was not discovered at that time, the

operation between the staff and Mr.

Final Clearance Finds
Fund insufficient for
Pan American Annex

| The Fine Arts Commission yes
terday approved the original plans
of the late Paul Cret for an annex
to the Pan American Union Build
| ing. The National Capital Park
and Planning Commission Thursday
had approved locating the building
where Congress originally intended
it should go.
The plan was cleared only a week
after the resignation of former
Secretary of the Interior Ickes, who
succeeded in blocking it for II years
because he felt it might spoil the
vista of the south portico of the
Interior Department from Constitu-
tion avenue.
The new two-story building is to
be patterned somewhat after the
present Pan American Building at
Seventeenth street and Constitution
Iavenue. 1t will provide Office space
of the Pan American staff as well
as exhibition space for cultural ex-
hibits.
Costs Rise in Interval.
1t will be built on the odd shaped
block bounded by Constitution and
Virginia avenues and Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets, where the Two
Jima statue now stands temporarily.
Prior to the war, controversy after
controversy ragged over the location
of the building, after plans were
brought forward in 1884. A tunnel
was run from the present Pan
American Building under Eighteenth
street to connect the two structures.
DR.. L. S. Rowe, director general
of the Pan American Union, said
today he hoped to be able to get
construction under way this summer.
In the IL years the plan was styrnied,
building costs have risen steadily,
he said, to a point where the $3.50, 1000
donated by the Carnegie Corp. for
its construction will fall short of
meeting building costs.
DR.. Rowe said he has requested
the Board of Trustees of the cor
poration to advance the union an
other 100000 to cover increased
costs.
Conditions have become so crowd
ed in the present Pan American
Building, he said. that the union
staff works in the corridors and uses
part of the Hall of the Americas for
office purposes.
RFC Building Plan Rejected.
The Fine Arts. Commission yes
terday disapproved design SUBJ
mitted for the new Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. Office building,
which Jerry Miatico proposes to
build at Connecticut avenue and
H street NV, and requested that
a revised design be submitted.
The commission was reported to
haYe felt the building, which would
meet coming requirements, would
be too high to conform with other
buildings of monumental character
facing on Lafayette Square. Au-
thorlty is vested in the commits
sion by the Shipstead-Luce Act to
control the height, design, color,
texture and other features of build
ings which would face. the Mall,
Lafayette Square, Rock Greek Park
and certain other specified areas.
The commission approved subject
to some minor changes the design
of additional buildings proposed for
st. Elizabeth's Hospital.

tCOnulnueQ from F1rSL Pdge.)
cuses Mr.. Gill of refusing to make
the report. The other accuses him
OF diSobeying orders to stay away
from sessions of the board of in
quiry.
How could Mr.. Gill make a re-
port, when he did not know the
findings of the board of inquiry?"
the defense attorney queried.
Report Covered Escapes.
Mr.. Morris, under defense ques-
tioning, admitted that the Novem-
Der 80 report submitted by Mr..
Gill planned to make the Jail more
secure against future escape at
tempts, if its recommendations were
carried out. Prompted by Mr. Will
son, he also recalled that Mr..
Gill had reported the Jail was un-
safe as early as February 8, 1915.
The welfare chairman contended
however, that the penal superinten-
dent should have listed the causes
OF the last Jail escape.
Mr.. Morris testified the Welfare
Boards Committee on Institutions
recommended Mr.. Gill's discharge
and said this was followed by a
recommendation from the full board
to the Commissioners that Mr.. Gill
be suspended. Asked if he meant
discharged" instead of Suspended,
Mr.. Morris replied that according to
his recollection it was suspended. "
will you state whether or not
you bear any ill-will against Mr.
Gill?" Assistant Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray asked the Welfare
Board chairman.
Absolutely none" Mr. Morris re-
piled. Hes nice fellow"
Nice fellow'-thats damnine
with faint praise" observed Mr.
Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson questioned Mr.. Morris
on Welfare oBard procedures of re-
cording board meetings. He sought
to determine if stenographic tran
script of meetings was written ur
in addition to the official minutes
MIR. Morris, who said he had beer
a member of the board since 1887
said stenographic record was rlade
but whether it was written up ano
kept he did not know.
Meeting Attendance Questioned.
Mr.. Wilson then questioned Mr.
Morris in connection with an In.
stitutions ommittee meeting No.
vernber :. IS to whether Mr.. Gil
and Jail Supt. Claude o. Botkin hat
been instructed not to attend &
meeting of the board making ar
inquiry to the escape.
One of the complaints against Mr.
Gill is that he was insubol dlnat,
IN attending later meeting of tn
board of inquiry committee afte
having been told not to do so.
Is 1t not fact" Mr.. Wilson asked
that Mr.. Gill volunteered tha
he and Mr.. Botkin would not attent
the meeting and that the member
acquiesced to that rather than issu
ing positive instructions?"
MIR. Morris said he rememberet
distinctly" Mr. Gill saying neithe
he nor Mr.. Botkin would be presen
at the later meeting but added h,
was not sure Mr.. Gill had "voiun
teered" the statement He said MI
Gill had been instructed not to at
tend and this instruction was re
affirmed at a later date before tn
subsequent meeting.
