NEW S15,0DO,0()D
WARDEPARTMENT
BUILDING ASKED
President Recommends
Fund for Structure Between
18th and 22d Streets.

Construction of long-awaited new
building for the War Department, on
three squares between e and F, Nine
teenth and Twenty-second streets, d.
rectly west of the present Interior
Department Building, was recon-
mended to Congress today by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his budget message.
Appropriation of SIS. 600, 900 was pro-
posed with an estimate that s2,500. 900
of it could be spent within the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1887.
This recommendation for new War
Department building indicates the prof.
ect for a Navy Department building.
once linked with the other in sort of
combined national defense center. has
been postponed for future considera-
ton. Secretary of the Navy Swanson
was represented today as being more
interested at present in putting ap-
preparations into ships than into a
new building for the department.
Total Cost Not Indicated.
Total cost of the new War Depart
ment was not specifically indicated,
although it was believed structure
to cover the three squares directly west
of the Interior Department would cost
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$15,OOO,000
Should the estimate recommended
by the President today be appropri-
ated. the public works branch of the
Treasury Department would be ready
to proceed Immediately with plans for
the new building. The appropria-
tion is recommended in the Treasury
budget for l937.>
While detailed plans for the new
War Department Building remain to
be worked out. and the design has not
as yet been determined. 1t is known
that the War Department itself would
like to have stone structure of eight
stories in height. of the general archi-
lecture of the adjacent Interior De-
partment Building
New Building Urgent.
The War Department needs a new
building to afford about 1000 900
square feet, exclusive of courts, ele-
vators and other service requirements.
1t would like to have parking space
in the basement for about TOO cars.
Need fof a new War Department
has been apparent for years, but is
acute now for the reason, it was ex-
planned, that the departmental work
now is scattered throughout 19 build
1ngs not only in Washington, but in
nearby Virginia.
The budget also carries further
estimates for other projects already
under way here in washington. For

Sum for Capital
Is $4,377,OOO Less
Than Requested.
PRESSING NEEDS
ARE SACRIFICED
1887 Figure Is $685..
385 Over Amount Set
Aside for 1886.
BY JAMES e. CHINN.

Ruthlessly slashed by the Budget
Bureau, the Districts appropriation
estimates for the 1887 fiscal year
totaling $43,l00,000, we're transmitted
to Congress today by President Roose-
welt.
The figure represents reduction oi
$4,377 ,160 under the amount requested
by the Commissioners. 1t is, however
$878,385 greater than the appropria-
tion for the current fiscal year.
AS anticipated, the Budget Bureau
at the sacrifice of many urgently
, needed public Improvements, denied
the plea of the Commissioners for q
Federal payment Of $8,317,50 toward
the expenses of the District. Again
the bureau fixed the Government:
share at $500. 900, although sub
stantive law stipulates its participa.
ton should be at the ratio of 40 per
cent Of the total cost of operation and
maintenance.
Projects Cast Aside.
An analysis of the approved esti-
mates reveals that more than a score
of important projects recommended by
the Commissioners-chiefly In the
public school system, where overcrowd-
ing is serious-were cast aside at the
Budget Bureau. Even an emergency
relief item was cut nearly $3.50, ,000
below the inadequate $4,000. 900 ap-
preparation of the present fiscal year
in the face of continued fears Of hard
ship for about 10000 persons still de-
pendent on the municipal government
for the bare necessities Of life.
The reduction in the relief item,
the bureau explained. will be Offset by
proposals of separate appropriations
for the care of the needy aged and
blind under the new social security
law. For old age care s289, 800 was
recommended, and for the needy blind
$4,000.
The few improvements the Budget
Bureau did allow were regarded as
vital necessities. Among them are ad-
ditions to seven schools, new branch
library in Petworth, and a vocational
school for girls to replace the old
Dennison School.
These constitute virtually the only
major construction projects provided
in the estimates. The others. minor
in character, are designed chiefly to
aid the Water and Sewer Departments
In maintaining uninterrupted service.
Police and Schools Suffer.
Altogether, the budget will do little
more than keep the District on a sub
sistence basis in the coming year.
True. few increases have been spread
over various departments to meet dire
exigences. but in most instances, they
are for personnel additions.
The Police Department and the
public schools received the most seri-
Gus blow The school estimates were
chopped $1,892. 900 under the total
recommended by the Commissioners,
and the Police Department was allowed
about $400 900 less than Supt. Ernest
w. Brown wanted to modernize his
equipment and strengthen the force

AUTOMATIC BANS
FACING DR|VERSO ON
SPEED CONVICTION
Sliding Scale Penalties Or
dered by Board in War
on Deaths.

Automatic revocation or suspension
Of the permits Of drivers convicted OF
speeding was ordered today by the
Board OF Revocation and Suspension
Of Operators Permits in a new effort
to reduce the number of trafIic fatali-
ties in the District.
The order. issued by M. o. Eldridge
board chairman, and approved by
Traffic Director william A. Van Duzer
provides schedule of penalties in
creasing with each offehse.
Eldridge said the schedule will GO
into effect within a week or 10 days
The schedule provides for the first
offense where the conviction involves
speed Of between 80 and 40 miles
an hour, Is days suspension: 40 to
so miles an hour 80 days suspension;
more than so miles an hour, revoca-
ton.
Suspense Scale Minimum.
For the second offense within a year
for conviction involving 30 to 40 miles
an hour, 80 days suspension; 40 to
so miles an hour, IS days suspension
For the third of1ense Within year. the
suspension will be from three to six
months or more.
These suspensions, Eldridge ex-
planned. are minimums. and will not
change the policy of the board in re-
voking or suspending permits for otner
reasons. which may be grounds for
suspension or revocation. Suspensions
for longer periods will follow convic-
tions for offenses occurring at night on
streets congested with traffic or when
other circumstances warrant longer
suspension.
During the past year there have
been 9,642 accidents in the District,
resulting in 113 fatilities and 4,389
personal injuries" Eldridge said.
"A study has shown that speed Is
the cause Of approximately l accident
in and contributing factor in 8
out of 10 accidents.
Excessive speed when overtaking
and passing at intersections, on curves
and hills, or on narrow streets and
Ioadways. or where there is poor visi-
bility at night or in stormy weather
is responsible for the great majority
of traffic accidents. It Is hoped that
the new policy will reduce accidents
and resulting fatalities to a marked
degree"
Power in Traffic Act.
The amended District traffic act
confers power on the Commissioners
or their agents to carry out such a
policy, it was explained by Edward w.
Thomas, assistant corporation coun-
sci. He cited q clause of the act
which states:
"The Commissioners or their cesig-
mated agents may, with or without
prior hearing, revoke or suspend an
operators permit for any cause which
they or their agents may deem suffi-
cient."
This section requires that the
clause OF revocation or suspension be
in the order, that the affected party
shall have five days in which he may
appear before the Commissioners for
review, that this would stop the
effect of the order pending a review
by the Commissioners except in cases
where the charge was mental or
physical incapacity, driving under the
influence of liquor or drugs, man.
slaughter or using a smokescreen.
