Official steps in the actual
construction of the new Munich
pal Center will be started early
in the spring, under plans pre-
pared today by Albert L. Harris,
municipal architect. and officials
of other District engineering de-
partmentS.
The plans call for excavating

To MAKE
THEIR VICTORY
PERMANENT
Hard Fight on Issue Due
After Senate Reconvenes;
Second Issue Affects Vote

Organized Federal employees are
improving the opportunity given
them by the congressional holi.
day recess to strengthen their
lines for the finish fight over the
salary increases for employees in
under-average grades proposed by
the President and now the center
of a bitter controversy between
the House and the Senate
Officers of the employees today
are devoting their efforts to
make permanent the temporary
victory which they won when the
Senate, just before adjournment,
sent back to conference the
Treasury-Postoffi appropriation
bill.
Bill is Changed
The bill, as it passed the
House, did not carry appropria-
tions for increases, but did
carry the Wood amendment pro-
hibiting any increases. The
Senate struck out the amend
ment and inserted appropriations
for the increases. Then in con-
ference Senate conferees deserted
the position taken by their body
so far as the increases were con-
cerned. When the matter came
up on the floor of the Senate,
that body by an overwhelming
vote, rejected the conference re-
port.
But this temporary victory was
gained not so much by the
strength of the Federal employees
but through the injection Of an
other issue. ! 1t was upon this
other issue that the rejecting
vote was largely based. It was
the striking out of the bill Of a
provision offered by Senator
Blaine (R.0 of wisconsin, which
places restrictions upon the leas-
Ing and renting of private prop
erty for postal stations and sub
stations. The Wisconsin Sena-
tor told the Senate that the Sen
ate confereeS had made a vital
error III SuET6L1QcIA4S w 9AAS
House upon this item.
Fight Is Expected
Perhaps more than onehaf Of
the vote by which the conference
report was rejected by the Sen"
ate was that in support Of Senator
Blaine in seeking to restore this
amendment.
When this other issue is elimi-
mated and the new conference re-
port comes up, representatives Of
the employees realize that they
will have a difficult task muster
ing enough votes to maintain the
position they hold. It is for this
reason that friends Of the workers
are spending the present holiday
placing their case before Senators,
hoping that they will win enough
supporters finally to defeat the
position taken by the House
against any increases.
A large basket of candy, cake
and toys will be distributed to
hospitals and other institutions
for Shut-ins today, in keeping
with the custom Of the postoffice
Of former years.

DC. Street Car Lines
Have 67O Turns,
Report Reveals

There are on Washington
street car lines $40 right hand
turns and $50 left hand turns.
This fact is contained in the
annual report of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The commission feels that the
street Ca service could be much
more efficiently operated if the
two companies were combined
as one system. So much better,
in fact, that six miles of new
track could be built. and Is
miles now kept in use could be
abandoned, it believes.
Also, 100 left hand turns and
180 right hand turns could be
eliminated, the report adds.

METHODIST DRY.
STRONGHOLD
IS DOOMED
Plan Is Pushed to DemoIish
"Vatican" on Capitol Hill;
May Use Site as New Park

The Methodist vatican" strong
hold of the reform element on
Capitol Hill, is doomed.
It was learned today that the
building, which houses the Metho-
dist Board of Prohibition, Tenn
perence and Public Morals, will
be demolished to make way for
development of the Governments
program Of Identification Of the
East front of the Capitol.
Legislation providing for con-
demnation Of the structure will
be introduced shortly, and under
present plans, will be pushed for
enactment at the present session
Of Congress.
Two Squares Included
Under the plans divulged today
the triangular space upon which
the Methodist building is To-
Gated and bounded by Maryland
Avenue and First and B Streets
Northeast and the two squares
just north Of this section will all
be included in the proposed de
velopment.
Sen. Richard w. Keyes, of New
Hampshire, chairman Of the Sen
ate Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds, admitted today
that he is cognizant Of plans for
the development. The Senator
believes that the area could be
used beneficially for a park or
that a Government department
could be housed on the site with
out detracting from the beauty OF
the Capitol, the Senate Office
Building and the new Supreme
Court Building.
One Government department, it
was learned, is particularly deSir'
GUS Of locating on the Capitol
Hill site. Those who know Of
the plans refuse to tell what de-
partment Is seeking the location
but explained that no provision
is now made for locating this de-
partment in the Mall develop
ment.
A bitter tight over the proposal
to condemn the handsome Metho-
dist structure is expected.
Methodist leaders are under
stood to concede that the particu-
larly advantageous site must go
to the Government ultimately but
they hold that there is no reason
for taking it over at present.

MODERN CHILD
LIFE TOO LIKE
THAT Of ADULTS
Rich and Poor Suffer From
Modern Conditions, Says
Eastern Educator.
BY CECIL OWEN
TASTED Press Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. May 9.-Plight
Of modern children, forced by
urban life to dwell in an adult en-
vironment unsuited to their needs,
was lamented by DR.. T. V. Thayer
Of the New York ethical culture
school today in addressing the first
international conference on mental
hygiene.
Rich and poor children alike, he
said, suffer from modern living
conditions.
NO matter how widely the tene-
S,ent house and the luxurious
s.lrtment hotel may differ in the
comforts of life, they are at one
IN their disregard of the needs Of
child life" Thayer said.
The tenement drives the child
into the street while the apartment
hotel restricts his activities to an
environment dominated by adults"
Modern labor-saving devices and
the necessary crowding of families
into small living quarters combine
TO eliminate the home activities Of
adults and children which formerly
gave the child a firSt-hand knowl-
edge of the basic essentials of life,
he added.

IL demanded exorbitant royalties, nor
does 1t refuse to sell apparatus"
Mr.. Pierson added, however, that a
monopoly exists in the manufacture of
high powered tubes, with the result that
American radio stations, including
broadcasters, are paying for tubes from
two to three times the prices charged
for tubes of similar or greater efficiency
manufactured in Europe. An air-cooled
tube with replacable filaments, made
by London company, cannot be shipped
TO this country because of a contract
with the Western Electric Co., Mr..
Pierson said.
Press Wireless, Inc, is an offspring
of the American Publishers Committee,
whose membership was allotted 20 con-
tinental and 20 transoceanic radio
channels under the short-wave alloca-
ton of last year. and required by the
Federal Radio Commission to form one
big public service company which shall
papers and press associations on an
equal basis.
Progress Was Delayed.
The public service requirement and a
dispute among members of the group,
leading in the case of the Hearst in
terests to the courts, held up progress
for some time. The company's stock
holders now include the Chicago Daily
News, Chicago Tribune. Los Angeles
Times. San Francisco Chronicle and
Christian Science Monitor. Two of its
completed stations are in Chicago and
one each in New York, Boston. San
Francisco and Los Angeles. Two of the
five other stations are to be built in
New York and one each in Washington,
Philadelphia and New Orleans.
According to Mr.. Pierson, the right
to purchase stock is being held open to
all press associations and newspapers.
This system is distinct from the News
Traffic Board, Ltd, which operates
radio station at Halifax, in Canada,
where news traffic from England.
France and italy is handled for relay
to various news services and a half
dozen newspapers.
