U.S.. Spending Plans Reuiue
Projects Long Dormant Here
Var and Macy Departments Are Among
Federal Agencies Searching Flies for
Bluepri1ts of Cherished Proposals.

, abouts that many Government off,
cials would like to see launched soon
is the improvement of the end OF
East Capitol street on the banks of
the Anacostia River with the posi-
bility of new bridge across the
river at that point. This project
would embrace a new National Guard
Armory for the District, a sports
center, and stadium on the Govern
ment-owned property.
Collateral to this is the project on
which William T. Partridge, consult
ing architect of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, is
concentrating. This involves the i'm
provement of East Capitol street from
the Capitol to the Anacostia River.
Projected there has been the Avenue
of the States, on which each of the
States of the Union would erect its
own building.
Arboretum Plan Revived.
Further development of Fort Dupont
Park and the National Arboretum,
and the further improvement of Fort
Hunt, Va, on the Mount Vernon Me-
mortal highway, are other items being
given Government attention.
Erection of public auditorium here
has been one of the major projects
long discussed
With the prospective acquisition by
the Federal Government Of the Ches-
apeake e. Ohio Canal property. au-
thorities foresee that money could be
expended profltably in the rehabilita-
ton of that historic waterway for
recreational purposes
A Gettysburg memorial highway, ex-
tending either out Sixteenth street
northward or utilizing the present
highway to Rockville and Frederick,
Md. has been under discussion and
might well form the subject of
public works project. officials said.
In the George Washington Memo
rial Parkway many improvements for
public use could be utilized, in the
opinion of authorities. Putting the
recently acquired Letter estate into
shape and erecting picnic areas and
other facilities Is another project still
being weighed.
Furnishing Of additional tennis
courts and other recreational facilities
in the washington park system is re-
ceiving attention.
Carrying the Fort Drive-the pro-
jected motor parkway drive linking
up the various Civil War forts en-
circling the city-to fruition is another
program that the officials would like to
see brought about.
Additional libraries, the long-delayed
Municipal Center for the District gov
ernment and other improvements here
are considered by the interested on
cials as they scan the list Of potential
projects.
Long discussed has been the grand
plaza improvement, just east of the
new Department Of Commerce Build
ing. A memorial fountain is to be
erected when the outdoor parking
garage" has been eliminated south Of
the District Building.
lingering through the long list Of
prospects, Government officials here
set it down as their consensus that
Washington is not lacking in projects
that might well be pushed under the
stimulus Of a new Federal public works
spending program.

PRESIDENTS WIFE
SEES NO DICTATOR
Can't Imagine Husband in
Role or Herself ExiIed to
Kitchen, She Saws.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said to-
day she simply can't imagine the
President in the role Of dictator, and
just Is emphatically she declared she
can't imagine herself banished to the
kitchen.
When the question Of a possible
dictatorship in America was brought
up at her press conference this morn
ing. some one suggested that under
dictators in the past and present
women usually have been relegated to
the kitchen and the home. She said
that In the Roosevelt family 1t seemed
highly improbable that one member
would become q dictator and the other
withdraw from the world and be con-
cerned only with domestic pursuits.
Il think the two are about equally
probable" Mrs. Roosevelt said. More
seriously, she added that she thinks
relationships do not depend SO much
ON individuals as they do on people,
and that she does not believe Jour
situation or our people are the kind
that make dictatorship"
Upholds Kennedy's Ban.
Asked her opinion of Ambassador
Kennedy's new ruling closing the door
Of the Court Of st. James to American
women merely visiting in England, she
called 1t . sensible idea"
Pointing out that she has never
been presented at court, Mrs. Roose-
welt said she could never understand
why people wanted to be presented
unless there was a real reason.
Such q reason, she explained, might
be an opportunity to talk to people" :"
but lust to pass by in q line seems
little futile. Court presentations
might be interesting to watch as a
pageant. she conceded, but a little
hard on the people in it.
The much-discussed moving pic
ture, THE Birth Of Baby" will be
sent to the White House by Miss
Katharine Lenroot Of the Children's
Bureau in the near future, Mrs.
Roosevelt disclosed, and she hopes to
see 1t soon.
Honest Things Not Bad.
From magazine pictures Of the film,
she said, she has formed the opinion
that in this case the intent is to
supply people with information which
should be valuable"
II never think that honest things
are bad, while suggestive things that
do not deal honestly with the sub
ject are often bad" she declared.
Whether the pictures should be
shown to children, Mrs. Roosevelt
added, depended upon the individual
child and how his parents felt about
it. She related that the small son
of a friend appeared bored when
shown the photographs and COM
mented:
The ostrich in school had a much
harder time laying an egg"

mates prepared four months ago by

100000 for flood-control projects,
compared with s105, 900 900 this year.
and $l0.250,l25 for the Panama
Canal. s323,635 less for this year.
Although the s220,634,725 total is
more than s25 100000 above the 1888
appropriation, the War Department
this year was given $52,50O 900 in re-
lief funds, making the funds available
for 1888 actually $26, ,40l, 1888 more than
the bill proposes for the next year.
Much for Mississippi.
The committee recommended that
$3l 100000 Of the flood control ap-
preparation be spent on the Mississippi
River and its tributaries. The Army
engineers were given $45 100000 for
that purpose this year, but the total
included $22,500,0OO of relief money.
The bill also carries sits, 400 for the
Office Of Paul McNutt. Philippines High

Dental candidate in 1910, asked the
committee to make $4,000 available
to bring him and his family home if
he should resign. His testimony,
given while he was here recently, was
made public today.
Mr.. McNutt also told the committee
he had been forced to give up his
Philippine residence, which he rented
for $500 year, when its owner re-
turned from world tour, and the only
other place available would cost the
Government $4,000 a year.
Projects Cost Increased.
Army engineers said in statements
before q subcommittee of the Ap-
propriations Committee that q w. P.
A. requirement that 10 per cent of
relief money go for labor had caused
disproportionate increase in the cost
Of some projects Half of the engi-
'neers' $60,000,000 appropriation for
flood control work this year came
from w. P. A. funds.
Capt. Peter A. Feringa said the corps
had been decidedly handicapped be-
cause OF lack of labor" on projects far
removed from urban labor supplies.
There are certain types OF work
which can be done readily and eco
nomically with w. P. A. labor" he
said. THAT is, work such as clear
ing, where q large amount Of labor
is normally used.
Those projects where q large
amount Of machinery is necessary AID
where great deal of supplies and
materials is necessary cannot be per-
formed economically with relief labor"
