U. S. URGED TO BUILD
WAREHOUSE HERE
Cochran Advocates Construction
of Place to Store Obsolete but
Valuable Documents.

Erection of a Federal warehouse as
a part of any new Government con-
struction program in Washington was
advocated by Representative Cochran,
Democrat, of Missouri, during recent
hearings before the House Appropria-
tions Committee on the 1896 Treasury
Department appropriation bill
Cochran said he had made survey
which convinced him that from 20
to 80 per cent of the space now oc-
cupied by Government agencies in
Washington is taken up with obsolete
but valuable documents which could
be stored in an independent ware
house
The Navy Department and the Ma
rine Corps, Cochran pointed out, have
the records of all men who served in
these organizations. In addition, he
declared, the General Land Office has
a record of all public lands that were
disposed of years ago.
Cochran said he thought the ware
house should be located in Southwest
Washington near new Agricultural Ex-
tension Building.
A plain. f1reproof structure of about
IL stories. Cochran explained, should
be large enough.

SEEN
TO APEX BUILDING
TreaSury-Post Office Appro'
priation Bill Reported
to House.

Direct legislative prohibition against
erection of the proposed Apex Build
ing" in front of the new Archives
Building, for the Coast Guard or
some other Government activity" is
found in the Treasury-Post Office ap-
preparation bill reported to the House
today. The site is at the juncture
of Pennsylvania and Constitution
avenues east of Ninth street.
1t was. however, emphasized during
the hearings before the Appropria-
tions Subcommittee. of which Repre-
sentative Arnold of Illinois is chair
man. that the Public Buildings Com
mission feels it is imperative that
eventually a building be erected on
that site. in spite of special legisla-
ton passed by the last Congress
designating that site for a Thomas
Jefferson memorial.
Prohibition Explained.
L. C. Martin, administrative as
sistant in the Division of Procure
ment. explained that the legislative
prohibition was placed in the bill in
1882 when it was intended not to
authorize any additional public build
ingS in the District. and to defer con-
struction on that particular site
Rear Admiral Christian J. Peoples,
in charge of the Procurement Divi-
SIGN, outlined the situation as follows:
Congress passed a joint resolution
at the last session of the Congress
to build on the Apex Building site.
or the triangular plot TO the east
thereof, Thomas Jefferson memorial
and provided for the appointment of
a commission of 10 or IL members;
and it looked to me that we were
without special authority of the Con-
greSs.
No Members Named.
THE bill to erect that memorial was
passed in the closing days of the last
session of Congress. I made inquiry
of the Office of the Speaker of the
House and Of the Office Of the Presi-
dent of the Senate and was informed
that no action had been taken with
respect to appointing members of the
commission.
Il think, ultimately, if that triangle
group is going to be finished. that
some kind of building should 60 in

Radio Waves Found to Reflect
Impulses From Many Surfaces

The ultra short waves were first
made famous by Marconi. They travel
like light and at first were not sup
posed to bend around buildings or the
curvature of the earth
The Boston experiments strengthen
a growing belief that they have powers
of reflection that may make them very
useful. In Boston seemingly the little
waves splashed and reflected from all
sorts Of surfaces.
In spots completely hidden from the
sending antenna the waves seemed to
be arriving by reflection from numer-
Gus other directions.
The little waves travelled stronger
in the directions least obstructed by
tall buildings. Over salt water the
rays were unusually bright and strong
After passing the water they lost this
extra strength.

HOLDING COMPANY.
TAX IS PROPOSED.
Roosevelt Fight on Power
Rates May Go Beyond
Mere Regulation.
RY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
The Roosevelt campaign against
power rates it calls excessive" entered
a new phase today with a disclosure
that it is considering special taxes, as
well as regulation, for utility holding
companies.
This became known in authoritative
quarters after the President discussed
possibilities for legislation in a two
hour conference with Secretary Nor
genthau and other aides.
1t was emphasized that nothing is
settled finally. In one quarter, how
ever, it was suggested that the taxes
might be applied to dividend earnings.
Holding companies have been under
fire from several sources in the ad-
ministration and on Capitol Hill
Remedies put forward have ranged
from suggestions that the area over
which they might hold sway be
strictly limited to hints that some of
them might be found to be economic
ally unnecessary.
The Federal Trade Commission was
the latest agency to join in the at
tack. with a statement that State
regulation has proved inadequate.

TroyanOVSky Expected to

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Russian debt problem. which is
bound up with attempts to boost
American sales to the Soviet, returned
to the minds of officialdom today when
it developed that Moscow's answer to
a United States proposal is expected
within week.
Alexander Troyanovsky, Soviet am
bassador who carried the American
offer to Stain. is due back in Wash
ington soon. He is expected to confer
Immediately with Cordell Hull, Secre-
tary Of State, and Walton R. Moore,
Assistant Secretary.
The problem dates back to World
War and postwar days. The sums at
issue include Czarist and KerenSky
borrowings in the United States and
claims of Americans whose property
was destroyed during the revolution
or confiscated by the BolSheviks.
BY the time the United States rec
ognized the Soviet Union the total
had grown to about 100000 900.
President Roosevelt and Maxim Lit
vinoff, commissar for foreign affairs,
agreed. however, that a settlement for
a greatly reduced amount could be
achieved.
Troyanovsky, Hull and Moore were
reported to be making progress until
three months ago when the talks ab-
ruptly adjourned and Troyanovsky
went to Moscow.
At that me-authoritative sources
indicated-the Soviet agreed to pay
the scaled down debt over 20 years
if the United States would advance a
cash loan of 100000 900 and arrange
a credit for a similar amount.

