additional civil works funds can be
obtained. The entire cost is esti-
mated at 100000.
The immediate scope Of work in

swimming pool and bath house, the
foundations Of which are being laid.
Approximately 80 per cent Of the
grading on the project has been done,
and rather than hold up work Mr..
Finnan wants to go ahead now with
the excavation for the stadium and
construction Of the numerous athletic
fields which the center will contain.
1t would be cheaper to use the dirt
obtained by excavating the stadium

a definite time on which to put the

However. before entering into 9
formal agreement, Democratic leaders
began a final close check on the line

then decided not to risk defeat In

HOLDERS OF RUSSIAN
BONDS MAY GET PAID
Debt Negotiations With Soviet
May Lead to Individual
Payments.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
1t is generally believed by State De-
partment officials that American
holders Of czarist and Kerensky Rus
sian bonds will receive something for
them as a result Of debt negotiations
with the Soviet government. HOW
much they will get, however. still Is
problematical.
There have been indications the
Soviet settlement will come In the
form Of lump sum. That sum then
would be divided between the United
States Government, for debts owed 1t
by Russian governments; private
holders of Russian governmental
bonds and other claimants.
The United States would determine
how the division would be made.
Holders OF Russian securities may
file them with the State Department,
which promises due attention, or may
await an expected general call for
claims.

BALTIMORE. February 7|The
presidents OF two Baltimore educa-
tlonal institutions. the Johns Hop
kins University and Goucher College,
today made public opposition 10 the
plan OF the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration for providing
part-time jobs for college students.
DR.. Joseph s. Ames, president Of
Johns Hopkins, urged "a modification
OF the plan in such a manner that
privately supported institutions may
be compensated for the actual loss
sustained in waving tuition fees Of
students assisted by Federal funds"
In his letter to Harry L. Hopkins,
emergency relief administrator at
Washington, DR.. AmeS said the
plan whereby the institution would
waive its tuition fees would deprive
it of an income that would be little
short OF disastrous to the institution"
If Goucher College were to accept
your proposal" wrote DR.. David A.
Robertson, president of Goucher, to
Commissioner OF Education George F.
Zook, students now registered might
well withdraw from present registra-
tion with its responsibilities for fees
and re-enter on your basis without
I fees.
Furthermore, if your plan con-
tinues, students might well withdraw
from any or all privately supported
, colleges requiring tees and enter tax
supported colleges which can afford
to waive payment OF fees since the
public is paying"
Both educators suggested as q sub
stitute for the present proposal that
Federal loans or scholarships be made
10 worthy, prospective students.

known as the Bull" just as the late
Georges Clemenceau was called "the

Daladier is short and thickset. He
Is square -jawed. has a broad forehead
and is beginning to turn bald. The
son of a country baker. he has many
of the characteristics Of the peasant
is cautious. slow to make up his
mind, but once he has done so. he

DEEDS Of TRUST
SAFEGUARD K. D
Senate Passes D. c. Meas
ure to Aid Investors.
Bills Go to House.

The bill to place new safeguards
around the recording and releasing Of
deeds Of trust in the District was one
Of group Of local measures passed
by the Senate yesterday and sent to
the House to await action there.
Other bills agreed to by the Senate
without debate are: To change the
name Of B street southwest to Inde-
pendence avenue, and one to author
lie the Commissioners to sell the old
Potomac School property in the
Southwest section, which Is no longer
used for school purposes.
In recommending passage Of the
deed OF trust bill, the report Of Chair
man King Of the District Committee
stated that the inadequacy Of exist
ing laws relating to the recording and
releasing OF deeds Of trust has resulted
in heavy loss to investors in bonds and
notes. The bill covers one OF the
subjects on which the Public Utilities
Commission recommended legislation
in its recent housing report. The bill
was under consideration, however,
prior to that report.
Notes Limited.
The evidence Of Indebtedness Sc
cured by deed of trust would have
to be presented to the recorded OF
deeds, marked paid before the re-
lease of a deed Of trust could be re-
corded. There Is also section to pre-
vent the issuance Of more than one
note or series Of notes purporting to
be secured by the same deed OF trust.
The change in the name Of B
street southwest to Independence
avenue was suggested by Frederic A.
Delano Of the Park and Planning
Commission. B street on the north
side Of the Mall not long ago was
named Constitution avenue. and 1t
was deemed appropriate that there
should also be a thoroughfare In the
Capital City named In honor OF the
Declaration Of independence.
Two Claim Bills Passed.

authorize the Commission on Regula-
ton Of the Healing Arts to issue .
license to Della D. Ledendecker to

hover the sum of s34,26o for the de-
probation Of his property caused by
