Proposed Building Control

A MENDMENT to the Shipstead
= act to give the United States
control over the design and height
of all future structures fronting
on all public parks, circles and
buildings within the District will
be sought in the coming session
Of Congress. The idea, originating
with the Zoning Commission, has
been taken up actively by the
Commission OF Fine Arts and will
be urged on Congress.
During the six years OF the
existence of the Shipstead act.
which operates to control in cer-
tain designated areas. notably in
the Mall. Capitol Grounds and
Pennsylvania avenue, there has
been a very noticeable improve
ment in the design Of the buildings
erected under such restrictions.
This will be another step for the
further Identification Of the Ma
tional Capital. but it will Incl
dentally impose further restrictions
on the owners Of the adjacent pri-
vate property. The indications are
that there will be general civic
organization approval Of the pro-

Over Library Progress.

A PERSISTENT fight has been
= waged by the Petworth Citi-
zens' Association for the erection
OF a branch of the Public Library
TO serve that section. 1t watched
its cherished project gradually
move to the top of the branch
library program. The association
was fortunate In finding q most
eligible site on the District
owned land which had been origi-
nally acquired for the erection OF
the municipal hospital.
Through the joint efforts OF
Petworth. Piney Branch and other
neighboring associations, Congress
was induced to build the hospital
elsewhere. This left q well-located
site upon which has been erected
a fine group of schools, to which
other schools and the branch
library are to be added. In addi-
ton there are large recreation
areas available.
At its December meeting the
financial secretary Of the Petworth
Citizens Association reported q
membership Of ,1se. which Is prob
ably the largest Of all Of the citi-
zens' associations. The approval
of the Fine Arts Commission Of the
plans for the branch library build
ing Is expected to be the means
OF further boosting the member
ship. Funds are available for start
ing the building and q further
appropriation is expected to be
carried in the 1898 budget for COM
pletion Of the structure.

As to Christmas shopping as a
civic problem. 1t really cannot rate
at all with our real civic problems;
1t is the only one upon which free
and reliable professional advice is
always available. Oar stock and
emergency civic problems usually
can only be solved by Congress
in which We are not represented.
Our local and national legisla-
tors cannot always qualify as ex-
perts on such questions and many
of them are entirely too busy doing
political chores. for the folks who
elected them, to bother about these
voteless ones and their troubles.
Not so with the Christmas shopper,
for our merchants are ready with
their corps of expert advisers for
the immediate solution Of every
perplexity incident to the Joy Of

ness in an effort to make illegitimate

Among the drives she said were
legitimate are the D. C. tuberculosis

Variety Of Suggestions for
Jefferson Memorial.

INTEREST has increased in the
proposed s3,0oo,o0o memorial
to Thomas Jefferson to be erected
in the District Of Columbia. Numer-
GUS objections from various sources
raise serious doubts regarding the
proposal to erect an ornamental
memorial at the Tidal Basin. Chief
among these is that encroachment
upon the Tidal Basin will inter-
fere seriously with the proper
flushing Of the Washington cham
mel.
Without this means the channel
would accumulate quantity OF
objectional material which would
continue to back up with each in
coming tide and little or no chance
Of running OF down the river. In
bringing this channel to q dead
end, when the fats were filled In,
the engineers provided the basin
with its inlet and outlet gates to
serve this purely utilitarian pur-
pose. The beautiful body of water
named, but called by no one.
Twining Lake, was only an incident
in the plan.
Other objections to this location
are the difiiculty in getting . foun-
dation, and close proximity TO
other important memorials.
Among the numerous suggestions
for the Tidal Basin memorial are
the following: Great stadium at
end of East Capitol street, munich
pal auditorium of ample size to
take care OF all large gatherings.
rename the Library of Congress
"The Thomas jefferson National
Memorial Library" and the erec-
ton Of . fine high school to per-
petuate in an appropriate way the
original memorial to Jefferson in
the National Capital.
1t is reported that Representa-
tive Sol Bloom would build . great
building to serve all Of the pur-
poses for which Madison Square
Garden in New York Is used.
There is an insistent demand in
some local circles that in nearly
any treatment of the Jefferson
Memorial provision be made for q
home for the District National
Guard.
Many within the civic organiza-
tions regard the much-needed
armory As purely Federal need, as
the Guard is purely and strictly
q national institution entirely be-
yond the control Of the District
government. In this respect 1t Is
entirely different from the National
Guard in the States. where 1t is
under the immediate control Of the
Governor and the laws Of the
State.
A number of those commenting
on the Jefferson Memorial see the
humor Of . situation where Con-
gress Is planning to spend $1,000
900 for q great marble memorial,
but cannot afford to help the Dis
trict to erect q new and much
needed junior high school build
ing to replace an outmoded origi-
nal memorial to the author Of the
Declaration Of Independence and
first president Of the Washington
School Board.

