BUILDING RECORD
 ANTICIPATED }! l FOR CURRENT SEASON

WASHINGTON, May 22.--Com- plete reports from all over the coun- try bear out the forecast of Federal Housing Administrator Stewart Mo Donald that at least three times as many dwelling units will be con structed in the United States dur | ing 1886 as in 1885.
 Administrator Mcdonald announc- ed that through the week ending April 25 home mortgages accepted l for insurance numbered 63,l18, with dollar volume of $254 ,365,0 ,064. Commitments to insure mort gages," MT Mcdonald said, have to a certain extent taken the place of building permits as the indicator of actual home building that is to come, since the commitment is of ten issued before the contractor applies for a building permit. The commitment to issue a mortgage starts the hammers and saws going We cannot, of course, insure a mort gage on building that doesn't ex- ist, but when our experts have ex- amined and approved the plans, and specifications for home, we issue commitment to the lending insti- tuition agreeing to insure the mort gage on that structure.
 | The lender, with that commit ment in hand, turns to cash over l to the builder, who immediately starts his men to work. Upon com pletion of the structure. which our experts have inspected at least three | times during the operation, the mortgage is automatically insured. This is the reason for the gap be- ] tween mortgages accepted for in surance and insured premium pay ing mortgages. The gap is con- stantly widened and we hope it will continue to widen, for it is very healthy sign and a real barometer ! to the intelligent business man as to the prospects for actual building in the immediate future. The more commitments we issue to insure mortgages, the brighter the outlook for the building construction and durable goods industries. Briefly, today's commitment is tomorrow's premium paying mortgage.
 Through the same period 94,37l mortgages, with a dollar volume of $367, ,287 ,482, had been selected for appraisal by the Federal Housing Administration. One third of this amount represents new-house con struction, and the remainder rep resents the refinancing of mort

NEUTRALITY LAW
EXTENSION SEEN
Sentiment in Senate In
creases Against Perma.
nent Statute.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A high-ranking Democratic member
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee forecast yesterday that q move
to extend the present neutrality law
would get under way next week after
indications that the White House
might be satisfied with such an ex-
tention as result of increasing op-
permanent neutrality legislation at
this time.
The forecast came after interviews
with committee members had disclosed
a three-way division of sentiment that
foreshadowed long delay in reach
ing any agreement on permanent
legislation.
The present neutrality law, which
expires the end of this month unless
extended. embargoes munitions ex-
ports to warning nations and provides
that Americans travelling on bellig-
erent ships do so at their own risk
The administration bill would make
this law permanent, would permit the
President to limit exports of all com
modities, except food and medical
supplies, to normal levels, and would
prohibit loans to belligerents.
Senator Borah of Idaho, ranking
Republican member Of the Foreign
Relations Committee, reiterated yes
terday his forecast that the ultimate
outcome Of the neutrality controversy
would be extension Of the present law.
He said he had discussed neutrality
briefly at a luncheon yesterday with
President Roosevelt.
Although the House Foreign Affairs
Committee has approved the admin
istration bill, there also were doubts
at that end Of the Capitol about its
progress. Representative Maverick,
Democrat, of Texas, who has CO.
operated with the Senate group seek
ing mandatory legislation, said the
neutrality bill apparently would not
be considered.
The survey of sentiment in the For
eign Relations Committee showed that
10 were In favor of the administration
bill with reservations: eight favored
extending the temporary law, three
wanted mandatory legislation, and two
were undecided.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. su-
A'A perb perturbation Of Charles
Dickens novel "A Tale of Two Cities,
which yesterday started its second
week at the Columbia and its fourth
on F. street. is a film which should be
on everybody's required reading" list.
1t is an excellent example OF what can
be done in Hollywood when a group OF
able players is guided by skilled
director through the pages of story
adaptation which is understanding ana
sympathetic.
The Dickens story is masterpiece,
and this film version of the novel has
been made with such care and feeling
that none of the power of the printed
word has been lost. The characters
and the troublouS times of the French
Revolution through which they live
are brought vividly to life. Director
Jack Conway has done superb job
of shading all the varied moods and
feelings that enter into the tale OF a
man who gave his life on the guillotine
that the woman he loved might have
the man she loved, and has made
of the film true and sincere picture Of
the spirit of the novel.
The M.-G.-M people deserve plenty
of credit for the fidelity with which
they have placed the joy, the suspense,
the grief, the despair. the love and all
the human emotions interviewer in the
tale upon the screen "a Tale of Two
Cities has been cast with an expert
eye, too, with every player, from Ron
aid Colman down to the chaps in the
last row of the French mob which
stormed. the Bastille, fitting into their
roles as if born to them.
Other than Mr.. Colman, whose Sgd
ney Carton is one of the best charac-
ter portrayals of his career, there are

and Donald Woods in outstanding
roles 1t is worth wading through

BURGESS PORTRAIT
IS GIVEN TO BUREAU
Charles Bittinger, Artist, Pre-
sents Work at Special Meeting
of Employees.

A portrait of DR.. George Kimball
Burgess, director Of the National
Bureau of Standards from 1928 to
1882. was presented to the staff of the
bureau yesterday by the artist,
Charles Bittinger of Washington.
The presentation was made at a
special meeting Of the bureau en-
ployes in the east lecture room, at
tended by friends of the late DR..
Burgess. DR.. Lyman J. Briggs. di-
rector, presided.
The welfare OF the bureaus staff
was always a subject of keen interest
to DR.. Burgess and his death, which
occurred suddenly at his Office on
July 2, 1882, was felt as personal
loss by his colleagues. Mr.. Bittinger,
the artist, was one of these, as he
served the bureau many years as
a consulting expert in colorimetry
and related fields. He had an ample
opportunity to observe DR.. Burgess
during the most eventful years OF his
life. He chose this method of paying
lasting tribute to his friend and per-
formed the test with rare skill. The
portrait was received by DR.. Briggs
with the thanks of the entire staff and
will be placed in the directors Office.
At the meeting DR.. H. C. Dickin-
son. chief of the heat and power di-
vision, spoke on the life and work
OF the former director with whom he
was associated for 80 years.
