Senate Proposes
Arlington Site for
New U. 5. Buildings
Amendment to Permit
Experimental Farm
Use Approved

The Senate today wrote into the
second deficiency bill authority for
the Federal Works Agency to use the
Experimental Farm, in nearby
Arlington County, as the site for
some of the Governments temporary
new Office buildings
The provision, which will be settled
finally in conference with the House,
marks another chapter in the dis
cussion in Congress for several
months over whether these tenn
porary buildings. to cost S4,100,0O0,
should be kept within the boundaries
of the District.
When the appropriation was first
recommended, the bill gave author
1ty to erect the structures "in or near
the District" The conferees on the
original appropriation bill decided,
however, they should be kept in
Washington, and struck out the
words "or near"
When Government officials began
looking around for available sites
within the District, they decided to
place one of the buildings in the
War College grounds. This en-
countered opposition, and Chairman
Reynolds of the Military Affairs
Committee, who previously has urged
erection of the buildings within the
District, decided it would be unwise
to use the War College grounds, and
agreed to restoration of the original
broader AUTHORITY to include the
Arlington County site.

problems gained during several years
on the subcommittee. During the
past few weeks he followed closely
the hearings on the 1912 bill, and
took an active part with Chairman
overton in revising the House figures
to make better provision for many
municipal needs.
Senator OMahoney is no stranger
to Washington. He was born in
wyoming 81 years ago, but studied
at Georgetown University here
nearly rs years ago, receiving a
bachelor of laws degree in 1920.
Later he received a doctor of laws
degree at Columbia University, New
York. In his early manhood, Sen
ator O,Mahoney was a newspaper
man in Colorado, and in 1916 be-
came city editor of the Cheyenne
State Leader. After the first inau-
guration of President Roosevelt in
1888 he was named First Assistant
Postmaster General, and less than
year later was appointed to the
vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Kendrick. In 1884 he won
the election, and was reelected last
November for six more years.
Overton to- Stay on Subcommittee.
If Senator Overton is elevated to
the Naval Subcommittee chairman
ship, he would not have to give up
membership on the District Sub
committee. Senator Thomas of Ok
lahoma, who three years ago left
the District Craftsmanship to take
over Military Appropriations, has
continued to serve on the District
Subcommittee.

Army Completes Plan
For Typing Blood Of
All Soldier Personnel
Men to Wear Record
On Identification Tags;
Tests Begin in July

After a years delay, the War De-
partment announced today that
plans have been completed for
blood -typing each soldier of the
Army so that transfusions can be
given without the delay required
by blood-typing.
1t was expected that new equip
ment and serum will be ready for
use by mid-July, by which time at
least 100000 men a week can be
typed.
The Medical Department was au-
thorized about a year ago to deter
mine the blood-types of all Army
personnel. Preparation was de-
layed, however, in order to co-or-
,dipate the tests with facilities for
recording the results on the individ-
ual Identification tags the soldiers
wear and to develop a more salts
factory source of blood grouping
serum for performing the tests.
Today the Army authorized the
use of machines that are able to en-
boss the results of each test on the
individuals Identification tag the
instant his blood-type is deter
mined. The machine was said to
be proof.
The old use of human blood sera
in liquid form, which required re-
frigeration. has been abandoned.
An observation period of 30 minutes,
including microscopic readings, was
required.
The new method gives results in 80
seconds and no microscopic reading
is necessary. The dried sera which
will be used can be kept without
refrigeration.
The International or Landstelner
classification will be used and the
results recorded on the tags by the
symbols A, B, ABB or o.

detectives.
In considering the testimony be-
fore your grand jury" the report
stated, "the conclusion is inevitable
that the retail liquor business in this
city is in an extremely chaotic con-
dition, due. principally to ruinous
price cutting. This condition results
from the practice of the distillers
and wholesalers flooding this mar
ket with deals on their own product
wherein the quantity discount on
large purchases has little or no rea-
sonable relationship to cost, and
which deals are within the reach
of only few large liquor retailers
commonly known as cut-rate liquor
stores"
Can Undersell Wholesalers.
The report added this practice
has enabled few retailers to sell
to the public at a price at which
most retailers are unable to pur-
chase from the wholesalers or dis
tillers.
"Cut-throat competition creates
an unhealthy condition and encour-
ages violations of the law" the re-
port continued. This condition is
detrimental to the public interest,
highly reprehensible, and may ulti-
mately tend toward monopoly of the
retail industry by few"

Allies Completely
Surround Palmyra,
British Declare
English Attacks Beaten
OFF on Whole Syrian
Front, French Soy
By the Associated Press.

