ICKES, BYRD CONFER
ON SCENIC PARK LINK
Vital Details for Highway Con-
Meeting Eastern Reservations
Yet to Be Completed.

While the scenic link between the two
great Eastern national parks, the pro-
posed Shenandoah National Park and
the Great Smoky National Park. prob
ably will be built with the aid Of Federal
public works funds, there remain vital
details to be worked out between the
Public Works Administration and the
representatives of the three States in
volved, it was indicated today by Secre-
tary Ickes.
Ickes said informal talks have been
had with Senator Byrd Of Virginia,
one of the principal sponsors OF the
projects. and with representatives Of
North Carolina and Tennessee, through
important sections of which the pro-
posed highway would run.
Due to the fact the road would ira
verse large sections of the three States
which are not actually in national park
reservations, Ickes has suggested in a
letter to Senator Byrd and his adherentS
on the project that some contribution
toward the road by the States involved
might be required by the Public Works
Board.

The skyscraper era is closing

Ludlow, of New York, chairman OF

Architects.
The exodus from the cities Of

is a product, is slowly yielding.
The five-day wee'.., he adds, is
virtually an accomplished fact
and the four-day week is just
around the corner, "for we shall
keep on inventing ingenious ma
chinery to replace hand work"
Architects must prepare for

He said today:
"The steady, healthy growth

The ideal location of the Sill

to be one of the most important
considerations influencing buyers
to that section.
Proximity Cited
Its proximity to downtown
Washington, only a few minutes

its accessibility by rapid bus lines

CONTINUES EFFORT
FOR FERRY ON BAY
Washington C. Of c. Will Go
on Trying to Secure New
Link for D. c.

Despite the Reconstruction Finance
Corporations refusal yesterday to grant
a loan of $425,0OO for construction of
a ferry across Chesapeake Bay. which
would have added 40 miles to the trad
ing area of the Capital, the Washington
Chamber Of Commerce, leader in the
fight for this project, will continue its
efforts to secure the new link.
Under direction Of Thomas p. Little
page, president Of the chamber, the trade
body is preparing to renew its cam
paign to overcome what 1t describes as
selfish opposition" in the fight for ap-
proval Of the ferry project, which would
connect Chesapeake Beach with Dor
chester County, on the Eastern Shore.
Would Save Travel.
The petition for the loan was made
by the Chesapeake Beach Railroad Co.
and the hackers claim this additional
ferry service would save many hours in
the other side of the bay.
The fight for the ferry has been in
progress for several years, with WASH
ington civic and trade organizations
taking a notable part. Chief opposition
has come from interests operating q
ferry service farther down the bay.
The right of the railroad company
to operate a ferry line was questioned
In the courts and the case finally went
to the United States Supreme Court,
which decided in favor Of the railroad.
Approved by I. C. C.
The project later was presented to
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which approved the company's applica-
ton conditiona]ly, on the clearing up
of existing obligations. The original
loan request was for 100000, but this
was reduced.
The Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton at first held the project would not
be self-liquidating. although it later
agreed, after due investigation, that
this was not the case.

Silkworm Culture Master
Unpaid as Pupils Carry on
District Resident Claims
Government Is Indebted
to Him in Venture.
"HIS is another story of the pupil
displacing the master.

THIS is another story Of the pupil
displacing the master.
The man who brought new
industry to Cuba, reared 1t and cultl-
waited it with tenderest care, now stands
by watching it develop into new and
profitable natural resource under the
guidance of men and women whom he
taught the art of silkworm culture.
He is Gattas E. Maloof, 1903 Colum-
bia road, whose efforts in behalf OF this
new industry for the island nation
have to date gone unrewarded, although
he claims the Cuban government Is in
debted to him to the tune OF SAT, 900.
A claim for this amount is now on file
with the State Department here, re-
course to which is necessary IN such
matters of international proportions.
Although the claimant has vast
array of documentary evidence on file
with the State Department in support
of his contention that Cuba owes him
SAT, 900, the most important paper Of all
"a contract for $30,000-is missing.
This, he AYERS, was conflscated from
him by trickery. He was asked to bring
it to government official for "cert1flS
cation" and while he waited four hours
in an ante room, the document mys-
teriously disappeared. he says. How
ever, he has two affidavits sworn to by
witnesses present at the time OF the
signing of the contract.
Mr.. Maloof's dealings with Cuba go
back to October, 1921, when he first
went there to discuss with government
officials the possibility Of rearing silk
worms and thus provide a new and
profitable industry for the country.
Efforts to do this. he was informed,
already had been attempted in the gov
ernment'S experimental stations, but
without success.
If the newcomer could successfully
develop the silkworm in Cuba and the
mulberry tree on which they thrive,
it would be worth $50 1000 to him. the
governments representative 0old him.
# he failed he was to receive nothing.
A contract was entered into, Maloof
states, with the foregoing stipulatlons.
In the course Of few years. his ex-
periments at the government agronom-
ical station at Santiago de las Vegas
were acknowledged by the government
to have been successful
During this time he taught. at the
request of the government, certain en-
ployes of the Agriculture Department
the planting of mulberry trees, culti-
vation of silkWormS and the loosening
of the threads from the cocoons, all
highly specialized work. Today the
work is continuing under the direction
Of Miss Carmen de Gorlbar. young
woman who at one time begged Maloot
to be permitted to work under him,
while her tutor still has not received

a single dollar for the many months
devoted to the experimental work.
Mr. Maloof, who. by the way, is
naturalized American citizen Of Euro
pean ancestry. says also that the Cuban
government agreed to pay him $4,000
and all incidental expenses to write a
book on the subject Of silkworm culti-
vation This he did, the incidental"
running up $4,000 more. and then the
government of Cuba refused to buy it.
One of the documents in Maloof's
collection is copy of government re-
port submitted by DR.. Mariana Calvino,
delegate of the Office of the secretary Of
agriculture, commerce and labor. func-
tioning as chief of the agronomical sta
ton, in which he states:
II want to add that this year we
