Representative Bolles, Republican,
Of Wisconsin,, announced in tele-
gram from Wisconsin, released here
yesterday by his Office, that he was
withholding decision whether to
resign from the House District Com

II am making no determination in

Recently Mr.. Bolles was said to
have conided to friends he intended

War College Is Designated
Officially to End Confusion
This ought to be double news

This ought to be double news to
most persons-only trifle late.
Way back in 1885, in case any
one doesn't recall, the War De-
partment decided to bestow the
name of Fort Humphreys on that
Army reservation which incloses
the Army War College. In due
course an order was issued to that
effect.
Protests Immediately arose from
residents of the Southwest section.
It wasn't that they objected to the
name of Fort Humphreys in itself.
What is now Fort Belvoir previously
had borne that name in commence
ration of a distinguished officer of
the Corps of Engineers.
What the Southwest residents OBJ
jected to particularly was the con-
fusion the change in names caused.
From time to time the names of
Fort Jefferson, Washington Bar
racks and Washington Arsenal had
been used to designate the reserva-
tion which stretches along the banks
of tha Potomac River. The post
Evening star., 1939-11-29

has housed the famous Army War
College, the Army's highest seat Of
learning in the arts of war, for
many years. Its commanding officer
has been generally known com
mandant of the Army War Col
lege" despite the fact that he was
actually in command of the fort,
bearing another name, at which
the college was located.
The situation was called to the
attention of the War Department by
the Southwest Citizens Association.
"Our objection to applying the name
of Fort Humphreys" Harry S. Wen
der, president of the association, ex-
planned, was based on the inter-
minable confusion which has re-
suited in embarrassment to the
residents Of the post, the citizens of
the Southwest, the Postoffice De-
partment and the public generally" "
So the War Department, on
September /, issued orders ending
the confusion. The post was off,
cially designated the Army War Col
lege-a name 1t has been known by
Ill along.

Adams Building Sold
To New York Concern

The seven-story Adams Building,
1888 F street NV, has been bought
by Webb & Knapp, Inc, of New
York City, it was announced today.
The property was owned by the
Adams Building Trust, headed by
Robert A. Norblom, sole surviving
trustee. The land and building are
assessed for the current year at
$548,235.
The present building, constructed
in 1926, replaced an iron-front struc-
ture built about 1880 on the site of
the home of John Quincy Adams.
The New York firm, which was
represented by the purchase by
Parker & Wyatt of this city, said
there are several pending deals for
resale.

Monoxide Cos Death
Listed as Suicide

The coroner's Office late yesterday
issued a certificate of suicide in the
case of Milton Silas Lowen, jr., "a,
of 2525 Ontario road NV, who was
found dead of carbon monoxide gas
poisoning shortly after noon yester-
day in a garage in the rear of the
800 block of Buchanan street NV.
The body was discovered lying
between the humber of an automo-
bile and the wall of the garage.
The ignition key of the automobile
was turned on and the engine had
run until it drained the gasoline
tank, police reported
An ambulance was summoned
from Emergency Hospital and Mr..
Lowen was pronounced dead by the
physician in charge. Detectives of
the homicide squad investigated.

spect to location and authority and
responsibilities in the National Cap
ital Parks organization is unbal-
anced and difficult. The chief of
the Maintenance and Construction
Division is directing Office routine;
the chief of the Horticultural Divi-
sion is overloaded with the re-
sponsibility of maintenance, con-
struction and horticulture. The act
ing chief of Plans and Design Divi-
sion is working in the branch of
Plans and Design of the National
Park Service and not responible to
the superintendent. The acting chief
of the Engineering Division has di-
Wded responsibility to the acting
superintendent and the branch of
engineering"
Five Division Heads Urged.
The two collaborators recon-
mend that the organization of the
staff be 50 ordered that the super
intendent has, directly responsible
to him, five division heads. The
contact between the superintendent
and these division heads should be
direct without the interposition of
any aide"
| In this vein they propose three
main divisions, horticulture, main
tenance and construction and two
auxiliary divisions, special activities
and Office. They said all present
activities in the parks should be
grouped under these.
To allegiate the diversity of loca-
ton which hampers the operation
of the parks and to abolish the prac-
tices whereby the parks are run in
many instances by park service di-
vision chiefs over the head Of the
superintendent, the two men pro-
pose as follows:
1--WE recommend that the scat
tered Offices of the National Capital
Parks be gathered together in their
own headquarters building which
would include administration, shops,
garages. police rooms-everything
but sectional headquarters and field
Offices whose geographical location

other field Offices of the National
Park Service is denied to the Ma
tional Capital Parks.
THE placement of all services in
one headquarters would serve to
draw the various professions, tech
niques, skills and multudinous ex-
periences together in common
pool, Immediately available"
Red Tape Assailed.
On top of recommending that the
parks Office be made a self-reliant,
self sufficient organization with
unity and individuality the two
men launch an attack on the "red
tape" and other bureaucratic meth
DDS in force which decrease the
efficiency of the parks office within
| itself.
Paper work, they say. serves only
to destroy initiative, decrease ag-
gressiveness, secure an alibi for delay

Raid on Chinese Laundry Nets
Still Full of Sea Life (Deud)

The Chinatown Aquarium and
Celestial Elixir Distillery Unlimited
was taken in receivership today by
the ninth precinct and the facts in
the case are guaranteed to send
shivers racing along the spines Of
all drinking men.
The receivership began yesterday
when police staged a raid on a
Chinese laundry in the 300 block Of
Twelfth street NE. Strange smells
drifting from the laundry, which
did not bear the usual scent of shirts
burning under the iron, had made
the police suspicious.
Their suspicious were confirmed
when they found a still and so gal
Ions of whisky in the place. They
dismantled the still and what they
found made a teetotaler out of
every man on the raiding squad.
Evening star., 1939-11-29

