TINE abundant use of running
water in the National Capital,
through new cascades and foun-
L tains was pointed out by Charles
Moore, chairman of the Com
mission of Fine Arts, as fulfilling
one of the early recommendations of
the Mcmillan Commission.
One of the first things the Mcmillan
Commission did, according to Mr..
Moore, was to promote the abundant
use of running water Ito mitigate the
feeling of heat, if not the actual heat,
of a Washington Summer
New fountains now being installed,
and others In early prospect, promise to
carry forward this ideal of the 1901
commission, in more practical fashion
than was possible in those days. At
the time the recommendation was
made, Mr.. Moore explained, there was
an inadequate supply of water for many
fountains, but since the completion of
the aqueduct system the National Cap
ital now has a plentiful supply of water
from the Potomac River to make posi-
BILE a beautiful array Of fountains
throughout the city.
Meridian Hill Greatest.
The greatest display of water in the
Sdplbolf NIL UAOOAC NAPAoAAo,
Will be in Meridian Hill Park, where
work now is going forward on the great
cascade. This will be regulated, he said,
SO that in times of celebrations great
amount of water can be thrown down
the cascade. But for ordinary use the
supply can be cut down to a smaller dis
play. This park is in congeSted sec
ton of the city where there are great
many apartment houses, he pointed out,
and will provide opportunity for recrea-
ton of large number of people. The
park is designed, he explained, for in
tensive use. Water will play not only
down the cascade from one pool to an
other, but will also play in fountains on
either side of the cascade.
A favorite old fountain known as the
Bartholdi fountain, formerly located in
the old Botanic Garden. is being re-
located in the new Botanic Garden, Mr..
Moore said, and will be an added at

through the Government establish
mentS in Washington, including the
Department of Labor, Navy Depart
ment, Library of Congress and other
Federal bureaus
The Federation of Federal Employees
withdrew from the American Fedora

Of disagreement over reclaSsif1cat1on Of
Government workers in the skilled

president Of the American Federation
Of Labor, made public letter inviting

with the national body as a means of
bridging concerted effort to bear
ton.
Statement Issued.
The platform of the candidates for

Arthur Shaw, William S. Douglass, Gale
M. Feaster and Clarke J. McLane, nom
inees for Offices, respectively, of presi-
dent, vice president, secretary-treasurer
and recorder of the local.
In their platform these nominees
state I'VE pledge our further effort
to use our influence to the end that
Federal Employees Unions, in Wash
ington and throughout the United
States, shall take their rightful and
long accustomed place as afflliates to
the American Federation of Labor, as
we are sure that the best interests OF
all Federal employees will be served by
SO doing.
The nominees also urged the devel-
opment within the local Of "a strong
committee on legislation, composed of
experts. and adequately prepared for
any and all emergencies which may
arise" 1t was pointed out that Fed
eral employees Should be continually
alert to the necessity of giving careful
interests and should be so organized as
to most effectively combat all legS-
lation inimical to their interests"
Leading Role Urged.
Dealing with the relationship Of the
Federal employe to civic affairs in the
National Capital, the nominees, in an
nouncing their platform, stated:
I'VE believe that Local No. 2, as the
largest single organization OF any Klno
in the District of Columbia, should
take leading role and participate &C
lively in all matters of Importance to
our citizens, such as better schools,
better transportation facilities, the TAX
ing of firm stand against 'profiteering
in any form, cooperation, effectively,
with all organizations and individuals
engaged in enterprises designed to i'm
prove our status as human beings and
fulfill our obligations as citizens"
The constitution Of Local No. 2, dur
ing the past month, has been changed
to provide that terms Of all local Off
GERS shall run for two years instead of
one year, as in the past

