CAPITAL SHOWN CENTER
OF GREAT RADIO NET
Continental Naval Districts and
That in Canal Zone Included,
Adams Reports.

The National Capital is the nerve
center Of a great radio net. which can
be utilized in time of national emerg-
ency.
Secretary Adams. in his annual report
today, said that the national naval re-
serve radio net, involving all continental
naval districts and the 18th Naval Dis
trict in the Canal Zone, has been placed
in operation, with senior control station
located here. He explained that a plan
involving cooperation between the COM
munication reserve and the American
Red Cross has been completed and pub
lished to the service. This contem-
plates utilizing the naval communica-
ton reserve in case of disaster or
emergency.
During the fiscal year, the Secretary
pointed out, the Nays radio system
handled 4,863,360 words of traffic
handled for other Government depart
merTts.
1T is estimated that the savings to
other Government departments by the
use of naval communication facilities
during this period amounted to $729,-
504." Secretary Adams asserted.

II Congress authorizes the moderni-

Washington Navy Yard will obtain a
large work order that will tend to stem
any lay-offs the Navy Department may
deem advisable under its retrenchment
program.
Secretary Adams said in his annual
report today the department had rec
commended the undermining of these
battleships, but this work awaits con-
gressional approval. Meanwhile, the U.
s. S. Pennsylvania, at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, and the u. S. S. Arizona,
at the Norfolk, Va, Navy Yard. are
now being modernized at a cost of
approximately $14,S00,000 Both ships
are scheduled to be completed by

By the Associated Press.
MADRID. December 8.-Maj. Ramon
Franco, missing Spanish aviator, who
escaped from Madrid prison, is being
doomed as a Republican candidate to
the Chamber Of Deputies in the March
elections.
His candidacy Is being advocated by
Republicans, advanced Liberals and

BELLEVUE RESEARCH
COVERS WIDE RANGE
Nearly All Governmental Radio
Experiments Carried on at
District Laboratory.

Nearly all the governmental re-
search and experimental work in radio
has been carried forward at the Naval
Research Laboratory, at Bellevue, D. c.,
Secretary Adams said today in his an
rual report, but the service has done
a wealth Of other research work, in ad-
dition: This has ranged from the ef-
feet OF PHOSPHORUS on steel to the dan
ger OF hydrogen gas in submarines.
The Nays research work is done at
Bellevue, at the engineer experiment
station at Annapolis, Md: the fueI-oii
testing plant at the Philadelphia NAVY
Yard and the laboratories at the va
rlous navy yards, under the direction of
the Bureau of Engineering.
The Naval Research Laboratory at
Bellevue, d. c., has been maintained in
approximately the same status as the
preceding year. By reason of a small
increase in appropriation an increase

! on the general property tax for their
revenue, but to an increasing extent
other forms Of taxes are being used to
supplement this source. Among these
are income taxes and various types of
| business and non-buSiness license taxes.
Tables in the bureaus report cover
ing assessed valuations show that
Washington's total revenue receipts per
capita from all sources in 1928, includ-
ing the Federal Governments contri-
button, vas $6.694 less than the average
per capita receipts of the other cities
$83.919, as compared with $93616.
These tables also showed that for
operation and maintenance of all gen.
eral departments, other than State
highway departments, the IA COM
parable cities spent an average of
$55 800 per capita in 1928, while WASH
ington spent $5S710. The detailed ex-
penditures indicate that Washington
spent greater amount per capita than
the average of the other cities under
operation and maiptenance, for the pro-
lection CT persons and property for
highways, for charities, for hospitals
and corrections, and for recreation,
which includes parks and Fairgrounds
The District, however spent less for

clared. "the per capita expenditures for
capital outlays in 1923 was $5.436 less
than fer the other cities-$21270, as
compared with $26.6Sc."
High Exempt List Here.
In computing the tax liability of the
Federal Government for the 1882 fiscal
year, the bureau found that Washing
ton has higher ratio of tax-exempt
property than any other city in the list
the value Of the non-taxable property In
1928 having been 1904 4742,615. since
1928, however, the bureau said there
have been numerous additions to ordi-
nary tax-eXempt property in the Dis
trict, ard the valuation of certain prom
critics has been increased by the as
SCISSOR. In addition, 1t was pointed out.
Congress has appropriated more than
S8.OO0,o00 for the current fiscal year
for parks, schools and the Municipal
Center.
The bureau recommended that the
Federal Government contribute one
third of the total of cost of acquisition
of p7rk property on the ground that
the park area in Washington is one
third greater than in the other COM
parable cities.
THE park land of Washington in
1928" the bureau said, "was 8 per
cent of its total area and that of the
other cities was per cent of their to-
tai area. This report proposes that two
thirds of the appropriation for 1892
for park development be charged to the
District OF Columbia as the normal out
lay, and that one-third be included in
arriving at the total contribution of the
Federal Government. These fractions
represent the par karea and the excess
OF Washington, respectively, as shown
by the experience of the comparable
cities"
