that plans are going forward. Whoever
uses the building, the outside, the cor
ridors, the stairWayS and the elevators
can be completed according to original
plans, and later on the floors can be
subdivided to suit the agency housed
therein.
McCarl now Is located In the old Pen
sion Once, in a block adjacent to the
Court House on Fifth street. This old
building, which was the historic scene
Of many presidential inaugurations, was
constructed originally to house the Pen
sion Bureau, but this ONCE has been
moved to the Interior Department and
more recently, while remaining In the
same building, has had Its jurisdiction
placed by Congress under the so-called
new veterans administration. The Ma
tional Guard has been making efforts
for years to obtain the old Pension Of
fee for an armory.
No formal statements were forthcon-
ing from anywhere on the McCarl pro-
test, but it was learned definitely today
that his position Is unalterably opposed
to going into the executive triangle. He
would rather stay in the old Pension
Once. In that place he Is separated
from the Government departments and
he Is closer to Congress, to which alone
he Is responsible.
Scheduled for Early Work.
The new building is understood to be
among those scheduled for early con-
struction in the triangle.
1t is adjacent to and will connect
with the new Post ONCE Building which
will run from the corner Of Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania avenue south
along Twelfth street to connect with
the other structure. The Government
is acquiring the land for this ground
between Twelfth and Thirteenth, 3
street and Pennsylvania avenue and
probably will acquire title to it sooner
than to any other piece of ground now
under condemnation.
