nicipal government, the bill as report

TO DISCUSS ROAD

Express Opposition to
Highway Closing.

stitute for Military road around

development of the plan are arrang-
ing for a meeting of representatives
OF all civic bodies in the county, to

ing of Military road until substitute

County Manager Roy S. Braden are
to attend tonight's meeting and ex-
plain the position Of the board on

Woodward said today he has taken
up with officials of the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission
the matter of Federal construction Of
a substitute road around the airport.
He explained that such a road will
be a part of any comprehensive plan
of development of approaches to the
National Capital and should be con-
sidered as part of the Federal pro-
gram of development.
Consideration also will be given to
the possible effect of the opening OF a
section of the proposed riverside
drive between the Arlington Memorial
Bridge and Key Bridge, along the
Virginia shore of the Potomac. Bids

DRASTIC ACTION
TO HALT MALADY
Fairfax County Advises
Against Sunday School
Classes.

Authorities in Fairfax County today
took the lead in Northern Virginia in
prescribing drastic action to halt the
infantile paralysis, now rolling up
from the South with list of victims
totaling l9 in the whole State. OFF,
cials in Arlington County and Alex
andria were waiting more definite
signs of danger before adopting SINH
lar tactics.
Sunday schools in Fairfax have been
advised to discontinue classes until
further notice. while in Herndon
Mayor Allen H. Kirk issued a procla-
nation forbidding children under 16
years of age attending public gather
ings or going to motion picture shows.
Mayor Kirk acted upon the advice
of DR.. A. L. Carson, county health
officer, and DR.. William Meyer, town
physician, after paralysis had claimed
one victim yesterday in Herndon.
Dairyman's Wife Stricken.
The victim is Mrs. Freeland G.
Young, SO, wife of a dairyman and
the mother of five children. She is
now under quarantine in a dwelling
on an adjoining farm. She was
stricken yesterday while attending her
household duties.
Immediately after DR.. Carson ad-
vised the Sunday schools to close, an
nouncement was made that the an
nual picnic of the Pohick Sunday
School. scheduled for Saturday, was
Cancelled.
In Lorton the third of.a series Of
tonsil and adenoids clinics, scheduled
to be held at the school Saturday,
was postponed indefinitely.

I. c. Riggin, State health commits
Sioner, declared the paralysis Situa-
ton in Virginia is not alarming and
does not constitute an epidemic, al
though additional cases may be ex-
pected in the next several weeks.
DR.. Riggin expressed the opinion
that serums and vaccines are of little
definite value in the prevention Of the
malady and renewed his warning that
children keep away from crowds of all
kinds.
Carriers of polio are very preva-
lent" DR.. Riggin said in his ad-
dress, particularly during times when
there is an increased number OF
cases of the disease. This explains
why the disease can De caught from
apparently healthy adults as well as
from sick children"

MUNICIPAL CENTER
FUND APPLICATION
REFUSED BY |CKES
Secretary'S Stand Leaves
Little Hope for Early
Action on Project.
SAYS D. c. HAS SHARE
OF BUILDING ACTIVITIES
Also Cites Shortage of Office
Space for Federal Employees
in Washington.

Administrator Ickes all but closed
the door today on the application of
the District Commissioners to start
the long proposed Municipal Center
by borrowing the $3,000,000 in P. w.
A. funds to erect three minor court
buildings in Judiciary Square.
1t was with outspoken reluctance
that the public works administrator
explained he did not see how it
would be possible for him to grant the
application at this time. This state
ment, he implied, did not actually
close the door against the project,
but he added he could offer little
hope of any early action.
Il know the District needs these
court buildings badly" Ickes said,
"and I sincerely wish way could be
found to approve the project, but I
can't just now
States Reasons.
He cited as his reasons the short
age of building space for Federal en-
ployes in Washington, the healthy
condition of the building trades here,
and the need Of reviving building &C
tivities in many other sections.
The question arises" he said, "can
we build any more buildings in Wash
ington just now with justice to our
general program?"
Moreover" he added, the National
Government has not enough otnce
space in Washington for its own en-
ployes."
The Commissioners applied for the
$3,000,000 about two months ago, but
had heard nothing concerning the re-
quest. Congress had amended the
public works act for the District by
authorizing the Commissioners to bor-
row S3,00O,O00 out of the remainder of
the S100O0,0OO limitation placed on
the borrowing capacity of the District
from P. w. A. funds.
The $4,O00,000 allotted for the sew
age disposal plant at Blue Plains and
the 81 100000 obtained for the adult
tuberculosis hospital are the sum total
of obligations incurred under the act.
With the rapid growth of New Deal
bureaus in Washington, adding ap-
proximately 1000 Federal employees a
month in this city alone, the prospect
does not appear hopeful that the Fed
eral Government will catch up on its
building program here during the next
two years
Secretary Ickes admitted today that
the new Interior Department Building,
bids for which will be let this week,
will require Is or Is months to COM
plete with men working double shift.
Huge Rents Continue.
Despite the new Government tri-
angle buildings, Secretary Ickes, who
is in charge of administering Govern
ment Office space in Washington, has
scarcely been able to make dent in
the huge annual rental costs of the
Government.
Municipal Architect Nathan C..
Wyeth said this morning that if
Secretary Ickes would go down to
Police Court and see the overcrowded
conditions there, he would no doubt
make up his mind to provide funds to
build a new building
Housing for Municipal and Juvenile
Courts also was contemplated.

