Car Parkers Find
Paradise, But 1t
Is Only Temporary
Free Lot on Old Federal
Trade Commission Site
for FetU Days.

An automobile parker's paradise
has been discovered by Government
employees working in the vicinity of
Eighteenth street and Virginia avenue.
But the only rub is that it won't
last long!
The free parking lot is on the site
Of the old Federal Trade Commission.
Until last week, I. L. Wagner had a
concession from the Government
under which he paid 1922 a month
rent for the privilege of charging fees
for parking.
He has been notified, however, that
the Government needs the lot imme-
diately as the old heating plant oc-
cupying the west side of the site must
be torn down.
But for few days, until the New
man Wrecking Co. of Cleveland starts
work. Federal workers can take ad-
vantage of that rarity for Washing
tonians-free all-day parking.

Democratic party in the State to take
the lead in providing "a rallying point
for liberal opinion"
The vote given Upton Sinclair, E. p
I. c. candidate for Governor in the
November 6 election, was described
by Creel as plainly symptomatic of
bitter dissatisfaction with existing
conditions, and must be needed" Sim
clair was defeated by Acting Gov.
Frank F. Merriam, Republican.
"Unsound Repudiated."
Terming the outcome of the elec-
ton "a Sinclair defeat and not
Merriam victory" Creel said there
also was agreement that the major
ity vote was in no sense reactionary.
but only the reputation of unsound
schemes of social reform.
"The one sure way to calm unrest
and avert decentralization is through
some immediate and definite declara-
ton of policy and purpose that will
revive confidence and courage, giving
hope back to the hopeless" Creel's let
ter said.
Stresses Party Duty.
"It Is peculiarly proper that we
should take the lead in formulating
a progressive program, and thus pro-
vide a rallying point for liberal opin-
ion. Our party's head captains the
forces Of progress in the United States
today, and it is also the case that the
votes of registered Democrats elected
Mr.. Merriam. 1t is. therefore, both
the right and the duty of true Dem
ocrats to file bill of particulars with
the administration
Creel listed as first and foremost"
in such a bill that wealth bear its
share of the tax burden"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Public
and private expressions of admin

reasonably accurate forecast OF
what the "new deal" plans for
banks and money.
Dollar devaluation: informal dol
lar stabilization exists now at 59.06
cents, gold. There is no intention
to devalue the dollar further i'm
mediately. Either of at least two
conditions could quickly persuade
President Roosevelt 10 change the
value of the dollar in terms of gold
If remaining gold standard
countries. notably France, were
forced off gold, it mighS then be
desirable further to devalue the
American dollar in line with the
general depreciation of currency
which would ensue throughout the
world.
Q. Mr.. Roosevelt would not hesi-
tate to devalue the dollar further
to arrive at an international cur
rrency stabilization agreement. The
statutory limit of devaluation is Sc
cents gold.
In his message to congress last
January MI. Roosevelt said the dis
turbed state of international affairs
prevented international currency

sent up in England a trial balloon
