About Census Plan

Bureau while Frank Murphy, now
a Supreme Court justice, was At

dropped. He said it was conceived
by an official of another agency"
Senator Tobey asked Mr.. jackson
to tell him:
"O In whose mind this plan was
conceived; CD what reasons were
advanced by the originators of the
plan to justify this power; 90 the
contents of the recommendations of
the Department of Justice when it
submitted the proposed draft to the
Bureau of the Budget; a. why, in a
matter which would so directly af-
feet the interests of the people,

The Cherry Blossom Festival Com

Oriental trees which. in years past,
lend fresh symbolism each spring

The designation was omitted from
current press releases. and last night,
for perhaps the first time in the
history of the festival, members of
the Japanese Embassy staff were not
apparent among the spectators.
Old-timers in Washington re-
called with pleasure the dainty Jap
anese ladies who strolled in bright,
silken kimonas beneath the trees
rich in the tradition of their native
land. The trees symbolized plenty
and a renewal Of life with the COM
ing of spring.
They were given to the people of
the United States in 1910 by the city
of Toxic. Intense cold and occas-
ional floods took their toll of the
original trees, but more than $50 of
them still stand. The groves in years

In brief talk prior to the corona

reference to the weather, adding:
TN presenting this cherry blossom
program, we are not attempting to
rival the appeal of the blossoms
one of the most gorgeous shows of
nature to be seen anywhere in the
world. We merely want to show our
appreciation of the interest in these
blossoms by people all over the
United States.
"The Office Of the Greater Ma

Board of Trade has received thou
sands of letters and kilograms ask
ing when the blossoms would be out.
These letters have been answered
carefully. So, in addition to the
blossoms, we are glad to be able to
present colorful program for two
days to our VISITORS -.
Second Program Tonight.
With the exception of the coro-
nation ceremony. the program will
be repeated tonight. There was the
added attraction of slightly warmer
weather and the prospect that the
blossoms would be at the peak Of
their perfection. with consideration
to Fridays storm and wind, which
were declared to have damaged Is
per cent of the blossoms. Despite
this it was predicted last night the
blossoms will be at their best for the
next five days.
A crown OF buds was placed on
Miss Collif1ower's dark hair last
night by Col. David McCoach, jr.,
District Engineer Commissioner. In
response to a generous round of ap-
plause Miss Collif1ower said, Visit

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Mr. Gus
tave Ring, the originator of large
scale apartment developments. has
completed plans and started work on
enlarging Colonial Village. This new
addition will contain 86 apartments

The success of Colonial Village has
substantiated all of the theories ad-
vanced by Mr.. Ring when he origi-
nally presented this housing devel-
opment idea, the most widely copied
and initiated real estate project in
the country.
He advanced theory that the
housing problem would be solved,
probably as completely as ever pos
sible, If apartment developments
would offer sufficient interest, COM
forts and spaciousness, not normally
incorporated in small developments,

the average income, thereby offering

Colonial Village more space for
their rental dollar.

tive occasion finds this community
