.ARMORY PROPOSAL
|. MEETS OPPOSITION
Planning Commission VetOeS
Project to Purchase and
Remodel Auditorium.

Disapproval of the proposal to spend
81, 200, 900 for purchase and remodeling
of the Washington Auditorium to make
an Armory for the District National
Guard was registered yesterday at the
meeting of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. Legislation
designed to bring this about is now
pending in Congress.
While the commission placed its veto
on this particular program, it is not
abandoning the proposal to find a home
for the District National Guard, for it
directed that its staff take up studies
of site and type of building that the
commission might later recommend.
Plan Triangle Committee.
A committee of four members of the
commission will be appointed to confer
with the District Commissioners and
the board of architectural conSultants
concerning the traffic and transporta-
ton situation in the triangle. The COM
mission decided on this course after il
had read letter from Secretary Mellon
relating to this subject. The special
committee-the personnel of which has
not yet been aScertained-will report
to the next meeting of the commission
The commission considered the elimi-
so as to make this thoroughfare ar
acceptable traffic artery. A bill is being
framed to accomplish this purpose and
the commission gave its approval tc
this principle. The commissions staff
will take the matter up with the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Favors Avenue Extension.
Included in the list of eight or nine
highway changes, sanctioned by the
commission, one related to Kansas and
New Hampshire avenues. The proposal
to extend New Hampshire avenue to the
District line was favored, as outlined
by committee of the Washington
Board of Trade. The co-ordinating
committee had previously approved this
leaving Kansas avenue as 1t stands and
this course has been supported by the
commission, which officially thanked
the Board of Trade for its cooperation
The commission likewise approved the
widening of Piney Branch road from
Butternut street to the District line to
width of 100 feet. A proposal had been
put forward to reduce this width to 80
feet, but the commission desires it TO
remain at 100 feet.
The commission declined to take &C
ton on the measure introduced by
Chairman Capper of the Senate District
committee, who is a member of the
commission, to establish a new Center
Market, under the District government.
The present Center Market, which faces
demolition to make way for the Fed
eral public buildings program, is under
jurisdiction of the Department of Agri-
culture. A spokesman for the commits
sion said that body does not desire to
take action upon this measure.

YACHT HARBOR PLANS
Corinthian Club Plans Basin Near
Old James Creek Canal, Adj
iacent to Barracks.

Plans of the Corinthian Yacht Club
to set up yacht harbor near the old
James Greek canal adjacent to WASH
ington Barracks were approved by the
District Commissioners yesterday. The
yacht club was forced to move from its
old quarters on the Virginia shore of
the Potomac next to Highway Bridge
to make way for the development of
the George Washington Memorial
Boulevard to Mount Vernon.
The plans call for dredging a Yacht
basin, using the material to I'LL the Old
canal. The clubs grounds viii lie
south of v street southwest between
First and Canal streets, and the prop
erty viii be beautifully Handicapped.
The old canal is now being used as
a dump by the City Street Cleaning
Department, but Engineer Commission
err William B. Ladue, impressed with
the development of that section of the
city possible through the yacht clubs
plans, decided to order the refuse
dumped elsewhere, although the cost to
the city would probably be increased.
The club is planning a basin with
berths for $50 yachts, speedboat har-
Dor with 40 berths, and an outboal d
motor basin with IS births.

District Committee WithhoIdS
Action on Mandatory Feature
of Merger Resolution.
FREE TRANSPORTATION
URGED BY NOONAN
Clayton Asks Elimination of Bur-
densome One and Two Cent
Transfers.

