$l0.7l4,000 and the Federal Govern
ment has expendef not less than $16,-
100000 in the development Of parks
under the jurisdiction OF the National
Park Service OF the Department Of
Interior Further expenditures are
continually being made to provide for
a comprehensive, systematic and con-
tinuous development of the park,
parkway and playground system Of the
National Capital. The development Of
these parks was begun within tuo
years after the founding OF the Re-
public, with the purchase, In 1791 Of
SAL acres. consisting, among others, Of
the Executive Mansion grounds, La
Fayette Park, the Capitol grounds, the
Mall and Garfield Park. Additions
have been made to these holdings 80
that today the total appraised value
Of land and improvements under the
jurisdiction of the National Park
Service is more than $230,000,0 ,00O."
After outlining the task Congress
assigned to the Park and Planning
Commission to improve and beautify
the city, Ickes continued:
ITO hamstring the commission in
its endeavors, and to impair substan-
TALLY the value of the work which it
has done by permitting great areas Of
the National Capital to be used for
purposes inconsistent with any proper
development Of improvements specifi-
cally mentioned in the act Of April
80. 1926, would be indeed 4 calamity
The expenditures for the park
system are not the only ones to be
considered. Substantial amounts have
been expended for housing through
the Public Works Administration and
the Alley Dwelling Authority. The
District has recently constructed with
funds provided by the Public Works
ADMINISTRATOR sewage disposal
plant at cost of more than $4,0O0,-
600, designed to prevent the pollution
OF the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers.
If abattoirs of great capacity are per-
mitted to operate in the District,
either the benefit Of this plant will be
lost or huge expenditures will have to
be made for its enlargement in order
to take care of the enormous increase
In the discharge of industrial wastes.
The Congress has a duty to the
citizens of Washington in this respect.
Action by the citizens-who in any
other city through their elected rep
resentatives could themselves prevent
the establishment of such industries
is Ineffective unless the Congress sees
fit to provide the proper legal support.
There is no question that the citizens
OF Washington do not want such
industries nor are they needed here,
and national pride should enlist the
support Of all in favor of the beauti-

Cammerer said the parts Of Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Counties,
Nd, subject to coming now prohibit
81 nuisance industries unless the
assent OF the District Council has been
obtained. Similarly, Alexandria re-
quires adoption Of q resolution by the

He also stressed the value Of park
and recreational Developments being
made by the Federal Government in
the northeast.
Attorney Clarke OF the Gobel Co.
asked Nolen II he was aware the
revised plans do not call for enlarge
ment, but for making the improve
ments within the walls Of the plant.
Nolen said he had heard discussion
Of an enlarged output.
Objects to Number Of Animals.
Clarke suggested that would be due
to improved equipment. Nolen re-
piled that there is objection arising
from the number of animals to be
handled at the plant.
Clarke also asked Finnan what use
the property could be put to If the
proposed plans cannot be carried out.
F1nnan suggested 1t could be used IS
q warehouse.
The attorney asked Finnan to ex-
anime a drawing Of the proposed re.
modelling, but the park official re-
piled:
"As a slaughter house I don't think
1t Is an improvement"
Mr.. Neale, official of the stockyards,
entered the discussion with the state
ment the stockyards were established
IN 1877 and that the freight lines
OF two railroads pass through that
vicinity. He wanted to know whether
Government officials had considered
these facts In buying land for i'm
provements in that area. Finnan
said he was an administrative park
official and not member of the
commission handling park scquisi-
tionS.

Of the anticipated capacity Of the pro-
posed remodelled plant.
Finnan Of the Park Service began
his statement as follows:
I'm the immediate vicinity Of the
,, proposed slaughter house and packing
plant to be located at Benning and
Anacostia roads northeast the United
States Government has to date
acquired by purchase, reclaimed and
partially developed 1,45l acres Of park
areas at cost Of exceeding $3,000,-
600. Title to portion OF this area,
the value Of which is approximately
$288, ,85l, has been acquired since 1884.
Extensive development and i'm
provement Of park facilities In the
vicinity OF the proposed slaughter
house and packing plant have been
accomplished during the last few
years. The most important and
expensive work may be seen today at
Fort Dupont Park, q section Of the
fort drive extending from Ridge road
to Pennsylvania avenue southeast,
Fort Mahan and sections F and G Of
Anacostia Park"
After describing these park I'M
provements in greater detail, F1nnan
added:
I'm conclusion we wish to advise
this committee that park officials are
thoroughly convinced that the opera
tion Of slaughter house and packing
plant Of a capacity indicated by the
plans, the holding Of cattle, hogs and
sheep in pens and stock yards to await
slaughter, the noises resulting from
the switching of cattle cars and the
frightened animals, the odors emanat-
ing from these cars and pens, the very
Objectionable problem Of flies, the
transportation of animals by truck
through city streets in close proxim-
ity to parks, additional pollution OF
the Anacostia either directly or indi-
rectly by this industry, and for other
reasons, will be detrimental to the
present holdings of the Government
in this locality, and will make it inad-
visable to proceed with the investment
OF funds for the development Of Gov-
ernment areas In accordance with pro-
posed plans"
What Other Areas Are Doing.
The steps nearby counties of Mary
land and Virginia have taken to pro-
tect their communities from certain

statement from Arno B. Cammerer,
executive officer Of the National Cap

merer wrote, regards the bill as desir-
able because ut will furnish a more

FEDERAL WORKERS
FIGHT TO HOLD Jobs
Emergency Employees Start
Campaign for Civil
Service Status.

