TRANSFORMING
WHITE HOUSE
UNDER WAY

Taking advantage Of President
Roosevelt's absence from his Of
ficial duties here preparations
have begun to transform the
Blue, Red and Green rooms at
the White House into the execu-
tive offices while building opera
tions in connection with an ex-
tension on the east side of the
Executive office are going on.
Telephone electricians have
begun at the Executive Offices
to take out the complicated ap-
paratus and switchboard and the
many wires connecting Herewith
and to install them in the base.
ment Of the White House in a
room formerly used as a billiard
room.
will Protect Carpets
The expensive carpeting at
the White House will be covered
with burlap to protect them from
injury and desks, file cases and
other office paraphernalia will
be moved from the executive Of
fices into the White House.
President Roosevelt has selected
the oval Blue Room on the first
floor of the White House for his
office. Throughout the history
of the White House this room
has served as the formal recep-
ton room for the President.
The so-called Green Room, be-
tween the Blue Room and the
East Room, will be used as an Of
flee by Stephen Early and Col.
Marvin H. Mcintyre, two secre-
taries of the President. The red
parlor, between the Blue Room
and the state dining room, will
be used as a waiting room.
Lobby for Ushers
The main lobby will be used
by the various ushers as well as
by Rudolph Forster, the execu-
tive clerk of the White House:
Maurice Latta, the assistant exec
utive clerk; Major Richard Jervis,
chief of the White House secret
service, and the corps of White
House correspondents.
II will take about four months
to complete the new office build
ing, the work being under the
supervision of the Office of Pub
lie Buildings and Parks.
Always a point of attraction to
tourists and visitors to Washing
ton, the White House will remain
closed during the next four
months while it is being used for
presidential offices and the re-
modelling of the Executive Offices
is under way. Many were turned
away today, this being the first
day Of the mansions not being
accessible to visitors.

into the sand bank operated by the Colonial Sand & Gravel Co.
 Mrs Leach left the truck and went around to the rear and the defendant, without warning or sig nal, drove the truck backward, the complaint says. The rear wheels are alleged to have passed over her head. causing a fractured skull, fractured nose, rupture of the face muscles, causing death.
 The defendant is. charged with gross negligence in that he backed his truck without first ascertaining the proximity of his passenger and because he failed to give warning by sounding his horn.
 Calabrese was indicted on first degree murder charges when ar- raigned and went on trial before Judge John Richards Booth and a jury. The jury brought in a ver- dict on manslaughter charges. Calabrese was sentenced to a year in jail. He was represented at the criminal proceedings by Attorney A. Henry Weisman.
 Attorney Herman J. Weisman, who appears for the plaintiff in the civil action on trial, asked the court last week about the proceed ure he should follow in getting Calabreses in court for the civil acc tion trial which had been assigned for this week. Judge Booth or- dered court costs remitted in Gala brese's case and he was freed Mon- day.

William M. Harris, executive sec

MT Firmen stated that MT Har- ris' wife and daughter are work l ing for him and drawing $40, each, per week. MT Harris declared to- day that his daughter is attending

hard man to see"


Shortly after 2 o'clock the next
afternoon Ann was driving along
the highway that led to Kendall
wood.
In her modish blue suit, with a
small blue hat set at an angle on
her bright hair, she looked like a
fortunate young woman with
nothing to do but hunt pleasure
in a shining little car. She looked
cool, self-possessed. But she was
neither cool nor confident.
She didn't particularly care for
this job. Irving to persuade an
obstinate old man to change his
mind. 1t was too much like ask
ing favors. Of course there was
difference. This was something
requiring courage and wit and an
interest in others. That gave it
dignity. :,
The night before Sarah had
told Ann about the kendalls.
There was Mrs. James Kendall,
daughter-in-law of old Peter Ken
dali, whose only interest seemed
to be keeping the Kendall tradi-
lions inviolate and the Kendall
fortune intact. There was Mill

there were Carol Kendall, cur

Don. Then there was Peter
"The little rabbit that ran
about in Mr.. MacGregor's gar
den," Ann had laughed.
Sarah had said, "No, he isn't
that sort"
Which had left Peter pretty
much up in the air. With all the
other members of the family in
dexed and catalogued Peter re-
NAMED vague. He was nebulous,
unsubstantial, waiting for mag
nation to give him form and sub
stance.
"Well then, Peter" Ann
thought as she drove leisurely
along, "you're big and brown and
rugged, with a shock of unruly
dark hair and eyes that are red
trimmed from reading so many
cynical things about women. You
trip over rugs and growl because
you haven't any graceful light
chatter"
She drove past a large estate
which. from the description, must
be Mrs. James Kendalps home. 1t
was about 10 miles from the COM
munity. The house stood deep in
trees and shrubs-an enormous
stone house, cleaning under the
afternoon sun like a white jewel
in the velvet green. A ribbon of
cars stretched about the area.
Evidently the kendalls were en-
PERTAINING.
Ann covered the next 10 miles
quickly and parked her car in
front of the factory czar's home.
This was a big, oldfashioned stone
dwelling.
AIMS ring was answered by a
man servant who ushered her in
to the hall. He took her card
and said, "Wait here. please,
Miss, I'll see if Mr.. Kendall can
J see you"
He opened a door and shut it
behind him. Ann heard deep
growl; ask her what in the devil
she wants." The words came
plainly through the open transom
above the door.
The servant returned. "Mr.
Kendall asked me to find out
what you wish to see him about. "
Ann hesitated. After a mo-
ment she said, Tell him it's
about the branch library"
The servant went inside, and
spoke to the occupant of the
room. Ann heard Tell her l
don't care to discuss the. matter.
No, til her l won't discuss it."
