ROCK CREEK BRIDGE
PLANS ARE REVISED
Low-Level Span to Garry Sewer
as Part Of New Con.
Structinn.

Plans for the low-level bridge across
Rock Creek, upstream of P street, in
the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway,
were revised yesterday, to carry the
intercepter storm water and sanitary
sewer, as part Of the new construction.
Frank T. Gartside, acting superin-
tendent of the National Capital Parks,
said that the revised plans have been
approved by the park authorities and
sent to the Bureau Of Public Roads Of
the Agriculture Department, which
will supervise the work for the Fed
eral Government. Now that the Dis
trict government has nearly completed
construction Of the high-level bridge
at P street, spanning Rock Creek VAL
ley, the work on the bridge nearby will
proceed uninterruptedly, authorities
declared.
]. A. La Porte of New York has been
given contract for s94 900 to build
the span and under the program an
nounced by the Bureau of Public
Roads $50 days will be given for its
completion. The structure will cross
Rock Creek at an angle, upstream
from the high-level bridge at P street.
1t will be two-span bridge, built OF
concrete. with stone facing. Due to
the revision in plans, officials believe
that the contractor will be given a
compromising time for the work on
the sewer job, which will be nodded
into the park structure, so as not to
be obtrusive.

ST. LOUIS, July l3-Now comes
Architect Henri RuSch, who proposes
a 196-story world industrial mart"
rising 1000 feet into the heavens as
a panacea for this depression-hit
| planet.
The former st. Louis city engineer
would have the Federal Government
build a colossal city under one roof,
covering four city blocks and con-
tanning all industrial, commercial and
residential facilities.
Built at a cost of $3.50 100000 the
structure would accommodate 100000
persons, Rusch said. He describes it
as "a world mart in which would be
sold everything the world produces,
housed in a building of colossal pro-
portions which in itself would attract
the travelling visitors of other coun-
tries" The international clearing
house" in theory would revise ailing
world trade.
Has Drawings All Ready.
Rusch, a 67-year-old gray-haired
Dutchman who came here during the
Worlds Fair of 1904 after pioneering
in the art of reinforcing concrete de-
veloped in the Transvaal, spread out
neat and elaborate drawings-draw-
ings he plans to present to President
Roosevelt in the hope Of getting Fed
eral. support of his architectural
dream.
For three years I have worked on
these plans night and day." he de-
clared. mot for myself. you under
stand. will give the plans to the
Government for nothing. It is my
contribution to a troubled world
Impossible to build? Don't be
foolish" he countered, taking from
his files formidable sheaf of CAL
culations, statistics-stress and strain
data proving the incredible structure
an engineering feat within the scope
of reality.
Would Have 1875 Elevators.
Shelled in white glazed terra Gotta,
the structure would have a steel
skeleton encased in reinforced con-
crete, he said, and would be COM
pletely air conditioned.
One hundred and twenty-six ele-
vatorS and 70 freight lifts would shut
tie the heaven and earthbound traffic.
In fancy we enter an elevator.
Up we go through 10 floors devoted
to world mart where foreign and
domestic manufacturers exhibit their
products. The air Is getting thinner,
but the trade is heavier in the next
81 levels used for commercial and
industrial enterprises.
Relax. if you can, as you inspect
three stories laden with recreational
facilities-and catch the sparkling
wilderness Of a 4,000-bed hospital on
the next floor.
University Uses Four Floors.
Is your apartment among those
from the 18th to the 166th floor
or can't you remember? Oh well,
anyway, let's get a bite to eat in the
restaurant seating 5000 at the 167th-
floor level and drop to the university
on the next four floors.

Romans COrnea,
Grated, Restores
Sight to Boys Eye
Bandages RemOuedA After
He Stays in Darkness
for II DAYS.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 13.-The grating
of cornea from a woman's right eye
to the left eye Of Stanley May, IA, OF
independence, Mo-, was pronounced
a success today by physicians at Pas
savant Memorial Hospital.
The bandages were removed after
Stanley had been in total darkness
for II days and the graft was found
to have healed perfectly, the doctors
said. The youths sight was said to
be perfectly clear.
The cornea was furnished by a
woman, who was not identified, from
whom it was necessary to remove the
eye because Of a tumor growth which
did not affect the cornea.
Physicians said young May, who
lost the sight Of his eye five years ago
when he fell on a reed while chasing
base ball, would be able to leave the
hospital in a few days.
DR.. Irving 8. Cutter, in charge Of
the hospital, said that some times the
gratis do not remain clear and later
become slightly opaque. Similar opera
tons have been performed in other
cases, he said, with varying success.
The boys father, William H. May,
lumber and coal dealer, said he would
come to Chicago next week to take
him home.

