SIMMONS TRACT

Sharp contest over two-story fats
and apartments was raised today be-
fore the District Zoning Commission
over proposals for variety Of changes
in the classification Of the Simmons
tract. along the line Of North Capitol
street near the District line.
Repeated clashes occurred between
spokesmen for civic groups and
Berkeley Simmons. owner, and his
attorney, Frank O'Connor. Protests
that possible future erection of fats
or apartments would damage values
of nearby properties were voiced by
George Corbin and T. w. Buckley.

we'll as agents Of the property.
The situation was discussed yester-
day anent the petition for granting
a commercial zoning to the rear por-
ton of properties on the east side
of Twentieth street between r and s
streets.
Determined members Of the Dupont
Circle area were on hand to protest
the change to commercial zoning
which was requested for the tea room
operators by H. Rozier Dulany. jr.
Dulany said the petitioners had no
thought of building new commercial
development, but sought way to
permit service of cocktails in the rear
lawn when weather permitted.
Brilliant Idea Won't Work.
"How about ths?" said Engineer
Commissioner Dan I. Sultan. How
about granting a variance from the
zoning regulations which would per-
nit that, but not make change In
the zoning?"
Dulany said that would suit the tea
room needs and members OF the
Dupont Circle Citizens Association
nodded assent.
But Capt. Hugh P. Dram, executive
officer Of the commission, shook his
head. You can't do that" he said.
That's all right as to zoning. but not
as to the liquor law. The liquor law
Is too tight. 1t forbids sale of bev-
erages on residential territory"
But this wouldn't be residential.

LIMITED LIBRARY
SERVICE DEPL0RED
Dr.. BoWerman Says More
Funds, Bigger Staff and
New Branches Needed.

The public library situation in the
District is desperate, and added funos
are necessary. Dr. George F. Bower
man, public librarian, told members
of the Friendship Citizens Association
last night.
The greatest need is for larger
staff and larger book fund. he said.
Circulation has increased nearly one
third in the psf several years, yet
there has been practically no addi-
ton to the staff, while the book fund
actually has been decreased.
Much of the increased circulation
was credited to the depression. DR..
Bowerman cited times when the GEN.
tral library was so crowded "it looked
like a mass meeting was being held
in the lobby, and the reading room
facilities were so taxed that no chairs
we're available" At times the over
now has been so great that high
school and college students had to &c
to the Congressional Library, where
in turn the number of chairs allotted
to them had to be curtailed to KEEP
from displacing other scholars.
More branches and agencies are
needed. DR.. Bowerman said. Those
available at present are so few and
so located they can serve only Sc
per cent of the residences in the
District. He cited several branches
which need replacing, among them
the Friendship branch in the old
eighth police precinct and the Conduit
road branch in an abandoned school
building ready to collapse"
A need even more pressing than that
OF branch agencies. however. Is q
more adequate central library, DR.
Bowerman stated. The staff has
become so crowded there that offices
are located on stairways. and part
Of the administrative offices have beer
moved to another and less convenient
location. I'VE cannot do the work
in a building which was designed
for a city Of 100000 but which now
serves twice that number"
Following DR.. Bowermans speech
the association passed a resolution
asking that Congress provide adequate
funds in the 1888 appropriation bill
This resolution alsi requested that
money be provided to replace the
present Friendship branch.

Detectives said that through the

Another angle that battles in

party Keene had gone to Norfolk
to see to come forward and offer
assistance.
Charles Keene, jr., former Navy
officer and son of the missing

gone to Norfolk on a deal involv-

20 Guests Invited
To Edwards Wedding
BY DAVID P. SENTNER

LONDON. May 10 G.N.S).
About 20 guests will make the trip
from England to the Chateau de
Cande in Fance to attend the we'd
ding of the Duke Of Windsor and
Mrs. Wallis Warfield June 3, Dud-
ley Forwood, the dukes equerry,
told international News Service to-
day. He said:
"All will be personal friends
Of the couple. They will attend
the wedding merely as friends,
not in any official capacity"
Forwood declined to reveal the
names of those who will attend the
wedding, but it is believed the
guests will include the names of
Lord and Lady Brownlow-old
friends of the duke-Piers Leigh,
equerry to the former Prince of
Wales since 1919; Walter T.
Monckton, the dukes attorney gen.
eral: Sir Godfrey Thomas, former
private secretary to the duke; Ma.
jor Ulick Alexander, E. D. Macalfe
and w. C. D. Greenacre.
All of these. both as friends
and in official capacities, we're
closely associated with the duke
while he was Britain's most
popular figure.
All have visited the duke since
be left England, and it is be.
lieved Forwood personally de-
1ivered the invitations to the
wedding to them.
Meanwhile, Ann Martha. well
known British astrologer writing
in the London Daily Mirror, cast
q shadow over the wedding plans
by stating June 3 is a bad date"
for the marriage and that the
duke and Mrs. Warfield should
have chosen June 4 for the cere-
mony.
