ROOSEVELT. BACK,
TALKS WITH HULL
Also Sees Morgenthau and
Leahy and Works on
Maryland Address,.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt spent more than
an hour in conference at the White
House today with Secretary of State
Hull. presumably discussing the critical
war situation in Europe.
Secretary Hull, his portfolio bulging
with documents. came to the White
House shortly after the President had
return from his trip to Hyde Park,
N. Y.
Later the President conferred with
Admiral Leahy. chief Of naval opera
tions, and Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau. who has just returned
from trip to Europe. The Secretary
remained at the White House for
lunch.
Met by Col. johnson.
Arriving at $50 O'Clock this morn
ing, the President was met by Col
Louis johnson, Assistant Secretary OF
War, who had just returned to Wash
ineton from an Army inspection trip
which carried him AS far as Alaska.
Others on the Presidents engage
ment list today included Representa-
tive Goldsborough of Maryland. with
whom the President discussed his plans
for political trip into Maryland on
Labor Day, when he will speak at
Denton on behalf of the senatorial
candidacy of Representative David j.
Lewis, New Deal opponent of Senator
Iydlngs. 1t was announced the ad-
dress will be broadcast over the red
and blue networks of the National
Broadcasting Co. from 2 to 2:3O pm.
Representative Goldsborough told
reporters, after he had seen the Presi-
dent, that he didn't give him any re-
port on the Maryland situation at all
Asked whether he thought Repre-
sentative Lewis or Senator Tydings
would carry the Eastern Shore, the
congressman said he would rather
not comment"
Il can say" he added. that ever
since the Sunday morning papers an
nounced this visit, everyone of what
ever political faith they might be ex-
pressed the greatest happiness and
satisfaction that he (the President) is
coming"
Representative Goldsborough said
the President would stop briefly in
Salisbury Monday and probably would
have few words to say.
He said the President and his party
would have lunch at the Goldsborough
home in Denton and that the speech
would be delivered in front of the
Law Building facing the courthouse

Meanwhile, as If by accident, the
British grand fleet is holding its

in July, 1914.
Altogether, it is pretty picture of

The main question is what Germany
intends. There is not the slightest

ings. seeking reelection in Maryland.
1t is pointed out that the President

The personal friendship between
the President and Senator Radcliffe
dates back to the days when Mr..

President Roosevelt's campaign for

undergoing tests today in Democratic
primaries on Ihe Atlantic and the
Pacific coasts
Senators Ellison D. Smith of South

The turbulent South Carolina con-
test was the first to- be decided in
which the Chief Executive had ap-
pealed, even indirectly, for the defeat
OF an incumbent Congressman.
Senator Smith, whose 80 years of
service make him Democratic dean of
the Senate, opposed the court bill and
various other administration proposals.
He declared. however, he had support
ed more than 80 per cent Of the Presi-
dents program.
The outcome was being watched by
politicians for its possible relationship
to next months primaries in nearby
Georgia and Maryland, where the
President openly advocated the defeat
Of Senators George and Tydings.

Saturday
Mr.. Brown, replying to Gov john

with whose State administration he
long has been at odds.
In vitriolic broadside at Gov. john
ston yesterday he accused the Gov

bed of enemies of President Roosevelt
and of then becoming an administra-

Mr. Brown refrained. however, from
directly asking his adherents to sup

The withdrawn candidates state

eliminating more than a decade Of
public agitation for a new municipal
center in Washington. the Public
Works Administration in a surprise
move today approved an allotment Of
$5,700.000 to enable the District to
start construction of the administra-
tive building early this fall
Until the announcement was made
by Acting Administrator Howard A.
Gray it was not known outside small
group of officials that the Commits
sloners had submitted an alternate
application more than doubling their
original request for s2.520,0OO The
deal was said to have been put
through at a recent secret conference
with p w. A. officials.
The allotment for the municipal
center is divided into a loan Of So
$4,000 and Federal grant of So
565 900. 1t brings to a total of
3l3.53l 900 the total amount ap.
proved thus far for municipal con-
struction work in the District. That
amount exceeds by several millions of
dollars ths P. w. A. funds obligated
by the District under the 1884 P. w. A.
program.
Site Near Judiciary Square.
In making the allotment, Mr.. Gray
said 1t was justified so as to provide
suitable administrative offices to allow
concentration Of District activities
in one location"
More than three years ago the Dis
trlct Government spent $6,0O0.O0O to
purchase the necessary land for the
large Municipal Center development
which eventually will offset the new
Federal buildings in the southern
portion of the Pennsylvania avenue
triangle
The site for the center is between
c street and Indiana avenue. Third
and Sixth streets NV, part of it
abutting Judiciary Square on which
the District is soon to start construc-
, ton of the newly approved buildings
for the Municipal and Juvenile Courts.
The latest estimated cost for the en-
tire Municipal Center was said to be
from $500 900 to 100000.
The first unit, for which Congress
made an advance at the last session,
was planned to accommodate the
Police, Fire and Traffic Departments.
Its location is to be at Third Street
and Indiana avenue. The estimated
cost Of this first wing was 81 500, 900.
Room for Expansion.
So far as could be learned. there has
been no change in the latest plans for
the development Of the area from c
street to Indiana avenue and from
Third to Sixth street There is
plenty of room for future expansion
| above c street. it was said
Square, 49l. which is in the SOUTH
west quarter of the site, has been ear
marked by Congress as the location
for the new main Public Library.
Originally the District Government
had extended the Municipal Center
site down as far as Constitution ave-
nue., but it was decided the additional
land was not needed.
In asking the P. w. A. for money
additional to the sl,5O0.OOo provided
by Congress the Commissioners
planned to erect a six-story granite
building so designed that other wings
could be added as funds became avail
able in later years.
