Lunhum Announces
Reynolds Will Be
First Witness
BY RUDoLPH KAUFFMANN u

by hUDOLPH KAUFMAN II
Chairman Lanham of the House
Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee said last night that hearings
on the Federal Works Agency bill
to authorize more than 1914, ,0O0, ,00O
worth of Federal building construc-
tion throughout the country, $780,
100000 of it in and near the Dis
trict, will open at 1890 am. We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Lanham, who introduced the
bill Friday, said Public Buildings
Commissioner w. E. Reynolds will
be the first witness.
G. S. Underwood, PBA supervis-
ing architect, said yesterday no de-
tailed plans and engineering studies
have been made for any of the
buildings except the first of two
proposed General Accounting Office
buildings, an excavation for which
already has been made in the block
bounded by G, H, Fourth and Fifth
streets NV.
Basic Plans Changed.
He and staff members of the Ma.
tional Capital Parks and Planning
Commission, which is charged with
fitting new buildings into the over.
all plan for Washington, revealed
several changes in basic plans hith.
erto not made public.
The area now occupied by tn,
old Naval Hospital, which would fal
midway between the proposed new
War and Navy Departments, is be.
ing considered as a possible location
for Franklin Delano Roosevelt
memorial and, in addition, may be
the site of planetarium and 6
relatively small building to house
the headquarters of any joint de.
partment of national defense which
might be authorized by Congress.
Again, there are alternate plans
for new State Department in the
block north of the present building
one which would require the en-
tire block for the building, and a
second which would spare the his
toric Blair and Decatur Houses.
Additions to GAO Building.
Additions to the General Account
ing Office building already started
would be in the blocks f1anking the
first building. All buildings would
be connected by tunnels.
President Roosevelt wanted plans
for the Navy Department building
to include "a naval museum and a
basin for historic ships. These, ac-
cording to the latest plans, are not
included in the SAC, 5000 for a new
building which would be author
ized by the bill.
A s20,00O,000 general office build
ing to house the FBI and other
agencies may be placed on the north
or south side of Lincoln Park.
Mr.. Underwood said that until
the bill is passed he could not pre-
pare designs for the buildings and,
hence, could merely discuss their
location.
He said he did not know if they
would take the form of wing-type
buildings, like the new Interior De-
partment or block-type buildings
Much more space, he said, could be
included in block-type buildings for
the same price than in wing-type
buildings, and, with modern light
ing and air conditioning, they could
be as comfortable.
He added, there is a psychological
effect to be considered.
Some people have to be able te
see window or they don't feel right
about it." he said.

By the Associated Press,
Mai. Gen. Norman T. Kirk said
yesterday the prospective return of
thousands of soldiers from Malaria
regions should cause no alarm.
Appealing for a better under
standing" of the problem, the
Arnly's Surgeon General stressed
that the malaria infected man is
mo menace" to his family or COM
munity and, with proper care. will
have little difficulty himself.
In the majority of cases, Gen.
Kirk said, the disease runs its course
after the victim has suffered a few
relapses, and no permanent dam
age is done. In 1000 cases, about
one-third will have one attack; 40
out of the 1000 may suffer 10 re-
lapses and only about one will have
as many as 20.
Gen. Kirk emphasized that the
disease can be spread only by the
anopheles mosquito and that the
mosquito cannot transmit the dis
ease unless it has bitten an infected
person during a relapse and before
medical treatment has been OBJ
tanned.

George Hopes Senate

OF Trade Program
Ry I. A. O,LEARY.

Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee expressed hope
last night that the Senate will pass
three-year extension of the Re-
I.ciprocal Trade Act, with the discre-
tionary power asked for by the ad-
ministration to cut tariff rates
below the 1945 level.
Informal polls indicate the COM
mittee may eliminate the additional
rate-cutting authority before re-
porting the bill this week, but Sem
ator George made it clear if that
happens he will fight for its restora-
tion on the floor.
The Georgia Senator did not at
tempt to forecast how the committee
would vote, but told reporters:
Il am hopeful the Senate will
pass the bill in much the same form
that it came from the House and
not upset the program under present
conditions"
Il can understand the fears of
some industries and the argument
that in these unsettled times we
ought to move cautiously" the Sen
ator went on, referring to the op-
position in some quarters to fur
ther tariff reductions. But don't
think we face any great threats
from foreign importations during
the next three years. Indeed it
may be problem to stimulate in
ternational trade back to normal
within that time"
Hearings will continue tomorrow
and Tuesday. Among the remain
ing witnesses will be the newly ap-
pointed Secretary of Agriculture,
