Topping the speculative inter-
est is the race for governor. The

Tentative Program From
All Indications Will Re-
quire Great DeIibera-
ton By Solons
By HERBERT PLUMMER
(By Associated PreSs1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Amid
the wishful predictions of many
politicians for a short session of
congress and an early adjourn
ment to the campaign fields, the
two highest ranking house Off
crrs have dropped utterances ap-
preaching cold encouragement.
1t is customary, even tradition
al, for the leaders to say pleas
antly that they expect everybody
to be able to go home early, even
If they cannot say it with real
hope. But this time, precedent
takes a setback from Speaker
Byrns himself and from his right
hand man, the Democratic leader,
Bankhead of Alabama.
What these two men say on the
question of adjournment is most
authoritative, as they will go a
long way toward outlining the
houses entire program. Thus, it
must have given a chill to the
optimistic when Bankhead frankly
held off from forecasting q short
session, made it known that his
prediction was for something just
about the opposite, and Speaker
Byrns disclaimed any intention o.:
applying the "gsaR lule to house
deliberations.
Neutrality Question
Aside from the prospect OF long
debate that would accompany an
entirely free house there is a
problem lying comparatively quiet
ly below a mass Of domestic leg
islation that may prove a real and
heavy obstacle to a quick session.
That is the question of neutrality.
Its potentialities for long con-
troversy apparently have been
overlooked in some quarters; but
some observers believe major
storm may be gathering over it.
1t was only at considerable la
Dor that the leadership was able
last congress, in an atmosphere
of intense WEAKNESS among the
members to stave off a much
more rigid "hands-off" policy
than was finally adopted in the
temporary measure then enacted
and expiring in February.
Explosive Qualities
The almost universal desire of
members to get home last sum-
mer undoubtedly figured to some
extent in behalf of the admin
istration view. But now leader
in the defeated faction has served
notice that the fight will be re-
newed with more vigOr this SEES
session.
Curiously. it is approached by
this congress just a short time
after the anniversary-December
2S-of the birth of Woodrow Will
son, whose face was etched deeply
with grief and worry over that
same problem of neutrality 20
years ago.

ARRESTED
IN ROBBERY

While Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation agents were engaged to-
day in a widespread search for
William Nelson Beck, Washing
tonian indicted with two others
in connection with the recent rob
berry of a groceryman here, three
detectives of the Metropolitan Po-
lice arrested him.
Beck, who also is wanted for
questioning in connection with
series of holdups in which couples
were bound and gagged in nearby
Virginia and Rock Creek Park,
was taken into custody near his
home in the Southwest section by
Detectives w. V. Christian, Robert
Barrett and E. E. Thompson.
Named with Beck in the in
dictment, returned by Grand
Jury last Wednesday, are Jack
Joseph Kurz and Paul Berger.
All are under police suspicion of
being implicated in the holdup
of Michael Armaly, proprietor of
market at 1909 T st. N. w.,
last week. The loot was 1852,
Armaly reported.
Department of Justice agents
were brought into the hunt for
the trio when local police an
nounced they were wanted for
questioning in the case of two
Virginia couples who were kid
mapped from a car on Mt. Yer
non Boulevard, and also in the
cases of North Carolina holdup,
the kidnapping of a sentry at FIT.
Myer and the holdup of a Wash
ington couple in Rock Creek
Park.
The interstate nature of the
operations, since each crime is
said to have been committed by
a trio of men, led Omen into
the search.