For in the still was as fine COL
lection of assorted dried seahorses,
turtles, rattlesnakes, fish and other
marine life as could be found out
side the Commerce Department.
fishery.
Chinese who know about such
things explained to police that it
was an old practice to introduce
such extraneous objects into the
distilling process. Police said they
wouldn't know, because as far as
they could remember this was the
first time a Chinese still had been
raided here.
Capt. Richard Mansfield of the
ninth precinct ordered Quont Sing,
%, laundryman, charged with
violations of the liquor laws. Capt.
Mansfield said he hardly considered
the charges adequate, but they were
the best he could think up.

C.I. 0. Convention
Fights 10 Outlaw
Bat' a Shoe Factory
Revocation Asked Of
immigration Permits
For Instructors
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. Nov. 29.-Delegates
to the Maryland-District of Colum-
bia c. I. o. today charged that
establishment of a Bat'a Shoe Co.
factory at Belcamp, Md, will serve
mainly to aid the Hitler regime in
Nazi Germany"
They called upon the Secretary of
Labor to revoke the immigration
permit granted the Czecho-Slovak-
ian company for foreign instructors.
The resolution also asked President
Roosevelt to call public hearing to
determine "the circumstances sur
rounding the granting of the immi-
grafton permit" and the part "Sena-
tor Tydings played" in bringing the
company to America.
Another resolution commended
"the activities and function Of la
bor's Nonpartisan League in its
efforts to elect progressive candi-
dates to public Offices committed to
a program Of social and labor legis-
lation for the protection of labor"
Powers Hapgood, president of the
United Shoe Workers of America,
introduced the resolution referring
to the Bat'a Shoe Co. 1t said the
company has adopted the policy of
refusing to hire any American
skilled shoe workers."
The company has started con-
struction of a large industrial prof.
ect at Belcamp and production on
small scale already is under way.
Governor No Friend"
Delegates were advised by their
State president, John T. Jones, yes
terday that they don't have great
many friends" at the State Capitol
and if they are to obtain desired
legislation they must make greater
efforts than at the last Assembly
session.
And I don't think we have a
friend in the personality of the
Governor" he added.
He criticized the law under which
the State Industrial Accident Com
mission operates. He is a member
of the commission.
Mr.. Jones said he was against
any lump-sum settlement OF any
kind" for injured workmen. He
recommended change in the law
making it mandatory on every en-
ployer to insure with the State,
rather than with private insurance
companies.
Favors Wage Act.
The convention went on record in
favor of State wage-hour act, pro-
posed at the last legislative session,
but defeated.
Frank j. Bender, c. I. o. vice
president, said the law was needed
because manufacturers who paid
less than the minimum wage re-
quired under the Federal act were
evading the law by turning their
products over to jobbers.
Charles w. Erwin, 74-year old
editor of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America newspaper Ad-
vance, and associate editor of the
American Guardian, told the con-
vention banquet last night that the
rank and file of the A. F. L. is just
as good as you are, but, it's their
leaders Don't blame the A. F. L.
rank and file for Bill Green"
Officers will be elected today, final

The third OF a series OF articles
analysing details of the report
made by tUo experts after study
OF the National Capital Parks.
Another 1UiN appear tomorrow.
Dual and ill-defined lines of au-
thority and diversity in the location
of many phases of the work now
carried on by the Office of National
Capital Parks will have to be done
away with before the parks Office
can function at maximum efficiency
This is the viewpoint taken by
H. S. Wagner and Charles G. Sauers,
two collaborators borrowed by Sec
retary of the Interior Ickes to make
thorough study of the Office of
National Capital Parks in that phase
of their report which deals with
management, organization and per-
sonnel relationships.
Under the present setup the Office
of National Capital Parks is as fol-
lows: The administrative, mainte-
nance and construction, horticul-
tural, protection (police), monu-
ments and memorials and recrea-
ton divisions are directly under the
superintendent. However, engineers,
planners and designers, foresters,
naturalists, historians, lawyers and
other classifications of personnel in
volved in the operation of the park
holdings are either responsible to
the various division chiefs or the
National Park Service and have
dual responsibility to service division
chiefs and to the superintendent.
Indefiniteness of Authority.
In this way, it is possible for GER
tain personnel in the parks Office to
go over the superintendent's head
and for officials only indirectly oc-
cupied with specific problems in
Washington's parks to issue direct
orders affecting the holdings sup
posedly under the superintendent's
jurisdiction.
There is evident in the existing
organization an indefiniteness Of
authority, and sometimes Wnere IL Is
definite it is bypassed. Distortion,
implying indirection, in lines of au-
thority leads to confusion and loss
of orientation. Further confusion is
developed through bypassing re-
sponsible employees and holding con-
sultation with interiors in authority
without the cognizance of the SUI
perior so evaded" the two col
laborators say in their report.
Esprit de corps, sense OF direc-
ton, time, tempers and much else
are now lost through diversity of To-
cation, with the administrative Of
fees in one part of the Interior
building, landscape architects in
another, design Offices in another,
maintenance, horticultural, con-
struction and repair stats at the
shops, survey staff in the survey
lodge and police in inadequate and
separated quarters. Even these ap-
parently small distances of separa-
ton promote delay, lack of under
standing and loss of continuity"
