Sees Priority Ratings.

Capt. Whitehurst also said he be-
heved priority ratings also could be
obtained for other major traffic re-
lief projects, since solution of traf-
flc congestion here is so closely
related to expedition of defense
work in the Capital.
Meanwhile, reports persisted that
the S4,500.000 Statler Hotel. now
beginning to be erected at Sixteenth
and K streets NV. would be taken
over by the United States when
it is complete@, if the Office space
emergency still exists when compile
ton day comes.
Word at the District Building was
that this project has been given
priority ratings for materials and
that contractors now have assur-
ance of enough steel for six of the
projected 10 stories of the project.
Priority listings, it was reported,
also have been given for proposed
100000 Potomac Electric Power
Co. building at 33 v street S.W.,
and structure planned by the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. to cost some s250,000.
Other Projects Pend.
Among other projects pending
before District Building Inspector
Robert H. Davis are new Cosmos
Club building on H street between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets
NV, estimated to cost about s400,-
900; an addition to the Y M. C. A.,
about $4,000, and a garage near
the site of the Statler Hotel,
100000.
Morris Cafritz. probably Wash
ington's largest apartment builder,
said he is unable to complete Is
buildings in Southeast Washington,
although the project has priority
rating Mr. Cafritz said the build
ings, containing about IT'S family
units and located at Minnesota ave-
nue. and Thirty-fourth street Sc,
"are Just standing there" He esti-
mated they had been under con-
struction for seven months, while
normally the buildings would have
been finished In three.
Mr.. Cafritz believes the S. p A. b
order will stop all but a "trickle" of
building here.
I'VE just can't expect to build
tanks, ships, airplanes and guns and
keep on with normal building con-
struction," he added. 1T might be
a good thing in the long run. for if
we halt building now there will be
work to do when the emergency is
over This will give us q cushion

placed on the program with the
stipulation that they were to be
carried after the defense emergency,
except in cases recommended Spe-
cifically as necessary for defense.
Undertakings made subject to new
reviews by S. P. A. B. include even
the ST. Lawrence Seaway, recon-
mended by President Roosevelt as
urgent for defense. 1t still is sub
iect, however, to consideration by
the House and Senate, as are others,
among them the s2O0,000,000 Flor
ida ship canal, the S69O00,OOO Tom
bigbee River development in Ala
bama and Mississippi, the s23 900 900
Umatilla Dam in oregon and Wash
ington and the S48,000000 Beaver
Mahoning Canal in Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
The Public Buildings Administra-
ton said that few post offices and
Federal buildings, if any, through
out the country would be affected
by the order, since, on recommended
ton of the President, there mas been
no program for new buildings this
fiscal year.
An Interior Department spokes-
man said he did not believe malor
construction jobs of the depart
ment-such as Grand Coulee Dam
would be affected, since most of
them are vital to defense and have
been given priority ratings. Minor
work of the department, such as
building done by the National Park
Service or the Indian Bureau, will
be curtailed. he said.
c. T. o. Aide Comments.
A. D. Lewis of the c. /. O.'s
United Construction Workers Or
ganizing Committee said he had not
analyzed the order fully but that it
appeared comprehensive enough to
"paralyze" the building industry.
In pointing out the necessity for
S. P. A. BIS sweeping action one
official said that total defense con-
struction has been increasing at
the rate of s1,0OOOOO 900 a month
and that since January the total
monthly amounts of defense con-
struction completed has jumped
from s265, 900. 900 to more than
$500 100000. In that same period
they said an additional 100000
workers had been given employ
ment.
District Highway Director H c.
Whitehurst said he was not wor-
ried about priority ratings for ma
jor elements in the survey plan for
projects to relieve the District s
traffic congestion. One of these ma
jor programs. construction of a
grade separation structure at Four
teenth street and Maine avenue
S.W.. already has been classed as
related to defense
Reported also in the same class
were the projected new artery from

WASHINGTON, Feb. II fF) - Urging passage of the British aid bill with notifications" Wiilkie proposed to the Senate foregn re lations committee that the United States furnish Britain with five to ten destroyers a month.
 The 1940 Republican candidate for presid nt. appearing in the Senate's marbled caucus room, which was packed by hundreds who waited for hours to hear him, he declared in a prepared statement that Britain needs "im mediate and long term" assist ance. He said we should provide Britain with destroyers directly and swiftly rather than through rigamarole and dubious legalis-

German munitions, tanks, guns, and men. The Nazi force is re- ported massed on the banks of the Danube, facing Bulgaria.
 Perhaps significantly, pro-Axis newspapers in the Balkans, de- clared that Bugaria fears that England is about to violate her neutrality" This, recalling the well tried Nazi strategy before Hitler's blitzkrieg legionS struck at the lowlands of the western front last May.
 The Turkish official press urg ed a united Balkan front against a German thrust across Bulgaria while some quarters said the Turks will probably not fight un less her borders are invaded. Others cited Turkeys military al liance with Britain and noted that British officers from the mid dle east command have just fin- lshed inspecting Turkish fortifica tions facing Bulgaria.

 As for notifications, Willkie said il was wise to limit the pro posed aid to the British Common wealth, China and Greece and said in discussing the legisla- tion We mustn't hide important facts and must have the courage to draw the proper differences from these facts.

Assert Bulgaria Fears Danger of English Invasion

UNDATED, Feb. II tP)-Fleets of German transport planes ident flied as the type used to drop Nazi parachute troops in the 1940 blitzkrieg on the western front were reported flashing southward across Hungary in an apparent sequel to Britain's rup- ture of diplomatic relations with Rumania. The planes were report ed speeding in the direction of Rumania and Bulgaria and the Balkan capitals nervously spec ulated that Hitler might be start ng a thrust on Bulgaria for the invasion of Greece or Turkey.
 Informed sources in London said Britain is expected to break diplomatic relations with Bull garia if Nazi troops were admit ted to that Balkan country.
 Dispatches from Budapest said that 31 giant tri-motored planes flew to Budapest alone, sweep ing so low that the markings were plainly visible.
 There was no immediate ex : planation of the hurried rein forcament of Germany's armies massed in the Balkans, which are already estimated to number in the hundreds of thousands.

 A record number of II ,130 con tributors submitted 333,930 fin gerprint cards during December, 1940. These included criminal prints, personal Identification prints, War, Navy and Marine Corps prints, as well as Civil Service prints.