D. {. BUILDING
NOW FOURTH
mall i. 5.
National Gain Is 35
Pct. Over October
Last Year

With 789 permits issued for
buildings costing $3,605, 1856, Wash
ington stood in fourth place
among the cities of the nation
as regards building construction
during the month of October,
Secretary Of Labor Perkins re-
ported today.
Among the permits issued here,
she added, were proposed con-
struction of apartment houses
to cost over 100000.
Second in October
In October building activities,
the Capital was exceeded only
by New York city, with S16,311,-
Ill; Los Angeles, with $7,987-
1853, and Detroit, with $4,230,-
165, the Perkins report pointed
out.
On the basis of the number
of permits issued, however, sew
eral other cities led Washington.
They were Baltimore, where 846
permits were issued for 5000, 100
worth of construction; Long
Beach, Calf, with 908 permits
for buildings worth $713,050, and
Philadelphia, with 871 permits
for $2,068,037 worth of buildings.
Secretary Perkins estimated the
October gain over September at
more than 4 per cent in value. AS
compared with october, 1885, she
said, the gain was Sc per cent in
residential buildings, II per cent
in non-residential buildings, and
% per cent for additional altera-
tions and repairs. The value Of all
buildings under October permits
showed a gain of IS per cent over
October, 1885, she added.
Sixty Per Cent Gain
In cities Of over 10000 popula-
ton, the permits issued in the first
10 months Of this year were for
buildings valued at Lis million
dollars, a gain of 81 per cent over
the first 10 months of 1885, the
Secretary stated. This represented
a gain of 119 per cent in residential
building, A per cent in non-resi-
Dental building and 80 per cent
for other catagorieS.

ENVOY DAVIES
TELLS PLANS

Peace, reciprocity and economic
liberalism were cited today by
Joseph E. Davies, Americas newly
appointed ambassador to Russia as
the pillars on which American
policy rests in its relations with
other countries.
He made it clear that he is in
complete sympathy with the recip-
rocal tariff policy of Secretary
of State Cordell Hull, and believes
that the liberal flavor of the
Roosevelt policies and the Presi-
dents emphasis on peace, as eX-
pressed in the philosophy Of the
good neighbor," offer a substan-
tial hope of increasingly friendly
relations with Russia as well as
other nations.
His views were expounded in
formally in his Washington law
office, as he paused in the midst
of preparations for his departure
for Moscow to discuss his own
views as to his new assignment.
To the new ambassador the
Moscow post affords less of an
opportunity for personal achieve
ment than for national achieve
ment. To him Secretary Hull is
"boss." He will regard himself es-
Sentially as a channel of communi-
cation and as the agent of the
Roosevelt administration in trans
lating American policy as deter
mined in Washington for the bene-
fit of the heads of the Soviet
government.

HAzEN PLAN
SALE TO AID
CENTER
Would Deal With u. S.
To Boost Fund for
Local Buildings

Aiming at realization of the
long contemplated municipal CEN
ter, Commissioner Melvin C.
Hazen announced today he has
had a bill prepared to be intro
duced at the coming session of
Congress calling for the sale of
the District Building and two
squares of property in the pro
posed municipal center site to
the Federal Government.
Proceeds realized from the sale
which Commissioner Hazen esti-
mates will be between 100000
and $10,000,000 will be used as
"the financial corner stone" for
the new headquarters of munich
pal government activities.
Prepared in the office Of Dis
trict Surveyor Edward A. Dent,
the bill provides for the sale Of
the District Building and the two
squares bounded by Sixth and
Third Streets, C Street, PennSyl-
vania and Constitution Avenues
Northwest. The municipal center
then would be built on the other
two squares between Sixth and
Third Streets and C and D Streets,
and Indiana Avenue Northwest.
Fixing of Value
Value of the property, according
to provisions of the bill, is to be
determined by a committee COM
posed of the District Tax Assessor,
the Architect of the Capitol and a
real estate operator to be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners.
Commissioner Hazen estimated
that the District Building would
bring 100000 and the two
squares of land on the lower ave
nue. between 100000 and S.
900, 900.
The move put a "crimp" into
plans of the District National
Guard to have an armory con-
Structed on one Of the lower Ave
nue. squares. Acting on a half
hearted approval by Commits
sioner Hazen, militia officials
had a Dill prepared winch was
submitted to Commissioner Hazen
called for the new armory'S con-
Struction.
Camp Site Urged
Commissioner Hazen said he
now believed that the militia
could best realize its need for
headquarters by building on its
land at the Camp Simms rifle
range site in Congress Heights.
He pointed out that the land
there affords not only a chance
for a militia headquarters, but
also a golf course, riding acad-
envy, swimming pool and other
recreational facilities.
Corporation Counsel ElWood H.
Seal has been instructed by Com
missioner Hazen to call a public
meeting early next month to map
out the District governments leg
islative program for the coming
year.
