guised the explosion of the safe
that even Karl Kruger and
Lucky Cavanaugh, separated
from the burglary by a single
wall, had not heard the safe
blowing. This failure on their
part. however, might have been
attributed to the fact that they
were suspended together in that
pregnant instant where human
life trembles in the cosmic bal
ance.
Karl Kruger had a philosophy
but. neurotically, was unable to
sustain it against the white fire
of his binding emotions. He
raised the revolver in his clutch
ing hand to the level of Lucky
Cavanaugh's breast. Neither
man breathed.
The difference between them
lay in the fact that Lucky cav
anaugh was able to think
clearly. Without undue haste
he put a hand behind him. His
fingers touched the light switch
on the wall and the next in
slant the room was in darkness.
In the same moment of silent
suspense he stepped soft-foot-

ARCHITECT INSTITUTE
HEARS TWO SPEAKERS
Robert D. Kohn and John ]
Early Address Local Chapter
at Dinner.

Robert D. Kohn of New York, past
president of the American Institute of
Architects, and John j. Early, sculptor,
were guests of the local chapter of the
institute at dinner meeting in the
Tally-Ho Tavern, 810 Seventeenth
street, Thursday.
Mr.. Kohn discussed legislation now
pending in Congress to liberalize the
requirements of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation in order to per-
init loans to be made to towns and
counties which do not have housing
commissions.
An illustrated talk on colorings and
designs for the interior of the new De-
partment of Justice Building was made
by Mr.. Early
The chapter adopted a resolution pro-
viding that the work of architects who
are not members of the institute be
considered for publication in The Star

TINE house design chosen by the
Washington Chapter OF the
American Institute of Archi-
i tects for publication in The
Star this week exempllfles the
simplicity and quaintness OF the cape
Cod style of Colonial architecture.
Designed by Donald S. Johnson, the
dwelling idea offered today is said to
be particularly adapted for suburban
property, lending itself more easily, in
the opinion of the architect, to the in
formality of the average home owners S

Conceived especially for the family
of moderate size and means, the mouse
is compact in plan while at the same
time containing a feeling Of spacious
ness seldom found in the story -and-a-
half cottage type OF home.
Includes Sun Porch.
Opening off the center hall on one
side is the living room, and on the
opposite side the dining room is located.
A small paneled den and lavatory is
situated off a rear hall, affording pri-
vacy to the den and giving access to the
basement without going through the
kitchen.
Representing a pleasing asset is the
sun porch, which should be placed to
the southeast, the architect says.
The first story walls are constructed
of stone, which is available at local
quarries, while the roof is of variegated
colored slate The second story calls
for use of wood on the exterior.
To further carry out the charm OF
the Cape Cod style, two old candle car
riage lamps may be placed on either
side of the front entrance. The whole
design, Mr. Johnson says, may be car
ried out in either frame construction
or whitewashed brick and still main
tain the characteristics of the style.
Can Be Built for $500.
Frame construction might be consid-
cred more traditional than the other
types. Green blinds and white back
ground would create interesting spots
of color for the exterior.
Placed on 60-foot-lo with the
driveway to the garage either coming
from the front or rear, the garden
would be best placed to the rear of
the sun porch The rear of the garage
thus would form wall along the side
and divide the service portion of the
house from the garden side.
The house may be constructed in the
Washington area under present build
ing conditions for between $500 and
S11 900 in the opinion of the architect.

Indiana congressman Re-

for Buildings.
BY WALKER STONE
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28-A group
of Indiana congressman, led by
Representative Eugene V. Grove,
Bedford, walked into Interior Sec
rotary Harold Ickes' office today, in
tent on blasting loose few million
dollars of federal money for public
buildings.
The net result of their visit was
a lecture from the secretary on how
politicians ought not try to force
him to waste the taxpayers funds.
Representative Grove, whose chief
interest is in limestone quarried in
large quantities in his district, COM
planned that the public works adj
ministration had allotted only $751;
100000 for federal buildings, in
Guiding postoffices, and said that
treasury department architects had
made preliminary studies on 233
other projects.
"All of those projects have been
Analysed, said Secretary Ickes.

a burden to the government. But

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Negotia-
tons between the Ford Motor Com

plants seems today to hold the key
to a mounting controversy between
Henry Ford and the Roosevelt adj
ministration.
President Roosevelt gave full sup
port to General Hugh Johnson's de-
termination to institute proceedings
against the motor manufacturer the
moment he has evidence that Ford
is violating the automobile code.
Dearborn dispatches indicated
Ford would submit operation re-
ports when they were requested
formally. Thus Ford soon will be
put on record officially on this point.
1t was the question of these re-
ports that brought JohnSon's dec
laration yesterday that he would in

stitute proceedings if the reports
were not filed.
This brought a sharp reply from
Ford headquarters that the COM
pany was obeying the code and that
Johnson has assumed TO talk like
a dictator and the supreme court
combined"
The Ford statement at Dearborn
asserted it was being singled out
unjustly for attack by johnson re-
garding code reports because several
other large motor companies also
had not submitted the required data
thus far.
NRA officials made clear that they
would be equally severe with Ford
or any other company that failed
to send in the reports. There was
no mistaking the fact that Johnson
had his eye on Ford especially, and
was ready to pounce on him the
moment he felt he had a case.

police announced.
Giving the names of Raymond
Earl Randall, 49, Chicago, and Al

Dayton detectives last Thursday.
Identity was established by pho
tographs obtained from Dayton
police and viewed by Hamilton-
Harris employees. Extradition will
be sought at once, Detective Chief
Fred Simon said. .
Acting on a bunch motivated by
the Arkansas license plates on the
car left behind by the flve-man
gang which perpetrated the hold
up, seriously wounding an employe
and shooting a police officer in the
arm, Chief Simon wired Arkansas
authorities for information.
Photographs of Randall and john
son were forwarded by Little Rock
(Ark) police as suspects. When the
Dayon photograph arrived, they
proved identical with the Arkansas
pictures.
Randall was known to Arkansas
authorities as Earl Norman Holder,
10, Chicago, and Thomas as Frank
Hawks Chew, 20, of Apelousa, La.
Since the Arkansas photos were
taken Thomas has grown a mus
tache, Chief Simon said.
