Plans to erect a monumental Fed
eral Academy of Arts of the Stage on
Columbia Island, designed to make
Washington the cultural as well as
the political center of the country,
were revealed to the District Com
miSSioners today by the Sponsoring
Committee.
The committee was headed by Ed
win Fairfax Naulty, technical counsel
and secretary of the national group
representing the arts. He told the
Commissioners it was proposed to OBJ
tain money from the Public Works
Administration to erect the huge
building. Although no definite sum
was mentioned, the allotment plans
shown forthe project probably woulo
cost several million dollars.
Naulty explained the group he rep
resented wanted nothing from the
District as the theater project was
planned as national in scope, and, il
approved by Secretary Ickes, woulo
be built entirely with Federal funds
The bill, he said, would be introduced
in Congress, authorizing use Of the
site on Columbia Island which faces
the Virginia side of the Potomac
across from the Arlington Memorial
Bridge.
Capital Site Logical.
The choice of Washington as loca-
ton OF the proposed Federal acad-

PARALYSIS GAINS;
PARENTS WARNED
-F'
Children Should Be Kept
From Crowds as
Precaution.

A statement of caution to Washing
ton parents has been issued by the
Health Department following the
death in Children's Hospital yesterday
of Sonia Maria Reynante, 2 months
old, from what was tentatively de-
scribed as infantile paralysis.
If it is decided definitely that death
was due to infantile paralysis, it will
be the fourth such fatality in three
weeks, equaling the total normally
reached in year.
The other victims were Dorothy
Melvin, 4, who died July 9; Miss Evie
Eddy, a telephone operator, and Will
liam H. Gormley, an employe OF the
Internal Revenue Bureau, both OF
whom died Thursday.
While the recent Jump of infantile
paralysis cases in the District is prob
ably an accident and there is no cause
for alarm, Dr.. James G. Cumming,
chief of the Bureau of Preventable
Diseases, District Health Department,
said parents should take precautions
with their children.
Should Avoid Crowds.
"Infantile paralysis Is transmitted
through nasal and mouth excretions
of the infected person." DR.. Cumming
said, ito the nose or mouth Of others.
There are 10 healthy carriers to every
one who Is susceptible to the disease.
They are the usual transmitters Of
infantile paralysis because they show
no symptoms of their infection and
walk around among other people.
'It is important that all children
be kept from having as many con-
facts with other persons as possible.
This reduces their chances Of infec-
ton. In other words, it is inadvisable
for them to go more often than neces-
sary to places where large numbers
congregate.
Symptoms of the disease are q
headache, slightly stiff neck, . little
diarrhea, a lack Of appetite and .
slight fever.
Disease Strikes Swiftly.
"As soon as a child develops any
of these symptoms, he should be
rushed Immediately to bed and given
complete quiet and relaxation, and be
put under the care of a competent
physician. This is the most important
point I have to make, for infantile
paralysis strikes quickly and paralysis
is likely to set in within "a hours un-
less this procedure is adopted"
Fourteen cases of infantile paralysis
reported in Virginia yesterday brought
that States total since May to 264.
There have been several deaths in the
State.
A majority of the Virginia cases are
south Of Richmond. One case each
has been reported in Arlington, Fair
fax and Prince william Counties.

SENATE PASSES
RAIL BRIDGES BILL
Measure to Open Up Traffic
Arteries Goes to House
Conference. =

The bill TO require the steam rail-
roads to build two bridges for the
purpose Of opening up two new traf-
fic arteries across the Northeast Sec
ton of the city passed the Senate
yesterday afternoon along with sew
eral other District measures.
The bridge bill previously had gone
through the House. but 1t must go
back to that body today or tomorrow
for action Of several minor Senate
amendments. .
The Senate also passed, with amend
ments, House bills allowing District
firemen to live across the District
line in adjacent States, and author
izing public order arrangements for
the forthcoming colored Eks con-
vention. Both measures go back to
the House for action on Senate
amendments. ~
One other measure. authorizing the
Pennsylvania Railroad to build
bridge across New York avenue, near
West Virginia avenue northeast. to
carry q siding into a commercially
zcned area, also passed the Senate.
No changes were made in the House
text, so this bill is ready to 60 to the
White House.
Police Bill Passed.
Today the Senate passed a bill al
lowing members of the police force
to live in nearby counties Of Maryland
and Virginia, similar to the bill passed
for flremen yesterday.
The two new trafic bridges in the
northeast, to be built at the expense
Of the railroads, will be located as
follows:
One overpass, starting at Brent
wood road and T street northeast
and extending across the railroad
yards to q point beyond New York
avenue.
One underpass at Eighteenth street
northeast, to open up highway run
ming diagonally from Fourteenth
street and Rhode Island avenue to
the junction Of New York and West
Virginia avenues.
Four Spans in Original Law.
The law of 1908 authorizing the
building of Union Station required the
railroads to build four bridges be-
cause Of the number Of streets that
were being closed in the area north
east Of the depot. The first struc-
ture, at New York avenue and Eek
ington place, was built years ago, but
was not used until that avenue had
been opened up and paved beyond the
east end of the bridge.
The original law called for three
other bridges, at Ninth. Twelfth and
Fifteenth streets northeast. The new
bill is q revision Of that plan, to pro-
vide for two bridges instead Of three,
and at different points. City officials
and planning experts concluded that
the trend of development in that
area will make the revised highway
plan more practical than the original
plan.

Indians Display
Fine Teamwork

Displaying an offensive and de-
fensive that were brilliant through
out the game, Catawba's Indians
sunk the gridders of Hampden-Sid-
ney College by 26-6 score on
Saturday afternoon, October 19.
Both teams fought hard and
clean game and the playing on both
sides was commendable. Kesler and
Williams starred on the Catawba
line, while Clark, Dinges, and
Jersey Bing" Lundholm made
sparkling backheld plays. For
Hampden-Sidney the passing of
Euchincy was remarkable because
of the number of completed passes
despite the manner in which he was
rushed by Catawba linsemen.
Catawba scored one touchdown
in each period, and Vaniewsky made
two of his four placements count.
In the first quarter the Indians
drove deep into Hampden-Sidney
territory on two occasions, scoring
6-pointer ON the second push By
3o-yard pass from Clark to Kesler.
In the second period Clark's run
around end for touchdown ended
another power drive from midfeld.
Hampden-Sidney took the often
sive in the third quarter and began
an open pass attack. However,
their efforts were nullifed when
Clark intercepted one and raced
80 yards down the sidelines for the
score. But Hampden-Sidney, not
to be denied, came right back and
made its only touchdown on a
pass from Euchincy to Formwalt.
Catawba's fourth tally followed a
l4-yard run by Clark and a line
play by Meehan in the final quart
er.
