URGE j. s. BUILD
WESTWARD HERE
Fine Arts Board Members
Favor Construction West
of White House.

Construction Of new Government
buildings along Pennsylvania avenue
from the White House to Rock Greek.
was advocated in the twelfth report Of
the Fine Arts Commission, made pub
| lie today.
The report, which already has been
transmitted by President Roosevelt to
Congress and is available to the public
at the Government Printing ONCE
said:
THE legislative group Of buildings
centered on the Capitol Building has
been carried out in a monumental
manner. The executive group, with
the White House as its focus, has
been developed toward the east, along
Pennsylvania avenue even to the Capt.
tol grounds. The development around
Lafayette Square is only begun, and
between the White House and Rock
Creek Parkway, Pennsylvania avenue
is degenerating as the eastern section
of that avenue degenerated until the
Government entered upon the Triangle
development. The immediate neces-
sity for building for the War and
Navy Departments offers the oppor-
tunity now to make symmetrical
development of the executive center
on the same scale of efficiency, dignity
and spaciousness that characterizes
the legislative group. Only so can the
symmetry essential to the compre-
hensive development of the National
Capital be maintained"
Covering the period from July l,
1929, to December 81, 1884, the re-
port was held up until today, because
of lack of funds for printing. Well
illustrated, the report covers develop
ment Of art importance throughout

others, is "in one of those periodic
conditions which follow such up.
heavals as that caused by the World
War" the report declared:
The Commission of Fine Arts con-
ceived 1t to be their province to test
new movements in the light Of ex-
perience of the past and also with an
appreciation of new methods and new
insight. The commission
believes, however, that to place before

washington, Of all cities in
America, stands for permanence.
Whatever goes toward its adornment

according to a prevailing architectural
vogue, the buildings remain as monu-
ments of incompetency. Meantime,
the serene dignity Of the Capitol, the
White House, the Treasury, the old
Patent Office and the little City Hall
find kinship with the Washington
Monument, the Lincoln Memorial. the
Supreme Court Building and all the
other buildings based architecturally

Police Capt. Edwin Hughes their

Police Capt. Edwin Hughes their
plans for the police reserves"
They were among the approximately
800 who volunteered yesterday.
There were professional men,
merchants and clerks, but most Of
them were workers In General Motors
plants.
Barringer told them that "outside
agitators have taken control Of our
streets from our police department.
Men and women are afraid to walk
the streets. Strikers walk about
brandishing clubs. Flint must restore
law and order and regain our reputa-
ton as decent and law-abiding city"
He declared that under no circum-
stances will the reserves be used to
eject the strikers from the plants or
to take sides in any dispute; they
have been organized solely for the
purpose Of preserving law and order"

The term lynch1ng Is generally ap-

Charles Lynch Of Virginia, who seized

them to prison. His act later was le-

remarked, "his presence in the matter
relieved any and all concerned OF
any doubt as to the fairness in which
the matter would be handled and
the justice Of the decision"
With men Of any type, as individ-
uals, Root got along famously, but
for people in the mass he had
Hamiltonian distrust. To Theodore
Roosevelt he was particularly valuable
as a defender and Interpreter among
the leaders Of big business. In 1902
Roosevelt aroused the wrath Of the
captains Of industry by starting pro-
ceedings against the Northern Secur-
tiles Co. under the Sherman anti
trust law. J. p Morgan, James J.
Hill and e. H. Hartman were the
fathers Of this scheme for railroad
consolidation. They felt that Roose-
velt's action was q blow at corporate
enterprise; Roosevelt considered it a
blow at plutocratic tyranny.
The stock market was shaken, and
throughout the country in business
and banking circles went the word
that Roosevelt was not a safe" man.
