American Institute of Architects which
is awarded at infrequent intervals to
the person found to have rendered the

service to the profession Of archi-
lecture, officials of the institute here
announced today.

building was commenced in 1912 and
completed in 1928 and during this
period he devoted most Of his time
to the project. At first his ideas were
severely criticized, but later great
admiration for the structure was
aroused. Shortly after the completion
of the hall, which Mr.. Ostberg con-
siders as his life work, the capital
city awarded him a life pension Of
5000 kroner year.
Mr.. Ostberg has been a member of
the Royal Building Board since 1898:

mortal monuments, etc. He is the
author of several authoritative archi-
tectural works and articles.

Necessary Readjustments
Is Charged.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 28.-The Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Association,
at its annual meeting at the Waldorf
Astoria, today received from its special
standing committee a report criticiZing
the printing trades unions for failure to
cooperate in necessary readjustments.
The report advocated economies,
either through wage cuts Of from 20 to
20 per cent or by abolition OF all
Wasteful and costly rules enforced by
printing trades unions"
Inc report was accepted, but no i'm
mediate action was taken.
After general discussion of appear
ances before the microphone' Of Gre
ators OF comic strips and other features
whose popularity has been built up by
newspapers, the association yesterday
passed unanimously a motion urging
members to stipulate when buying fea-
lures that they be not used lin any ad-
vertising matter"
Continued Fight Praised.
The Committee on Freedom of the
Press presented the resolution on the
South Dakota case. The resolution
commended the expressed intention of
the publishers of the American-New to
carry the case to the highest court in
order to maintain unimpaired the right
Of fair comment upon a judicial de-
cision."
The paper was held in contempt of
court by Judge j. H. Bottum for COM
ment on decision following exposure
Of alleged graft among local politicians.
The paper commented critically on
the court decision on case which
ended with a suspended sentence, it was
explained. The court ruled the news
paper and publisher in contempt, hold
ing that because the sentence was sus-
pended. the case still rested with the
court and therefore was not subject to
comment.
Fall Convention OFF.
The meeting voted to eliminate the
customary Fall convention of the asso-
citation on motion of Howard Davis Of
the New York Herald Tribune, vice
president of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association.
The convention. being held in the

{. j. MAP SUPPORTS
GAS TANK FIGHT
University Adds Vigorous
Protest to Pleas of
Civic Groups.

Introducing an enormous relief map
of all its properties as evidence, repre-
sentatives of Catholic University today
lodged vigorous protest to the construc-
ton Of 100000 cubic foot gas stor-
age tank at Riggs road and the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad tracks, in the
Northeast section of the city.
The opposition of the university au-
thoritieS came during the second day OF
testimony before the Public Utilities
Commission on the application of the
Washington Gas Light Co. to build the
holder at this point.
The map showed the location of the
university property and that of its as
sociated institutions, and buttressed
claims that the building of the holder
at the location sought would prove in
furious to the school.
In a period of cross-examination that
lasted for an hour and a half John
Nolen, jr, city planner for the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission,
told the members of the commission
that site at Twelfth street and Brent-
wood road northeast was considered
least Objectionable, since it is located
in an industrial zone that is surrounded
by a second commercial zone that in
turn is surrounded by first CONNER
cial zone. The tract under considera-
tion, known as the Murphy tract, al
though in an industrial zone, is i'm
mediately surrounded by residential
zones.
Questioning of Nolen was carried on
by william NICK. Clayton of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations and by
numerous representatives of neighbor-
hood associations in the northeast sec
ton. George Lamar, trustee for the
Murphy tract, also took part, and nu-
merous clashes developed between him
and those representing the civic group
Representatives of the Citizens As
sociations began to make statements for
the record shortly before the luncheon
recess, and it is expected that these
statements will occupy the rest Of the
