|F|RE CHIEF URGES
|STAT|0N HOUSE At
18TH AND COLORADO
| Controversial Issue Over Site
Revived as Matter Is Again
Taken Up.
CONSTRUCTION EXPECTED
TO BE PUT OFF FOR TIME
Maintenance Cost Of $40, 900 An.
nually Believed Too Much for
D. c. at Present.

A ong-fought issue bobbed into pub
lie attention again today when George
S. Watson. head Of the District Fire
Department. recommended that the
new fire house for the upper Sixteenth
street area, when built, be erected on
the site at Colorado avenue and Six
teenth street, as directed by Congress
several years ago.
The matter is expected to drop out
OF the limelight again for time, how
ever, for indications are that while
funds are available for construction of
the house, the project may be delayed
for an indefinite period. possibly sew
eral years, due to the state Of District
finances. .t.
Postponement Expected.
While laying the subject before Gen.
Herbert B. Crosby, police commissioner,
Chief Watson stated today he still IS
Of the opinion the Colorado avenue
plot Is the best available site. He re-
ported at the same time, however, that
the new house would have maintenance
cost including salaries Of additional
firemen of about $4,000 q year. This
fact Is expected to lead the Commis-
sioners to postpone the project until
District revenues are In better shape.
The site for this projected northern
area fire house has been a subject OF
controversy since 1926. The District
originally planned to build the house
at Sixteenth and Webster streets. but
after an appropriation had been made
by Congress, it developed there was a
covenant running with title to that
site prohibiting its use for any but
residential purposes.
Congress in May, 1928, directed the
Commissioners to sell that site, and re-
appropriate necessary funds for new
building at Sixteenth street and Colorado
avenue. Protests again came from owners
of nearby properties. The case was taken
to court and was carried by the pro-
testants to the U. S. Supreme Court.
which upheld the contention Of the
city officials that the site, although
originally acquired for park purposes,
could be used for other purposes.
Has Money for Bdilding.
Chief Watson points out the language
of the act OF Congress reappropriating
funds for the fire house. in 1928, was
specific. The Commissioners were "di-
rected to erect fire engine house, with
furniture and furnishings for fire en-
CINE company, at the northwest. corner
Of Sixteenth street and Colorado
avenue"
The District has a balance Of ST.
1850 to its credit for erection Of a
new building.
Chief Watson has inspected a num-
Der of proposed alternative sites, but
finds none of them as suitable as the
one selected by Congress.

GREEN HOPES MORE
WAGE REDUCTIONS .
WILL Be AVOIDED
Federation of Labor Presi-
dent Voices Views in Letter
to Roosevelt.
QUESTIONS PLAN BASED
UPON COST OF LIVING
Stable, Standardized Pay Scale
Termed Essential to
Recovery.

Hope that a further reduction in the
p,y of Government employees could be
.yoided, was voiced today by William
Green, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, as he went before
the Senate Finance Committee to ex-
press his fear of the harmful effect on
economic recovery of deeper wage
cutting.
Mr. Green had with him a copy Of
a letter sent yesterday to President
Roosevelt, discussing both the general
effect rf wage cuts, as he foresees it.
and also the specific plan provided for
the pending emergency legislation to
revise Government salaries in accord
ance With fluctuations in the cost of
living.
Fears Disturbed State.
The cos. of living plan, which you
explained to me was being considered
as SOFT OF wage-rate barometer. would.
l lear, create a disturbed state of
mind amcng Government employees, and
as result further limit the buying
power Mr.. Green stated in the letter.
"A stahle, standardized wage is far
more acceptable to all classes of wage
49, % c<AN odldI llldu d
changing wage, based upon the cost
of living
Mr.. Grten discussed the genera
phases OF The question as follow,
AS statAd in the conversation I hsse
with you Today, I earnestly hope thss
reoucton IN wages and salaries ~
government employees could be avoldec
L still entertain such a hope because I
am certain that reduction in the wages
and salaries Of Government employees
Will serve to retard economic recovery
through turtailment of buying power
far in EXCESS of the actual amount
saved to the Government through the
imposition of any percentage of wage
reduction witch might be applied.
Buying Power Reduced.
The buying power Of wage earners;
caused by reductions in wages, is S22.-
729,000.000 less than it was in 1929.
It totals this amount after having made
allowance for a reduction in the cost
of living amounting TO 227 per cent.
Obviously. 1t would seem unwise, in the
midst OF the great national emergency
which now exists. to depress the limited
buying power of the masses of the
people still further.
Furthermore. I am apprehensive
over the effect which reduction in the
salaries and wages Of Government en-
ployeS al this time will have on the
management and ownership of industry.
1 fear that reduction in the wages
and salaries of Government employees
will be followed by an imposition of
further wage reductions by already i'm
poverished employees associated with
private industry. Such action, in my
opinion. will serve to add to the social
unrest and industrial discomfort which
now exists in the industrial sections OF
the Nation
E. j. Gamer, president of the Ma
tional Letter Carriers Association. told
the committee the policy of trying to
restore prosperity by reducing wages
has proved its failure"
Senator Connally, Democrat, of Texas,
observed Congress already was commit
ted to reduction in Government SAL
aries.

U. S. RADIO EQUIPMENT
EXPORTS SHOW DECLINE
Total slumped From $22, 1856, 154
in 1881 to $13,312, 136 in 1882,
Says Commerce Unit.

Exports Of American radio equipment
to foreign countries, which have been
mounting year by year, took sudden
drop from $22 ,635, ,l54 In 1881 to $13,-
3l2,136 in 1882, according to figures re-
leased by the Department of Commerce.
The decline of nearly so per cent is ac-
counted for largely by the fact that
Canada, largest foreign market for
American radios. tubes and parts, cut its
orders nearly 100000, while British
purchases dropped nearly $2,000,000.
Higher import duties in Italy and
other countries and the new quota sys-
tenn established In France. diminished
those markets considerably. The drop
In Canadian exports was due in great
part to the newly enforced regulation
covering the percentage OF locally made
parts required.
A ray Of hope for American radio
trade was seen In the fact that IS Of
the l03 foreign countries buying Amer
lean radio equipment increased their
purchases, including Australia, Holland,
Sweden. Austria and China. These
gains and gains in other smaller coun-
tries, the Department of Commerce
states, indicate that American manu-
facturers are concentrating their sales
efforts In the smaller countries to offset
losses in former major markets. The
Offset, however, amounted to only about
81 ,000, 900 In new business In 1882.
Despite the decline In totals, Amert-
can tubes were In greater demand than
ever abroad. More than $3.50, 900 tubes
were exported In 1882 at q value Of over
$4,000, 900, whereas In 1881 the total was
about 2,375,ooo. valued at less than
$780, 600.
