CHANGES IN PLANS MADE
FOR MUNICIPAL CENTER
Connections Between Wings Of
Prospective Buildings to Be
More Conveniently Provided.

Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris
Is making alterations in the original
plans for the Municipal Center, affect
ing the rear portions of the courts and
the administration buildings. The al
terations are being made under instruc-
tions from Maj. John c. Gotwals, En-
gineer Commissioner, in looking to the
future, when the rear additions to the
buildings will be made.
Under the original plan there was no
connection between the front and rear
wings save by the two end wings. The
new plan will permit the erection Of
corridors between these ends. The
changes will make the plants more con-
venient for employees. Instead Of hav-
ing several court indentations, Mai.
Gotwals has ordered that the rear ex-
teriors be straight, thus forming per-
feet rectangle.

INTERNATIONAL ACCORD
 ON WHEAT PRODUCTION
 ID BEGIN IN FRANCE

PARIS, May 5. (P)-A movement has begun in Paris for interna- tional accord on the production and eXportation of wheat on lines similar to the sugar compact.
 Promoters of the movement are talking of having Thomas L. Chad bourne, New York lawyer and prominent in the sugar agreement, to head the wheat control as we'll.
 French opinion is that stability in both production and shipment of wheat is a vital necessity of the present age France is not a party to the sugar accord and produces neither sugar nor wheat but is concerned as a big consum- CT and has put into effect it's own sugar plan to supplement in- ternational accord. S
 The Sugar accord is to be signed at Brussels next. Saturday. The following European nations are being Signers, Germany, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary and Belgium. While European inter ests are planning to do their part to stabilize the wheat market, it is pointed out that the key to the whole situation rests with Amer ican wheat authorities.
