Downs Asks Probe
OF Dupont Circle
Lease by U. 5.
House Member Stresses
Difficulties of Tenants
Forced to Move

Representative Downs, Democrat,
Of Connecticut. today introduced a
resolution calling for an investiga-
ton OF circumstances surrounding
the proposed lease of the Dupont
Circle Apartments by the Federal
Government.
Tenants of the building have been
asked to move out by July Is to
make way for office space for de-
fense agencies, and several occu-
pants objecting to the request have
threatened to appeal to the courts
Representative Downs called on
the House District Committee or q
subcommittee to investigate all data
concerning the lease including the
date of the transaction. the terms
of the lease. the consideration paid,
the type and dates of notices served
on present tenants.
In the resolution he pointed out
that the acute housing shortage
makes it difficult and perhaps i'm
possible" for many of the present
tenants to find housing within the
District.
Many of these tenants may be
compelled to find housing facilities
in other cities adjacent to or re-
moved from the District of Colum-
bia involving much sacrifice and
expense" said MIR. Downs. "Evi-
IDENTIFY. no provision has been made
for housing the additional workers
estimated at 1900 or more who are
expected to occupy the Dupont
Circle Apartments as an Office
building of the United States he
continued.
"A very substantial number of the
present tenants of the Dupont Circle
Apartments are now engaged in
defense or other Federal activities.
The leasing of that apartment
building and the eviction of the
present tenants will impede and
obstruct the normal activities of
the Government including defense
activities. The action of the Public
Buildings Branch of the Federal
Works Agency in leasing the Dupont
Circle Apartments is definitely con-
trary to the welfare of substantial
number of Federal workers and has
tendency to impede national de-
fense activities"

BY the Associated Press.
Over objections that organized
labor's rights were imperiled, the
House agreed today TO debate joint
ly the questions of deferring the
military training of men more than
% and of giving President Roose-
welt power to protect workers who
seek to return to their jobs at a
strike bound defense plant.
BY a roll call vote announced as
217 to l48. the members approved
procedure which called for four
hours of general discussion, then
unlimited consideration of specific
amendments to the double -barrelled
bill.
All factions agreed that the draft
deferment question would provoke
no controversy, but one group con-
tended that the members should
be given an opportunity to vote
independently of that on the labor
provisions of the bill.
Representative Hoffman, Republi-
can, of Michigan called on the
President to approve a national
referendum on the question of
whether we should send an Amer
ican eXpeditionary force to fight
outside the continental United
States"
Yesterday said Mr.. Hoffman
President Roosevelt threw of the
mask of hypocrisy, national defense,
behind which he has been hiding
for so long and disclosed himself as
a foe of constitutional government
and an advocate of an offensive
war and of another American eXpe-
dictionary force
representative SABBATH, Democrat,
of Illinois replied that if the test
were made. President Roosevelt
would receive still greater majori-
ties" at the hands of the voters.
Then, like several others, he
called on the members to block
procedure calling for debate jointly
on the questions of the draft defer
ment and the labor provisions.
The labor provisions are the
most drastic" to come before the
House, Mr. SABBATH added, and
should be defeated.

Measure for A. d. A.
Another bill introduced today
would give the District Alley Dwell
ing Authority the legal right of
pledging as security its property and
income for any loans it might pro-
cure from public or private sources.
The bill offered by Chairman Ran
dolph of the District Committee,
also contains several other provi-
sions designed primarily to clarity
existing law with respect to the au-
thority. One, for instance. would
allow the authority to procure in
surance for its protection against
loss or damage arising out of oper-
alton of its properties. Another
would prohibit a writ of garnishment
against the authority.
Backed by Theatrical Interests.
The bill amending the child labor
lava storm center several years
ago-Would authorize the Board of
Education to issue permits to any
child of IA or over to participate in
professional concerts and stage
shows who has completed eight
grades of elementary school instruc-
tions or the equivalent thereto Chill
dren to whom permits are issued,
however, would not be allowed to
work more than six hours a day or
more than "a hours in any week.
Theatrical interests sought the
legislation to permit the public ap-
pearance in Washington of child
prodigies and Juvenile movie stars.
The proposed legislation was Wig
orously fought several years ago by
organizations opposed to any re-
taxation in the child labor law.
In its report to the House the
committee said the Commissioners

both desirable and necessary"
