Byrnes Bill Economy
Estimates Too Hiqh,
Harrington Says
Bureaus Needed to Do
Work, W. P. A. Head
Tells SeQote Body
BY the Associated Press.

Col. F.. c. Harrington. w. P. A.
administrator, expressed the opin-
ion today that estimates of econo-
mics which would result from the
Byrnes bill, to merge Federal public
works functions, were likely to be
exaggerated
Bureaus probably would be set up
within the new Public Works De-
partment, to be created by the bill
to take over the different kinds of
work now handled by separate agen-
cies, Col. Harrington told the Senate
Unemployment Committee.
Testifying on the works consoli-
dation measure by Senator Byrnes
Democrat, of South Carolina, the
w. P. A. administrator said the bill
made no provision for continuing
non-construction w. P. A. projects
which give employment to $4,000
persons.
OF those who would be affected
by dlscontinuance of the non-con-
struction projects, he said, 356 900
are women, most of them engaged in
sewing.
w. D. johnson, who said he spoke
for the principal railway labor
executives, told the committee the
United States Employment Service
should be continued under the Labor
Department and not transferred to
the Social Security Board, as pro-
vided by the Byrnes bill.
Col Harrington said w. P. A. was
interested in provisions of the bill
which made old age assistance and
age for dependent children more
effective.
Regarding the bills provision for
unemployment insurance, the w. P.
A. administrator said unemployment
compensation would operate only for
people previously employed and
would not be a remedy for those
who always had been unemployed.
He agreed, however, with Senator
Byrnes, who is chairman of the
Unemployment Committee. that such
insurance should be the first attack
on unemployment.

Milk Fund Appeal
Made 10 Garry Out
Expansion Program
Over 400 Children,
Mostly TubereuIor,
Now Supplied Daily

An appeal for financial contribu-
tions to bolster the milk fund of the
City-wide Group, Ladies of Charity,
was made today by Mrs. George H.
OConnor, organization president, in
the hope of obtaining additional
money to carry out an expansion
program planned for the current
year.
The milk fund, begun six years
ago, at meeting at Trinity College,
has constantly expanded and now
cares for more than 400 children,
contributing a daily supply to each.
The fund has been supported since
its origin by contributions of mem
bers. friends and proceeds from an
annual entertainment given by the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick.
we believe heartily in the work."
Mrs. O'Connor said, "and think it
Is time the public became acouaint-
ed with our program. We need help
from every possible source to carry
on, and any contribution to the
fund will be for a most worthy
cause"
Group Meets Monday.
The monthly meeting of the group
Will be held Monday at II am. at
1901 Wyoming avenue NV, and
plans for the annual entertainment
program, to be held March 20 at
the Mayflower Hotel. will be dis
cussed. The milk fund group is
composed of IS members. A re-
view of several new cases is also
scheduled, Mrs. O'Connor said.
Most of the children cared for by
the organization are juvenile tuber-
culars. the president pointed out,
and 1t is necessary to provide milk
daily without fail. The average
yearly ratio per child is $43.8O, Mrs.
OConnor revealed, and the fund has
been spending more than $4,000 an
nually and still failing to reach all
needy cases. Additional financial
contributions are necessary to per-
nit ADDITION OF many pressing cases
on the 1889 program.
Many of the children cared for
are those discharged from Christ
Child Convalescent Home and the
Children's Country Home, the presi-
dent stated, and some Of those pro-
vided for by the fund have been
returned for additional treatment.
Second Highest Death Rate.
Our work is beginning to show
statistical results" Mrs. OConnor
added, in tuberculosis reports Of
the Health Department. In 1888
the District had the second highest
tuberculosis death rate in the coun-
try, but department officials estimate
that the 1899 rating will be con-
siderably improved, probably to fifth
place."
Mrs. O'Connor has been president
OF the group for three years. Mrs.
Joseph Tumulty has been vice presi-
dent since the founding In No.
vember. 1893.

Jurors Are Taken to Scene
Of Fatal ruffic Accident

Establishing a precedent in negli-
gent homicide trials, Police Court
jury today was taken in a bus to
Fourteenth and Upshur streets NV.
to view for a half hour the scene
OF a traffic accident in which a 75-
year-old motorist died.
The four women and eight men
jurors, accompanied by Judge Wal
ter j. Casey, Assistant United States
Attorney David A. Hart and Defense
Attorney T. Ormond Nichols, asked
numerous questions to augment tes-
timony given by witnesses.
The jurors, hearing the case
against Garland L. Goble, 26, of 1927
Center street NV, charged in con-
nection with the death on January
4 of George Watt, placed themselves
IN the position of eye witnesses to
reconstruct the precise view that
could be had from such a point.
Mr.. Goble was the motorman of a
street car going north on Fourteenth
street which collided with a car
driven east on Upshur street by Mr.
Watt.

