2.Way Police Radio
system for District
Faces Further DELAY
&c. G. Retires to Closed
Files Construction
Permit for Units

The proposed two-way radio COM
munications system for the Wash
ington Police Department faced
further delay today when the Fed
eral Communications Commission
retired to its closed files a construc-
ton permit which was issued for
eight mobile units. The commits
sion explained that the permit was
retired because no application for
license to operate had been made
within the required time.
Maj Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, said the eight
mobile units were practically ready
for operation. but that the Police
Department was having difficulty in
locating a site for the antenna re-
quired in two-way. short-wave radio
communication. He said the Police
Department wanted the antenna To-
Gated on the Washington Monument,
but that it had been denied this
permission. The police superintend-
ent said that negotiations were now
being carried on with the superin-
tendent of schools in an effort to
have the antenna located on one of
the school buildings which occupies
high ground. Height is one of the
necessities for a transmitting an
tenna for this type of radio service.
Maj. Brown said the Central High
School had been suggested as one
site and another was the Woodrow
Wilson High School, located near
Fort Reno, the highest elevation in
the city.
The Superintendent of Police said
that as soon as site for the antenna
is settled that the Federal Communi-
cations Commission would be asked
to issue construction permit and
at the same time permit would be
asked for the eight mobile units au-
thorized in the permit which was
ordered retired today.

Employees Who Handle Shorter
Hours Data Work Overtime

The Wages and Hours Division of
the Department of Labor, dedicated
partly to working out details of
shorter working periods, finds itself
in the rather contradictory category
of being compelled to work its own
employees overtime, some of them
at times putting in as much as two
days work in 24-hour period.
Several conditions cause this un-
usual situation, spokesmen for the
division explained today. Principal
among these items are the statu-
tory changes in the Wage and Hour
Act which go into effect October
"a, raising minimum wages from Is
to 80 cents an hour and reducing
the work-week from A to AZ hours.
Letters by the thousands, asking
questions about the changes, have
been coming in from all over the
country. Offlcials of the division
feel these have to be answered,
even If it is necessary to work ern-
ployes of the division overtime In
order to answer them.
It is estimated by division o1lcials

kell. real estate broker, acting for
James ODonoghue, owner of the
Chesley Building, contending 1t was

Capt. Dram argued the clock was
erected solely for advertising pur-
poses, since it was placed so as to
be over the previously existing bill
board bearing beer sign, that the
clock would increase the value Of
the billboard location; that the clock.
in fact, must be considered as an
enlargement Of the existing sign.
In arguing his case, Mr.. Heiskell
at one time wrote Capt. Dram: you
certainly have gone to extreme
lengths to discern, to stretch your
imagination to the point to desig-
nate clock as q sign"
The issue rested on refusal of the
electrical division, in the past, to
grant an electrical permit. not for
the mechanical operation of the
clock. but for neon lights to eliminate
the hands and numerals on the
clock and to outline the clock itself.

The Mayflower. like any good
housewife with plenty of company
on her hands. sent far and wide for
delicacies after the local market
ran out. Supplies Of fresh capon
were rushed in from Indiana, Illi-
nois and as far West as Iowa.

las Marchitello, the Italian chef.
A corps of almost 400 walters was
being organized, pastry cooks and
bakers inspired. floor plans drawn
up, and lists of borrowed articles
kept in order.
The other hotels responded like
good neighbors. The Harrington,
Carlton, Wardman Park, Washing
ton, Roger Smith, Shoreham, Roose-
vent and Raleigh lent chairs, round
tables and tray stands.
The Mayflower was able to mus
ter unassisted some $4,000 pieces
of china, 2l,000 pieces of silver,
and the linen for the biggest BAN
quet ever seated in Washington,
and probably the biggest in the
country.
The dinner menu for the post
masters and their guests is half
a grapefruit with sherry. celery
and olives, breast of capon, new
peas, baby lima beans and corn,
candied sweet potatoes. hot Mary
land biscuit and corn bread, hearts
of lettuce salad, ice cream with
sauce and marshmallow cake.
A Hotel Full Of Tables.
The guests will be seated in the
grand ballroom, the Chinese room
the presidential room, the promenade
the Pan-American room, the Seven
teenth street lobby and the galleries
above the ballroom. A two-way
loudspeaker system will keep the
diners in touch with the speaker

Washington Made
See City Of New
Archdiocese
St. Matthews Church
Has Been Designated
As Cathedral

Washington, one of the few major
capitals of the world which has not
been the seat of Catholic arch
diocese, today was selected as the
see city of a new archdiocese of the
Roman Catholic Church, according
to word received from Rome through
the apostolic delegate here.
The new jurisdiction will be known
as the Archdiocese of Washington
and will have as its cathedral st.
Matthew's Church, 1923 Rhode
Island avenue NV, the announce
ment released through the National
Catholic Welfare Conference stated.
With the Right Rev. Msgr. Edward
L. Buckley as rector, St. Matthews
parish will be 100 years old next
year.
The Most Rev. Michael J. Curley.
Archbishop of Baltimore, will have
jurisdiction over both archdioceses
with the title of Archbishop of Balti-
more and Washington, the an
nouncement revealed.
No Change in Setup.
A spokesman for Archbishop
Curley pointed out last night that
the selection of Washington as a
see city raises, the Capital from a
city in the province of the Baltimore
archdiocese to station equal in
rank to Baltimore, the oldest arch
diocese in the United States. No
physical change in the administra-
tive setup will be made, the spokes-
man added.
He explained that it is not unusual
for two cities to be named joint see
of diocese, and that there are
three instances in this country.
The archdiocese of Baltimore was
founded in 1889, the same year that
Congress authorized the establish
ment of the Capital.
Selection of Washington as see
city came on the 60th birthday
anniversary yesterday of Archbishop
Curley, who was elevated to the
See of Baltimore in 1921.
Holy Trinity Oldest.
The oldest Catholic church in
Washington is Holy Trinity In
Georgetown, while st. Patrick's, 10.
Gated in downtown Washington. Is
considered the parent church of the
District.
Persons recalled that Pope Plus
XII, visiting here just three years
ago as papal secretary of state, ex-
pressed his interest of the growing
position of the Capital in world
affairs.
The announcement made no men,
ton of changes in high ranking
clergymen here. The Most Rev
John NJ. Mcnamara, rector of St
Gabriel's Church at Grant Circle
is auxiliary bishop of the Baltimore
diocese. In that capacity he has
been Archbishop Curley's leading
assistant.
Corner stone of the new cathedral
was laid in 1893. Before that st
Matthews wac located at Fifteenth
and H streets NV. on the present
site of the Southern Building.
There are "a Catholic churches
in the District of Columbia as well