traction to this center Of interest. The
Bartholdi fountain was removed several
years ago, to make way for development
Of the site as part of Union Square.
Fountains are not out of date" de-
clared Mr.. Moore LAS a matter of fact
we are trying to bring them in to date
in the District of Columbia. More foun-
tairs in the city are much to be de-
sired"
Mr.. Moore favors a fountain for
Chevy Chase Circle, legislation for which
now is pending before the House, having
passed the Senate The fountain there
will be a memorial to Senator Francis
G. Newlands of Nevada.
Chevy Chase Circle is an important
and desirable place for a fountain, Mr..
Moore said. The circle itself is stop
ping place for cars and busses, and the
car line runs entirely around 1t. The
place never has been improved Mr..
Moore said, and is used occasionally by
children for play. For these children.
he said, there is a good playground a
little distance down Western avenue.
What we hope will be done is to
develop a beautiful circle at Chevy
Chase Circle, to be used by 100 times
as many people as use it now"
New Fountain in Arlington.
a new fountain is being installed in
Arlington Cemetery, Mr.. Moore ex-
planned, as q central feature of the
new terrace below the Tomb Of the
Unknown Soldier.
In urging more fountains for this
city, Mr.. Moore called attention to the
beauty and popularity Of the fountains
already playing in the National Capital.
Next to the new cascade now under
construction in Meridian Hill Park, he
said, the so-called rainbow fountain in
the small Lincoln Memorial Rejecting
POOL at the foot of Seventeenth street,
throws probably the largest amount of
water in the city. At present it is
probably the largest fountain. The two
jets Of water thrown high into the air
at this place. Mr. Moore characterized
as positively robust" and in perfect
keeping with the character Of the whole
area, ito I'LL the place adequately"
Evening star., 1932-02-25

Some of the best known Of the
fountains here, he explained are in
front of Union Station, where there
are two, which Mr.. Moore described
as perfectly stunning" The amount
of water they throw is great, he said,
and they form a refreshing appearance
In the plaza. A short distance away
in the same plaza is the Columbus
fountain with less water. The fourth
fountain in the general area between
the Union Station and the Capitol
Building is now being installed at the
foot of North Capitol street in the
capitol plaza. The rejecting pool at
the foot of this new fountain is
virtually complete, and work is pro-
crossing on the fountain itself.
At Dupont Circle, Mr.. Moore ex-
planned, I'VE have one of the most
beautiful fountains in the United
States" He recalled that this fountain
displaced a statue of Gen. Dupont
which formerly stood on the site now
occupied by the fountain.
One of the most beautiful fountains
in the city, he said, is the one south
of the White House, where the whole
fountain display is formed without any
central statuary or figures of any kind.
In other words, the fountain is all
water, coming out of a pool.
Mcmillan Park Fountain.
In Mcmillan Park, he said, there Is
fine fountain presented by the people
of the State of Michigan. Congress
appropriated funds for the steps neces-
sary in this park it was explained. and
the Mcmillan family presented the
landscaping for the park, plans for
which were drawn by Frederick Law
Olmstead.
The fountain in front Of the Library
of Congress is distinctive with its
figure of Neptune and other characters,
Mr. Moore pointed out. With its sew
eral spouting streams, statues and hv-
ing fish in the pool below, it has been
a source Of much interest to thousands

SEEKS TO CANCEL PAPERS
st. Elizabeth's Patient Declared
Insane When Naturalized.

Charging that Francis Fitzpatrick,
native of Ireland and patient at st.
Elizabeth's Hospital, was insane when
granted naturalization papers in New
York in 1918, Assistant United States
Attorney Rebekah S. Greathouse asked
District Supreme Court yesterday to
cancel his naturalization. She con-
tended Fitzpatrick had not resided five
years in the United States and was not
within the jurisdiction of the New York
tribunal when naturalized.
The naturalization of Apostolos D.
KatrivanoS, now residing at Issari,
Greece, also was attacked. Katrivanos
had been given his papers in this Dis
trict in 1928 and the claim was made
that he lacked the intention to remain
permanently in this country as shown
by his sailing for Greece few months
later. He is still in his native country,
the court was informed.
