DELEGATE ASKS
 REVOCATION OF
 MAIL CONTRACT
Sutherland Attacks New Agreement for Carrying
 Seattle-Alaska Mail

WASHINGTON, D. C., April IA. Cancellation of all contracts granted the Alaska Steamship Com pany and the Admiral Line for carrying mails between Seattle and Alaska was demanded by Delegate Sutherland on the ground that the 50 per cent increase carried under a new agreement between the Post Office Department and the com- panies is unjustified, and unauthor- ized under the law.
 In letter to Postmaster General Brown, he claimed the new con- tract gives the steamship carriers a gratuity of s870oo a year with out any corresponding increase in service.
 The Delegate said: Under the new contract you are paying the Alaska Steamship Company a rate of 10 cents per pound for carrying the mail from Seattle to Seward. At the same time the American Railway Express carries all express freight between these two points for four cents per pound. Presum- ably the Alaska Steamship Com pany receives much less than four cents per pound for actual trans portation of American Railway ex- press freight
 Continuing, he said: "The normal freight rate from Seattle to Seward by Alaska Steamship Company boats is SIS per ton. but you are paying them in excess of s200 per ton for carrying mails"

Appropriately enough-yet shamefully
the unloading Of bankrupt and obso>
lete radio merchandise on an unsus.
pecting public, is described as
dumping"
Not pleasant word, yet dumping"
covers the situation very we'll. 1t is a
word usually applied to emptying
funk" or other discarded material Of
any kind on dump pile. 1t was coined
by people who deal in bankrupt or
distress" radio merchandise, them
selves, to describe their unloading
activities.
Of course, dumping" was not i'm
vented as descriptive term to be used
in the public prints-oh, never. When
it appears in advertising meant to
intrigue your interest, it is all dressed
up in its SUNDAY clothes" and reads
something like this:-
"A fortunate purchase from nation
ally knOWn radio manufacturer whose
name I've are not permitted to give, per-
mits US to offer you $4,000 radio for
$780," or
''Noev for the first time, I've alone are
offering you the famous Gazookus Radio
at a ridiculous price,"
But they neglect to tell you, how.
ever, it is not only for the first time
that Gazool6us is offered at ridicu>
lous price, but that this is also the last
time such an offer can be made; be-
cause in all probability the Gazookus
personnel has disbanded, its factories
are closed and the remaining assets of
the Company are about to 60 under
the auctioneer's hammer.

BUILDING PLANS
DISCUSSED

When the Public Buildings
Commission meets Monday it will
be confronted with projects which
constitute the second phase of
the vast Federal construction
program in the District of Co
lumbia.
A glimpse of the magnitude of
this program may be gained froE1
the fact that there are now 10000
Government employes-out OF a
total of $4,000 in the city-who
are housed either in rented build
ings or in the temporary wooden
war "shacks," the bulk Of which
already have outlived their period
of usefulness.
To Determine Sites
Of these 10000 workers, ap
proximateIy $1,000 will be quar-
tered in the new buildings now
being built in the Mall triangle.
The balance are to be housed IN
structures not yet authorized.
The most important of these
new projects are the new War
and Navy buildings. and it is
expected that the Public Build
ings Commission will determine
the site of these edifices Monday.
It is generally believed they will
be placed either along PennSyl-
vania Avenue, west of the White
House, or on a plaza planned for
B st. N. W., between Eighteenth
and Twentieth Streets.
Award Contracts
The commission also is ex-
pected to award contracts for
the construction Of the new
House Office Building.
The proposed new building OF
the Public Health Service, to
front on B st. N. W., also will
come up for further discussion.
and the general reallocation of
office space which will be avail.
able when the Department OF
Commerce moves to its new
home in the Triangle.