port has had some circulation
to the effect that the Washington
Criminal Justice Association was

promoters coming to Washington.

ton problems have been
running q close second to
Christmas shopping in civic inter-
est during the past week. The
big news Of the week was the filing
Of an appeal in the District Court
late on Wednesday from the one
man car order Of the commission.
The Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations and the Central Labor
Union joined In this case in which
the court was asked to void the
order under which the Capital
Transit is permitted to expand its
one-man car operation.
Several organizations during the
week passed resolutions demanding
a congressional investigation Of the
commission. This appears to be
prompted chiefly because Of the
recent decision OF the company to
abandon the 81 pass and some Of
the usual complaints regarding
service.
The most notable action OF the
District Commissioners was an.
nouncement that they had ap-
pealed to the Bureau of the Budget
to reappropriate $ls5,o0o previ-
ously appropriated for plans and
beginning construction Of the new
Jefferson Junior High School. The
proposal Is to make the unexpended
balance available for completing
the purchase OF the site and be-
ginning construction. Difficulty in
acquiring the entire site required
for this building has been a pro-
longed civic agony to the citizens
Of Southwest Washington.
The Board OF Education granted
q hearing to the editor Of the
Scholastic Magazine, recently taken
of the approved list. The question
at issue now as to this publication
Is not one OF the advocacy or in
doctrination in communism but OF
any sort Of indoctrination. Advo-
cacy Of peace and indoctrination
in opposition to war unless sane
toned by a Nationwide referen-
dunn, in an editorial printed in
1888, is the case in point. This
has put the board between two
vigorous factions It the advocates
OF preparedness and armaments Of
varying degree on the one hand
and the pacifists. likewise Of vary
ing degree, on the other.

Short Course In

Second Session Now On In Juneau; COrdova Is To Have a Class Next
 Year.

The second primary short course in mining in the First Division is underway under the tutelage of How ard G. Wilcox of the eXten- sion division of the Univer- sity of Alaska.
 A short course in mining has been promised Cordova in the winter of 1886, ac- cording to word received here by the Chamber of Commerce from President Charles Bunnell of the Uni Versity of Alaska.
 The instruction has been made possible through a S10,0O0 appropriation by the Territorial legislature at it's last session. The ap- propriation is for the bien- nium and one-half of it will be used in the winter of 19 36-1937.
 Juneau, Wrangell and Pe- terSburg will see the cour- ses offered in those places this year; (1935-36); Cordo va will be the headquarters for the course next winter. Because the course here next year will also benefit miners and prospectors in surrounding sections of Chi tina and Mccarthy, Presi- dent BunnelI wishes to de- termina he most conVen- tent time 10 inaugurate the first lectures at COrdoVa. The Chamber of Commerce will soon make a survey to get the concensus of opin- ion from all interested per sons and so inform the Uni Versity.
 In the meantime it is urg- ed that those who contem- plate taking advantage of the course to write the Chamber of Commerce and express their desires. h. struction will not begin un- til almost a year but the University is anxious to get its extension schedule ar ranged as soon as possible.
 The courses require six weeks and classes usually meet both in the morning and in the evening. No ex- pense is attached, except a small amount-about $2- for materials,

GIRL MYSTERY
IS SOLVED

DETROIT, Jan. IA UN.S0
Capture of an escaped convict
today cleared up the mystery sur
rounding the suicide Of Jean Nor
Der, 10, the Pennsylvania girl who
was saved from a pauper's grave
through sympathetic newspaper
readers after her parents refused
to claim her body.
Dennis Derryberry, 20, who had
been living with the girl, said she
took an overdose of sleeping pow
der after frequently threatening
suicide. He said:
"She wanted to die because
she couldn't see her son."
Parents came from Pennsyl-
vania to identify the body, but
returned home without claiming
it. Her former husband said he
was unable to bury it. Finally q
Flint business man donated a
burial plot and others provided
burial funds.
Derryberry escaped from Michi-
gan Southern Penitentiary in 1884.
He will be returned to serve out
his l5-year term for armed rob
berry.
