KING WOULD RUSH
CONSTRUCTION OF
MUNICIPAL CENTER
Senator Believes Federe;
Funds Should Be Provid:@
to Aid Project.
DECLARES US. INFLUENCE
CAUSED LARGER PLAN
Chairman of D. C. Committee Also
Says First Unit Is Badly
Needed at Present.

Chairman King Of the Senate District
Committee reiterated his belief today
that start should be made on the
municipal center project to provide mu-
nicipal agencies with suitable quarters
and that the Federal Government
should assist the city in carrying on
this work.
The District government has applied
to the Federal Public Works Admins
tration for grant of s4,6OO,0Oo to be-
gin the first unit. Although it was indi-
Gated yesterday that consideration of
this request will be deferred until after
public works officials have given atten-
ton to municipal projects in other cities,
Senator King expressed renewed hope
today that these funds will be provided
for in due course.
First Unit Badly Needed.
The Utah Senator said that when
the municipal center was being planned
originally. he opposed laying it out on
SO elaborate scale to conform to the
Federal building and Identification
program. He said, however. that since
the project has been authorized on
such scale it will have to be carried
through and, in his opinion, the Fed
eral Government should aid in the
work
The first unit is urgently needed to
accommodate municipal agencies that
are scattered in overcrowded or rented
quarters, including the Police, Munich
pal and Juvenile Courts, the Police De-
partment and the recorder of deeds
Office.
In applying for Federal funds to be-
gin the first building, District officials
nave pointed out that the municipal
cen$r plan grew largely from the re-
qurements of the National Govern
ment and that the proposed buildings
In the municipal center had to be
Planned archltecturally to conform to
the Federal building program on the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue.
whereas any other municipality could
nave planned less elaborate buildings.
VIII See Douglas.
1t has also been emphasized thai
the District government intended to
buy only two squares for its new build
lnes, whereas Congress enlarged the
plan by requiring the city to purchase
-FOUR blocks, extending from Third to
Sixth streets and from the north side
OF Pennsylvania avenue to Indiana and
Louisiana avenues.
Senator King also is continuing his
efforts to assist District officials in OBJ
tanning use of surplus gas tax and
water revenues for urgently needed
works, and plans to seek a conference
with Budget Director Douglas on this
subject probably tomorrow These sur
plus funds, collected entirely from Dis
trlct taxpayers, were authorized by
Congress to be spent on highway and
water Improvements, including a start
on the new Calvert Street Bridge, pro-
vided the budget director gives his ap-
proval. Request of the Commissioners
to use these funds is still pending in
the Budget Bureau.

H. Seal, special counsel for the Senate
Milk Investigating Committee came
here today to begin an inquiry into
the milk situation at the direction of
Senator King of Utah.

has been charged. controls the Bali
more and Washington milk supply.

From Heaps, Seal said he hoped to
learn whether there is any link be-
tween the National Dairy Products Cor
poration, giant dairy holding corpora
ton, and the Maryland State Dairy
mems Association The National Prod
uctS concern, according to Seal, since
1928 has acquired Sis dairy subsidiaries
in the United States and foreign coun-
tries. 1t owns two of Washington's
largest dairies and one of the largest
in Baltimore.
Look for Monopoly.
The investigation Of the Baltimore
milk situation will be made primarily,
however, to determine the relationship,
if any, between the Washington and
Baltimore markets. All information
gathered by Seal will be turned over to
the Senate Committee for its use when
hearings are resumed the latter part Of
this month in Washington.
Seal said If any evidence of monop-
oily is found during the investigation, it
is the intention of Senator King to turn
the information over to the Department
of Justice for prosecution Of those re-
sponsible.

ROOSEVELT DELAYS
PATRONAGE AGAIN
President Says He Has Not
Had Time to Study D. C.
Appointments.

President Roosevelt conferred again
today with Postmaster General Farley
regarding the patronage problem. but
again the question of appointing the
two civilian Commissioners for the DIS
trict of Columbia was not included in
their talk
The President and Mr.. Farley will
get together again tomorrow night to
continue their patronage discussion and
it is thought likely that at this session
they may get down to the problem OF
the Districts patronage.
Besides selecting two civilian Com
missioners, the President is faced with
appointing a United States attorney
for the District, judge of the Juvenile
Court and a member OF the Pubic
Utilities Commission of the District as
result of the recent resignation OF
Gen. Mason M. Patrick.
VIII Study Government.
The President himself made it clear
today that he has not had time to give
much thought to the District patronage
problem because of so many other mat
ters of national and International i'm
portance. but that his intention Is TO
get down to studying the subject just
as soon as he can possibly do so.
Postmaster General Farley indicated
as he was leaving the White House.
that the selection of the two Commls-
sioners would not be made probably
within the next week.
President Roosevelt said at his press
conference today that he has not had
much time during the Summer to give
any particular thought to the proposed
change In the form of government for
the District of Columbia. He indicated
that in the near future he will have
opportunity to give this more thorough
study
Interested in Opposition.
In the meantime, the impression is
gained at the White House that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been keenly inter-
ested in the developing opposition to
the proposed change in the local govern
ment, particularly the plan for one
man rule.
Whether the nature of the opposition
has influenced the President has not
been learned 1t was believed. how
ever, that as a result of the opposition,
particularly the assaults made upon the
proposal by Chairman King of the Sen
ate District Committee, the President
will take particular pains in studying
the proposal before arriving at any
conclusion.