The British announced today that
they had completed the encircle-
ment of Palmyra, French strong
hold in the heart of the Syrian
desert, but the French countered
with the claim that British attacks
had been beaten off all along the
Syrian front.
In the Damascus and coastal
sectors" communique of the
British Near East Command in
Cairo said, further advances have
been made. In the central sector,
the situation remains unchanged" T."
In Vichy the French claimed to
have inflicted heavy losses on the
Allies. but they also acknowledged
severe losses on their own side.
L. S. Planes Score Victories.
British pilots flying United States
built fighters destroyed five Vichy
French planes in Syria yesterday,
the r. A. F. command reported.
Other aircraft, described by the
communicate as large and un-
identified, also were said to have
been damaged in r. A. r. sweeps
over Syria.
At Palmyra, it said, barracks and
warehouses were heavily raided, at
Aleppo runways and grounded
planes were bombed and at Deir-E
Zor machine-gun fire damaged five
French planes.
On the western desert front,
the British said their bombers
started fires on the Bengasi, Libya,
water front, and have bombed the
Libyan port of Derna and Gazala
air base. The communique said one
raider was missing.
British Declared Stalled.
In the British advance north
from Damascus, apparently toward
the city of HONS where railroad
and desert bus trails cross. the
attackers were stalled south of
Nebek, the French said.
British bombers were reported in
Vichy to have wrecked the Beirut
residence of Gen. Henri Dentz,
French Governor General of Syria
and Lebanon, killing five members
of his guard and wounding four.
Both Gen. and Nine. Dentz we're
said to have been away from home
late Friday at the time of the attack.
British military circles at Ankara
reported that French colonial troops
opposing the British and Free
French drive into the Levant states
from the south apparently were
running short of ammunition. a de-
layed dispatch from the Turkish
capital said.
These sources said, however, three
squadrons of French fighters and
bombers. brought to Syria from
North Africa by way of Sicily and
Greece, had been sent into action
against the British attack on Pal
myra in the desert northeast of
Damascus.
Allies Hold 30 Per Cent OF Country.
The Syrian campaign entered its
fourth week with the British and
their Free French allies installed in
Damascus and in control of about
80 per cent of the country, but with

Senator Overton argued this per-
centage could be determined easily
with mathematical certainty from
year to year. The controversial
question of assessed value was elm
mated by basing the percentage
of payment on acreage alone, and
counting only that part of the park
area in excess of the amount Wash

If it had been adopted. the Over

however, rejected the bill after it

armored forces smashing into the
Minsk region and. to the south,
toward Kiev have created very
serious situation" for the Red Army,
an authoritative London source said
today.
He asserted the Germans had
some basis for claims of encircls-
ment of large Red Army forces.

important rail junction of Dvinsk
and from East Prussia through

This source said this pincer prob
ably closed around Soviet forces,
while a separate drive toward
Minsk developed from farther
south.
1t was held likely the Germans
had followed their usual tactics
by by-passing Minsk to reach the
motor road to Moscow, leaving the
big White Russian capital to be
assaulted by other troops.
The possibility that other Soviet
forces might have been enclrcled

with little opposition. To the west,
however, the Vichy French hold
the Anti-Liban mountain range,
and it is evident that an energetic
attack supported with artillery will
be required to dislodge them.
The situation is similar at the
Damour defenses on the coastal
road miles south Of Beirut and
in the rugged terrain of the central
sector between the Liban and Anti
Liban mountain ranges.
The plan of Gen. Dentz appears
to be to attempt to hold onto this
core of the Lebanon area from
Beirut to Tripoli which runs inland
to the Anti-Liban with its excellent
natural defenses, but to let the
rest Of the French protectorate fall
to the British and Free French with
resistance limited to delaying &C
tions.
The drive into Syria already has
taken longer than the Germans re-
quired to drive the British Army
out of Greece and occupy all that
country.
May Seek Turkish Aid.
Indications grew in Vichy that
Turkey might be asked for aid in
some form in the French defense of
Syria against British attack.
Reports also were current in dip
lomatic circles in Istanbul that
jacques Benoist-Mechin, vice presi-
dent of the Vichy cabinet, was pro-
posing on behalf of his government
that Turkey move into Northern
Syria.
Benoist-Mechin was said to have
suggested that Turkey take the rich
triangle including Latakia, Alep and
Tripoli before the British overrun it,
Earlier it had been reported that
the message consisted of a request
to permit the French to allow sew
eral thousand troops 10 pass out Of
Syria through Turkey en- route home.
Frenchmen To See Inenu.
Whatever Turkey replies to
French appeals for cooperation in
the defense of Syria against the
British, Turkish sources predicted
last night she will sidestep anv
possibility of involvement in the
war.
A meeting has been arranged for
today between Turkish President
Ismet Inonu and Benoist -Mechin
Authorized Turkish sources said
the Ankara government under no
circumstances would allow the
French to send war supplies or
troops into Syria across Turkish
soil but had no serious objection
if the French wanted merely to
evacuate their nationals from Syria
that way.