D. c. HEADS OPEN
PROBE Of BUILDING
INSPECTION OFFICE
Investigates Charges That
Officials Countenanced
Code Violations.
PUBLICITY GIVEN STUDY
AROUSES SULTAN'S IRE
Declares Evidence insufficient as
Yet to Determine Whether
= Allegations Are True.

The Commissioners today started an
investigation to determine if there is
any foundation for charges preferred
against the District Building InSpec-
tors Office, alleging a number of vio-
lations Of the building and zoning
code.
One of the more serious charges is
that an unnamed employe of the Of
flee accepted loan" of $50 from a
builder while the Office was consider
ing an application for a permit for a
construction project. 1t is said the
permit was issued and that the latest
information is the loan has not been
repaid
The Commissioners placed the in
veStigation in the hands of Commits
sioner George E. Allen, who will be
assisted by Chester H. Gray, assistant
corporation counsel. A preliminary
investigation, conducted secretly, was
made for Engineer Commissioner Dan
I. Sultan by Elwood Seal, assistant
corporation counsel.
Publication Irked Sultan.
Col. Sultan's ire was aroused today
by premature publication of the study.
| stating there is not yet sufficient evil
dence to determine whether even l or
per cent Of the charges will stand
/ the test of evidence, and that publica-
/ ton of charges served to give the de-
partment black eye" in advance of
proof.
THE matter has not yet been car
ried through far enough to enable the
| Commissioners to take any definite
action, either to dismiss the charges
or to take any other action" Col. Sui
tan said.
Seal, called before the Commission
ers today, said the charges have been
preferred by w. I. Green, president,
and Frederick Kuhl, secretary, Local
/ No. 102, International Union of OPP
Grating Engineers.
Seal said he had conducted his in
quiry in the same manner as a grand
| jury investigation, merely finding that
the charges warranted an investiga-
ton. He added, however, that there
may be some explanation" The
charges dated back two or three years,
he said.
Hotel Case Cited.
One of the charges is that an ap-
plicant for a building permit was
granted a permit without being re-
quired to pay the building permit fee,
in a case in which payment was re-
quired Another allegation is that a
certain hotel was condemned as un-
safe, that the occupant thereafter
broke his lease. and that later the
Board for Condemnation of Unsafe
Buildings ruled the building was safe.
/ Col. John w. Oehmann, building
inspector, said he had not been con-
fronted with any allegation as to
wrong doing in his Office. As to the
condemnation case, he said he pre-
sumed that was one in which he
found building unsafe unless certain
repairs and alterations were made.
Later, he said, there was a change Of
control over the building, and the re-
pairs were made and the condemna-
ton board then ruled the building
safe.
Other charges are to the effect that
the building inspectors Office failed
to insist on compliance with certain
building and coming regulations.
Commissioner Allen said he would
60 into the allegations and that open
hearings would be held.

of New York before deciding whether
to ask the Senate to agree to the
House divorce bill or 60 to conference

measures relating to jury service have
not passed the Senate and must be
considered in the District Committee,
but dates for the meetings are not ex-

The House provided for only three
places in. the District where automo-
biles could be inspected.
Senator King announced today he
would urge an amendment leaving the
Commissioners free to decide on the
number of inspection stations they be-
lieved necessary, to avoid the fossi-
bility of congestion that would cause
delay and Inconvenience.