Site Near Rock Creek Park
For Auditorium Proposed
Two East Capitol Proponents Base
Preference on Traffic Problem

H. Clifford Bangs, realtor and
member OF the Board Of Trade, ex-
pressed the belief that the audi
torium building should include ia
cllities for the housing of the Dis
trict Of Columbia National Guard
and that the combined structure
should be placed IN a neighborhood
easy of access, but in less con-
gested area than the location at
Constitution avenue and John Mar
shall place"
"The end of East Capitol street.
therefore" Mr.. Bangs said, lis the
best site suggested"
Location of the auditorium or Of
any other additional major building
within the congeSted area of WASH
ington. would be a serious mistake,
Godfrey Creyke, jr., local attorney
said.
In Path Of Expansion.
while I do feel that the East
Capitol street site would be pref
erable to a downtown one" Mr..
Creyke said. II would be still more
inclined to favor a site in the north
west area Of the city, perhaps near
Rock Creek Park. This would be
more accessible to majority of the
people residing here, and more in
the direction toward which the city
and the greater metropolitan area
is apparently expanding.
Further, I believe that such a
location would be more convenient
to those who are at local hotels in
the event Of its use for conventions,
etc"
Although he agrees thoroughly
with the argument that Washing
ton needs large auditorium, Per-
cival Hall, president of Gallaudet
College, told The Star that he has
not made sufficiently detailed
study to voice any opinion as to the
most suitable site. He indicated the
question of trafic might be a con-
trolling factor in any decision.

100000 Suit Filed
In Cavalier Disaster
By Wife Of Victim
PIointiff Alleges
30 Negligent Acts by
Overseo Air Line
Ey the Associated Press.

6y tue ASSoCldteO FItSS.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Theodore
Iserman, attorney, said today he had
filed suit for Mrs. Katherine Miller
of Lincoln, Nebr., one of the sur
vivors of the Cavalier disaster, ask
ing damages of 100000 for the
death of her husband, Donald Wal
tiers Miller
The suit in admiralty, accom-
panied by 104 'interrogatories"
which asked British Imperial Air
ways whether its captain had suf-
fered from "hysteria," was filed in
Federal Court for the Southern Dis
trict of New York. British Imperial
operated the New York-Bermuda
flying boat.
In addition to the 100000. Mrs
Miller asked compensation for the
loss of baggage which she valued at
s1.10950.
THE purpose of the suit" said
Iserman, lis to fix responsibility for
the accident and compel over ocean
foreign airlines operating out of
American ports to provide the same
safety measures as American-owned
companies"
30 Negligent Acts Alleged.
Mr.. Miller and two others lost
their lives on January 81 when the
20-ton transport, en- route from New
York to Hamilton, Bermuda, was
forced down at sea by what Capt.
M. R. Anderson in radio messages
described as carburetor icing Ten
persons, including Mrs. Miller, were
rescued after floating for hours in
the Gulf Stream. The plane sank.
The suit alleged 80 acts of negli-
gence by the airline. Mrs. Miller
asserted Imperial Airways had failed
to equip the plane with proper car
buretor de-icers, proper gauges in
the cockpit to indicate dangerous
fuel temperatures, to give warning
Of impending disaster, distribute life
preservers or instruct the passengers
in their use.
Other allegations made by Mrs.
Miller were that after her husband
was struck by a wing. of the plane
and 50 hurt that he could not save
himself, the officers and members of
the crew failed and refused to 90
to his assistance" although she
sought their aid.
Another question was whether 1t
was not true that the captain told
the passengers after the plane struck
the water that 1t was every man for
himself"
Unfavorable Weather Claimed.
Mrs. Miller's suit relates that the
Cavalier set forth from Port WASH
ington on the morning of January
q Notwithstanding unfavorable
weather conditions which were
known, or should have been known,
to the defendants.
The forced landing, the papers
in the suit assert, was due to the
"unseaworthiness, unairworthiness
and/or the negligent maintenance,
management, operation and control
of the Cavalier.
MRS. Miller has been offered q
settlement" said the attorney, but
she feels acceptance of it would not
produce public benefit. She wants
to insure abolition Of the double
standard of safety applying to
domestic and foreign trans-oceanic
planes"

