.HAZEN OFFERS
PLAN To BUILD
D. {. CENTER
Sale of Two Blocks Bought
For Project Would Finance
Smaller Unit

Sale of two of the four city
blocks of property purchased by
the District for construction of
the new Municipal Center was I'M
der consideration by the District
Commissioners today as a means
of financing the building of the
small courts unit of the project.
The two blocks which would be
sold are between Third and Sixth
Streets and Louisia::. and Indiana
Avenues Northwest.
Would Avoid Tax Drop
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen,
one of the proponents of the plan,
suggested that if the property is
sold to the Federal Government
for construction of the conSem.
plated Navy Department building,
the city will not have to give up
property to the Federal Govern.
ment which is now yielding taxes
to the District.
The location being considered
for the Navy Department building
is in the vicinity of Eighteenth
Street and New York Avenue
Northwest.
Under the plan for sale of the
Municipal Center property, there
would remain two city blocks on
which to construct the small
courts building. The unit would
house the police, traffic. United
States courts, and the recorder of
deeds and register of wills offices.
Hearing Scheduled
The plan will be submitted to
q group of citizens at a hearing
at II a. m. Friday, together with
two other plans for the financing
of the small courts unit. The
other plans call for PWA loan of
approximately $4,00O,OO0 and a di-
rect Congressional loan of a like
amount, the latter to be repaid
after the District has finished pay
ing its Indebtedness to the PWA
for both the tuberculosis Hospital
and the sewage disposal plant.
Also under discussion in con-
nection with financing the NUM-
cipal unit is the sale of the Dis
trict Building to the Government.
However. this last is nebulous, as
it would entail construction of a
new building to house the District
offices.

POLITICAL TREE
To YIELD FAT
HARVEST
Washington Has 40 Openings
Free of Civil Service to
Be Distributed
By EUGENE A. KELLY

Following today's election, the
Democrats will move on WASH
ington in unprecedented numbers,
with the possibility political trees
here will be shaken until every
ripe plum drops.
There will be plenty of trees
to shake, for Washington, be-
cause of its peculiar political set
up, presents the Democrats with
one of the best political orchards
in the country, at least for
town of its size.
Specifically, there are 40 jobs
here, any of which should we'll
be able to feed the collective
mouths of hungry and deserving
Democrats.
d. C. Jobs Are "PIumS"
The jobs whcih will come I'M
der political scrutiny will be the
heads of departments in the Dis
trict of Columbia Government.
None of these jobs is under the
jurisdiction of the Civil Service
Commission.
The District Commissioners, of
course, will express a profound
ignorance of such Vaccinations in
their realm, but these expressions
of wonder are quite understand
able in view of the fact what
ever changes are made in their
bureaus will be made, not by the
Commissioners themselves, but by
the Democrats prime pie cutter,
James A. Farley, Postmaster Gen
eral.
Consultation between Mr.. Far
ley and the District Commission
ers, about patronage jobs, are
purely routine. The District Com
missioners sanction whatever the
White House tasks"
There was definite talk today
in official District circles regard
ing the status of Miss Sibyl
Baker, director of Fairgrounds.
One of Best Plums
Miss Baker was appointed under
the Hoover administration. Her
job pays $4,000 a year and is con-
sidered one of the best plums here.
The women's division of the DEM
ocratic National Committee have
been discussing this job for many
months-at secret conclaves-
are expected now to come out into
the open and ask Mr.. Farley to do
something about it.
The scalp of William A. Van
Duzer, who holds the job of traffic
director at salary of $500, will
also be the target of the Demo-
Gratis tomahaWk. Mr.. Van Duzer,
contrary to reports, never cam
paigned for Clifford Pinchot, of
Pennsylvania. but he is none the
less an avoWed Republican. This
fact will be held against him when
Jealous Democrats take charge.
Barnard May Retire
Capt. M. M. Barnard, superin.
tendent of penal institutions, is
likely to be retired any time now.
This job pays $4,000 a year. Dem
ocrats have formulated plans for
a concerted drive to have one Of
their members placed there.
DR.. William c. Fowler, District
Health Officer, is cheduled for re-
tirement by the end of this month.
His job pays $1,000. and his sue
cessor will probably be chosen
from Democratic ranks.

Bar Names Committee to Lead
Drive on Crime; New Clues
in "MiStake" Killing

Police today we're receiving in.
formation on gambling houses
from vigilante committees, formed
by citizens associations in an
effort to drive crime from the
District, as the second week
ended since Allen B. Wilson was
shot to death, an innocent victim
of the gambling war, with the
killers still at large.
Pledged to cooperate With the
police, the vigilante committees
compiled evidence on gambling
joints, places where the numbers
racket is played and other haunts
of the underworld.
All this information was being
placed in the hands of the au-
thorities with the demand that
they clean up the Capital.
Citizens Mass
Meeting last night, the Dupont
Citizens Association launched an
investigation Of criminal condi-
tons in the central section of
the District. A special commit
tee was named and instructed to
meet with Capt. Edward Kelly,
commander of the Third pre-
cinct, to discuss the situation and
give all assistance possible.
The Progressive Citizens of
Georgetown also met last night
and pledged cooperation in the
drive to clean up the Capital and
a vigilante committee was named.
The Kenilworth Citizens Asso-
citation was another organization
which met and pledged it's help
in the campaign.
A permanent committee OF
criminal justice, sponsored by the
District Bar Association, was
named at a meeting at the May.
flower Hotel yesterday.
Three lawyers and six laymen,
including one woman, were named
to this committee which will guide
the campaign against crime. Two
additional committees to deal with
specific problems in the prosecu-
ton of criminal cases will be
named at a meeting next Monday.
The drive against crime came
as direct result of the murder
of Mr.. Wilson two weeks ago who
was shot down as he was delivering
newspaper at the home of
Mickey Mcdonald, a sportsman,
in Takoma Park, just over the
District line.
New Leads Found
The special police detail, con-
sisting of Washington and Balti-
more detectives working with
Montgomery county officers, ali
nounced today that they have de-
veloped important leads and hope
to solve the crime within the next
few days.
1t was reported that police had
tapped the Mcdonald telephone
line. Chief of Detectives Frank
S. w. Burke refused to confirm
or deny this report.
1t was also learned that police
have found a witness who saw
two men drive up to the Melon
aid home several hours before Mr..
Wilson was shot from ambush.
Those named to the Bar Asso-
citation committee were Mrs. Mer.
rift o. Chance, past president of
the Women's City Club: Paul B.
Cromelin, former assistant United
States Attorney; Regis Noel, presi-
dent of the Bar Association; Claude

it on just for "contrariness." We
gave it a hurried once-over and

have on this quilt, he will have no
trouble sinking into the arms OF

portunity to repose under it. Mrs.

was the Lion was paying so little
attention to the road that he land

several hours work with a team of
horses, and block and tackle, the
car was hauled out, but when these

article in a church paper, in regard
to the careless way of handling
