724F00T PAVEMENT
ON EAST CAPITOL
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
Fine Arts Commission Ac-
cepts Plan to Increase
Width 20 Feet.
.E STREET PROJECT SET
FOR MORE CONSIDERATION
Columbia Island Development as
Part Of Bridge Program
Studied by Group.

The Fine Arts Commission, at its
meeting yesterday in New York City,
approved q plan for widening East
Capitol street to a 72-foot pavement
width. The commission decided that
the Folger Memorial Library, honoring
Shakespeare, establishes the new build
ing line for East Capitol street, about
20 feet back of the present line.
1t took this action in considering
plans submitted for a design for the
new Lutheran Church of the Reforma-
ton, opposite the Folger Library. In
the future, all buildings erected along
the thoroughfare will have to conform
to this decision. The National Capital
Park and Planning Commission has
been considering plans to make Of East
States" with each State having its own
building, or other suitable memorial,
adorning this approach to the Capitol.
Plans are in the making for the erec-
tion Of a great amphitheater for land
and water sports, at the end OF East
Capitol street, at the Anacostia River.
Street Widening Urged.
Charles W. Eliot, I'd, director Of
planning OF the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, laid before
the widening of E street. south of the
Sherman statue, just south OF the
Treasury Department Maj. Gilmore D.
Clarke, landscape architect member of
the Fine Arts Commission, will study
this program, which is designed to
facilitate the movement Of traffic IN the
region south of the White House.
The future development of Columbia
Island which is an integral part of the
program for the Arlington Memorial
Bridge, was considered by the Fine
Arts Commission, in consultation with
representatives of the firm Of McKim,
Mead and White, architects of the
bridge, In whose offices the meeting was
held. Maj. D. H. Gillette and John l..
Nagle. designing engineer. represented
Col. James A. Woodruff, executive OFF,
Ger of the Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission.
Funds Are Lacking.
No final decisions were reached. as
the Federal Government lacks adequate
funds at this time for the development
of Columbia Island, although money is
anticipated from the public works pro-
gram.
The commission also considered the
Lee Highway connection with Columbia
Island by way of the northern approach,
along the Rosslyn, Va, side Of Arlington
National Cemetery. The commission
recently in letter to Virginia officials
let it be known that it favors the con-
nection by way of the southern end Of
the cemetery as the more practical at
this time.
A landscape plan for the grounds Of
the American Pharmaceutical AsSocia-
ton Building. now nearing completion
at Twenty-third street and Constitu-
ton avenue, received commission sane
tion. A. F.. Br,lickerjoff, landscape
architect, submitted the design. Con-
sidering the project with the commits
sion were Sir Henry Welcome, promi-
nent pharmacist, and DR.. E. F. Kelly,
secretary of the American Pharmaceuti-
cal Association.

SLUMP IS NOTED
IN POSTAL SAVINGS
Decrease Is Cited by Officials as
an Indication of Business
Restoration.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
June's increase in postal savings de-
posits, the smallest since the banking
crisis, yesterday was cited by the Post
Office Department as an indication OF
business restoration.
The June jump was s6,606,000 and
brought July l deposits to the largest
figure of history, S1.184, ,948,000. Dur
ing March the deposit increase was
S1O6,OO2, 900. 1t has tapered gradually
since.
Clinton B. Eilenberger, Third Assist
ant Postmaster General, made this COM
ment:
Il regard this showing as an indica-
ton of the restoration of business
throughout the Nation. with millions of
dollars now being distributed through
regular trade channels, where several
months ago this normal flow OF money
was directed into postal savings ac-
counts. Furthermore, this may also be
taken as a return of popular confidence
in the banking institutions OF the
country"

PARK BANK MOVES
PROMISE RESULTS
Depositors' Committee Re-
port Expected to Clarity
Situation.

