ONLY TWO BILLS UP
NEXT DISTRICT DAY
Fete Commission Measure
and D. C. Signature Plan
on House Calendar.

Next Monday Is the regular District
day in the House, but as the House Dis
trict Committee has only two measures
ready for action, little time will be used
for District business.
The committee has already on the
calendar the bill to incorporate the
District of Columbia George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission In order
that it may grant concessions for
grandstands and other matters in con-
nection with the Bicentennial celebra-
ton, which officially opens here next
month.
Senate Bill Substituted.
On recommendation Of Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride and with the
approval of the members of the
judiciary subcommittee, of which
Representative Palmisano, Democrat, OF
Maryland, Is chairman, the committee
this morning substituted the bill which
already has passed the Senate IN re-
gard to certain ministerial duties OF
the District Commissioners being per-
formed by the secretary Of the board,
and ordered it favorably reported.
lQlS measure dLSO Will COlAC oP koA
action on Monday. The corporation
counsel explained that under this new
legislation, where action had been taken
by the Board of Commissioners, that &C
ton could be certified in legal papers
by the secretary of the board and the
Commissioners would be saved the for
mality of signing their names several
hundred times day.
Bride Urges Wider Powers.
Corporation Counsel Bride also urged
the House District Committee to con-
slider as soon as possible the bill to ex-
tend the powers of the District Com
missioners, as this Is the one piece OF
pending legislation on which the Dis
trict officials are most desirous OF Sc
curing passage by Congress.
The House District Committee au-
thorized to be printed the hearing held
during the last Congress on the police
training school bill, which Is now before
q subcommittee. This was done in
order to avoid the holding OF other
hearing at this time on the same sub
ject.

street, burglars early today escaped with
furs valued at S575, according to re-
ports made to police.
The crash of broken glass was not
heard by occupants Of nearby build
tngs, but the sounding of burglar
alarm brought Detectives Hugh Robey
and Thomas Nally to the store. They
believe the robbers fed in an automo-
bile.
Two colored men were seen running

"Jimcrack Architecture Scored and Defended in Senate
Remodeling Approval Delayed.

Although the Senate failed yesterday

renewed in a separate bill which Sen

will ask the Appropriations Committee

debate in the Senate late yesterday,

$1,000 ENGINEERING
POST IN DISTRICT
REPORTED PLANNED
Would Be Placed Over Archi-
tect, Building Inspector
and Electrical Unit.
ARMY MAN REPORTED
SLATED FOR NEW OFFICE
Dawson and Crosby Decline to
Discuss Details of Pro-
posal.

The District Commissioners have a
plan under way to create an s8,O0o-a-
year post in the engineer department
for an officer who would be RESPONSE
BILE for supervising the planning and
construction of municipal buildings and
also would supervise the work of the
Building Inspectors Office and the
Electrical Department.
The new official would be placed
over the present Municipal Architect.
Building Inspector and Electrical En-
glneer and would report to the En-
g1neer Commissioner through one of
the Assistant Engineer Commissioners.
An unconfirmed rumor said a retired
Army officer Is slated for the job.
Officials at the District Building are
maintaining strict secrecy on the plan,
but some of the details have leaked
out. Acting Engineer Commissioner
Donald A. Dawson today declined to
comment on the report in any manner
beyond admitting there are plans to
reorganize some Of his departments.
He said the plans were awaiting action
by the Personnel Classification Board
on some of the features and that he
did not intend to make anything public
concerning them until the whole
scheme was in effect.
Crosby Also Silent.
Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby,
credited in some quarters with being
partly responsible for inception of the
plan, referred questioners to Maj.
Dawson.
It is said the official reason for Great
ing the new job Is to relieve the Engi-
neer Commissioner from much of the
detail work now falling on him. He
is ex-officio member of the Public
Utilities, National Capital Park and
Planning and zoning Commissions, be-
sides being in charge of the technical
work IN the Districts various engi-
neer departments.
The scheme is said to be opposed
by many of those in the ranks of the
Engineer Departments, who feel these
units are now top-heavy with those re-
ceiving high salaries.
Now Has Three Assistants.
The Engineer Commissioner is given
three Assistant Engineer Commission
ers to relieve him of details as 1t is,
and there Is feeling that the new
scheme will result In adding a fourth,
who will not have the rank of the
Assistant Engineer Commissioners, but
who In many respects will have more
power.
Part of the plan, 1t is understood, Is
redistribution OF some of the duties
now allotted to the three departments
mentioned Engineer Commissioner
John G. Gotwals recently ordered that
all plans for municipal structures must
be inspected by the building inspectors
Office before contracts are let for the
buildings. This part Of the plan is ex-
pected to remain, and the building in
spector probably will get some control
over electrical wiring for houses, which
he does not now have.

