Fine Arts Body
Sculpture Work for
District Buildings
Also Endorsed

Final approval has been given for
the design of the new District OF
} Columbia Free Public Library, to
be constructed between Sixth street
and John Marshall place on Penn
sylvania avenue NV.
The National Commission of Fine
Arts yesterday approved the design
and also plans for number of
sculptural and decorative works
which are to embellish the group
of new District buildings being built
northeast of the library site.
The library design approved is the
same released by the commission
last week and reproduced in The
Star at that time. 1t has been pre-
pared by Municipal Architect Ma
than c. Wyeth and represents a
compromise on the views of library
officials. District government, the
Fine Arts Commission and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission. A#
Models Approved.
The commission yesterday ap-
proved designs and models by Miss
Hildreth Meiere and Waylande
Gregory for ceramics to be placed
in the court of the new Municipal
Center Building The commission
also approved full-sized models for
sculptural reliefs, allegorical in ma
ture, to decorate the blocks f1anking
steps at the head of the projected
John Marshall place terrace, part
of the Municipal Center plan, as
well as a design for a police me-
mortal fountain to be erected near
Indiana avenue adjacent to the
Municipal Center Building.
John Gregory and Lee Lawrie are
the sculptors for the terrace blocks,
while John j. Early is the designer
of the police memorial fountain.
Funds for the latter, amounting to
$4,000, have been raised by the
citizens of Washington.
Architect Building Design.
Other matters approved by the
commission yesterday include the
design for a library and admins
tration building for the grounds of
Octagon House, headquarters for the
American Institute of Architects, at
Eighteenth street and New York
avenue NV. The new building is
designed in the Georgian style to
harmonic with the famous Octagon
House. D. Everett Waid, Dwight
James Baum and Otto Eggers, as
sociated architects, designed the
new building.
The design for a new apartment,
to be situated at 2501 @ street NV,
was approved by the commission.
Because the apartment site borders
Rock Greek Park it comes under the
surveillance of the Fine Arts Com
mission under the Shipstead-Luce
Act.
In addition. the commission ap-
proved a landscape plan for a me-
mortal to Marconi, inventor of the
wireless, to be placed at Sixteenth
and Lamont streets NV. in a tri-
angular park reservation at that
point. The memorial has been
financed by popular subscription.
A plan to acquire several objects
of art for the Freer Gallery was
approved, as were designs for two
transit terminals, one in Rosslyn
Va, and the other at Barney Circle
Seventeenth street and "PennSyl-
vania avenue Sc.

Nine Del Bills
Face Death al
This Session
Further Legislation
Unlikely, Unless it Is
Of Emergency Notur2 :
BY JAMES E. CHM.

Regardless Of how long the pre-
ent session of Congress continue,
there is little likelihood that any
additional District legislation will
be enacted unless it is of an emer-
gency nature.
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee made that pre-
diction today after conference
with Democratic leaders in Con-
gress-the men who determine in
advance what legislation shall have
the right of way and the probable
time of its consideration.
His forecast means that nine Dis.
trict bills on the House calendar are
destined to die. Some of them-at
one time or another-Were regarded
as important.
Considered Too Controversial.
Now they are considered to be
too controversial to bring before a
Congress that is primarily engrossed
in trying to build up the Nations
defenses. and at the same time to
find way to pay the cost.
AS the situation appears now the
District calendar in the House is
cleaned up for the present session
of Congress-" Representative Ran
dolph declared
Except for the nine so-called con-
troversial bills, the House wiped the
local legislative calendar clean yes
terday by passing two Senate-ap-
proved measures and sending them
to the White House for the sigma
ture of President Roosevelt. One
provides that all charitable institu-
tions, whether or not they have in
mates, shall be furnished water with
out cost. Existing law allows
charitable institutions with inmates
to escape the water charge. The
other bill passed by the House and
needing only the signature of the
President to make it law would
establish a board of funeral direc-
tors to regulate and control the ac-
tlvitles of District undertakers and
embalmers.
Taxicab Bill Doomed.
Outstanding among the nine bills
On the House calendar expected to
be killed in view of the present pro-
gram are:
l. Authorizing the Public Utilities
Commission to reduce the number
OF taxicabs in Washington.
2. Opening the local milk market
to the products Of dairy farmers in
any State-legislation Representa-
tive Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana,
It's sponsor, claims will end the
"monopolistic" control of the Wash
ington milk supply by organized
producers in Maryland, Virginia and
parts of West Virginia and bring
about a reduction in the retail price
| of milk.
g. Amending the child labor law
to permit children IA years Of age
or over to take part in professional
concerts and theatrical productions.
Power to Fix Liquor Prices.
4. Giving the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board power to fix the price
OF liquor sold by retail stores.
The five other bills on the House
calendar would:
1. Regulate the practice of pro-
fessional engineering.
2. Amend existing law for han
ding insanity cases.
3. Regulate the practice of op-
tometry.
4. Forbid sale in the District of
convict-made commodities.
3, Reorganize the municipal gov
eminent in the interest of efficiency
and economy.