The next 10 days are expected to see
substantial advancement of the various
moves, put under way last week, for
solution of the difficulties of the $4,000
depositors of the Park Savings Bank.
1t is thought the situation will be
clarified considerably by report of a
DepositorS' Committee at mass meet
ing of depositors in Central High
School this week. The date will be set
shortly.
The committee is headed by< j. w.
Thompson, and W. j. Neale will make
the report Previous depositors' meet
ings have drawn more than 1000 per
sons.
Receiver Suit Pending.
Meanwhile. a suit filed by the Deposi-
tors Committee to place the bank in
the hands of receiver to be appointed
by the court. Is pending in District
Supreme Court.
The Treasury Department already
had appointed receiver for the bank.
This receiver has the support of the dl-
rectors and a portion of the stockhold-
ers, who are assisting Treasury officials
in preparing a defense to the suit.
About go per cent of the banks stock
is understood to be held by directors.
The question of whether new bank
should be organized to succeed the Park
Savings will be considered within the
next few days by three committees-the
Directors Committee, the Stockholders
Committee and the so-called Frank j.
Sobotka Committee which represents
several elements in the bank. Among
the propositions to be taken up will be
the possibility and desirability OF organ
izing the Park Savings into branch OF
the new Hamilton National Bank, ex-
pected to open shortly.
Charter Expiration Charge.
The situation has been complicated
further by the allegation in the de-
positors' suit that the banks charter
expired August 80, 1929. The Treas
ury Departments attitude toward this
has not yet been indicated. 1t is un-
derstood, however, the Treasury will
not change its present position that
the controller of the currency has ju-
rieSdiction over the bank under author
ity conferred by the District Code.
The controller, under this authority.
would proceed to liquidate the assets OF
the bank as if it were national bank.
If, however, the charter had expired in
1929. as claimed by the depositors, the
question arises as to the jurisdiction OF
the controller over an institution
which the DepoSitorS' Committee claims
has reverted to the status of co-part-
nership or private bank.

SEAL TO CANVASS
MILK CONSUMERS
Seeks Price Paid by Every
User in Washington for
Senate Body.

A check of the price paid by every
consumer in Washington who buys
milk from a dairy will form part of
the milk price inquiry now being un-
dertaken by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Elwood Seal for Senate sub
committee. This new development grew
out of the discovery that although the
standard price Of pasteurized milk is
13 cents per quart here. some of the
dairies give rates OF II or even IL cents
a quart to preferred customers.
An investigation Of every customer
on nine routes Of a prominent dairy
Mr Seal said, revealed that 48 Gus
toners were getting one or other pre-
ferred rates. This dairy had 109 routes,
he said.
Seal Denies Statement.
This is one of the phases of the In
quiry which turned up accidentally.
The real purpose of the probe is to
discover whether the consumer Is pay
ing too much for his milk. and whether
the spread between the consumer and
the producer Is justified. Today the
cents a gallon, while the producer Is
paid 26 cents a gallon.
Mr. Seal, in this connection, took
which attributed to him a remark that
he had uncovered evidence that the
National Diaries Corporation brought
the Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association into being and dom
mates its personnel and policy.
Formed in 1920.
He said: "As a matter Of fact the rec
ords show that the Milk Producers
Association was organized and incor-
porated in 1920. hence could not have
been brought into being by the Nation
al Diaries Corporation, which itself did
not come into being until 1928, nor
have We uncovered any evidence show
ing that the National Diaries Corpora
ton dominates the personnel and pol
icy Of the association"
It Is known, however, that Mr.. Seal
is interested in the part played by the
National Diaries in the local field. He
intends to discover whether profits from
milk distributing concerns which 1t
owns In Washington are being used to
support less profitable concerns else
chains of corporations owned by hold
ing company. This would have . direct
bearing on the ultimate price Of milk
here
Mr.. Seal expressed himself satisfied
as to the manner in which the pro-
ducers' associations surplus funds of
$477,000 are invested. None Of the
funds are invested in the securities of
dairy companies. he said. Scrutiny
Of these funds led him to Richmond
and Orange. Va, last week on a trip
on which he also interviewed several
dairy farmers.