Bureau VIII Add

After February /
Workers on Farm Count
to Be Taken From
Civil SerUice Rolls.

The Census Bureau has begun to
centralize its agriculture census activi-
ties at the old Civil Service Building,
1924 F street, and will begin to re-
cruit a local staff to handle this work
shortly after February /.
In all, about 1900 temporary en-
ployes will be taken on, and all will be
obtained from registers of the Civil
Service Commission. These will in
clude clerks, typists. stenographers,
messengers, card punchers and adding
machine operators. All but the ma
chine work will be done at the F street
building. That will be handled in the
bureau in the Commerce Building.
To direct these 1900 there will be
about IL experts, and these already
have been employed.
The peak employment will be
reached in April or May and it is eSti-
mated the average term of employ
ment will be from seven to nine
months.

taken every five years. was started on

in 226 districts. 1t is expected this
work will be about 80 per cent COM
plete by the end of this month. In
some sections of the country inclement
weather will delay it beyond that date.
Census Bureau officials estimate
about 6,500,0o0 farms must be covered.
At the last census, there were $780,
600. and it is believed a growth of
100000 will be shown. due to the trek
back from city to rural districts as
the result of falling employment in
industry.
This farm census will take in such
items as acreage, value, crop produc-
ton. live stock holding and other rel

There has been a long dispute
among economists as to where Mr..
Morgenthau's S3,00O0O0,00O of book
profit on gold came from.
A majority assumes it comes from
bondholderS and property holders.
That is a rather nebulous explanation,
almost as nebulouS as the idea that
Mr.. Morgenthau just squeezed the
profit out of thin air for bookkeeping
purposes.
A more practical Interpretation
is that every one paid for it. Every
time dollar tUdS spent after de-
Udluation, you contributed to the
gold profit by the ertent to Uhich
your dollar bought less goods than
before deUdludtion. The ertent to
t0hich deUaluation increased prices
is the enact amount you haze con-
tributed so far
If the $4,000, 100000 is taken to pay
the bonus, or spent for any other pur-
pose, you will contribute some more,
to the extent to which the imitation
ary expenditures causes prices to rise
further.
Farley Backs Biddle.
The man who is behind Anthony
Drexel Biddle, wealthy Philadelphian,
for the post of American Minister to
Ireland is Postmaster General Farley.
Behind Farley in the matter is the
new Democratic Governor of Pennsyl-
vania. Earle, who, in turns is in front
of Boss Joe Guffey. That makes as
strong political backing as any one
could get 1t is a direct result of Mr..
Biddle's generosity to the Earle cam
paign fund.
Yet the betting inside the State
Department a few days ago was even
money that Mr.. Biddle would not get
the post. The State Department
dealers do not fall very hard for the
Farley -Guffey push. They are at
least talking as if they would side
track Mr.. Biddle to one of those
smaller European kingdoms.

Il His mimeograph grinds out
numbers as big and round as
chrysanthemums to measure the ac-
complishmentS of his side But they
do not always smell as good as they
look.
A current example is an announce
ment by the Federal Housing Admin
iStration, estimating its home MODERN
ization drive accomplishments at
$205. 100000. That figure gets the
headlines and people generally accept
the fact that the F. H. A. drive

80 Million Advanced.

Only s3o,OOo,OOO was advanced by
banks to home owners under F.. H. A.
insurance. A second $50 100000 of the
total amount was probably advanced
earlier by the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, another New Deal in
Stitution
Nobody knows for sure about that,
because the F. H. A. merely asked its
State directors to send in estimates
Of the total moderization in their
areas. As the H. o. L. c. contributed
$30,000,000 for modernization purposes,
according to its own figures. there can
be little question that the F. H A
estimate includes the results of H. Q.
L. c. loans. But that IS only a sideline
argument.
The main point is that s175,-

at least S145, 100000 UdS not done

privately financed lpork done during
the Government driue. Much OF it,
of course, is 1Uork that ,Oould hare
been done lUhether there tCdS q
Government driUe or not.
Yet in the last analysis you cannot
blame the publicity man for claiming
all loose credit. 1t has been a custom
among Government officials and
others outside the Government long
before the press agent was invented.
Gold Decision Awaited.
The New Deal lawyers who have

during the past two weeks are ready
now for any decision from the

ing to help the court to make the
decision If the court needed any help.
One of the most interesting
things they haze dug up is a con-
Utncing historical ercuse for New
Deal deUdludtion.
In the fourteenth, fifteenth, six
teenth, and right up to the nineteenth
century, it was the legal custom for
kings to call in outstanding gold coins
whenever the treasury ran low, and
clip them. That is, they would ac-
tually cut out of the gold a frac-
tional part, as much as one-fifth in
many cases. The coins we're then
returned to the people minus fifth
of their value. The king took the
clippings.
