Resents Importation

Editor, The Times:
I noticed John T. Kelley'e
sarcastic letter of recent date
regarding the placement Of
Traffic Director from Harris
burg. It recalls a banquet re-
ported in your good paper some
six or seven weeks ago in which
it was stated a business was
going to place 100 graduates
of a Clarksburg, w. Va, busi-
ness school in employment in
Washington each year.
With the hundreds of Wash
ington citizens begging for
jobs, is it necessary to import
workers from West Virginia?
And why have the trades
unions let that item pass I'M

It must have been a heart

Editor, The Times:
Why all the wailing or.

new parking zones? I am a
Government employee with car
and think the proposed zones
are eminently fair to all. Why?
There are thousands of citi-
Zens who tour to Washington
who pay heavy taxes not only
to maintain the city but, more
important, to pay the salaries
of all Government workers.
Is it fair that we should hog
all parking space eight hours a

Pitchers have made no com plaints. In fact they appear tinan- imous i'm support of the present Z spheroid, but the athletes whoxe salaries depend upon their batting averages contend that changes in { the ball are responsible for the cur rent hitting slump.
 Hits Are "MufTlcd"
 The base hit famine has hit the national league harder than the American League and most of the the senior organization. The American league ball was uns changed this year except for the faising of the stitching, while the National League adopted thicker cover as well as heavier stitching. National League sluggers contend that the heavy cover has untitled hitting, even more than the raised seams which aid pitchers in baffling the batters by providing an im- proved grip.
 No ofiiciai action on the ball can be taken before the mid-season league meetings late in June. Lea que officials do not believe the new ball has been thoroughly tested and declare another month of play is necessary to determine whether the batting slump Is due primarily to the new ball or to improved pitch ing.
 Up Tn The Air ;,
 It Is not likely that any change will be made-particular in view of the fact that pitching duels and low hit games are proving popular with the fans-but there is pos- sibiiity that there will be agitation for standardizations. The Brooklyn club, chief victim of the current hir-' ting slump, is reported as ready to propose return to the thin cover used in the American League. There also is possibility that the Ameri- cover in use by the National cir-5 cult.
 Batting averages in both leagues are much lower than in previous season, although the American lea que slump is not as pronounced as the National and Is accounted for partially by the elimination of the sacrifice fly.
 On the Slids
 In the National league many rec ognized stars are proving of little offensive value to their teams. Bill Terry, New York Giants first base man who won 1880 batting fonors with a percentage of .401, is hitting only .262 to date. His three rivals for honors. Babe Herman of Brook lyn. Chuck Klein of Philadelphia and Lefty O'Doul of Brooklyn, have slumped from their 1890 marks of .393, .3s6 and .383. respectively, to .339, .261 and .203. Herman and O'13cul even have suffered the hu- initiation of being benched on sev- eral occasions.
 Hack wilson and Gabby Hartnett. who are counted upon to supply the punch for the Chicago Cubs, both are well below the 1900 mark. Frankie Frisch of the St. Louis Cards has hit only .230 to date. and his team mate Taylor Douthit has been benched because of weak hit ting.

SENATORS PREPARE
FOR POWER FIGHT
Petition in Custer Battle
Against Chairman Smith to
Be Filed Next Week.

The petition in the Senate's court
fight against DR.. George Otis Smith,
challenging his right to serve on the
Federal Power Commission, will be filed
in District Supreme Court early next
week it was made known today follow
ing a conference between members OF

The conference was attended by Sen
ator George w. Norris, Republican, OF
Nebraska, chairman of the committee
Senator Thomas j. Walsh, Democrat.
OF Montana, and John w. Davis and
Alexander Groesbeck, special Senate
counsel.
The draft of the petition, which will
be a quo warranto proceeding, was gone
over at the conference, Senator walsh
said.
DR.. Smith, who is chairman Of the
commission. was confirmed by the Sen
ate last December. Subsequently o
movement to reconsider was started II
the Senate, it being the contention
of those who advocated that course
that the Senate may reconsider con-
firmation until two executive meetings
have interviewed following confirmation.
Meanwhile, however, notlficatlon OF
confirmation had gone forward, DR.
Smith had taken office and President
Hoover declined a request from the
Senate for the return OF the nomlna-
ton. The Senate later took second
vote on DR.. Smiths name, on which
majority voted against confirmation
This was followed by a resolution pro-
posing the litigation to test the Sen
ate's authority.

