Moring of Bridge
Expected to Start
Tomorrow 7 Am.

The old Calvert Street Bridge
should start rolling downstream over
Rock Greek at am. tomorrow if all
goes well with plans carefully laid by
District government engineers and
the contractor, the John w. Cow
per Co.
The old span is to be moved to a
line 80 feet south of its present loca-
ton to make way for the construc-
ton of the new stone-arch structure
on the line of Calvert street.
Actual operations will start at
am, but 1t was estimated by Capt.
H. c. Whitehurst. director of high
ways, that two hours would be re-
quired to jack up the old bridge, now
on cribbing and wedges, and let it
down on steel rollers, which will car
ry it to the new position.
When this Is done, five horses will
be hitched to five windlasses connect
ing with the supporting towers of the
bridge and, at the rate Sf about 8
feet an hour. the 2,400, ,000-pound
structure will be rolled southwark. If
all goes according to schedule, the
bridge should be in its new position
by pm. and then will be connected
with temporary abutments already
built. so street car traffic may be re-
umed. q

DR.. MURCH|SON
SWORN AS CHIEF.
Becomes Director of Bureau
of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce.

DR.. Claudius T. Murchison. who was
appointed director of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce after
the Senate had refused to confirm DIR.
Willard S. Thorp, was sworn in and
Immediately assumed his duties this
morning.
The oath was administered by E. w.
Libbey, chief clerk of the Commerce
Department, in the presence of Sec
retary Roper, Assistant Secretaries
John Dickinson and Ewing Y. Nit
chell, and large group of bureau and
division heads.
On Job Several Days.
Although DR.. Murchison began his
duties officially today, he has been on
the job familiarizing himself with his
duties for more than a week. The
oath was delayed until President
Roosevelt's return and the issuance
of Dr. Murchisons commission from
the White House.
In assuming Office, DR.. Murchison
issued a statement Quilting his policies
and hopes for the bureau.
1T is my hope" he said, that the
present foreign-trad crisis and the
changes in foreign trade policies.
which seem impending, will enable
the bureau to improve greatly its
range of usefulness.
Sees Special Needs.
More and more it is becoming evil
dent that the preservation of our ex-
port trade will be contingent largely
upon our ability to cope successfully
with special situations. We can no
longer rely on what we have COM
monty called the world market to
take automatically a sufficient volume
of our export commodities at fair
prices
1T is probably correct to say each
country constitutes special problem.
as does each basic commodity. This
concept seems implicit in the proposed
tariff legislation whose passage, in all
likelihood, calls for new type of for
eign trade research and analysis. To
such call the bureau would expect
to respond with all the facilities at its
command"

NEW CARPENTER
SCA[EFACES VOTE
Strikers Ballot Tomorrow
on 32-Hour Week at
$40 Rate.

Union carpenters will vote tomor-
row on another proposed wage agree
ment by which it is intended to end
the strike which has been under way
since May l.
The agreement for 32-hour week,
under which carpenters would work
eight hours a day for four days each,
receiving $40 a week. was reached at
a conference with District Commis-
sioner George E. Allen. 1t will be
laid before the membership Of the
carpenters union tomorrow at Car
penters' Hall. where votes may be
cast during the afternoon.
Earlier Plan Rejected.
The carpenters last week rejected
previous compromise which had
been worked out under the leadership
Of Commissioner Allen, but labor
leaders are more confident that this
will be approved.
In the meantime, the general strike
on the triplet buildings in the Federal
Triangle continued, growing out of
jurisdictional dispute between the op-
erative plasterers and the bricklayers'
unions. Plasterers from the brick
layers union still were on the jobs
from which the operative plasterers
had gone on strike, and reports con-
tinued that the operative plasterers
may go to court in an effort to vim
dicate their position.
Ice Cream Strikes Adjusted.
The ice cream situation was back
to normal today, with all strikes and
threatened strikes adjusted by agree
ment with the manufacturers.
The plasterers are also on strike for
a higher hourly wage, but conferences
with employing plasterers during the
past "a hours apparently failed to
settle the differences. Further con-
ferences on this wage fight are ex-
pected soon.
Evening star., 1934-06-06

Among many other specifications
proposed by Allen are that the finan-
cial outlay should be passed upon by
the budget director in accordance with
the financial policy Of the President,
and that:
Cows color, texture and conforma-
ton, asswell as the general expression
Of the COW, should be such that, con-
sidering its location in relation to
areas controlled by the Shipstead act,
will be approved by the Commission
of Fine Arts, and all of these features
should be in harmony with long
distance city planning as expounded
by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission"
Marion Hargrove, District purchas-
ing officer, will do the buying after
bids are opened tonbrrow afternoon.

remarks in reference to the District
In the first place, he criticized the
District Commissioners and the people
of the District because they paid no
taxes. In other words, they paid no
income tax. Then when his attention
was called to the error by the gentle
man from Missouri (Mr. Cochran) the
gentleman from Texas stated, Yes; the
District pays more taxes than "a States
of the Union. That is the reason you
ought not to give them anything. Why,
they are in position to pay Then he
says, Why Go they not raise the tax
rate to $l.55?' Why, the gentleman
from Texas was the very man that
took the floor here when we we're
considering an appropriation bill
sometime ago and tried to reduce the
tax rate to S1.20. Why the inconsis-
tency? He says, $3.50 is too high.
Cut it down to $120.' When we ask
the members of the House to permit
the people of the District to make i'm
provements, the gentleman from Texas
says, Why do they not raise the tax
rate TO Sl.55|
What does this bill provide? Under
what conditions has the Rules Com

reported this bill under the condition
that 10 cents of every dollar will be
set aside for the purpose of paying
