LEN|ENCY

District Supreme Court Justice
James M. Proctor yesterday cor
rected a mistake made by a Grim
inal Court jury last April.
The jury's mistake was in con-
victing Gordon V. Williamson of
second-degree murder despite the
pleas of John j. Sirica, his attor-
ney. and of Prosecutor Roger Robb
for conviction of the less serious
crime of manslaughter.
Justice Proctor yesterday grant
ed Mr.. Sirica's motion for a new
trial. Immediately Williamson
pleaded guilty to manslaughter
and was sentenced to serve from
three to seven years in prison.
Williamson, who claimed self
defense, shot and killed his friend,
Owen Sennett, while on a party,
September 20, 1884.

Looks like Ben Bernie is in

YOwSer! The Blue Ribbon has

The law-maker claims that
the youth of the nation Is be-
ing encouraged to drink by
brOadcasting such liquor pro-

Bernie and Winchell are ex-
changing scalliOnS, 1t sounds
more like food program.
Naturally, Ben made q mis-
take when he kidded about the
Gettysburg address, but q Rep
reSentative should reprimand
him. They made joke out of

Data
Useless in Storage

Thousands of dollars worth of
important scientific collections are
daily depreciating in value in
storage rooms of the Smithsonian
Institution because the United
States Government has failed to
appropriate sufficient money to
preserve them, it was learned to-
day.
Revelation that the collections
are packed away in storage
rooms, where neither the public
nor scientists may see them, &C.
companied the announcement
that the Smithsonian Institution
had requested $161,0 from the
Works Relief Administration for
classification, arrangement and
preservation of the national col
lection (which it has been impos-
Sible to care for with the present
force"
OF Little Use
Collections of anthropological,
biological and geological data, in
valuable to scientists, are now in
temporary storage, where they are
losing their value, according to
j. E. Graf. associate director of
the institution. He said:
"Ins their temporary storage
quarters, these collections are
mot 50 well protected as they
might be. They are useless
The Washington times., 1935-06-22

where they are as far as study is
concerned. The collections are
worth less scientifically than
they would be il we could care
for them properly.
1--WE are not making full use
Of our possibilities with the
collections improperly taken
care of. We just don't like it,
and we would like to have
some more money to remedy
the situation"
$161,O6O NEEDED
The $161,060 requested by the
institution would be used to en-
ploy 145 professional workers who
would record and label and pre-
serve the collections. The sum
also includes $4,000 for ma.
terials.
At present there are only 90
workers on the scientific staff
employed in this work. Mr.. Graf
continued:
"The present force is not
able to keep abreast of the
necessary work. They handle
as much as they can and the
rest of the collections are
stored away. With the addi-
tiOnal workers, we could at
least bring our collections up
to date"

Fourteen years ago someone
planted a cherry tree in the yard

Thriving in the fertile soil, it
grew until it bore great quantities
of fruit. Now it is an annual

cherry day." when they descend
upon the tree and fill up on the
ripe, red cherries.
Yesterday was 1885 cherry

j. s. TRIANGLE
FACES DELAY;
FUNDS GONE
Two PIazas, Apex Offices
Must Wait for Congress
To Vote Appropriation

With completion of the Inter.
nal Revenue Annex, on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue between Tenth and
Eleventh Streets late this sum-
mer, development of the $780,
000, 900 Federal triangle will come
to a standstill unless Congress ap-
propriates money for additional
construction before it adjourns,
which is considered unlikely.
Treasury Department archi-
tects, at the direction of the Con-
gress, have prepared plans for
the next unit contemplated in
the development - the Apex
building"-but the lack of an ap-
preparation keeps the building in
the blueprints.
For Varied offices
The Apex building, as its name
would indicate, is to be built at
the apex of the triangle-the
point formed by the intersection
of Pennsylvania and Constitution
Avenues. It would house indie
pendent Federal commissions, &C
cording to present plans.
Two other developments which
have been definitely projected, but
for which no funds are immedi-
ately available, are the new plazas
to be located in the triangle
groups.
The great plaza" will extend
eastward from the Commerce De-
partment and Fourteenth Street,
in the hollow square formed by
the new building along ConStitu-
ton Avenue and the new Post
Office Building. It is planned to
develop this plaza with a collonade
at either end, with elaborate
landscaping between.
The other plaza would be in
the form of a circle on Twelfth
Street, within the court now
three-fourths formed by the new
Post Office Building and the Blu
reau Of Internal Revenue. A
fountain would play in the cen
ter of tbs court. Twelfth Street
traffic would be routed around
on each side.
These are the only three de.
velopmentS for which actual
plans have been made. AS to
their cost, architects are vague.
At one time it was estimated the
apex building could be con-
structed for $4,000, 900, but since
that time construction prices
have changed, and it probably
would cost more.
The two plazas could be con-
Structed for about a million dol.
lars, it is estimated, but not one
cent is available.
Not Mind Readers
Already approximately sixty-six
million dollars has been spent in
constructing the buildings now in
the triangle, including the Reve-
nue. Annex, but Treasury officials
decline to estimate the final cos:
of the complete triangle develop
ment, as contemplated. It is ad-
mitted that it may reach one bill
lion dollars.
The triangle still is marred by
the intellectually inharmonious
though still Serviceable District
Building, the old Southern Rail.
way Building, and old Post Office
Department Building. No plans
have been made for removal of
these three buildings or construc.
ton of others to take their places.

