New Weather Bureau
Building 10 Be Studied

The recommendation of the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee that
S250,00O be appropriated in the
pending agricultural supply bill to
construct the first unit of a new
building for the Weather Bureau
will be considered by the Senate
early next week.
The Senate committee was told
in hearings, made public yesterday,
that Government experts regard the
Weather Bureau as the most handi-
capped agency in Washington for
Office space.
According to the testimony, the
present building at Twenty-fourth
and M streets NV. was not de-
signed originally for Office purposes
and has been occupied by the
Weather Bureau for so years. The
new building would occupy the same
site.
The House failed to include the
item when it passed the agricul-
tural bill, so it will have to be set
tied in conference if the Senate
adopts 1t. When completed the
building would cost 100000.
The Seenate committee also al
lowed 5000 to purchase equipment
for the Beltsville Research Center
of the Agriculture Department.

Probers Will Study
Mystery Of Milk
And Pigeon Racing
Efforts Will Be Made
To Solve Ii at
Hearing Monday

An attempt to solve the mystery
of the relationship between pigeon
racing and the District milk situa-
ton will be made by the House
Milk Investigating Committee when
it resumes its inquiry Monday, it
was announced today by Chairman
Bates.
Twice the subject of pigeon rae
ing has been injected into the hear
ing, but no one has yet explained
what connection it may have with
the milk situation. DR.. Reid r..
Ashworth, director of the food in
spection division of the Health De-
partment, has told the committee
one of his milk inspectors is inter-
ested in pigeon breeding.
Representative Bates said he has
heard several stories about pigeon
racing in connection with the ship
ments into Washington of so-called
bootleg" or unlicensed cream and
is determined to find out whether
they are true.
Witnesses who claim to be able
to solve the mystery have been
called to testify as soon rs the in
vestigation is resumed. Mr.. Bates,
however, declined to reveal their
names in advance.
Fear that the inquiry might have
to be halted because of the lack of
sufficient funds caused Representa-
tive Bates to appeal late yesterday
to Chairman Warren of the House
Accounts Committee for an addi-
tional appropriation. He told Rep
resentative Warren if funds are
provided to pay the fees of the off,
cial stenographer. which are now
ranging between $50 and $50 a day,
it might be possible to complete the
investigation with the original
$4,000 appropriation.
Mr.. Bates said he thought the
$2,500 fund was to be used primarily
to pay the salaries of the commit
tees special staff, which includes a
lawyer, investigator and secretary.
He did not know, he said, that it
also had to bear the expense of
stenographic services.

Are Granted
Eviction Stay
Quarters Ordered
Left Standing
For Present

The 5th Battalion, Organized Ma
rine Corps Reserve, composed en-
tirely Of local personnel and re-
garded as one Of the country's finest
marine reserve units, has been
granted stay Of execution Of evic-
ton orders which would have left
it homeless.
The battalion now occupies tenn
porary quarters in building at
458 Indiana avenue NV, which has
been condemned in connection with
the municipal center development.
Although slated for immediate de-
srtuction, the building will be pre-
served temporarily because of lack
OF any other quarters for the marine
reserve, it has been announced
The proposed new armory for the
District National Guard. according
to plans based on location of the
building at the east end of East
Capitol street, also is to include ac-
commodations for the marine bat
talon.
Aided by Citizens.
"The present predicament Of this
battalion not only demonstrates the
dire need for new armory, but also
indicates that the citizens of the
District Of Columbia, officials and
private firms, have done much to
keep this fine outfit from drifting
into even worse straits as to quar-
ters," 1t was explained by q bat
talon officer.
The temporary "stay of execu-
ton" for the battalions headquar-
ters has been made possible only
because present construction In the
municipal center will miss the
building by inches.
The 5th Battalion consists of
eight companies OF 60 men each,
with a complement of % Marine
Corps and three Naval medical
officers and Naval Medical Section
attached. Five Of the companies
are made up entirely of District
men and the other three of men
from nearby Virginia and Maryland.
Lack Essential Equipment.
Although the local companies drill
as infantry units, they have not
been issued machine guns and other
infantry weapons which are es-
sential to their proper training for
lack of security in the inadequate
building now used as headquarters.
The building. loaned to the Marines
by the District Commissioners, is
merely group of small offices, one
Of which has been set aside for
each company. No formations or
drills can be held under cover.
The Hecht Co. about two years
ago invited the Marines to use their
parking building at Sixth and E
streets NV. for drills, thus taking
the Marine Reservists of the streets
In which they had been drilling in
spite Of traffic and weather.
1t was explained there are l8
Marine Reserve battalions scattered
throughout the United States.
While other battalions have
splendid armories, built with State
or Works Progress Administration
funds" it was said, "the local outfit,
in spite of its training handicaps,
has year after year turned in per-
formances that place the 5th Bat
talon in the upper brackets Of