ARCHITECT HIRED
FOR SANATOR|UM
New York ConSuItant Retain
ed to Aid in Speeding
tuberculosis Building.

The District tuberculosis Association
won It's fight for immediate action on
the new Childrens Sanatorium, author
led by the last session of Congress, to-
day when the Commissioners announced
that an outside architect had been re-
tanned to begin work on the plans.
Heretofore Engineer Commissioner
Gotwals has insisted that proposed
school buildings must come ahead Of
the sanatorium.
The new consultant is Thomas B.
Kidner of New York City. He will be
paid $50 per day for his work, plus trav-
cling expenses.
The employment was recommended
by Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Maj. H. L. Robb. who has been entrust-
ed by the Commissioners With the task
Of speeding up building construction
and land purchase work in the interest
OF reducing unemployment in the Dis
trict. It represents a change OF policy
recently since Maj. Gottwals, had
previously stated his intention of letting
the sanatorium wait its turn" until
after the District architects ot1ce had
completed its work or elementary
school plans.
S25O,O0O Available.
In recommending the employment OF
Mr.. Kidner, Maj. Robb wrote The
work of the municipal architects ONCE
in preparing plans for buildings is now
in such shape that it is believed spe-
cial attention need be given to the plans
for the Childrens SanatOrium. Some
$780, is available for these build
ings, with q contract authorization up
to $500, 900. This would require putting
the work under contract, so that the
1lNy IN
the fiscal year 1882 will be provided for
and those for 1888 will be obtained in
the next appropriation act.
The situation on this design is such
that special care and study are re-
quired to obtain a disable and econoin-
ical unit. For this reason, 1t Is now
desired to obtain the services OF an out
side architect for consultation, and 70
set up separate unit of the municipal
architects Office to develop progress
sively these plans and prepare the con-
tract specifications"
Approve Library Plans.
The District Commissioners today
also approved plans prepared under the
direction of Municipal Architect Albert
L. Harris for the construction OF the
new Northeastern Branch Library and
for a Domestic Service Building at the
District Training School, near Laurel,
Md
The new branch library, which will
be built at the northeast corner of
Maryland avenue and Seventh street
northeast, is expected to cost about
$l34,o 900. including equipment. The Do
nestle Service Building is expected to
cost about s126.000
Bids for both structures will be ad-
vertised within the next few days.

Value of Early Diagnosis Stressed in
Radio Speech.
The importance of the early diagnosis
campaign now in progress in the United
States as a means of fighting tubercu-
losis in its early stages was stressed in
a radio address last night by Mrs. Err
nest R. Grant. vice president of the
Association for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis and chairman of the Tuber-
cu'ous Childrens Sanatorium Com
mittce.
Grateful appreciation on the part of
the Washington public for the assurance
Of utmost speed in the construction OF
the new sanatorium for tuberculous
children, given by officials in charge OF
the project, was also voiced by Mrs.
Grant.
Excerpts from Mrs. Grants address on
"Waging War Against tuberculosis
follows:
cat the present time Washington has
neither a sanatoriuni nor q prevention
ium for tuberculouS children, and no
child is admitted at the hospital for
adults. But the Nations Capital Is on
the eve of building one of the finest and
best institutions in the whole country
And the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia have assigned to the AS
sistant Engineer Commissioners the
work of planning this sanatorium. To
quote Mai. Gotwals, "the tuberculouS
childrens sanatorium will be completed
at the earliest possible date" Certain
ly every one interested in the welfare of
children is grateful to the Engineer
Commissioner for this assurance"
