out of an alley near the North end OF
Mcmillan Reservoir yesterday, on his
way home from Gallinger Hospital.
where he had gone for diagnosis of a
stomach disorder that had kept him on
the police sick list since last Saturday
As his car emerged from the alley,
which his illness had prompted him TO
take as a short cut, he looked left and
right on Columbia road Although the
thoroughfare is open only to westbound
traffic at that point, Bragg took q
chance on driving about 200 feet east
ward, instead OF going block out
of his way.
He had gone only short distance,
however, when Policeman Henry Tucker
appeared beside his machine.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Tucker demanded.
Bragg explained he was heading for
his home, 800 Nicholson street, and had
decided to take Columbia road as .

FUNDS FOR Center
Senator Believes First Unit
Should Be Put Forward
With Works Aid.
WILL CONFER WITH D. C..
COMMISSIONERS SOON
Land Acquired and Request for
$4,eoo,ooo Grant Recently
Made by Officials.

New efforts will be made by Chair
man King Of the Senate District Com
mittee to have the Public Works Ad-
ministration aid the District in start
ing the much needed first building unit
OF the Municipal Center project.
It was indicated recently that the
public works agency has decided to
defer consideration of the Municipal
Center project for the present. SEN
ator King said today he still is of the
opinion this project should be carried
forward. and he plans to have a talk
with the District Commissioners within
a few days to see what further steps
are advisable in connection with the
project at this time
Favors Undertaking.
The Senator pointed out that this
was one OF the undertakings that he
favored, at a conference held earlier
IN the Summer to discuss various local
appncations submitted to the Public
Work Administration.
Inc Dlstr1ct government already has
invested $500, 900 In acquiring the land

grant Of $4,000, 600 for the first build
ing, which Is needed to provide adequate
accommodaticns for the Police, Mu-
nicipal and Juvenile Courts. the Police
Department and the recorder of deeds.
This building was authorized by Con-
gress at an estimated cost of SIS, 400. 600
but only about s500,000 was made avail
able toward it.
Extent Of Area Acquired.
The area acquired by the District
Tor the entire Municipal Cen er LAYOUT
extends from Third to Sixth streets
and from Pennsylvania to Indiana ave
nues. It has been pointed out by Sen
ator King and others that Congress
planned the center development on a
larger scale than was necessary for
purely municipal requirements, be-
cause Of the prominen' position it will
occupy in relation to Federal building
plans In the National Capital. Senator
King feels that while it may have been
unwise to adopt so elaborate a plan,
that having been started, it should be
carried out.

DISTRICT LIQUOR LAW
STATUS STILL PUZZLE
Department of Justice Studying
Possibilities in Event of 18th
Amendment Repeal.

The Department of Justice still Is
studying the difficult question" OF
whether the Volstead act or the Shep-
pard law would be effective in the Dis
trict of Columbia after repeal of the
eighteenth amendment. Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings said today.
There is a diversity of opinion on this
subject, Mr.. Cummings pointed out
There are some who believe the Vol
stead act will remain on the books IN
the District between the date OF repeal
of the dry amendment and action by
Congress on new liquor laws, he said
A similar opinion is held by some per
sons regarding the Sheppard law, which
kept washington dry prior to enactment
of the Volstead act.
If neither of these laws remain when
constitutional prohibition ends, ne
stated, there would be no way of deal
ing with the liquor problem here, pre-
cipitating a chaotic condition.
This is just one of so or 60 questions
which we are studying in anticipation
of repeal" the Attorney General said.
He pointed to a thick sheaf OF papers on
his desk and said this was brief COW
ering only 10 points in question in con-
nection with the whole repeal situation.

CITIZENS REVERSE
TRADE BLOCK VOTE
Chevy Chase Association
Acts FavorabIy on Proposed
Parking Stores.

Reversing its action of last May by
a margin of one vote, the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association, at its first meet
| ing of the season last night, put itself
on record in favor of the proposed
parking stores" on the east side Of
| Connecticut avenue between Morrison
and Mckinley streets.
At the previous meeting the associa-
ton had rejected the new zoning pro-
posal by a 24-to-1 vote. The vote by
which it reversed this action was II
to 16.
Since last Spring the question of a
| parking shop area in the block desig-
mated has been matter of controversy
largely between adjacent and nearby
property owners and other residents of
the district who desired it chiefly as q
matter of parking convenience and
business development. AS result. ap-
proximately $50 residents of the Chevy
Chase section attended the meeting last
night determined to press the ques-
ton to a vote.
Many Motions Offered.
A dozen or more motions were made
during the controversy, some rejecting
an effort to postpone vote until the
next meeting, others showing equal de-
termination to decide the issue at once.
Charges that the previous meeting had
been packed" with opponents of the
project were met with counter-charges
that majority of those attending the
meeting last night were not members
Of the association.
This situation led to a division of the
vote, the vote of the association being
confined to members in good standing.
When the vote of non-members was
taken the result showed "a in favor Of
the parking stores" to % opposed
During the discussion, H. H. Byrne
complained that business already has
become so congested in the vicinity of
the E. v. Brown School, on the corner
of Connecticut avenue and Mckinley
street, that some public school officials
hav, considered the adviSability OF
moving the school to another section.
This neighborhood Is not now suitable
for children going to school," Mr.. Byrne
said. 1T Is dangerous"
Child Safety Considered.
It was declared that 300 children at
tend the E. v. Brown School and that
some consideration for their safety
should be given in connection with ex-
tending the commercial area in the
block. Proponents of the parking
stores" however, contended that the
parking of automobiles abreast during
shopping rush hours constituted men,
ace to safety, and with assurance from
the promoters of the project that the
park-shop area would be Handicapped,
opposition was beaten.
The association was invited to attend
a reception the night of November IA
at All Saints Episcopal Church, Chevy
Chase Circle, in honor of Miss Ella
Given, who recently retired as principal
of the E. v. Brown School. The recep-
ton is being sponsored by the Lafay-
cite, Ben Murch, Alice Deal and E. v.
