Pan.American Union
Annex Site Gets
Boards Approval
Fine Arts Commission
Effects Compromise
In Long Controversy

Years of controversy over a site
for a proposed annex to the Pam
American Union appeared a step
nearer solution following approval
by the Fine Arts Commission yes
terday of a plan to locate the annex
Immediately west of the present
union building.
The new plan, which requires
congressional approval, harmonizes
the desire of the union for an annex
with the insistence of Secretary of
the Interior Ickes on protecting the
view from the new Interior Build
ing south to Constitution avenue.
Under the compromise, Virginia
avenue will be closed between Eight
eenth and Nineteenth streets NV.
thus preserving the view from the
Interior Building. Eighteenth
street NV. will be indented slight
ly westward to swing it around the
new annex and Nineteenth street
will be indented eastward about the
same to harmonic with Eighteenth.
Secretary Ickes is reported to ap.
prove this plan.
Authority Given in 1929.
The Pan-American Union has
been interested in an annex since
1927 and received specific authorize
ton to build it in 1929. Original
plans, however. would have located
1t in the triangle Immediately south
OF the new Interior Building. This,
complained Secretary Ickes to Pres
ldent Roosevelt, would block the
view and he was upheld despite the
enabling legislation. 1t is this legis-
latlon on the books, it was ex-
planned, which make the new plan
require approval by Congress.
Meanwhile, various compromise
arrangements were suggested.
Citizens Protest Plan.
In addition to the issues to be
Strengthened out between Mr.. Ickes
and the union, is the feeling of the
citizens of the area. Vigorous objec-
ton to the closing of Virginia ave-
nue. has been made by the West End
Citizens Association, supported BY
presidents of many other associa-
tions
At the time the annex was orig
inally planned for the triangle, a
tunnel was built to the proposed
location, but never used.
Other action by the Fine Arts
group yesterday included considera-
tion of sketches for the new General
Accounting Office authorized by
Congress. Models of sculpture for
the Oscar S. Straus Memorial
Fountain were approved.
Several projects were presented
by officials Of the National Park
Service including a plan for East
Potomac Park and lighting scheme
for the Rock Creek and Potomac
Parkway.

Morgenthau Calls In
Advisers 10 Discuss
Defense Financing
MoeiII and Viner Help
Work Out Treasury
Borrowing Program
D, the Associated Press.


Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau called in two of his favorite
financial advisers today to discuss
methods of raising the billions
necessary for financing the defense
program.
They were Roswell Macgill OF
Columbia University, former Under
secretary of the Treasury, and
Jacob Viner Of the University OF
Chicago.
The financing plan began to take
shape yesterday when Mr.. Morgen-
thau was advised by leading House
and Senate members that they
would introduce and support legis-
lation to raise the Federal debt
limit from $4s, s,O0O, ,000, 900 to $685.
000, 900 900.
Now, Mr.. Morgenthau is seeking
advice from numerous sources or
what types Of securities should be
sold, and what sales methods should
be employed.
He already has indicated he has
plans for selling small denomina-
ton securities, including IS bonds
and possibly 25-cent saving stamps
as was done during the World War
However, ofiicials said that, nat
urally, the bulk of the borrowing
probably would be done through
long-term bonds of the usual 81 1000
denomination.
Extent of the borrowing contem-
plated by Mr.. Morgenthau was
shown in President Roosevelt's ST..
485 .528, ,049 budget for the next fiscal
year, which provided for deficit OF
$9,2l0, ,093 ,049. This deficit will have
to be met from borrowing except tc
the extent that new taxes, also ad-
vocated by the administration, are
enacted.

y. 5. Helps Finland
Through Red Cross
Rather Than Loans
T, Additional Allotment
! Of $500, 900 Made for
/, Food Shipments
6y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States is seeking to
meet Finland's more urgent needs
for food and other relief supplies
Through the American Red Cross
rather than through further gov-
ernmental loans, it was learned to-
bay.
. An additional allotment of $780,
O00 for foodstuffs and other mate
rials has been made by the Red
Cross, bringing to S2,379,000 the
amount of relief shipments already
made or being prepared for Finland
during this winter.
This is far short of the needs esti-
mated by Hjalmar Procope, Finnish
Minister, but authoritative sources
indicated there was no present in
tention to supplement Red Cross re-
lief with a Government loan.
S30.000,0O0 Loan Used Up.
Finland obtained a $4,000 900 Ex-
port-Import Bank loan during the
Russo-Finnish War, which has been
virtually exhausted by purchases in
the United States.
Finnish authorities here were said
to have made informal inquiries
among various Government officials
on the possibility of obtaining fur
ther loans.
With the Export Import Bank en-
gagged now in a large-scale program
of financial assistance to Latin
American republics as a part of
hemisphere defense, however, the
plight of Finland was said to be
looked on more as a relief problem
which could be dealt with by the
Red Cross.
British blockade authorities large
1y control imports into Finland
through the navicert system. They
have announced that passage would
be allowed for such supplies as
may be necessary to meet Finland's
requirements" so long as Finland's
neutrality was beyond question.
British View Cited.
In view of this, British authori-
ties were believed to prefer that
food supplies for Finland be ham
died through the Red Cross, which
has a representative in Finland,
than through direct Finnish pur-
chases financed by an American
Government loan.
The Finnish Minister of Supply,
Vaino Kotilainen, was quoted in re-
cent dispatches from Helsinki as
asserting that the United States
had rejected request for a loan
of 100000.
Officials here, disclaiming knowl-
edge of any formal request for or
rejection of a loan, said the Fin
nish minister probably meant that
informal inquiries about a loan had
been unpromising of results.
Minister Procope submitted a list
Of Finland's urgent needs to Chair
man Norman Davis of the Red Gross
two weeks ago. which included fats,
wheat, cotton and other items.
The new $500,000 allotment will
fill part of the request, it was said,
while additional supplies are planned
during the next few months.

The death of former Secretar,
Of State Thad H. Brown, 1928
1927, which occurred in Cleve
land hospital on February 25th
recalls that he was the first Sec
retary Of State to expedite the
tabulation of Ohio election re
turns. Prior to 1924, Ohio was
always one among the last State:
to report official election results
but in 1924 Secretary Brown
called in officials Of the Associ-
ated Press and with their cooper
alton installed the tabulation sys-
tenn now in use, which has been
1 perfected to such an extent that
Ohio was the first state in the
/ Union to report complete election
returns last year. Col. Brown
was defeated as a candidate for
Governor at the primary election
in 1926, was Ohio campaign man
| ager for Herbert Hoover in the
1928 national campaign and serv-
ed about ten years as member
Of the Federal Radio and Com
munications Commissions, with
headquarters in Washington, DC.
His death reduces the number of
Ex-Secretaries Of State now liv-
ing to FIVE, Carmi Thompson,
i907-l91l; G. @. Hildebrant,
l9l5-1917; G. J. Brown, 1927
1881; w. J Kennedy, 1885 1887,
and G. N. Neffner, 1910. Four
former Secretaries Of State have
passed on within the last year.
Charles H. Graves, George Myers,

According to satisfies recently