Chief Justice Hughes was not in
the capital for his final day of the
court. He and Mrs Hughes left

summer in the Canadian Rockies.
He expects to return here in the

spent in answering letters and tele-
grams from friends. Several hun
dred were received.
The white bearded jurist will be
eligible-if needed and he is will
ing-to serve on Federal District

believed however. that he would
not undertake such an assignment.
There also has been speculation
that he might be appointed to some
post-perhaps honorary-in con-
nection with the national defense
program.
He is known to feel, however,
that member of the Judiciary
should not mix in affairs of the
executive department.
The Chief Justice announced on
June 2-after the Supreme Court
had recessed until next October
that he would retire on July l after
serving II years.

Approves Jackson
For Supreme Court
Votes Unanimously
Despite Opposition
Of Senator 7ydines
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
approved unanimously today the
nomination of Attorney General
Robert H. Jackson to be an associate
justice of the Supreme Court.
The committee acted after Senator
Tydings, Democrat. of Maryland had
testified that the Attorney General
was untitled for service on the court
"by character, philosophy and
| judicial temperament"
Senator Tydings contended that
Mr.. Jackson had been negligent"
for refusing to prosecute Drew Pear
son and Robert S. Allen, columnists,
for a 1899 radio broadcast in which
they said the Senator had called
upon the w. P. A. to construct a
road and a yacht basin on the Ty-
dings estate in Maryland. Senator
Tydings declared the assertion was
silly" and amounted to charging
me with larceny"
Refused to Prosecute.
Mr. Jackson followed Senator
Tydings to the witness stand and
said the Justice Department had
refused to prosecute because it
wished to keep the Government "out
of the numerous fights between
newspapers and men in public life"
The Attorney General said an in
vestigation by the F. B. I. had
shown that w. P A. improvements
had not been made on the Senator's
property but road was built to the
Tydings estate and a yacht harbor
adjacent to it."
THE inference is clear that you
were a beneficiary" he snapped
when Senator Tydings challenged
him to prove that the w. P. A. work
had improved the Senator's property.
A few minutes after the COM
mittee had acted Senator Tydings
announced in the Senate that he
would oppose the nomination when
1t reached the floor of the chamber
Wants Action DELAYED.
He asked that the nomination be
withheld from consideration by the
Senate until the testimony taken at
the committee hearings has been
made available for every Senator"
During the committee hearing
Mr.. Jackson quoted a letter to Sem
ator Tydings from o. John Rogge,
Assistant Attorney General in which
Mr.. Rogge said the department be-
lieved jury would acquit Mr.. Pear
son and Mr.. Allen in any criminal
libel prosecution. Senator Tydings
said Mr.. Rogge's review of the in
yestigation was "a tissue of lies"
Mr.. Jackson said he had reached
the conclusion that the columnists'
charges were false but I thought
there was some justification for
thinking they may have believed
them to be true"
The Attorney General said the
department had not undertaken a
criminal libel prosecution under a
1901 District of Columbia statute
since Theodore Roosevelts adminis-
| tration."
Suggested Civil Action.
"As long as I'm Attorney General
the department. will not enter these
fights between public officials and
newspapers" no said. Senator
Tydings' case does not differ in any
way from hundreds of actions in
the civil courts. I told him at the
time that he should prosecute him.
self if he wanted to press the mat
ter, but he wanted the Government
to do it for him"
Mr.. Jackson testified the Justice
Department believed it should in
stitute prosecutions for libel only
when there was a breach of the
peace, or the public interest was
involved"
