NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 1.-THE

voted today to seek formation of
an nter-association council repre-
senting clerks, treasurers, sheriffs,
commissioners of revenue, trial JUS
tlces and commonwealth ATTORNEYS
to act as "a clearing house of ILL

The resolution, advanced by H

recognized the adverse effect of
independent solicitation of State
legislators by individual officehold-
ers associations.
In this connection, Mr.. Green
further urged an advisory COM
mittee composed of members OF
the Governors advisory council. the
Governors Budget Committee. the
attorney generals office, and from
the House of Delegates and the

would meet with the advisory coun-
Gil to integrate information and

Committee Changes
BY the Assoeiofed Press

A reported move among some sen
ators to delay or nullify many pre-
cedent-upsetting changes in the ney
Congressional reorganization lay
ran into stout opposition from
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
yesterday.
Senator Byrd, chairmans of tn,
Rules Committee, told a reporteI
he will resist any effort to della,
effectiveness of a provision of tht
bill telescoping 33 standing Senate
committees into Is.
There is evidence some legisla.
tive leaders seek a gentlemen s
agreement" by which this and other
streamlining changes in Congress
machinery might be delayed at least
81 DAYS when tie 80th Congress
meets in January.
Revocation Sought.
There also has been talk of action
In the Both Congress to revoke many
OF the alterations and to leave ar
increase in pay and allowances tt
$4,000 yearly, and pension pro-
vision, as the only major provision
Of the law
Senator La Toilette, Progressive
Republican. of Wisconsin, CHIEF
Senate proponent of the re-organi-
zatlon measure, was defeated in the
primary and won't be back to bring
the proposed forms into reality. But
Senator Byrd said if any move de-
velops to make major alterations
In the pattern, he will fight it.
Congress has voted to re-organize
Its machinery, and it ought to &c
through with it." the Virginia SEN
ator declared. Il think the pro-
vision cutting down the number OF
committees will be especially bene-
flcial and I'm going to fight to see
that 1t goes into effect"
Any resolution proposing to delay
effectiveness of the new regulation
Will be handled through the Rules
Committee Senator Byrd now heads.
Congressional aides estimated it
Will bdhC dDouL OU UdbS 10 TeOrpdn-
ize and get the new committees
functioning in both houses. That
probably will delay all except emer-
gency legislation for the first month
the new Congress is in session.
Seniority to Prevail.
Although committee chairman
ships in the House will be decided
by a vote of the members. under
the new law, Majority Leader Bark
ley has indicated that seniority will
continue to prevail in the Senate.
This means that Southern Demo-
Gratis who have the longest unbroken
record of Senate service will con-
tinue to head most of the Senate
committees if that party retains a
majority In the body.
With each Senator limited to
membership on two committees-ex-
cept that those on the District of

After wartime decline in num-
bers, the 127 900 shade trees which
have set Washington apart as a
beautiful city for IS years will soon
be on the increase again
During the last three fiscal years
the total number of trees decreased
by more than 500, despite replant-
ing. There were not men enough
to replace all trees which died OF
natural causes or fell victim to
urban progress.
With the end of the war, how
ever, District trees and parkings
officials have mustered an adequate
labor force and are embarking on
revitaliZed tree care and replace
ment program designed to increase
the number of city trees by 1000
during the year which began July /
Washingtonians worried about
those gaps in the trees leafy green

assurance of John w. Batson, new
superintendent of trees and park
ings, that replanting will be done
as quickly as possible.
1928 Lost in Widenings.
Specific examples OF street widen
ing which have stripped out trees
are the Twentieth and Sixth streets
NV. and M street Sc. projects
now in progress. A total of 1913 trees
had to come down to permit this
work, but Mr.. Batson, of whom more
will be told in another article
promises speedy replacement.
"As soon as the weather permits
we IL be on the job," Mr. Batson
stated yesterday. Furthermore
were going to put in a better type
of tree wherever possible, hard wood
varieties which last longer" Tree
transplanting, he explained, must
be done in the winter months II
the trees are to thrive.
After completion of tree replace
ments made necessary by current
street work, tree officials say they
will turn their attention to filling
neglected gaps in established rows
Fourteenth street, scheduled for
early consideration, is typical Of
traffic arteries with many empty
tree spaces.
Mr.. Batson says his men will
start at Pennsylvania avenue and
work north, replacing trees wher-
ever the gaps occur"
Similar unsightly gaps also exist
along Sixth, Eleventh, Twelfth ano
Thirteenth streets NV, all o1
which were widened in the last five
years. These, too, will be filled ir
with trees as soon as the season
permits.
Trimming Given Attention.
Trimming, which also fell behind
during the war. will be given new
attention. Aside from it's value tt
the trees themselves, this pruning
also will be directed toward raising
the limbs higher above the streets
and cutting them back from houses
The Chevy Chase area will be
among the first sectors thoroughly
trimmed.

, ment. This factor has been felt
only in the downtown area, but it
remains an ever-increasing threat
to the trees. 1t boils down to the
unacceptable fact that as the city
grows commercially its trees yield
to this development.
| Illustrative of this trend is the
city's heart section" along E, F
and G streets NV. E street is bare
of trees between Seventh and Thir-
teenth streets, F street between
Ninth and Fifteenth streets and G.
street between Ninth and Thirteenth
streets.
| The stretch Of r street In ques-
ton never had trees. It's CONNER
cial development had progressed so
far when systematic tree planting
was first begun In 1872 that placing
them there was impractical The
companion portions of e and G
streets, however, once did. But as
commercial and business establish
ments increased, the trees gradu-
ally disappeared.
Vaults Crowd Out Many.
Trees disappear with commercial
development principally because of
vaults. These ex-
cavations are usually found along
streets which have been Widened to
accommodate increased traffic flow,
thus reducing the margin between
curb and building line. Digging the
vaults literally squeezes out the
trees.
Driveways, too, threaten the trees,
though to lesser extent. Installa-
ton of such a paved crossing of the
curb area means removal Of any
tree in its path. 1t has been pos
sible to avoid loss of trees to drive
ways in many cases, however, by
moving a tree to one side. Then,
though the symmetry of the tree
line is broken, the number of trees
is not reduced.
OF approximately 1.400 trees which
| died during the past fiscal year, fully
600 succumbed to Illuminating gas.
This insidious foe is undetectable
Escaping into the ground from a
broken or leaking main, the gas at
tacks the trees roots and slowly
kills it,
800 Killed by Motorists.
Second to gas in the number of
tree casualties caused is the auto
mobile More than 300 trees died
last year after being knocked down
or marred by motorists. Such VIC
Tins are replaced in time, but trees
are transplanted in the spring or
fall, and a gap occurring in any
other season is not quickly filled
Moreover, the money spent on such
UNNECESSARY casualties might be
used elsewhere.