Charging that the rights Of the drys
have been neglected in each of the
States which have held elections to
choose delegates to State constitutional
conventions, DR.. William S. Chase, su-
perintendent Of the International Re
form Federation, has asked Attorney
General Cummings to guard the sane
tlty of these Federal elections"
His letter to the Attorney General
follows in part:
I desire to call your attention to the
fact that in the State election of dele
gates to the State ratifying conventions
a most grievous injustice has been en-
bodied in the failure of those States to
require that the same number of in
spectors be provided to protect each
polling place and the honest counting
OF the ballots in each election booth
in the interest of the drys as for the
workers for repeal
In "a State elections the advocates
Of repeal have had two Democrats and
two Republicans working for repeal,
with financial motive inciting them
for unfairneSs and for a dishonest
count. The drys have had no one Off
c1ally appointed with authority to pre-
vent attempts at dishonesty"

Action on Salary Issue.
Earlier the convention voted in favor
OF maintenance of classified salaries in
all Federal agencies. This would cover
the situation in new groups where there
is no restriction. The convention also
voted down a recommendation that
seniority should be taken into consid-
Grafton in making dismissalS from

Representative Lambertson, Repub-
1ican. of Kansas, addressing the fedora
ton this morning, expressed hope that
the Civil Service would withstand the
assaults made upon it.
A resolution to graduate furloughs

defeated.
Swinging swiftly yesterday afternoon
into the legislative program that is to
be pushed, the federation adopted in
quick succession a series of resolutions
favoring protection and extension of the

formity with the administration
efforts in behalf OF private industry;

It is fitting that today we
should talk about American de-
signers. And it is fortunate
that I have just been to New
York, where I had the great
pleasure of attending the open
ing of one of our foremost
American designers, a young
woman named Elizabeth Hawes.
She Is one of group of youth
full Americans who have made
quite a mark for themselves
the past few seasons, who rival
the Paris designers in origi-
nality and technique, and who
are at last getting the pub
licity and recognition that they
deserve.
Lines Newly Loose
There was nothing lacking
at this opening. It started
with a clever movie of the be-
ginnings Of the designer. Then
while light refreshments were
served to the guests, the models
paraded in some of the most
stunning clothes I've ever seen.
OF course I did not like them
all, but that is true Of almost
any collection. Fashion high
lights were, first of all, the
colors, which unfortunately I
cannot hope to describe to YOU.
There were lots Of yellows COM
bined with white for summer,
and with darker colors for
spring. There were many, many
blues, often with vivid color for
contrast. A favorite trick was
to make a wool topcoat Of a
heavenly light blue, and a
dress Of that blue combined
with navy, a stunning con-
trast. Lines were loose in the
sports clothes, but slim and
fitted for formal wear, which
seems right and suitable.
The Boat Neck Back
Among the costumes that
stood out in the collection was
woolen coat, full length,
plain and very beautifully
fitted, in a charming rust
color. Beneath it was a navy
and rust silk crepe dress, with
navy ruffles cascading in jabot
fashion down the front Of the
dress. Another stunning en-
semble had a green coat, some
what like the rust just de-
scribed, with a plain dress under.

An UnfOrgOtten Setting

An UnfOrgOtten Setting
It was so long ago. I am not
sure
OF being the same self I was
that day;
How strange such eVaneScence
should endure!
For still I see the wlnd-tossed
cloud and spray,
And still I hear the rustic OF
the palms
That sentinelled that low and
level land.
The swift air breathes, as then,
its soothing balms
And golden sunlight lies on
golden sands.
To being the same self I cannot
swear,
Or, rather, I can swear that I
am not;
But I still feel those gusts Of
salt-sweet air
Blow fresh and cool from Nep-
tunes lovelieSt grot.
How strange! Though I forget
the day, the year,
The moments mood, the very
words we said.
The mists of time have left this
setting clear
For golden sunlight on your
golden head!
