School Construction
Bids Again Refused
Due 10 High Costs

/ Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Joseph D. Arthur, jr., said yesterday
the bids received this week for the
addition to the Kimball School and
the Lucy Diggs Slowe School cannot
be accepted because they are above
the authorized cost.
This is the second time the bids
on the two projects have been
turned down for the same reason.
Col. Arthur, who is director of
District construction, said the city
will not 60 to Congress for addi-
tional funds but would wait until
conditions settle down in the build
ing industry.
Last fall parents of children in
the Kimban School at Minnesota
and Ely place Sc. staged q one
day strike to call attention to the
delay in building the addition. The
parents kept their children home
from school and picketed the pres
ent building.
Although increased appropria-
tions were obtained for other pend
ing projects in deficiency bill last
winter, Col Arthur then said this
was done because the estimates
were based on building costs of sew
eral years ago whereas the estimates
Of the Kimball addition and Slowe
School were of more recent vintage
and bore closer relation to present
costs. He thought then that accept
able bids might be obtained this
spring.
Low bidder this time for the KIM
ball was $418,000 with auditorium
against $4,000 authorized by ap-
preparation of which only 1886 900
is available for construction. The
difference is for equipment. With
out auditorium, the bidder would
charge $4,000.
For the Slowe School, the same
company, J. D. Hedin Construction
Co. OF Washington, bid $4,000
against an authorized $167 900.

Robertson Declares
British Loan Is Step
To Lasting Peace
BY the Asseeia'ed Press

WINCHESTER, Va, Mar. 30
Representative Robertson, Democrat,
of Virginia said last night that the
proposed loan to Great Britain was
another step in our program for a
lasting peace"
In a speech prepared for a town
hall meeting, Mr. Robertson said
that if the proposed loan were moth
ing but money transaction" the
suggestion that we could not afford
to lend so large a sum ($3, ,750, ,0O0,-
000) to a foreign nation might be a
persuasive argument against it.
But when all of the combined
reasons in favor of the loan are TAX
en- into consideration such an argu-
ment loses significance"
Mr.. Robertson said that President
Truman's plan to negotiate the Brit
ish loan was highly controversial
when first proposed" but now was
generally accepted as q wise thing
for us to do"
Never In my recollection, he
added, "has a major international
proposal been so widely indorsed by
such divergent groups" ~.
Mr.. Robertson said that England
desired to continue to be "our best
customer" but could not possibly
do so without money to rehabilitate
her industries at home and money
with which to secure a release from
the debt obligations to the sterling
area abroad"
