delightful and varied entertainments
planned for the visitors. Among
these were trips to Catalina Island,
to San Bernadino, and to Hollywood

G0VERNME HOLIDAY
COURSE SPECULATED
Memorial Day and July 4, Falling
on Saturday, Clerks Wonder
About Time Of.

Because both Memorial day and July
fall on Saturday this year Govern
ment workers have started a lively
speculation as to whether they will get
the two Saturday half holidays In
Vclved on some other day.
Some suggestions have been made
that Government chiefs should grant
half holiday on the Friday afternoons
preceding Memorial day and the Fourth
of July. No decision has been reached
by officials in charge of the matter.
but q wide difference of opinion was
found today to exist among these Of
ficials.
From one source 1t was predicted the
matter might be taken up by the cabinet
with President Hoover. If the President
saw f1t, it was argued. he could dismiss
"all who could be spared" on Friday
afternoon, which would mean another
half holiday for virtually all. Govern
ment workers. If this happened the
Government would dismiss on Friday at
l O'Clock, giving long week ends over
both Memorial day and the Fourth q
July.
On the other hand. there were officials
who saw absolutely no Justification"
for any such additional holiday. It was
merely a coincidence that the whole
holidays fell on Saturdays, they pointed
out, and there would be no excuse for
giving another half day on duty to the
Government workers

Slated to Call at White House
to Urge Special Session.

A delegation of wives and children of

Hoover to call a special session of Con-
gress as a means of alleviating unem-
ployment.
Six women and five children. repre-
senting unemployed miners and textile
workers of West Virginia, Virginia and
New England, were included in the
group. They were brought to Washing
ton yesterday by the Peoples Lobby, of
which Prof. John Dewey of Columbia
University is president.
Originally 1t was planned to have 20
mothers and children in the party, but
fear that their husbands would be
black Listed" by employers prevented
others from coming. according to Louis
F.. BudenZ of New York, a member of
the National Executive Committee of
the Council for Progressive Labor Ac-
ton. This organization is cooperating
in the movement to scquaint the PreSi-
dent with the facts" concerning I'M
employment.
Whether President Hoover would
grant the audience was problematical.
Marsh said the White House was nom
con1mittal last week when he FIRST
preached the subject.
Following the White House visit. the
Peoples Lobby plans to take the delega-
ton to the American Red Cross to ask
Chairman John Barton Payne to re-
scind the organizations order prohibit
ing relief to families of strike-breakers.

ttvities for the 1888 fiscal year were
started before the Commissioners this
morning
For the first time since the budget
act went into effect, the hearings were
begun without any public statement as

lay in announcing the total is due to
errors in the compilation by the budget

Executive Estimates Heard.
The executive establishment was the

Commissioners; E. p Brooke. superin-
tendent of the District Building: Will
liam w. Bride, corporation counsel: DR..

u. s. AREA PARKING
WILL Be TAKEN UP
IN SPECIAL FARLEY
Imminent Added Congestion
Around Federal Triangle
Held Overlooked.
5.428 PARKING SPACES
REQUIRED, SHAW SAYS
Trade and Civic Groups to Discuss
Problem at Meeting Called
for Wednesday.
Antnmnhile MARKING in the downtown

Automobile parking in the downtown
area, a problem which will be aggra-
waited by the projected concentration
of thousands of Government employees
in the Triangle development of the
Federal building program. will be dis
cussed at a special meeting of trade
and civic organization representatives
Wednesday afternoon. The meeting
will be held at O'Clock in the board
rooms of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association, in The Star Build
ing.
Leaders declare that the problem APP
parently has been overlooked in the
planning of the Federal development
south of Pennsylvania avenue.
Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
ciation has been directed by the board
of governors of the organization to call
the meeting to discuss the problem with
view to suggesting a solution. A
dozen or more trade and civic bodies,
including the Washington Board Of
Trade, Washington Chamber Of Com
merce and Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, will be represented.
Would Need 5,42S Spaces.
Discussing the situation today, Mr.
Shaw pointed to the survey of the
parking and garage problem Of the CEN
trail business district, made last year
under the direction of Prof. Miller Nc
Clintock, traffic expert of Harvard Uni
versity. This showed more than 80 per
cent of the Government employees travel
to work by automobile.
THAT survey" Mr.. Shaw said, was
based on the distributed location of the
Government buildings throughout the
central district. Under the triangle
plan, 1t is estimated. more than $4,000
Government employees will be housed in
that area alone. On the basis of 23.6
per cent of them using automobiles. the
McClintock report shows, there will be
daily requirement for 5,428 all-day
parking places
Urges Parking Relief.
The survey showed also, Mr.. Shaw
said. that the total number of parking
places in the entire area bounded by
Sixth and Nineteenth streets, B and J.
streets. was 10,415. 1t Is noted also that
the survey was made before the 100
per cent parallel parking regulation
went into effect. Using the survey as
basis of comparison, however, he said.
the requirement of Government en-
ployes in the triangle area would be
more than half of the available park
ing spaces in this entire area.
Thirteenth and Eleventh streets are
being closed as through streets and no
provision is being made to care for the
large number of automobiles which will
be thrown into this section under the
program" Mr.. Shaw said. 1T Is high
time that something should be done
toward relieving this situation before
the building program has gone too far
