King Gives Support
To Plan for Court
On Domestic Relations
Indicates He Feels
Social Welfare Review
Not Necessary Now

Suggestion for establishment of a
domestic relations court, as a unit
of the District Court, has found a
supporter in Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee. He in
dicated yesterday he would give
further consideration to the idea be-
fore the end of this session of Con-
gress.
The suggestion was made infor-
mally by Senator McCarran, Demo-
crat, of Nevada, chairman of sub
committee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee which is considering the
nomination of Judge Fay Bentley
of Juvenile Court for another term
of office.
Senator King indicated he did not
see any necessity, at this time, for an
investigation of the whole social
welfare problem as related to chill
dren subject to the courts, although
voicing favorable reaction to the
idea of establishing a domestic re-
lations court which would assume
jurisdiction over divorce and nom
support cases in which the prob
lens of juveniles are not directly
related.
Extensive hearings on the nomi-
nation of Judge Bentley have been
concluded and the McCarran Judici-
airy Subcommittee is expected to
have its report ready sometime next
week. 1t has been anticipated the
subcommittee would not oppose con-
frmation of Judge Bentley.

$4,000 Check Assures
James Monroe Shrine
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, June 29.-The
perpetuation of the James Monroe
birthplace near Colonial Beach as a
national shrine will be assured to-
day when Gov. Price presents Jay
w. Johns of Charlottesville, presi-
dent of the James Monroe Birth
place Association, with a check for
$4,000 toward the purchase price of
the property.
The $4,000 private subscription
fund, upon which a State appro-
priation for the same amount was
contingent, was completed yesterday
and certified to the State.
The presentation will take place
on the birthplace site in Westmore-
land County.
James Monroe was born on April
%, 1758. His birthplace has hitherto
been unmarked.
The association for the establish
ment of the memorial was started
several years ago by citizens of the
Virginia northern neck area. Just
what type of memorial will be
erected has not been decided, Mr..
Johns said.
Recent emphasis on the Monroe
Doctrine may mean that the me-
mortal will have national and inter-
national character, he added.

time
Two boys, Billy and Joe Holden.
6-year-old twins, were too excited to
say much. Mrs. Gladys E. Holden
of 209 Fifth street Sc, their mother,
volunteered that Billy was so ex-
cited he could not eat any breakfast.
Even an old-timer like Sonny
Magtutu, II, who had been to camp
twice, was excited, for he felt he was
responsible for his two brothers,
Nicholas, 8, and Paul, 9, who were
going to camp for the first time.
Sergt Forrest L. Binswanger. di-
rector of the club, led the buses on
their way to camp.
Other groups of boys will leave for

Property Owners to Fight
Scott Circle Underposs
Citizens Call Protest Meeting;
Shofer May Ask Investigation

The proposed underpass to carry
Sixteenth street beneath Scott Circle
today faced not only protest meet
ing of adjacent property owners but
also the prospects of investigation
by congressional committee.
Representative Shafer, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, a member of
the subcommittee on streets and
traffic of the House District Com
mittee, announced he will take up
the matter with members of the
subcommittee for study and pos
sible investigation.
The protest meeting has been
called for Monday night at the Ma
tional Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, 1927 Six
tenth street NV. Call has gone
out under the name of the Six
tenth Street Committee, headed by
Frank B. Steele, the secretary-reg-
istrar general of the society.
Shift in Plans Laid to Ickes.
Mr.. Shafer. in objecting to the
underpass, said he had understood
that original plans had been to
have the underpass on Massachu-
sets avenue, but that objection to
this by Secretary of the Interior
Ickes had been one of the reasons
for the change to Sixteenth street.
Secretary Ickes didn't want two
small parks on Massachusetts ave-
nue. molested, Mr.. Shafer said.
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director
of highways, explained that studies
had been made of both Massa-
chussetts avenue and Sixteenth
street to determine which would be
the more practicable for the under
pass and that it had been concluded
Sixteenth street was the better.
Capt. Whitehurst said the Six
tenth street plan would require a
much shorter underpass than one on
Massachusetts, avenue. If the ave-
nue. had been used the underpass
would have to be so long that it
would leave too short an avenue
space on either exit toward Fiji
tenth and Seventeenth streets for
traffic reservoirs, he said.
Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets
are heavily travelled, he explained,
while the crosstown streets inter-
secting Sixteenth street. both north
and south of Scott Circle, are not
important traffic arteries, and would

The 1910 census enumeration
period has been extended for one
more week in Washington to insure
final cleanup of all missing per-
sons, and complete report of the
population of the National Capital.

