Prof. Wesley states his belief that
when James Smithson, the English
man, left his fortune to the cause Of
promoting education In the United
States, he had In mind establish
ment of a great national university.
At that time, 1929, doubts as to the
constitutionality of establishing such
an educational institution were voiced,
and, indeed, the constitutional issue
has been raised repeatedly by oppo-
nents Of the national university idea.
Before beginning his present study.
therefore, DR.. Wesley made inquiry
from constitutional authorities on that
point and declared himself satisfied
that there is little likelihood of the
constitutional issue being raised today.

be in the hands Of Congress. delegated
to a board Of IS regents. according to
the present proposal. Ten of these
would be appointed by the President,
five from the people at large and five
from among the experts in Govern
ment bureaus at Washington. The re-
naming five would be elected by the
faculty of the university of the United
States from among its own members,
once q permanent and stable faculty
had been developed. The Wesley book

who advanced the plan in 1887.
Washington urged 1t in his first an
nual address, January 8, 1890, and at
his death left securities worth $25. 900
with which to start an endowment
fund for the university. So far as his
torians have been able to discover,
this gift was never turned over to
the Government and no trace of the
proceeds has been found.
Except for rather long period In
the middle of the nineteenth century,
more or less insistent agitation for
the creation of such a university has
been continuous. DR.. Wesley says
that sin the period from 1872 to
1888 about so bills for the establish
ment of national university have
been introduced in Congress"
No Vote Taken.
That neither house of Congress
ever voted on a measure to create a
university of the United States seems
mystery, in view of the abundant
opportunity for reporting out such a
bill for action. This the present
writer partly explains by saying:
Congress has not opposed; it has
merely waited for the voice of au-
thority that has not yet spoken.
When the people want a national
university Congress will give its official
sanction"

GRANTED
ON NTAXB|LLS

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 18
An extension on the time to pay
Alexandria city taxes was un-
officially granted here last night
as four members of the city
council agreed to extend the time
from the original deadline of
last Saturday until December 3.
This will save hundreds Of tax
payers the five per cent penalty
that is added to delinquent taxes.
This unofficial action is ex-
pected to be confirmed by mem
bers of council when they con-
vene again this Friday night in
city hall. Only four of the nine
members were present at the
meeting here last night, which
made any legislative action i'm
possible due to the lack of a
quorum.
All other matters scheduled
to have been brought before
council last night, including
discussion on the possibility of
the city acquiring the water sup
ply company or forcing the
utility to render better service,
was deferred to the later meet

CONTRACT LET
FOR SCHOOL IN
ARLINGTON

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Nov. 18.-Arlington county's
two-year fight for a new junior
high school was at an end today
with the awarding of contract
of $243, 900 for construction of the
building.
Work on the project, financed
with PWA funds, is expected to
begin before December /, and the
building is expected to be ready
for occupancy next September.
Lowest of eight bids submitted
was that Of T. Calvin Owens, of
Bethesda, Md, whose $243, 900 bid
for a complete building, including
all lighting, plumbing and con-
Struction fixtures was nearly $780,
900 lower than the highest bid sub
mitted. The high bid opened was
that of Philip Lange, Audubon, N.
j., whose bid was $291, 800.
With site costing $4,000 just
off Columbia Pike in the Airing
ton Post Office section of the
county, the new structure will be
of colonial design in brick. The
shape of the building will be that
of the letter H, with the longest
side facing the front, and will be
two stories high.
19-ROOm Building
Besides the 10 regular class
rooms which will be in the build
ing, there will be a gymnasium,
cafeteria, laboratory, workshop
and an auditorium equipped with
a stage.
Raymond Long, State school
architect, who drew the plans for
the building, was present at the
meeting here yesterday and super
vised the opening of bids and
awarding of the contract.
Future plans for project include
an athletic field.
Shortly after the quarter-mil-
lion-dollar bond issue was author
lied by a vote of the people in a
special election, it was decided to
seek Federal assistance, and this
action resulted in the county re-
ceiving a grant Of $101,500 from
the Government. The action, how
ever, brought on another short de-
lay, as it was necessary to read
vertise for bids under Federal
specifications.
100000 Set as Cost
Including the cost of the furni-
ture and other equipment which
must be purchased when the build
ing is completed, the entire project
is estimated to cost approximately
$300,00O.
Although the contract was
awarded with the time for COM
pletiop of the job being set at 325
calendar days, school officials feel
confident that this time will be
reduced sufficiently to have the
building ready next September.

