John r. Fitzpatrick, who is now the
committee counsel.
Randolph said the committee pro-
poses to speed up the inquiry and
announced there would be a con-
tinuous parade of witnesses after the
resumption of the hearings Monday

pected to be lawyers and bondsmen
who will be called to discuss the bond
ing racket which Garnett said he
broke up soon after taking Office.
In the meantime Randolph began
the draft of a radio speech on crime
in Washington which he will make
Saturday night over WJSV and the
Dixie network of the Columbia Broad
casting System. In this broadcast he
plans to compare crime conditions

comparable size and review briefly

ON JEFFERSON PLAT
Commissioners Would Make Pur-
chased Section Into Munic-
ipal Facility.

After four years Of unsuccessful
efforts to buy all of proposed site
in Southwest Washington for a new
Jefferson Junior High School Build
ing, the Commissioners are seeking
approval of the Budget Bureau and
Congress for acquisition of a different
tract of land. it was revealed today.
A request for a supplemental ap-
preparation of $4,000 has been sent
TO the Budget Bureau for purchase
OF a portion OF the area between
School and E, Fourth and Sixth streets
southwest. lying Immediately to the
south of the present location Of the
junior high school.
Would Afford Play Site.
The plan is to build the new school
building on this site and to raze the
present old building and to convert
its site into school playground.
Originally, it was intended to erect
the new junior high school on a site
between Seventh and Eighth. H and
l streets southwest The first appro-
prlatlon for the purchase of that area
was made in the 1880 appropriation
act. Two years later Congress ap-
propriated 100000 for starting con-
struction of the school. placing the
limit of cost at s575,0O0 The initial
construction fund is still available
ana building of the school will start
as soon as the problem of the site
is settled.
Sl26,000 Expended.
To date sl26.O0o has been spent
for purchase of a portion of the pro-
posed site. The Commissioners have
been unable to buy the remainder of
that site at a price which they re-
garded as reasonable. Twice the
matter has been placed in the hands
Of condemnation jury and both
times the award was rejected as be-
ing too high.
At the past session of Congress the
Commissioners obtained an addition
al appropriation of Sl05,000 to buy
the remaining portion, but again ne
gotiations with the land owners
failed.
The Commissioners now plan to
convert this purchased land into a
District playground or some other
needed municipal facility.
