Pointing out that many of the
street vendors live in luxury on
the bounty of sympathetic per-

the vendors they "help," MIR.
Street urged WashingtOnians to
ignore appeals for coins.
Many of the vendors, who offer
matches and other small articles,
make from $40 to 500 day, Mr..
Street said.
Organizations operating under
the Community Chest are equip
ped to take care of all the de-

ECONOMY HITS
WAR BUILDING
PROGRAM
Army Department Is Reported
Content in Present Offices
to Help Block Other Cuts

The army economy program"
decreed by President Hoover may
involve the indefinite postpone
ment of work upon the remodel
ing of the State, WAR and Navy
Building and the construction Of
new buildings fol- the War De
partment, officials said today.
Service officials, seeking to pre-
vent the pruning Of apprOpriar
tiOns for vital arms" Of the de-
partment. will propose this form
of economy to Secretary of War
Hurley, it was indicated, as a link
in the Presidential program.
Content With Quarters
The War Department is en-
tirely willing to stay in it's present
quarters for an indefinite period,
Army officials say. There is no
pressing need" for remodeling
the present structure or of build
ing a magnificent new edifice for
it's activities at a time when the
Treasury purse-strings are tight.
The situation regarding the pro
posed new War Department build
ing is further complicated by
renewal of official differences re.
garding the site for the structure,
it was learned. Despite the de-
cision of the Public Buildings
Commission to erect the building
in the area west of Seventeenth
Street Northwest, between Consti-
tuition and New York Avenues, the
issue is far from settled.
Southwest Site Likely
So far from settled is it,
indeed, that it is generally be-
lieved now that Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, with the prob
able backing of President Hoover,
ultimately will win out in his
contention for placing the Struc-
ture in the southwest section of
the city, adjacent to the Capitol
grounds.
Army officials cite the dispute
over the site as another reason
why Congress probably will agree
to delay in the construction of
the War Department Building
when it reconvenes next Decem-
Der. They also believe the re-
modelling of the present struc-
ture may be postponed and that
the department may be per-
mitted to retain it's present
quarters for several more years
to come.

TWELFTH ESSAY
JUDGE PICKED

DR.. G. H. Richardson, presiden
of the Federation Of Civic Associa
tions, today accepted membership
on the board of judges which viii
select the grand prize winner
from the $4,000 essays to be sub
mitted by public school pupils II
the contest sponsored by Th'
Washington Times on the subject
"Beautifying Washington TO
1882"
DR.. Richardson is the twelfth
and final member of the boart
which is headed by DR.. Cloyd H
Marvin, president of George Wash
ington University.
Lauds Contests Aims
In accepting membership, DR.
Richardson indorsed the contes
as follows:
"a most interesting and
promising factor in the prob
lem of speeding up individual
and community effort toward
the healthfulness and beautifi-
cation of the city of Washing
ton and its envirOns may be
found in the active competitive
participation therein by the
pupils of the public schools.
"The wisdom Of eplisting
school children in the project
of improving the health and
beauty of the home and COM
munity lies in the practical
recognition of the peculiar re-
latiOnShip they bear to those
spheres. Children, as a rule,
love health and beauty, and
under normal conditions are
inSiStent in their efforts to in
woke and secure their tangible
expression.
Benefits Are Certain
"Great credit is due those
who conceived and organized
the project of enrolling the
great body of our school cbiI.
dren in the cause of rendering
certain the complete desirable
ity of Washington as a m)del
place for the celebration of the
bicentenniaI of the birth of the
immortal Washington.
"The tangible and intangible
values which may be reasonably
expected from the contest will
more than likely include on
the part of the children the
development of the habit of
taking great interest and active
participation in whatever coil
tributes to the health, cleanli.
ness and beauty of their homes
and neighbOrhOOdS, and thus
enable them to become better
citizens"

KING PLANNING
OPPOSITION To
4 ECONOMIES
Will Continue Investigation of
Education System; Says
Present Structures Are Safe

Cursory examination of the
public school system of the Dis
trict has convinced Senator Will.
liam H. King CD of Utah that
more buildings, more teachers,
more play space and more JAM.
tors are needed to bring the sys-
TEN to the peak of efficiency.
Senator King, ranking Demo
crat on the Senate District Com
m1ttee and a member of the Dis
trlct Appropriations Subcommit-
tee. plans to continue for several
weeks the investigation of the
system he started yesterday.
Opposed to Economies
In commenting on his inquiry
thus far, he declared today:
I'VE must face the music and
realize that our educational SyS-
tenn is going to cost more and
more as years go on. There
can be no Skimping when it
comes to providing our children
with q proper education"
The Senator asserted that the
budget which is now being pre-
pared and which will reach Con-
gress in December must provide
for increased appropriations. Ad'
ditional school buildings must be
provided. he said, as well as
larger corps Of teachers, clerical
assistants and janitors.
Play Space Needed
Speaking of the need for ad'
ditional play space, Senator
King pointed out that a few
years ago it might have been
possible for children to play in
the streets with comparative
safety. But, he said, with the
popularity of the automobile no
child should be allowed to play
in the streets. Consequently
every school which is built should
have an adequate playground
and should be situated with due
regard for the safety of children
going to and from school.
In general Senator King COM
mended school officials and the
board Of education for its work.
He said that in a short time he
looks for the abolition Of the
portable school.
Senator Kings investigation is
also including safety in construc-
ton of schools. He expressed
confidence in the ability of the
Municipal Architects office to
prepare and execute proper plans.

program contemplateS:
Two Lines of Credit
Extension of something over
$100, ,0OO, 900 in loans to the
weaker carriers through the Rail-
way Credit Corporation, which
is to be set up by the roads
themselves and financed with
freight rates increases authorized
by the Interstate Commerce
Commission specifically for that
purpose.
Still further loans through the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, now in process Of evolution
in Congress, should the freight
rate credits prove insufficient.
i Use of all possible moral suasion
in bringing about an agreement
between the rail executives and
the brotherhoods for q lower
wage schedule.
It has been reported, without
confirmation, that Mr.. Hoover
has still further plan in con.
temptation should these steps
fail to check the fall Of railroad
bond prices and give suStenance
to the roads now unable to earn
their fixed charges.
Kept Under Cover =
If such a plan is in existence,
it seemingly is to be as a final
emergency effort.
An analysis by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. according
to Mr.. Hoover, shows that, ex-
Gliding those roads already In
receivership, the number Of rail-
ways earning less than fixed
charges is only about l6 per
cent. or II per cent Of the whole.
This includes some roads that
are parts Of larger systems able
to look after them.