Backed by members of Congress and
Democratic clubs in a number Of
States and the District of Columbia,
the thousands Of emergency workers
here are launching a militant cam
paign to hold their Jobs and get civil
service status.
Adopting the unusual procedure of
distributing prepared statements to
desk-bound associates this morning,
the newly-formed Association of Nom
Classified Federal Employees called
for recruits and announced meet
ing at the Willard Hotel. at 8 pm.
tomorrow, at which several members
Of the House will speak.
The association, which is charging
81 dues for six months, seeks to have
the employees brought under civil
service either by nom competitive ex-
aminations or through competitive
tests which would give preference in
employment to those persons already
in the Government.
It's membership is drawn both from
old line and New Deal groups, and
two prominent District Democrats
not Government workers-appear in
the list of officers. Arthur Clarendon
Smith is chairman of the Advisory
Committee and Malcolm S. McConihe,
Democratic national committeeman
for the District, chairman Of the
board of directors Thomas Calhoun
Ramsey is the president.
In setting forth the aims Of the
association. the statements, which
were distributed on the street, say:
"Of course, you understand that
this cannot be done through the
efforts Of a few individuals, it must
be done by concerted effort of all
emergency employees. And this is
the purpose of the organization, to
enroll all emergency employees into
one body.
I'VE further propose to see that
legislation is enacted so that all en-
ployes are retained in their present
positions, and that where qualified
workers have been dismissed that their
names be placed on the w. P. A.
register. and that any requirements
IN any other governmental department
should be made from this register,
before any new and untried civilian
employees are added to the govern
mental departments.
This movement has already had
the Endorsement of the Democratic
Clubs of California, Ohio District Of
Columbia, New York, Kentucky, Okla
homa, Nebraska, South Carolina,
South Dakota and many prominent
individuals, including United States
Senators, congressman and National
Committeeman.
"This Is your fight. 30 join with
those emergency employees who have
pioneered this move to insure your
tob."

bel, Inc, at the corner Of Anacostia
and Benning Roads, that company
now proposes to alter, remodel and
enlarge = building for the purpose Of
operating an abattoir, slaughter house,
rendering plant and stockyards. The
dobel tract, located in q natural hol-
low, Is approximately so feet below the
level OF and about l mile from the
Langston Terrace project; it Is about
so feet below the level Of and ap-
proximately one-quarter Of . mile
1rom the Anacostia housing site. At
tho time the Federal Government ac-
quired the land for these two prof.
ects, the Gobel plant was not only
not operating, but due to q IRE, was
not operatable.
Il do not believe it Is necessary for
me to dwell at length on the objec-
tionable features which are attendant
upon the operation Of a plant such as
that contemplated by the Gobel Co.
need only point out that 1t is an
1ncongruous-an almost unbelievable
situation-that almost side by side
there may exist on the one hand
projects financed by the Federal
Government, intended to provide de-
cent living conditions for the city's
underprivileged, and on the other hand
an industry whose operations will re-
suit in offensive smells which, be-
cause Of prevailing winds, will be
inimical to the health Of the neigh
boring residents"
In response to questions, Ickes and
Gray both contended it Is not neces-
sary to locate within the borders of
the District the plants to supply the
needs Of the city.
Commissioner Sultan read a letter
from the Board Of Commissioners SUD-
porting the bill, with the proposed
amendments. He said the constitu-
tionality Of the measure had been
carefully considered, and filed men,
orandum from Seal supporting its
constitutionality.
In response to questions by McCar-
ran as to past industrial activity at
Benning, Sultan said the Gobel plant
has not operated since he came to the
District service, between two and three
years ago, and that he was not famil-
lar with its operation prior to that.
Sultan told the subcommittee he
understood the nearby Union Stock
yards are being operated as shipping
and receiving point, but that slaugh-
tering Is not done there.
Statistics on Operation Given.
Frederick H. Walton, an animal
expert Of the Bureau OF Indian
Affairs. gave the subcommittee sta
tistics on the extent OF abattoir opera
tions at Benning prior to 1893, and

fication and development Of the
Capital.
National Pride Involved.
National pride alone has been
effective to great extent in the past
to keep out undesirable industries !
believe that some Of the industries
mentioned in the bill have considered
locating In the District and voluntar-
lily have gone elsewhere solely because
they felt that the National Capital
should not be sullied through the erec-
tton AID operation of these noisome
plants. Consequently. there are at
present but few Of such undesirable
industries in the District and all of
them are strictly local plants devoted
entirely to the immediate needs Of the
people Of the District and could COM
ply with the requirements Of the bill
IN so far as securing . permit is con-
cerned. 1t appears, however, that
national pride Is insufficient. strenu-
GUS efforts are now being made to
locate an abattoir within the District,
with capacity many times the capac-
lty OF any similar structures now In
the District. The proposed abattoir
Is to be located in the center Of large
park development; 1t is practically
adjacent to Fort Mahan Park, in
which extensive facilities for picnick-
Ing and games are now being pro-
vided. The National Arboretum Is
within l mile; q great stadium (for
which plans are virtually completely
Is proposed to be erected within less
than q mile. This abattoir is to be
so close to two housing developments
of the Government that they will
undoubtedly be affected by the unde-
sirable odors and other disagreeable
conditions resulting therefrom. To
permit this Is unthinkable.
"The prompt passage of the bill
would seem to be essential If the Gov-
eminent is to prevent the establish
ment within the confines OF the Dis
trlct OF center for such undesirable
industries. II the establishment OF a
single industry Of large capacity is
permitted, such industry will, in all
Likelihood, attract number Of SUBJ
sld1ary industries and gradually FIX
the character Of an entire section of
the District as one for the carrying
on OF Industries Of class utterly
unsuitable to, and inconsistent with,
the development Of the District as 4
National Capital.
For the foregoing and many other
considerations which are apparent to
all, I strongly urge favorable action
by the Congress ON the bill"
Gray stressed the effect OF an abat-
toir at Benning on the Governments