talked in the nation today, but all
seem to fit two patterns. The gov
eminent is urged on one hand mere
ly to print two or three million dol
lars, backed only by the govern
ment's authority to make it legal
tender
1t is urged, on the other hand,
that the government change the val
lie of the gold ounce.
The gold ounce by congressional
act was valued at $20.67 in 1873, a
valuation arrived at necessarily by
considering the international state
of trade and the value of products
at that time.
The state of trade and the value
Of products have changed; and,
therefore, it is argued there is no
reason why man-made valuation
can not be changed.
If the gold ounce were revaluated
at SAL "a, twice as many dollars of
currency could be issued. The new
dollar, on this basis, would be worth
only half as much as the one we
now have, but there would be in
creased spending and prices would
rise, and in the end the whole thing
would reach an equilibrium at a
new level, except that We would
meanwhile have turned the worst
depression in our history into a
trade revival and q boom.
II n
THAT, in general, is the argu-
Il ment. And what every man
wants to know is what imitation
would mean to him. What would
it mean to the laborer? Consider
the man earning $50 week today.
If the value of the dollar is de-
creased by half, how long will it be
before his wage is increased to $50
so that he can have the same buy
ing power as under present condi-
tons. Would his wage increase as
fast as the increase in prices the
inflationists promise?
And what would imitation mean
to the man living on dividends from
stock investments? How much time
WOulu 6ldpSe Ue1OIe 1I4C1 edSSO pl4CCo
resulted in a prosperous hum at the
factories so that dividends would
double?
And what would happen to those
who have money in savings banks?
If money is suddenly halved in value
how shall they protect the present
value of the money they have
saved?
Initiation raises a thousand Ques-
lions and nowhere is there an an
swer. But on one question there
seems to be agreement. In the
past, as DR.. Edwin R. A. Seligman
has demonstrated, imitation usually
has been associated with public
debts.

Time after time, if unable to OBJ
tain money any other way, nations
have paid their internal debts in
fiat money-paper money backed
with only the governments power
to decree it legal tender.
And if a government pays it's in
ternal debt in inflated currency, so
will the people pay their debts in
the same currency. Thus the debtor
class benefits, the creditor class
loses.
XXTE have seen that debtors are
w now paying 33 to 50 cents
premium on every dollar borrowed
in 1923 and 1929. The private and
commercial debt of the country to-
tails $1O8, 900, 100000 today, including
$44,000,00O owed by urban home
owners $12,OO0,OOO, 900 owed by farm
erS.
The bulk of this debt was Dor
rowed before the Great Smash.
Manufacturers and business men
find themselves caught in the same
Tightening grip as the small
home owner and the farmer.
All got cheap dollars and are pay
ing off in hard dollars. Thus the ma
ton groanS under an intolerable
weight. The national income, $685.
600 100000 in 1929, has shrunk to
57000,000000 in 1882, and it is es-
timated that nearly one-ffth of it
was absorbed in 1882 by fixed in
terest charges.
In addition to the private debt
the federal government owed $40
BOG, 100000 up to last November 30
an increase of $3,875, 100000 since
1929.
Private business could not Dor
row more. Thus the federal govern
ment had to borrow to finance the
Reconstruction Finance corporation,
which in turn lends industry.
With the budget unbalanced, with
an S850,000,000 deficit already piled
up this fiscal year, the federal debt
is increasing hourly. 1t, too, must be
paid in dollars that are thirty-three
cents more valuable than in 1929,
and the dollars it pays must come
from taxes.
Like the cost of debts, taxes, too,
have gone up during this time when
everything else has. been going
down. And in addition to the fed
eral debt there is a $1,000, 900 900
state and municipal debt.
rs imitation the way out? If debtors
Il are paying their creditors 80 to
81 cents premium on every dollar,
should the nation solve that lnjus-
tice by arbitrarily decreasing the
value of the dollar?