Arguments were heard by the Senate
District committee yesterday afternoon
in support of making reduced fares for
school children mandatory in the street
railway merger resolution, but no action
taken.
william NICK. Clayton of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association, and Mercer
@. Johnston advocated reduced rate
for children, while John Noonan pre-
scented lengthy brief advocating carry
ing school children on the cars without
charge.
Mr.. Clayton also made a plea to the
committee to provide in the merger for
the elimination of what he termed
burdenSome ! and cent transfers, by
requiring free transfers from street cars
to buses as well as between street cars.
A third amendment urged by Clayton
would require the Utilities Commission
70 approve the terms Of the articles OF
Incorporation of the new company be-
fore they are recorded under the
District code.
Question Of Approval.
Gen. Patrick, chairman Of the utilities
commission, told the committee the
commission sees no necessity for having
the commission approve the incorpor-
alton papers of the new company, and
to the discretion of the commission the
questions of reduced rates for children
and transfers from cars to buses.
The merger plan as it stands would
give the commission authority to es-
tablish a special rate for children, and
Gen. Patrick told the committee that
while the commission has not voted on
the question, he firmly believed the
commission would take advantage of the
authorization "at the earliest practi-
cable moment"
Charts and Tables Shown.
Mr.. Noonan presented charts and
tables as to the number of undernour-
ished children in the District in support
of his argument that children should
be carried free to school.
The committee viii hold another
meeting Friday of next week to consider
an amendment offered by Senator Tyd-
ings, Democrat of Maryland, which, he
said, was intended to make certain that
after the local traction merger the COM
mission would have jurisdiction to con-
slider the conditions under which the
Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis
line enters the District.

FILIPINO NOTES APPEAL
IN CITIZENSHIP CASE
Justice Wheat Grants Motion of u.
S. to Revoke and Cancel
Naturalization.

Ambrose Javier, Filipino who was
granted naturalization papers in De-
cember, 1924, has noted an appeal to
the District Court Of Appeals from a
decision of Justice Wheat of the Dis
trict Supreme Court granting motion
of the United States to revoke and cam
Gel his citizenship. The Bureau of
Naturalization opposed the granting of
papers in the first instance to the Fill
Pine on the plea that there is no pro-
vision of law for admitting him to
American citizenship since he was
neither of the white or African race.
The opposition was brushed aside
and Javier given his papers. The
United States then made formal apph-
cation to the court to reScind its action
and the case has been pending until
Justice Wheat took action yesterday
revoking the naturalization of the Fill
Pine.
Assistant United States Attorney
Rebekah s. Greenhouse represented the
Government, while Attorney julius I.
Peyser appeared for the Filipino.

NEGLECT OF SONS
BY FATHERS IS HIT
Dr.. Mark Depp Scores Male
Parents Showing More
Interest in Golf.

Fathers who knew their automobile or
their golf better than they do their own
sons were scored last night by DR.. Mark
Depp, pastor of Calvary Methodist Epis-
copal Church, in an address to approx
mately 100 fathers and sons attending
the annual father and son" banquet OF
the boys department of the Y. M. G. A.
Some fathers put in more time with
golf. in a day than they do with their
boys in a year." DR.. Depp declared.
'They are more closely related to their
club members than to their sons. They
are more interested in how their motor
is performing than in what their chill
dren are doing"
"Other Category"
Fathers present at the banquet last
night were put in "the other category"
by the minister, who pointed out that
by manifesting a personal curiosity in
the recreation activities of their sons
they are demonstrating an essential
interest in the welfare of the younger
generation
DR.. Depp advocated much closer
relationship between father and son
than now exists generally. Instead of
decreasing with the advance of civiliza-
ton, paternal responsibilities have in
creased and should not be shirked, ne
declared.
Boys of today are no worse than
those of past generations, the speaker
asserted. PeSsimistic views regarding
modern youth are due to a lapse of
memory regarding boys OF yesterday,
the clergyman said.
Join in Swimming.
Worth Shouts, vice chairman of the
boys committee of the Y. M. G. A.,
presided at the banquet. which was held
in the assembly hall of the Central Y.
M. C. A. The boys orchestra of the
Woodward School furnished music.
Mothers of the boys served.
Following the repast the guests adj
journed to the boys department, where
the fathers joined the boys in games
and swimming.