lures in Maryland totaled s2,774, 700

This is the 26th of series of
articles dealing 1Uith the audi
toriunl- stadium problem now
pending in Congress. Further
discussion ,UiH tollo1U, and the
opinions of readers are inuited.
Adding their voices to the chorus
in favor of the East Capitol street
site for the proposed local audi
torium, two more local business lead
ers today pointed out the danger OF
adding further to the existing con-
gestlon in downtown Washington
A third, also warning against down
town congestion, characterizes the
East Capitol street site as preferable
to that in the Municipal Center, but
favors a site in the Northwest Sec
ton, possibly near Rock Greek Park.
The tendency in the future should
be to decentralize Federal construc-
ton in Washington to relieve the
trafflc situation, in the opinion of
Milton R. Vollmer. attorney, former
Board of Trade member and organ
lzer, secretary and director OF the
Business Mems Federation.
1T seems to me-" Mr.. Vollmer
said, that 1t would be big mistake
to place the auditorium at Consti-
tuition avenue and John Marshall
place, as proposed by the Audi
torium Commission, as the traffic
is already chaotic in this
congested area and parking facili-
ties could not be provided to accom-
the large crowds who would
visit the auditorium.
Decentralization Urged.
THE end of East Capitol street,
in my opinion, would be much bet
ter location from the standpoint of
traffic and parking and not too far
removed for accessibility. The ten
dency in the future should be to de-
centralize the large Government
buildings, as no doubt our bad traffic
situation is caused by having them
grouped too closely together"

II ERE'S an encouraging word to
L the woman whose wardrobe up
keep must needs be held down to a
limited budget. The skirt with con-
trast tops leads the style program
this season. With the separate skirt
or simple foundation dress and a
flock of fattering sweaters, jackets
and blouses tuned to occasion you
can dress as we'll as the next one
and not be extravagant especially if
you make your own"
Here's hoping the suggestions of
fered in the accompanying illustra-
ton will prove an inspiration to get
busy sewing, knitting and embroi-
dering on a wardrobe of pretty
things that will carry you trium-
phantly through the season from the
dress standpoint.
Let's start with the right skirt
to wear with the right top accom-
paniment. 1t is easily possible to
carry on well-dressed appearance
with two skirts in ones wardrobe,
wool or crepe for routine wear
plus a velvet or handsome crepe or
slipper satin weave for more for
NAL wear. However, you can go as
far as you like in laying in a supply
of skirts and then not have too many
if you go a lot. A tweed, a colorful
plaid, a pleated-all-round type, a
smartly fashioned crepe or satin for
day with fioor-length velvet or
crepe for evening formality, are
none too many.
Of course, with your tweeds and
your plaids you will want a swank
unitarian sweater. The model pic
tured to the left in the group is cas-
lily knit. You will love it because it
is so unusual. 1t has style distinc-
ton written all over it in that it is
knit in different way, using two
patternings that contrast a vertical
and horizontal handling. A soft
wool yarn in delectable deep rasp-
berry pink is used for the knitting
of this clever sweater.

If it's something a wee bit dress
Ter you are wanting, a touch of gay
hand-embroidery will do just that.
See what can be done in the way of
intriguing embroidery in the sweat
er blouse below to the right. The
model pictured is knitted of rust red
wool and the embroidery is done
in riotous flower colors.
Coming to the dressier modes,
handsome laces of every type and
description make the news head
lines for blouse and jacket and bo-
lero fantasies in q big way. It's
almost like magic the way a bit of
lace transforms into a jacket or
blouse masterpiece and even if you
are not an expert in making things,
a charming jacket-blouse or bolero
as pictured can be put together with
little effort. A collection of lace
tops will array you DANGEROUSLY
wherever you go.
A lace bolero does wonders in
dressing you UP, and does it click
charmingly with last years frocks!
1t is never so welcome and useful
as at the tail-end of winter when
you are feeling a bit jaded with
dark dresses and feel the need of
something to perk them up. The
carickmacross lace bolero which
you see pictured above to the right
will sound a refreshing new note for
your wardrobe. Scalloped all around
the edges it silhouettes effectively
against the background of a black
dress in either street or evening
length.
A dress-up jacket-blouse to be
worn with skirt or suit lends allure
to your formal afternoon or eve
ming costume. You can get the fine
leaf-patterned lace that fashions the
jacket-blouse pictured below to the
left in ravishing colors or in black.
The glittering rhinestone buttons
complete the formal look.

A DELIGHT TO Wear Under
Dark Fur Coat.

There is everything to commend
the pretty simple frocks of light

their styling is along youthful lines.
Perhaps the most captivating
thing about them is that they take on
such novel cunning and new
tricky details. A whole bevy of
pockets that you know we'll enough
cannot be put to use but you like
them because of their ornamental
qualities. The slide fasteners, too,
are as useful as they are decorative.
