The sleep situation among the ami
mails at the Zoo, ordinarily given little
thought by the general public, has de-
veloped into a problem of major I'M
portance to Smithsonian scientists,
Federal officials and municipal engi-
neers confronted with devising park
way link that won't disturb DR..
Mann's slumbering menagetie.
Monkeys and lions and bears and
other wild beasts get the filters after
being stared at all day by curious
humans. animal keepers explain.
They need lots of peaceful quietude
at night in order to refresh themselves
for the ordeal of another day OF
peanut lodging and fnger-pointing.
So of late there has been a huddle
of minds over the problem, with the
result that plans have been worked
out for a new highway at the east
end of the Zoo Park to form the
final link of a great circle" drive
known as the Rock Creek Potomac
parkway. The new road would be
located so as to give a minimum OF
motor noises to sleeping inmates of
the Zoo end is substitute for
tunnel proposal that has been con-
sidered by the National Park Service.
Opposition Is Keen.
Smithsonian authorities are vigorous
in their opposition to the tunnel plan.
it was asserted yesterday by DR.. Alex
ander Wetmore, assistant secretary OF
the institution, which operates the
Zoo. He favors the highway at the
east end of the Zoo reservation.
At present the gates of the National
Geological Park are closed to motor
traffic at nightfall. This blocks of
Rock Greek Valley between Calvert
street and Klingle road. Automobiles
must go up around Connecticut ave-
nue. or find another outlet to the
northward when travelling in that d.
rection. Similarly. when they come
to Klingle road, they find the Zoo
entrance there shut off after dark,
and motorists must branch off to
another part of the highway system.
Now that the District Government.
the Bureau of Public Roads and the
National Capital Parks are at work
putting in new park drives in Rock
Creek Valley south of @ street, the
problem of giving automobile access
at all times in the National Geological
Park becomes more of interest than
ever.
Would Follow East Side.
Some time ago the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
worked out a program, under which

wounded soldiers in a field swept by
heavy machine gun and shell FIRE"
Sergt Barrett was in three Of the
five major engagements Of the 4th
Brigade, which lost IL 1868 men for the
heaviest casualty record in the A. E. F.
He missed two. he said, because he was
locked up pending the disposal of
his "a w. o. L." to get to France.
The first man to befriend him and
stand by him all these years was a
former Representative from Galveston,
Tex, Mai. Clark Thompson, who
served in the Marines. Thompson got
a bill introduced and reintroduced
from time to time. Then Senator Nor
ris Sheppard of Texas, chairman of
the Military Affairs Committee, took
up the fight for the former sergeant.
Others who aided primarily we're
Representative Melvin J. Mas of Min
nesota. a former Marine. and Repre-
sentative Jennings Randolph of West
Virginia.
Vetoed by President.
President Roosevelt vetoed the
earlier bill April II, 1884, because of
irregularities in his service record.
Controller General McCarl had dis
approved it In the first place for the
reason that Barrett had been ny
pothetically paid"
Il don't get that" the veteran Ma
rine snorted In reflection yesterday.
Nor does Barrett care a rap about
the final wording of the bill which
clears his Army record with this Ian
guage. His service in the United
States Army during the period in
question is hereby made honorable
by virtue of the passage OF this act. "
That doesn't bother me-" Barrett
exclaimed. ITS the principle of the
thing was fighting for. The Gov
eminent owed me some pay and
am going to collect it. That's all
there Is to it."
But He Won't Get All.
But he won't collect all of 1t. A
compromise was reached. Barrett will
receive s119.85 for service with the
Army in France from May Z. 1918
to August 10. l9l8-provided Presi-
dent Roosevelt attaches his signature.
He will forfeit the Army pay for
service in the United States-a mat
ter of S61.85. The Army will still
owe me that" he said with CLINT
in his eve.
Barrett is just as proud of his good
conduct medal he received with his
honorable discharge from the Marine
Corps as he is of his citations.
For several years he has been liv-
ing in Washington, fighting his case
in Congress. He is employed now in
the ONCE of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority.
