PARK LAVATORIES
EVOKE CRITICISM
Plan Under Way to Have
Them Placed Underground
Endorsed by Finnan.

A plan is under way, it was learned
yesterday, to have all the public
lavatories in Washingtons park sys-
tenn placed underground. Secretary
Iekes as Public Works Administrator,
will likely be asked to allocate funds
for this work, as soon as. the new
appropriations are made available.
Considered particularly objection,
able-iu. view of the cHrrent reno
vation of Lafayette and Franklin
Farks-is the one situated, in the
former, not far from the White House
and opposite st. Johns Church, one
of the historic structures of the
National Capital,
When in Washington, recently, on
an official inspection trip through
the parks undergoing renovation,
Maj, Gilmore D. Clarke, noted land
scape architect and member OF the
Fine Arts Commission. commented
especially on the structure in Lafayette
Park. He declared that it should be
placed underground In New York
City. where he is consultant to Park
Commissioner Robert Moses and
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, Mai.
Clarke asserted these buildings are
placed inconspicuously in the parks
there. The same system is followed in
other metropolitan centers, park
authorities here asserted. "-'
Maj Clarke said that in New York
City the plan has been to landscape
such structures appropriately and pro-
ide for suitable light and ventilation
One plan has been to designate these
as "overlooks,' so called because from
the tops of them a view of the sur
rounding park is obtained, he declared
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
formed of the movement to have the
structures placed underground, said
yesterday that he is heartily in favor
of the program. He disclosed that
an engineering estimate for placing
these buildings beneath the ground
shows that it would cost SIS 900 so to
construct that in Lafayette Park and
an equal sum to do likewise in Frank
lin Park.
"a facility. of this sort increases the
police problem. said Finnan. Like
wise it attracts a certain element to
the parks which is not wholesome.
THE plans for Lafayette Park did
not contemplate the building in the
present location, but to be under
ground. This construction is very ex-
pensive and the money is not at pres
ent available. The existing structure
is out of keeping with the new plan
for the park, one of the most con-
spicuous in Washington, opposite the
White House.
Illustrating the proposal to have
such structures underground, Finnan
cited the cases Of the triangular park
at Thirteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and. the one in Mount
Vernon Square, where this has been
done.
A utilitarian purpose and proper
landscaping can be achieved, the park
chief declared, SO that the "eyesores"
might be removed from their present
conspicuous spots in washington's
parks. sss~s>t -

RobertDickDOugIasWOr or,
His Spurs in africa
and Alaska.

Turning his back on adventures in
the wilds, Robert Dick Douglas, jr.,
former Boy Scout, is returning to his
home in Greensboro, N. c., to practice
law and plan a career in politics after
his graduation from the Georgetown
Law School tonight.
For eight years young Douglas has
been student at Georgetown Uni
verSity and during this time he has
written three widely-read books on
his adventures in South Africa with
the Martin Johnsons and in Alaska
with Father Bernard Hubbard. S. j.,
the "Glacier Priest" Two of these
books have been translated into sew
eral foreign languages, but their au-
thor says he can read nothing but
the titles of the translations.
Now that his schooling is over, the
young man is planning to enter the
law firm of his father, Robert D.
Douglas. former attorney general of
North Carolina. If opportunity knocks
at his door, he says, he will go ad-
venturing again, but for the next few
years he hopes that If there is to be
any knocking" it will be done by
clients at the door of his law Office.
AS a boy Of about l6, Douglas en-
tered Georgetown College soon after
his return from hunting big game in
Africa. His picture as one Of the
Three Boy Scouts in Africa" was
displayed in all the Washington street
cars.
Later, Father Hubbard took him to
Alaska to explore the craters Of its
highest volcanoes and there he and

NEW YORK, June 6.-When this

out through the ivy-coyered gates to

Big industry'S Ivory hunters" those

A check of the personnel officers Of
some of the largest corporations and

new grads are offering their services
in a sellers market.
Buyers are choosy. They gravitate
toward those who, as students, ranked
in the top third or better Of their
classes. Technically-trained youth
likewise appears to have an edge on
the students of Shakespeare or the

The agency claimed the American

PROTESTS ROCK BRITAIN.

LONDON, June 10 (P.-Embittered
sanctionists sought today to loose
storm of public protest against the
sion of italian sanctions.
Four labor leaders. who called the
cabinets recommendation "the great
betrayal" of the League Of Nations. led
| a movement for a nationwide series
of campaign meetings.
Their plan of opposition, pointing
toward parliamentary censure de-
bate Tuesday. followed the same lines
as the public storm created against
the stillborn Hoare-Laval proposal to
end the Italo-Ethiopian war.
At the head of the parade of pro-
testers was Clement r. Attlee, House
OF Commons labor leader, who has
signifled his intention to ask q vote
Of criticism against Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin's government.
Other sponsors of the week end
campaign were Herbert Stanley Nor
riSon, secretary of the London Labor
party; Hugh Dalton, Labor member,
and Arthur Greenwood, Labor's re-
| search secretary.
They took their cues from the fiery
David Lloyd George, wartime prime
minister who led the attack against
Baldwin and his ministers yesterday
with the ringing pronouncement:
There they sit-the cowards!" As
he pointed scornfully at the minis
| terial benches.
Already National Labor and Ma
tional Liberal members were threaten
ing to break away from the govern
ment over the sanctions issue. Their
warnings handed to their respective
leaderS-Ramsay Macdonald and Sir
John Simon-the delicate task of at
tempting to rally supporters TO q
united front before Tuesday.
A further DETECTION came with an
nouncement from a group Of sane
tionistS conservatives, ordinarily fav-
oring the governments policies, they
had not been converted by the speech
of Anthony Eden, foreign secretary
who disclosed the cabinet decision on
the sanctions question.
