photostated up to Lie of an

your present needs for the preparation
of the model If further drawings are
needed by YOU kindly advise us.''

CRUISER BUILDING
TIME MADE ISSUE
Coolidge Still Against Clause
to Begin Construction
in Three Years.

Ely the Associated Press.
AS an issue in the cruiser bill con-
troverSy, the clause in the proposed
measure requiring that construction on
the ships called for begin within three
years today had moved to the front.
The Senate was in session but a
short time yesterday, adjourning after
learning of the death of former Senator
Underwood of Alabama, but 1t became
known that President Coolidge still felt
that the time clause should be elm
mated, and this is thought to have
given opponents of the bill in it's pres
ent form further rallying point. There
had been discussions of the time clause
previously, and Senator Borah said that
II that were stricken out that he would
not oppose the bill
The President holds the opinion that
the time clause should be eliminated
because of budget considerations, and
not because of any objection on his
part to the building of the cruisers in
the near future. Regardless, he is in
Sistent that the clause should be taken
out of the measure.
Stand of Coolidge.
The Presidents stand has not altered
the determination of Chairman Hale of
the naval affairs committee to leave the
time clause intact The fight over that
particular section of the measure came
up when the bill was passed by the
House last year. President Coolidge
expressed his views then. but the House
left in the provision requiring that con-
struction on the Is cruisers provided for
begin within three years.
One reason that Senator Hale desires
the time clause left in is because 1t
would do away with the necessity for a
conference on the measure with the
House if the rest of the provisions go
through intact. He and other support
ers OF the bill also feel that repeal of
the time clause might delay indefinitely
the construction of the ships and make
the program to strengthen the Navy of
dubious effect.
Another point at issue that has been
more or less in the background Is the
desire of some Senators to decrease the
number of cruisers called for in the bill
to 10 or S.
Bingham Raises New Issue.
Senator Bingham, Republican, of
Connecticut yesterday raised new
question to be threshed out when he
proposed an amendment to the House
provision requiring the building of eight
OF the cruisers in Government Navy
yards. He would leave where and by
whom the cruisers are to be built to the
Secretary Of the Navy.
A sideiight on the cruiser discussion
was President Coolidge's attitude toward
Senator Borah's amendment to the bill
for the calling of an international con-
ference for the codification of mari
time law. AS theory, the President
thinks the plan is splendid. but he
doubts its feasibility and he also doubts
Senate ratification of any treaties COM
ing from conference of that nature.
