$4,000 U.S.. Employees
Added Here in II Months

More than $4,000 workers were
added to the rolls here and approx
imately $4,000 in the rest of the
country during the first II months
of 1910, the monthly personnel re-
port of the Civil Service Commits
sion showed today.
AS of November 80, the commits
sion said, 152,605 persons were en-
ployed in the executive agencies

an aggregate of 1,111,530.
Rejecting continued expansion of
defense activities, the report said,
that 1926 employees were added To-
cally in November and 22,233 outside
of Washington. The local monthly
pay roll jumped nearly a quarter
of a million dollars to 1924, ,698,
while an advance of more than
81 $50 900 over the October figure
sent the field roll to $142,144, ,104.
The commission said that locally,
War, Navy, Justice, Commerce and
Social Security had the largest
gains here, and War. Navy, Agri-
culture, Post Office, Interior, Pana-

Davies Sees Inaugural
As Democratic Symbol

The presidential inauguration cere-
monies are intended ito proclaim
that this country, in the face of this
terrific theological conflict and world
war, not only clings to the demo-
cratic faith of the fathers, but can
and will make democracy effective
and strong" Chairman Joseph E.
Davies of the Inaugural Committee
told the Cosmopolitan Club at a
luncheon in the Carlton Hotel
yesterday.
by will of the American people, ~
Mr.. Davies declared, 'the United
States will become not only an
arsenal of military might, but also
a repository of religious, moral and
spiritual conviction, and can and
will sustain those principles of hon.
orable conduct among nations as
well as men, which rules are neces-
sary to create and maintain a de-
cent world in which to live"

Avenue-Side Workers to Lose
Windows as Parade Passes

Hundreds of Government en-
ployes who toll near a Penn

working day will be unable to

Adverse Zone RuIinq
Sets Back Plans for
Crystal City Project
Pleas for Commercial
Area, l30-Foot Height
Are Rejected

Plans for the development of the
proposed $15,000,000 Crystal City
hotel, apartment, theater and busi-
ness project at Connecticut and
Florida avenues have received a
severe setback in rejection by the
Zoning Commission of a petition to
permit a height of 130 feet and
commercial zoning along Connect
cut avenue.
The decision of the commission,
obtained by a poll of its members.
was reported last night by officials
of the commission. Roy S. Thur
man, promoter of the huge project,
had voiced belief there was little
hope for the development unless the
petition was approved by the COM
mission.
However, the Zoning Commission
has scheduled for consideration at
public hearing February a sug-
geStion by John Nolen of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission for a new .zoning claSsi-
fcation for community unit" de-
velopments, which would give some
new leeway to large-scale projects
but which would not permit busi-
nesses or theaters to be placed in
residential zones.
1t had been anticipated that if the
commission adopted this plan as an
amendment to the zoning code, the
promoters of the Crystal City plan
might apply to the Board of Zoning
Adjustment for approval of its prof.
ect, which, it was thought, might
be approved if some changes were
made, including elimination of the
proposed commercial zoning along
Connecticut avenue.
Recently the zoning Commission
withheld final decision on the re-
quested zoning change, suggesting
that the promoters of the project
confer with the Zoning Advisory
Council to determine if changes
could be made in plans which might
meet with commission approval
Thereafter Mr.. Thurman insisted on
early action by the commission.