force or would the audience have sus-
pected that the tall blue-frocked officer
of the law, standing so uprightly on
Fourteenth street, had few months
before been a prominent singing Thes-
plan in the annual George Washington
"Troubadors" productions:
Mr.. Nestor Is modest about his vocal
achievements. The Washington Civic
Opera has yet to be launched-the
launching takes place some time in
February at the Belasco Theater-and
he has vet to be LAUNCHED. His main
career at the moment lies in his hands
and feet more than in his throat. He
hasn't been on the force long-only
since last April.
Graduate of Nebraska.
Traffic Officer Nestor has sung over
the radio, in high school productions,
in college productions. Before he came
to washington he was graduated from
the University of Nebraska. And be-
sides being able to sing all the way from
a low IF" to high &C." he is lawyer.
He received his A. B. in law last year
from George Washington University.
And, other than that-and there is
plenty of "other" Che Is a strict be-
lever in variety)-while he was getting
his lawyers degree he was also work
ing at the Bureau of Home Economics
with the Department of Agriculture. If
that isn't enough, he can still remem-
Der the days, not so long ago, when he
was a member Of the Missouri Valley
championship track team. He still
wears his winged foot on his watch
chain. And he was married last June.
Thus a singing lawyer r-athlete-trafflc-
officer. The question at the moment Is
which is he looking forward to most
the increase in traffic over the Bicen-
tennial celebration or his debut as a
light opera star behind the Belasco
veteran footlghts?

SINGING ROMEO OF POLICE FORCE
ASpIRES TO OPERATIC CAREER
Henry Nestor viii Play Lead
in First Production of
Civic Opera Co.
Is Graduate of Nebraska u.
and Won Law Degree at
George Washington.

The singing Romeo Of the police
force, Henry Nestor, a crossing officer
of the Traffic Bureau, who says YEA"
and Nay to anxious motorists at Four
teenth and F streets, is undertaking a
new role. When he shakes the dust
from his weary feet in the late after
noon after doing his bit Of regulating
of the traffic problem he hastens to the
BelaSco Theater, and there he rehearses.
Traffic Officer Nestor has been selected
to play the leading role in the first
production of the newly formed Wash
ington Civic opera Co.
He doesn't sing on duty. mo-" he
says, 81 don't dare sing on duty" But
he huns. He huns snatches of the
Gilbert & Sullivan operetta "The Con-
doliers," in which he is playing the role
of the reckless and amorouS suitor,
Giuseppe.
Seeks operate Career.
Some day Crossing Officer Nestor
would like to sing In grand opera. This,
it seems, is only the beginning. Al
though he's fond of his police work and
haltS and advances the cause of traffic
with the best of them, he yearns secretly
to be a golden-voiced nightingale. The
fact that he is ON his way to such sue
cess is apparent, since he won his
present assignment from host Of
anxious singing notables in this city.
Giuseppe" may be seen almost any
afternoon between $3.50 and 7:30 on
the Avenue near Fourteenth street or
at F street. Although passersby have
sworn that they have never heard him
burst into song, If they approached near
enough they may hear that hum"
which he carries with him at all times.
The music of Gilbert & Sullivan operas
is easy to remember and hard to forget.
1t requires the voice of some one long
trained in the annals of music.
Star of "TrOubadours."
Mr.. Nestor is no novice. Long before
he donned the blue uniform and the
badge of his present station he had
attained fame as singer of distinction.
A year ago in the ball room of the May
flower Hotel few who listened there to
his clear, resilient baritone notes as
soloist with the George Washington
University Glee Club would have
dreamed that in a few months he
would be the singing pride of the police

'Did the Senator see the spizzerink-
tums?" Norris inquired, and McKellar
replied that he did not.
Perhaps the Senator did not cast
his eye toward the top of the build
ing, nor do I think he went clear
around the building" Smoot responded.
Senator McKellar previously had said
it would cost about $4,000,000 to re-
model the building, and while it might
be all right to make the changes when
the condition OF the country improves,
he did not believe it should be done
at this time.
Senator Smoot explained that he was
not contending the work ought to be
done in view of the conditions which
now exist, but added he hoped to see
the day when the State Department
Building would be remodeled to con-
form to the appearance Of the Treasury
Building.
Senator Jones Of Washington, chair
man of the Appropriations Committee,
agreed with Norris and McKellar, say
ing that ever since he came to Wash
ington he has admired the State De-
partment Building.