GROUPS
IN NEW FEUD

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Nov. ia spirited contest
is expected to develop at q meet
ing of the Highland Park Citizens
Association tonight when the ques'
ton of whether delegates to the
county civic federation shall be
elected by members of the asso-
citation or appointed by the presi'
dent of the group is definitely de-
cided upon.
A long drawn out fight followed
a sudden change in the rules
which granted the president of the
association the right to appoint
delegates. The original action was
contested and then referred to the
executive committee of the aSSo-
citation for final action.
Commenting on the appointive
method of selecting delegates, Ar.
thur H. Surprise, one of the active
members of the group, said:
"CitiZenS associations are
about the only true demOcracies
left. If neighborS can't elect
their own officers, all of them,
they certainly can't expect to
hold their right to elect political
officers in more important posi-
tiOnS."
The amendment to the associa-
TONS constitution regarding she
delegates also provides for the
election of delegates to coincide
with the fiscal year of the Airing
ton County Civic Federation.
Another subject expected to be
brought up for discussion at the
meeting tonight will be the pro-
posal to incorporate Arlington
county into a city. The meeting
will be held at the home of Mrs.
Louise Strobel, 1898 Sixteenth St.
North.

IckeS Stands Firm
Against AbattOir

Secretary of Interior Harold L..
Ickes, declaring "the idea of an
abattoir in Washington seems dis
graceful" has pledged his Public
Works Administration will do
everything we can" to prevent
Adolf Gobel Company, Inc, from
realizing its plans for a new
slaughter house at Kenilworth
Ave. and Benning Rd. N. E.
The company is engaged in
controversy with the District over
a building permit to replace the
abattoir, which has been operated
on the site for more than quarter
Of a century. The case now is
pending in United States District
Court for the District Of Columbia,
where hearing on a suit by the
company to force issuance Of the
permit yesterday was postponed
two weeks.
Housing Project Near
Secretary Ickes, leading the op-
position to the company plans be-
cause of a PWA plan for a low.
cost housing project half mile from
the slaughter house and additional
plans for park and recreational
Improvements in the Anacostia
sector, said:
"PWA will do everything It
can to stop this abattOir. We
The Washington times., 1936-11-18

were the first to get into the
fight and we intend to stay in it.
"The idea of an abattOir in
Washington seems perfectly dis
graceful to me. We don't want
one here and we will do every
thing we can to prevent it.

washington is a residential
city and the seat of the National
Government. An industry such
as this has absolutely no place
in the city. 1 can't understand
why they should want to come
into the District when there is
plenty of space outside of it,"
There are approximately dozen
large and small abattoirs located
in the city. One is operated virtu,
ally next door to the Gobel plant
by railroad company.
In opposing the Gobe1 project
Secretary IckeS has secured the
aid of President Roosevelt, Fred
eric A. Delano, member of the
Park and Planning Commission
and uncle of the President; Secre
tary of Agriculture Henry Wallace
and the District Commissioners II
Secretary IckeS had not stepped
into the fight. when he did, it is
considered probably that a permit
for the slaughter house would have
been awarded, since the District
had previously given the company
a permit for founadtion work.

ELK HERD CUT
BY DROUGHT

Due to conditions caused by the
drought, destroying much avail
able food, the Government-pro.
tected herd of northern elk in Vel
lowstone National Park will be re-
duced by 1000, it was announced
today by Acting Director A. E.
Demarey of the National Park
Service.
The elk herd, steadily increasing
for the past ten years due to re-
duction of natural enemies such as
wolves and mountain lions. has
found it increasingly hard to pro-
cure food during the winters, Of
ficials pointed out, and the drought
seriously deteriorated the winter
grazing range.
Artificial feeding has been found
too expensive, and despite reduc-
tions of more than 5000 in 1884
and 1900 in 1885, third cut in
the herd will be necessary, over
5000 births of calves having oc-
Cured during the two year period.
In reducing the herd, many will
be killed by hunters in open hunt
ing territory adjoining the north
ern boundary of the park while
large numbers will be shipped to
ZOOS, game preserves, city and
State parks and other public in
stitutions where animals are de-
sired for restocking and exhibition
purposes.
The remainder will be humanely
destroyed by the National Park
Service,

tonight that the cardinal had no
specific commission from the Pope
for seeking out American eligibles

It was added unof1icially, however,
that the papal secretary, lacking any

in no sense foreclosed from making
recommendations as to possible Amer

The Vatican City advices said the
academy would be known as the Pom
tifical Academy of Science and that
its members need not be Catholic,
provided they were not anti-religious.
1t was added the inclusion Of some
Americans was regarded certain.
During the day the cardinal had