Northeast Section
Deve|opmentProgra
Presented 10 Planners
A. D. Calvert Suggests
Three Bridges and
A Superhighwoy

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission yesterday
heard suggestions for an extern
sive development program in the
Northeast section of the city, in
Guiding the bridging of the Ana
costa River at two points, spanning
the network of railroad tracks with
a third bridge and construction of
a superhighway virtually crossing
the entire District.
The suggestions were made by A.
D. Calvert, president of the North
east Conference of Citizens Associa-
lions, in letter to the commission
Mr.. Calvert attended a meeting of
the park and planning group yes
terday to expand on some of the
features of the proposals.
Anacostia Span First.
A bridge spanning the Anacostia
at East Capitol street was the No. l
project asked by Mr.. Calvert. He
explained that civic organizations in
the Northeast section long had
sought such span but that he
agreed the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge should be completed first.
Now that the latter project is out of
the way, he said. 1.-The East Capitol
street bridge is essential in formulat-
ing any plan for identifying the
eastern section of the city.
The railroad bridge suggested
would be constructed near the
Brentwood Park area, while the
second Anacostia span projected by
Mr.. Calvert would be located in the
neighborhood of South Capitol
street.
To Consider Suggestions.
The railroad bridge would be
used as connecting link in super
highway which, according to sug-
gestions made by Mr.. Calvert, would
follow the arc formed by the Met
ropolitan branch of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad from the District
Line to Union Station The COM
mission took the suggestions under
Amusement.
Mrs. Frank B. Moves appeared
before the commission to present
for its archives letters and other
papers having to do with the estab-
liShment of the commission, in 1924,
and the work which preceded its
founding. Mrs. Noyes thought that
the documents, which have re-
manned among her personal papers,
should be kept in the commission
files. She was an active supporter
OF the movement which eliminated
in creation of the commission.
The members earlier approved
several contracts and acquisitions
for the George Washington Memo
rial Parkway. Frederic A. Delano,
commission chairman, who presided
at the meeting yesterday, was to
make an inspection tour today with
W.. E. Reynolds, commissioner of
Public Buildings and Grounds,
Federal Works Agency, and other
officials preparatory to selection of
a site for the proposed West Central
Heating Plant.

Traffic Project
On 14th Street

A. A. A. Advisory Unit
Hears Whitehurst on
Grade Separation

Members of the District Advisory
Board of the American Automobile
Association today were envisioning
a grade separation at Fourteenth
street and Maine avenue S.W. as
the only practical means of alleviat-
ing traffic congestion there.
AS presented yesterday by Capt
H. c. Whitehurst, highway director
for the District, at luncheon meet
ing of the group at the Willard Ho-
tel, the project provides for a COM
plete separation Of traffic on the two
streets, together with ramps to take
care of all types of traffic transfer
Describing the intersection as lone
of the highest points in Washing
ton" Capt. Whitehurst said recent
traffic counts showed a normal
everyday traffic of $4,000 vehicles
through the intersection.
High Bridge Traffic.
He added that on typical Sun
day, approximately $4,000 motor
vehicles pass over Highway Bridge,
Key Bridge and Memorial Bridge.
And of this number, 1890 bore Ii
cense plates from States other than
Maryland, Virginia or the District
of Columbia.
Whats going to happen" he
asked, after the Jefferson Me-
mortal and the new Washington Air
port are completed? Why, we anti
cipate 5000 visitors daily to the new
airport alone"
He emphasized, however, that
plans for the project were not final
and asked that the board present to
him any suggestions that might aid
in solving the traffic problem at that
point. The cost of such separa-
ton, he estimated, would be more
than s1,O00,O00.
Safety Education Urged.
An intensive safety program di-
rected toward children in order to
give them thorough understand
ing of and respect for traffic regula-
tons is needed in the District, H. C.
English, assistant director of play
grounds, declared.
Sixty per cent of the total child
accidents in the District, he as
serted, are due to failure to obey
traffic rules, and 81 per cent of
those children involved in traffic
accidents are under 9 years of age
The fact that such accidents &C.
cur largely Immediately preceding
or following the lunch and dinner
hours, he said, indicates need for
increased safety education at home
as we'll as in school.
THE onl yway We can get these
children off the streets and into
the Fairgrounds" Mr.. English con-
tinued, lis to make the play areas
so attractive that they will want to
come there"
He insisted that the solution to
child accidents lies not in more
Fairgrounds but in improving those
already open so that they meet the
child's needs.
AS one means of decreasing acct
dents involving children, he said
the Playground Department is spon-
soring movement for converting
back lots into play areas, so that
children will not have to walk any
great distance to any regular play
ground.
John L. Vandegrift, vice chairman
OF the board, presided.
