Committee Adopts

G.N.s) Waving aside President
Roosevelt's attempted purge Of the
Democratic party. the Senate
Democratic campaign COMMITTEES
today was preparing to support
party nominees regardless Of
whether they are for or against
the New Deal.
Senator Brown Of Michigan,
chairman of the committee, de-
Clared his group would keep
''hands off" primary battles and
work for the election Of party
nominees without attempting TO
set loyalty standards.
Support Clark
However, he left the door
slightly ajar in the case Of New
Deal Senator James w. Pope (D0
idaho, who was defeated for re
nomination by Representative D.
worth Clark, self-styled conservar
tive Democrat. Contending that
Republicans invaded the Demo
cratic primary and voted for
Clark, Pope was still pondering
whether to run as m independent;
I'VE are absolutely out Of The
primaries Brown said. ''Indi.
vidual members may have their
views, but as a committee we
cannot take any part in the
primaries.
"As far aS the Idaho SEN
atorial campaign IS concerned,
unless something fundamentally
wrong In the nomination Of
Clark Is shown, we will support
him for election. Il the Idaho
Democratic state committee
submits evidence against sup
porting Clark, we will con-
slider it,"
SuUitch ''Eran1oral"
In supporting President Roose-
velt's denunciation Of voters who
switch from one party to another
In primary elections. Brown said
1t is immoral" for this to be done
when the purpose is to nominate
Q weak candidate, whom the
switchers think they can defeat
with their own party nominee in
the election.
Some times this switching in
primaries is the only way q
party in the minority can Oh
tain recognition" Brown said.
"In Michigan where we did not
have q noticeable Democratic
party until recent years. there
was a lot Of this switching done"
Brown said he believed his group
will need between $4,000 and
$4,000.

|PWA ALL0TS.
|S1,6OO,OOO FOR
new JAIL HERE
Execution Chamber
To Be Provided

A broad construction program,
which will involve complete re-
construction Of all but one wing
Of the present District Jail and
the addition of several new build
ings, was made possible today by
a PWA ALLEGATION Of $1,6OO.00O.
In addition to the PWA funds
provided today, Congress last
year appropriated $125.O00 for
new building. Ray L. Huff, super
intendent Of penal institutions
said the work would make pos
sible complete correction Of the
present overcrowded and insani,
tary condition of the jail.
Four NeuO Cell Blocks
The PWA provided money to
build and equip four new cell
blocks, two new connecting build
ings and power house, and the
reconstruction Of two existing
wings of the present buildings.
The $125,0OO provided by Con-
gress will be used to build a mod
ern death chamber, ending execu-
tions In the Jail dining hall, and a
new administration building.
Design esnpIeted
Huff said the reconstruction pro
gram in the two existing buildings
would involve complete replace
ment Of cells in the north and
south wings. Only the east wing,
which was reInodeled in 1926, will
remain untouched.
The new cell buildings will be
two stories high. with three tiers
Of cells. The connecting buildings
will be three stories high, and the
powerhouse will have two stories
and basement.
546 NeuO Cells
Huff said tentative plans for
the new buildings call for the con-
struction Of 546 cells. Together
with dormitories in the connect
ing buildings to provide for over
flows, he estimated the jail would
have a capacity Of approximately
1866 prisoners.
The present Jail has a total Of
287 cells, while the greatest num-
ber Of prisoners confined at any
one time was S5S. The average
population last year was 646. Ex-
tensive arc hitectural studies,
which may necessitate changes in
the present plans, are necessary
before work can start, he said.
Other AEIotnnents
The ALLEGATION brought the total
amount allotted for District build
ings to $3.4OO,OOO. Other alloca-
tions included $1,50O,0O0 for q
Municipal Court building, $3.50, 900
for Juvenile Court and $3.50 900
for q ward building at Gallinger
Hospital.
OF the $1,6OO,OOO for the Jail,
$4,000 was an outright grant
and $500 a loan.