Garage Co||apses
In Southeast;
Children Escape
Firemen Dig in Ruins,
But Find Youngsters
Fled Before Crash

An anxious crowd collected in
front of an apartment at sos Thir-
teenth street Sc. today when the
collapse of two-story brick garage
in the rear gave rise to a temporary
belief that a man and at least one
child was buried under the debris.
Firemen, working beneath the
overhang of wall sections which
threatened to fall. burroWed into
the mass of brick, timbers and roof
ing and finally assured themselves
that no one was caught under
meath.
Front Collapses.
The whole front OF the struc-
ture. converted stable, collapsed
while Robert Carr, 80, of 1441 A
street Sc, was repairing garage
door. Mr.. Carr heard the masonry
crack and dashed to safety a mo-
ment before the alley was filled
with an avalanche of rubble. The
second floor was vacant at the time,
as were the garages.
A few minutes before the building
collapsed, 4-year-old Tommy Davis
of sos Fifteenth street Sc, nephew
OF Mr.. Carr's, had been playing in
the building with three other Davis
children.
Tommy's mother, Mrs. Earline
Davis, watched from the second
floor window of her apartment
across the alley from the garage
while her brother repaired the old
building. 1t was believed a few
bricks were loosened beneath
heavy steel beam which ran across
the top of two garage doors.
Dust Chokes Alley.
Mrs. Davis had turned away from
the window for a moment when she
heard a cracking sound followed by
roar of falling masonry. A cloud
OF dust choked the alley. preventing
her from seeing that her brother
and children had escaped.
Mrs. Davis screamed for her
brother, who did not answer. He
had run around the end of the
building and was mounting the
steps of the apartment to reassure
her.
Neighbors said the alley and
both floors of the old building were
popular Fairgrounds for children
living nearby.
The apartment and garage is
owned by Isaac Baker of 313 Second
street S.W., who inspected the re-
pair work this morning and left
just before the cave-in. Spectators
who had seen two men in front of
the garage q moment before did
not know that Mr.. Baker had gone.
They reported to police that a man
was under the debris, and possibly
several children.
The Davis children left a few
minutes before the accident and
were all present for a nose-count-
ing afterward.

return for promises mortaging China's future. I spent some time in the Communist Eighth Route Army area last summer, and am convinced no money or supplies are going from Russia to the Chinese Communists.
 There is not 8 single Russian adviser in the entire area, which is only 1912 counties in extent. The Russian supplies coming in over the trade route described are coming to the Central government.
 Lanchow is decidedly anti-Com- munist, and is a weeks motor jour- ney away from the headquarters of General Gnu Teh and his troops. The Eighth Route Army has not a single airplane, and has never had adequate equipment. Much of the time the troops have had to depend on what they captured from the enemy.
 Government officials have some ASeNoOAA AOA CAAOA4 4CCAI14e tlldb 1tuo~ sia's aid is more disinterested than that of the western democracies. The latter have made their loans only for goods which must be pur- chased within their respective coun- tries and non military at that. Rus- sia is shipping munitions and air- planes and does so regardless of whether China is able to keep up her exports in turn or not. Prob- ably the most rational explanation is that Russia prefers a stable, In- dependent China to a Japan con- trolled China t her back door,
 The number of Soviet mechanics, airplane experts and aides being sent to the Chinese government in Chungking has been greatly over- estimated. Instead of 1900, as some- times reported, there are probably not more than 300. May are flying planes, or working on regular as- signment for the Chiang Kai-shek government, and none has tarried in so-called Communist territory.
