Injunction Sought
Against Smoot Corp.
On Wage Charges
Administrator Fleminq
Acts TO Holt Alleged
Woee-Hour Violations

A suit for an injunction to enjoin
the Smoot Sand & Gravel Corp.
1920 K street NV, from violating
the wage and hour law was filed in
District Court yesterday by Gen.
Philip B. Fleming, administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division of the
Labor Department.
The complaint alleges that the
sand firm has violated the minimum
wage provisions and the overtime
compensation provisions of the act
while engaged in interstate COM
merce. The company also was ac-
cused of failing to keep adequate
records of the hours worked and
wages paid its employees.
A civil suit is pending in District
Court. charging the firm violated
the Sherman antitrust law by
having an illegal monopoly. This
suit was filed recently after a Dis
trict grand jury failed to take action
on evidence which the Federal
Government presented regarding
the company.
Gen. Fleming's complaint con-
tended that the company has been
paying its workers less than 25 and
80 cents an hour, in violation of the
law, and working them longer than
A hours without payment for over
time.
The Wage Hour Division said the
Smoot firm has its principal place
of business and its plants and ter
minals in the District, and obtains
its sand and gravel from the
Potomac River and from privately
owned or leased deposits in the Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia.

Driver Freed in First
Negligent Homicide
Case Since Summer
directed Verdict Aequits
w. S. GoodIoe in Death
Of F. w. DuvoII, II

A directed verdict of not guilty
was returned today by a jury in the
negligent homicide case of Winston
S. Goodloe, 10, of the $500 block of
Legation street NV, whose auto
mobile fatally injured Frederick w.
Duvall, 72, of the 2400 block of
Thirtyseventh street NV. last No.
vember on Wisconsin avenue near
the Washington Cathedral.
The case was the first negligent
homicide case to be tried since last
summer, list of some 20 cases
having been held up pending a re-
cent decision of the Court of Ap-
peals, which ruled the Negligent
Homicide Act constitutional. The
directed verdict was ordered by
Judge Hobart Newman after the
court had been asked for such a
verdict by F. j. Icenhower, defense
attorney, who claimed the Govern
ment had failed to prove any act of
recklessness or negligence on the
part of the driver.
Crossing Outside Crosswalk.
Mr.. Duvall, it was brought out,
was crossing Wisconsin avenue out
side of a crosswalk. Judge Newman,
in considering the defense request,
read from the traffic regulations
paragraphs regulating pedestrians as
follows:
Every pedestrian crossing a road
way at any point other than within
marked or unmarked crosswalk
shall yield the right of way to
vehicles upon the roadway.
No pedestrian shall use any road
way between intersections when a
vehicle is approaching from either
direction so as to constitute a hazard
for his own safety or use such road
way at any time in a negligent or
reckless manner"
Not Sufficient Evidence.
The jurist said that under all
circumstances there was not sufi-
cient evidence of negligence or
reckleSsness on the part of the driver
to warrant conviction.
Assistant District Attorney A. J..
Mclaughlin argued that operation
OF the automobile in defective con-
dition constituted negligence on the
part of the driver.

Federal RectangIe
Plan Is Referred
To Committee
Commission Says 1t
Is Best Presented in
13 Years Of Effort

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has referred
to it's Co-ordinating Committee fol
further study the Downer-Clarke
plan for development of vast Fed
eral rectangle east of the Capitol
The action was taken yesterday
after the planning group announced
through its secretary, Thomas S
Settle, that it regarded the scheme
is the best brought to its attention
in 13 years of endeavoring TO arrive
at a satisfactory method of improv-
ing the East Capitol street area.
Formulated by Jay Downer and
Gilmore D. Clarke, consulting archi-
tects, the plan was drawn up at the
request of the Planning Commission,
the District government, the Public
Roads Administration and the Pub
lie Buildings Administration after q
series of conferences in which all
participated. Engineer Commissions
er Col. David McCoach and Capt. H.
c. Whitehurst, District director OF
highways, were among those voicine
approval of the scheme, Mr.. Settle
said.
Land Aquisition Proposed.
In its present form, the Downer-
Clarke plan proposes that the Fed
eral Government acquire most Of the
land lying between Second and
Nineteenth streets east of the Cap
itol, and bounded by B street NE.
on the north and B street Sc. on the
south. The tract would be dedicated
to a vast rectangular grouping OF
Federal Office buildings, Mr.. Settle
said.
The commission secretary said the
plan entailed closing both A streets,
NE. and Sc, to provide room for
the Office buildings. Their erection
would be on scale which would
dwarf the present Federal triangle,
he said. The plan also calls for
widening to 240 feet between build
ing lines both B streets and East
Capitol street. Thus three super
thoroughfares would take the place
of the five streets now in use.
Mr.. Clarke being chairman of the
National Commission of Fine Arts,
there is reason to believe that body
would approve the plan.
No Discussion of Costs.
Mr.. Settle said there had been no
discussion of cost. He also said
nothing had been brought up re-
garding the disposition of several
mirror structures in the area to be
affected, including the Folger
Shakespeare Library, the Methodist
Building Ava Belmont House and
Eastern High School
New Government buildings SINH
lar to those along Constitution ave-
nue. are visualized in the Downer-
Clarke plan. Nj. Settle said the
buildings would provide 2,500,000
square feet of office space, adding
that at present the Government is
renting some 100000 square feet
of Office space in the city at cost
of nearly $4,000,000
The present arrangement of build
ings on the outer side of both B
streets would not be disturbed, Mr..
Settle said.

ton proceedings where the objec-
tlonable strike promoters are aliens
During the World War, it was
pointed out, President Wilson dem
onstrated the Governments power
to say who shall work at vital jobs
by barring from war industry en-
ployment men refusing to accept a
strike arbitration award.
Under the unlimited. emergency,
some officials said, President Roose-
velt's powers are almost as great as
If war existed.
On the question of Furnishing
strikers who refuse Mediation Board
settlements, Chairman Summers of
the House Judiciary Committee said
he thought such legislation would
have a salutary effect in the current
situation. He added a bill along
those lines might materialize in the
near future.
Other legislators who have been
studying the problem closely for
some weeks expressed belief that
local labor leaders would be slow to
spurn the boards recommendation
when it would mean the nullifica-
ton of all the rights that the
workers had won over the years.
They also pointed out that a leader
VINO Kept his men on strike under
the circumstances would not be en-
Titled to recognition as the collective
bargaining agent for the men.
The proposals for enactment of
drastic penalties against any sub
verslye activities that promote de-
tense strikes came from both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans today in the
midst OF Senate controversy over
the form of a policy declaration
condemnlng production stoppages.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
oama, the majority whip, recon-
mended that Congress put teeth"
into the penal statutes to deal with
the subversive elements" he said an
peared to have been active in some
walkoutS."
Agreeing with Senator Hill that
prompt action was needed, Senator
'aiIueIlperg, HepuDncan, OF Mich
igan said he was convinced that the
pending measure by Senator Con-
nally was not the answer to the
strike situation"
1T goes much deeper than that"
Senator Vandenberg told reporters.
There is no doubt that Communists
and subversive agents are agitatlng
some of these strikes. The plant
seizure bill might provide them with
diagram Of action under which
they could provoke strikes in order
to bring about naturalization of
industry"
There have been reports that ad-
ministration leaders might draft
legislation aimed at curbing subver-
slve activities, but Acting Majority
Leader Byrnes said this had not vet
got beyond the discussion stage.
