quest for $780, 900 will be forwarded
shortly to the Commissioners by
Howard B. Gill, superintendent of
penal institutions, for the District
Jail in an effort to overcome many,
Of the criticisms directed at the in
stitution earlier this year by the
Rover Committee.
This proposed request, Mr.. Gill
said yesterday, would cover con-
struction work on the main build
ing, new storehouse, Il dining
room with cafeteria service and an
addition to the wall of the recrea-
ton yard which would double it's
size.
Plan Second Story.
Tentative plans, he said, have
been made for a second story in
the central rotunda which would
serve for church services and mo-
ton pictures. In it's report, re-
leased in April, the Rover Commit
tee said that it considered the omis-
sion of chapel in the Jail IAN un-
fortunate oversight"
BY shifting visiting rooms else
where, Mr.. Gill hopes to have a
dining room in the rotunda for
men awaiting trial These men now
eat, it was said, in the central court
yard in the center of the cell block,
which was described as insanitary.
A new central storehouse. the
superintendent said. would replace
some Is places scattered about the
yard. He said at present it is i'm
possible to keep track of the stuff"
Reports Progress.
Mr.. Gill reported progress in re-
iaXati of rules for the telephone
panel communication system, in
which inmates. partly concealed. can
converse with visitors only by
means of telephone. Mr.. Gill con-
demned the system, whose abolish
ment was called for by the Rover
Committee. The committee sug-
geSted that system be provided
where under proper supervision in
mates may talk with and be seen by
their proper visitors without the
severe restrictions now required by
the present system
Mr.. Gill said a complete rehabil-
itation program would have to wait
for the end of the war, but that he
hoped the construction work pro-
posals to be presented to the Com
miSsioners could start shortly after
the new year

RED THREAT,

Soviet Troops Make Big
Crossing Of Visfula
Near Warsaw

LONDON, Aug. 10--A grave new
Russian thanking threat to both
East Prussia and the Warsaw
areas, west of the upper Narew
River, a famous battle-ground of
the last war, was disclosed in a
German communique.
"West of the upper Narew River
repeated Soviet attacks were either
beaten off or checked" said the
Berlin bulletin.
The German radio also reported
Russian troops across the Vistula,
only 25 miles southeast of War
saw, the nearest crossing to War
saw yet reported. The report said
that Soviet troops have succeeded
in establishing a bigger bridgehead
across the Pilica River which
flows eastward into the Vistula be-
low the Capital.
The dispatch underlined the i'm
mediate thanking threat south OF
Warsaw as well as north OF the
Narew, where Falkenhayn broke
the Russian lines 20 years ago,
and forced the armies of the Gear
to evacuate Warsaw.
The salient meanders near the
south border of East Prussia, gen.
orally five to fifteen miles away.

The W ashington
Merry Co. Round
By DREW PEARSON
d.t Col. Robert 8. Allen now on active
service with the Army

WASHINGTON row inside
the War Production Board over
peacetime conversion is basically
between big business and little
business. but some interesting per-
sonalities have come back to Wash
ington and taken unique sides in
the fight. One is Sidney Weinberg,
partner in the giant investment
banking firm of Goldman-Sachs OF
New York.
Essentially, the big manufacturers,
such as General Motors, Du Point,
General Electric and Curtiss-
Wright, which have secured the
great bulk of war business, want
to hold up peacetime conversion
until they can finish their war
orders. They don't want other
firms to get a head start. Their
friends inside the War Production
Board, led by charming Charles E.
Wilson, efficient head of General
Electric, have fought tooth and nail
for this position.
But WPBoss Donald Nels on
maintains that little companies
which don't get the breaks on war
orders should be given chance
for at least some peacetime orders.
Several weeks ago, Wilson sug-
gested to Nelson that an old friend,
whom both of them could trust,
wanted to come back to Washing
ton-namely, Sidney Vein er G.
Nelson gladly acquiesced. Vein
berg, a director of Nelson's old
firm, rs-Roebuck, had helped
him during the early WPB battle
with the Army. A former sleuth
in Naval Intelligence during World
War I, Weinberg used to be known
as Nelson's Ratchet man.
But in his recent tour of WPB
duty, Weinberg has sided with big

Picking SpIinfers in
Platform Of Z Great
Parties Now Going On
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. l0.--It would
be interesting to know how many
voters actually read the platforms
of the party they subscribe to-.
Even professional politicians admit
it probably is a minute percentage
of the electorate.
The Republican platform this
year runs to around 4,500 words,
the Democratic to around 1900
This brevity ON the part OF the
inns" is not new The Tins point
with pride and mainly stand on
their record. The outs view with
alarm. 1t takes more words to
view with alarm than point with
pride.
But dom think platforms are un-
important. The first major party
platform was written 104 years ago.
The Democrats had renominated
Martin Van Buren, and adopted
nine articles" seven Of which be-
rated the opposition. The other
two were positive statements Of
policy The eighth article was one
which practically every platform of
both parties has continued ever
since. 1t was a declaration that If
elected, the party representatives
would do everything in their power
to reduce the cost of government.
Only once in the last century
has a party tried to ditch the
platform. In 1888, Grover Cleye-
land, then President, had himself
renominated and let it be known
that no matter what the Republic
cans said or who they nominated
he would stand on his record.
Cleveland was defeated. That po-
litical technique has. never been
tried again
Few historians have delved into
the story OF party platforms. David
Hinshaw, New York publicist, has
made it something of hobby. He
admits that it sometimes is like
wandering through a graveyard of
dead issues" but he finds much
fascinating in the trip, too.
His conclusion is that If both
parties would be absolutely honest,
