PRESS BUILDING
RECEIVER ASKED
Company vent, but With
draWaI of Government Ten
= ancy Brings Vacancies.

The withdrawal by the United States
Government from its tenancy Of six
floors of the National Press Building
and the inability of the National Press
Building Corporation, due to the de-
preston, to rent the vacated offices
form the basis of an application to the
District Supreme Court today for the
appointment of receiver for the prop
erty at Fourteenth and F streets. The
company is alleged to be solvent. but
fear is expressed that suits NAV be
brought against it and its assets diSsi-
pated.
The suit is instituted by Dudley F.
King, Garden City, N Y, who holds
$4,000 of an unsecured indebtedness of
100000, subject to two deeds of trust,
one for $6,200,000 and the other for
81, 200 600. The plaintiff said he pre-
seilted his claim and was unable to get
payment. He asserts that the interest
due on the mortgages as we'll as the
amortization claimed now due total
S338,500. The liquid assets of the COM
pany at this time, ne states will not
exceed Sl35,000. which is insufficient
to meet the pressing obligations.
The Government had been occupying
six floors, but since its withdrawal
practically half of the Office space is
vacant, the court is told, and, while the
real estate is valuable, there is not
sufficient liquid assets to continue oper-
alton. The petitioner was represented
by Shirley, Faust and Wilson, who pre-
sented the application this afternoon
to District Supreme Court Justice Oscar
R. Luhring.
The National Press Building Corpo-
ration, through Attorney W. E. Rich
ardson, filed an answer cOnsenting to
the naming of receiver to conserve
the property of the company in this

Fortunately, the whole situation lies

enough for all our people and there Is
in the country money enough to supply
all the helpful and curative agencies

is to make America see herself and feei
the call to duty"
Baker said the work OF the national
organization was to be educational and
there would be no attempt to collect
national fund. He added there would
be a limited centralized effort ito dis
play by statistics either the amount or
the quality of the misery OF our peo-
pie" that each community would raise
its own funds in its own way.

said, "that each community should sur

preston and present to the people In
its true proportions just what will be
necessary to carry 1t safely and whole

Neither the National Committee nor
any local chest will endeavor to pro-

we cannot hope to undertake new things.
even when they appear promising and
worthwhile, but the old tried expsdients
which have grown up out of our ex-