ALLEN SUBMITS.
.PROJECTSFOR
APPROVAL
First Group Of Jobs Designed
To Employ $500 Now on Re-
lief; Other Plans Pushed

The first batch" of work.relief
projects for the District. designed
to take $500 men off relief rolls
and put them to work on useful
projects for one year, has gone to
the Federal allotment board.
1t is hoped that work can begin
on them by July /. Commissioner
George Allen, works progress ad
ministrator for the District, said
today.
Mr.. Allen said he would call g
meeting of heads of department
of the District government at L
a. m. Monday to explain the sor
of projects for which the work
relief money can be spent, tn
method of procedure, and othe
details.
Hopes for Speed
He said he hoped by the end O
July to have all employables o
relief rolls at work on worthwhile
projects which will require yea
The first $500, about a fifth O
the entire number. he hopes
have at work by the end of tn
first week in July. Mr.. ALE
added:
Zone thing we are demanding
above all else is continuity. That
is, the men must be kept at
work for year. If a project is
submitted which will employ
100 men for three months only,
it will be rejected unless some
supplementary projects accom-
pany it to keep those same 100
men at work for a full year."
Commissioner Allen announced
the appointments of Capt. Howard
F. Clark as deputy works progress
administrator and w. c. Cleary
as administrative. assistant.
Speed is considered essential in
the getting of projects before him
for approval. Mr.. Allen said:
"IlI not urge the department
heads to bring in projects for ap-
prevail, but I'll let them know
that the earlier worthwhile prof.
ectS are submitted, the better
chance they will have of getting
a Slice.-Of the work relief money.
But the chief consideration
must, of course, be for labor,
and projects which are approved
will be those which furnish the
most jobs.
ALLEN PLEASED
Exercising pleasure at the type
of projects represented by the
seven already submitted, which he
hopes will be approved early next
week, Mr.. Allen observed:
"These projects all are neces-
sary and useful. If we didn't
get them done through this
method, the taxpayers would
have to pay for them"
Not knowing whether Federal
work relief projects in the District
are to come under his jurisdiction
as works progress administrator,
Commissioner Allen said he is
prepared to take care of all en-
ployables now on relief through
strictly District projects.
When the program gets under
way, it is the hope of the Work
Relief Administrator that the Dis
trict may forget" the problem of
the employables now on relief, for
they will all be at work, as if all
had secured jobs in private in
dustry for year.

In a completely interesting bowl ing match featuring two of Con- necticut's top-notch primers, Jack White, the New Haven Express" and Joe Morelli of Stamford, 1884 U. s. zll-events champion, went into the eighth box of the fifth and final game last night at the Genlot alleys before White pulled out with a 23 pin victory and an average of 130 pins for the five games, rolled on a total pinfall basis. Good and bad bowling was on tap, White opening with d. 164 string and dropping to 98 in the second game while Morclii dropped from 138 to an even 100 in the third game. White, U. $. sweepstakes duck pin champion of 1895 had , strikes and IS spares, missing three spare leaves while M0relli had 4 strikes, 19 spares and missed five leaves. according to the detailed and I4c- curate accounting of Scorer Ernie Mansanaro. the demon druggist duckpin destroyer.
 Morelli had a one-pin lead in the seventh box of the final game, but White finished strong with 654 to 631 as follows: White-164, 9S. 125, 140, 127. Morelli-131, 138, 100, 126, 136.

Missing Managers Prevent Settlement Of Loop Scramble

President William Derwin was busy today scouting up managers Tom Carney of the North End Thomas Club and Johnny Raytk- wich of the Emeralds, end John Howard of the Sacred Hearts, all of whom were present at the meet ing at which a gentleman's agree ment was made as to the division of the City Amateur League funds The three pilots were conspicuous by their absence at last nights meeting which took place at the office of Hamilton Park Pavilion.
 According to the sentiments ex- pressed, if that they be, Myles Kel- ley. frey manager of the Brook lyns is all alone in his stand, and the champions will have to be con- tent with tie for third place in the division of the treasury and a one eight portion of the tourney proceeds which amount to $56.00 inclusive of the first game in the play-off series.
 Agreed!
 There is little doubt as to the stand of the other pilots who were at the session and they include Louie Darlington, of the Family Five: Francis Bowling of the Tri- bunes; Mir Gaughan, Mir Kelley, John Howard, vice-president, and who represented the Sacred Hearts. All agree that the said change was made and are 1oudspoken fin their sentiments. That is al with the exception of Kelley, who cannot be budged.
 President Derwin said that he wants all of the managers at a meeting to be held at the YMCA on Monday night without fail for he wil call for an honest repitition of the vote taken last January.
 George Casey of the Washing ton Hills was also present last night but was handicapped be- cause he failed to appear at the session that MT Kelley questions.