Architect Rusch has a patent on the
tunnel idea-it prevents traffic con-
gestion adjacent to the mammoth
building.
Earthquakes No Danger.
We emerge through a 20-foot con-
crete mat, entirely surrounding the
four-block square building, preclud-
ing possibility of destruction by
earthquakes.
We walk out on a tree-studded
plaza covering So square blocks and
turn to behold the eighth wonder Of

years to build-but, whoal Where's

keeping out importations as significant
as these.
It may also be remarked that such
tariff walls are simply proof that do
mestic prices are relatively high and
that the tariff, for once, is working
for the farmer. With regard to our
export crops, Of course, in years of
normal weather 1t makes little differ
ence how high the tariff Is. In such
years whether the tariff on corn is
cents or a million dollars a bushel
matters not the slightest; either rate
Is equally ineffective.
It Is to take the place Of these
ineffective tariffs that the processing
tax has been invented. 1t is to the
farmer what the tariff is to industry.
It Is really q tariff equalizer, and for
that reason will probably not be aban-
doned by agriculture unless and until
industry is willing to give up its tariffs.
There Is one vital difference, however,
and that is that the processing tax, by
the terms Of the adjustment act, has
ceiling to 1.-THE provision in the
act protecting consumers against pay
ing a higher percentage of their food
dollar to farmers than they did before
the war. There is no such limitation
on the ordinary tariff. In justice to
consumers, I wonder whether such q
limitation should not be written in.
Whether this is done or not, agricul-
ture will continue to work in the ma
tional interest by laboring for true
balance between producing groups and
by gradually expanding its production
IN the hope that industry will shortly
be able to keep pace with it.

ers, should also like to put up to
those administration critics who full
inmate against Government interfer-
ence with business, and who say that
II you will only let the American busi-
ness man do his job In his own capable
and creditable way. labor will be en-
ployed, farmers will have q market,
and everybody will be happy. How
can they 50 easily forget 1882. when
business did have its own way? How
can they possibly forget that the
market for 10000, 900 acres of Amer
ican farm products has been taken
away from the American farmer by
higher and higher tariffs? Somehow
! wonder II journalistic critic who
happens to be one of the 200
largest non-banking corporations in
the United States is qualified to speak
on behalf OF either the unincorporated
farmer, the unincorporated laborer, or
the owner Of small business.
If there is any political value in the
current clanor about imports of food
products, those who oppose the agri-
cultural program are welcome to 1t.
Frankly, am unable to see how any
one with o sense Of perspective can
become alarmed about grain imports
which were less than 2 per cent of
the reduction in the grain crop at
tributable to the drought, or meat
imports which were less than half the
imports for 1929. For my part. when
ever the drought Is as bad as 1t was
last year, hope we always have i'm
portations to protect consumers. I
cannot believe there are many farmers
who would deliberately try to push
prices to the highest possible point by

CHEST UNIT SEEKS
TO PARE BUDGETS
Failure to Reach Goal
Makes Reductions
Necessary.

Members Of the Community Chest
Budget Committee, led by Louis OF
tenberg, chairman, held another daily
meeting yesterday, reconsidering the
budgets of the 65 Chest agencies and
striving to make them fit the reduced
amounts made necessary by the fall
ure Of the Chest to reach its goal.
The Budget Committee is faced
with the fact that after receiving nu-
merous contributions following the
campaign, the Chest is still approx
lmately $4,000 short of its goal.
These budgets have already been
approved by the Budget Committee as
the least possible amount on which
these IS agencies could adequately
function in 1886" Gutenberg said yes
terday. ITO cut them further seems
almost impossible, but that is the
task set for the Budget Commit
tee to accomplish. The only thing
we can do is to investigate further
and strive to reduce the total amount
with the least possible hardship to
the people served by the agencies"
The Budget Committee is divided
into three groups. In each of these
groups there are smaller committees,
known as visiting committees" whose
duty is to visit each agency, study its
problems and then determine what
part, If any, Of the work can be elm
mated. Each of these groups has
been busy the last week, and the re-
suits will be known in the next few
days, when report is prepared for
the Chest Board of Trustees.
AS fast as reports on the various
budgets are made by the committees,
they are turned over to Frank M.
Gray. secretary of the committee, and
Gray's Office has been working over
time every night for weeks in an ef-
fort to get the whole picture in shape
to present to the trustees. He ex-
poets to be ready for the next meet
ing Of that body, which will be held
shortly after the first of the year.
