Science Association
Buys Scott Circle
Property for Offices

The American Association for the
Advancement of Science has pur-
chased the triangular property
bounded by Massachusetts avenue,
Fifteenth and N streets at Scott
Circle, and will occupy one of the
five existing structures on the site
until an eight-story building is
erected to house its Offices and affil-
lated scientific organizations here,
it was announced last night.
DR.. Forest r. Moulton, administra-
tive secretary, said the association.
now at the Smithsonian Institution,
will move into the building at 1915
Massachusetts, avenue NV, which
the Air Transport Association ex-
poets to vacate about July l. 1t is
three-story house with 26 rooms
and covers about 40 per cent of the
area. The four other structures with
total of Al rooms are rooming
houses and will continue as such.
Another association official dis
closed that the purchase price was
S147,650 and that the deeds were
transferred several days ago by
four previous owners. He said the
association probably would not
erect its contemplated permanent
home there for perhaps several
years"
Purchase of the property, DR..
Moulton said, climaXed ar aim
which the association has had
since its foundation SO years ago
and resulted directly from an ap-
peal last October to members for
a building fund for a permanent
home. More than 100000 was con-
tributed without any other organ
lied solicitation and without indi-
eating any particular site or city
for the building, he reported. The
property at Scott Circle, which has
9,275 square feet, was bought with
this fund and an available balance
from current operations, but no
part of the associations permanent
fund was used, he said.
Negotiations for the purchase
were conducted by an association
committee consisting of DR.. A. N.
Richards of Philadelphia and DR..
Philip Bard of Baltimore, and the
following Executive Committee
members: Drs. A. j. Carlson, Walter
r. Miles, Burton E. Livingston, Kirt-
ley F. Mather and F. r. Moulton
They were assisted by DR.. Harold
G.. Moulton, president of the Brook
ingS Institution, and Warren E. Ma
gee, association attorney.
Others who assisted in the project
were DR.. c. F. Kettering, association
president last year and now Execu-
tive Committee, chairman; DR.. Ar
thur H. Compton, president in 1912;
DR.. Otis w. Caldwell, vice president
of the. American Security a. Trust
Co. and chairman of the associa-
tion's Finance Committee.

NewHospitoI ConstructionHere
Viewed as Boost for Tydinqs Bill

stone waited to finish his report un-
til after receiving the new health
and hospital survey.
While Mr.. Johnstone has refused
to discuss the nature of his recon-
mendations, it has been reported
reliably that amendments may be
proposed to provide more specific
ally for other hospitals in the city
which may need funds for expan-
sion, renovation or rebuilding.
Something along this line already
is In the Tydings BILL but might
be strengthened, it was said.
Children's Hospital, which origi-
nally had indicated it would become
part of the new hospital center,
but later decided to stay on it's
own site, now is carrying on a drive
for funds to enlarge it's present
plant. 1t might also ask for Fed
eral aid, some persons suggested
Consideration is being given to
some changes in the details of the
plan for financing the new hos
pital center itself, according to
some reports. But the fundamental
principle already approved by the
Senate, of Federal funds to help
the private institutions, probably
would not be altered.
Surveys Criticism Cited.
The recent survey found fault
with the present hospital picture
here "as one almost completely un-
developed in matters of joint action
among the institutions.
"A previous but unpublished study
OF the hospitals here" said the
survey, strongly advocated the de-
Velopment OF central services for
the benefit of all of the hospitals.
We strongly advocate" DR..
Claude w. Munger of New York,
one OF the surveyors, said, central
purchasing to pool the buying power
OF the hospitals as a potent means
of reducing COSTS"
The same argument would applv
directly to the new hospital center
according to William R. Castle, pres
ldent OF Garfield Memorial Hospital
In the new center, he also forsees
savings in a central laundry, heat
laboratories, X-Ray and other ia
cilities.
George A. Garrett, president OF
Emergency Hospital, also empha-
sized that substantial savings would
accrue by Capitalization of services
in the three hospitals.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, Fed
eral Works Administrator, who took
a personal interest in the program
Tor the two hospitals under con-
struction, has been participating in
discussions over the Tydings bill
He approved the principle of financ-
ing the hospitals.

One of the servicemen in the back

Business Rent Control
Hearing Set Thursdoy

A House District subcommittee
VIII hold hearings Thursday on the
Barry commercial rent control bill.
This bill was introduced by Rep
resentative Barry, Democrat, of New
York. 1t would freeze commercial
rents from prices in effect March /,
1912, and extend the control until
December /, 1947.
Mr.. Barry said he had received
many complaints from businessmen
that they were forced to pay exor-
,pltant rents. The Commissioners,
opposing the measure, say the tech
nical help required to administer it
would be too costly for the brief
period it would be needed.

Arbitration Paci
Ends Threat Of
Gas Strike Here
Five-Mon Board
Will Make Final
Dicision on WAGES

Washington Gas Light Co. Off
cials and representatives of two
American Federation of Labor gas
company worker unions yesterday
signed an eight-point stipulation
which places their wage controversy
in the hands of five-man arbitra-
ton board.
Signing of the stipulation ended
the threat of a stoppage of the gas
supply for 100000 Washington area
consumers that had worsened stead
lily in the preceding 48 hours, draw
ing the attention of President Tru-
man and causing the AFL to plead
with the Washington locals to ar
bitrate rather than strike.
The board is to be comprised of
two members chosen by the unions,
two members designated by the gas
company and fifth member to be
selected by Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach. The fifth member
will be chairman.
NAust ShVoSC ny way Id.
Under terms Of the stipulation the
company and the union must name
their choices by May 13. The Labor
Department appointee must be
named within "a hours after the
other four are selected and the
board is to meet within six days
thereafter.
Federal Cancellation Commission
er Lucien F. Rye, who has partici-
pated in the greater part of the gas
company wage negotiations, drew up
the general stipulation and an
nounced the signing of it after sew
eral changes had been agreed on
by the disputants.
Both parties agreed that the two
issues to be submitted to the arbi-
traitors shall concern what straight
time hourly basic wage increase
shall be granted" and whether there
shall be premium pay for Saturdays
and Sundays irrespective of whether
these days are included in en-
ployes' scheduled work-week.
Wage increases fixed by the arbi-
traitors will be retroactive to April
8, 1916, under the agreement. No
other issues may be determined by
the arbitrators whose decision is to
be final and binding on both parties,
the stipulation provides.
Withdraw Strike Notice.
The fuN lyr,innc oro1 co
tional Chemical Workers Union, and
Local 2, Office Employees Internation-
al Union (both AFL), agreed to i'm
mediately withdraw their notice of
strike filed more than a month ago.
During the arbitration proceed
ings, read the stipulation. there
shall be mo lockout, no strike.
whatsoever of any kind whether it
be Shutdown, sit-in, sympathetic,
walkout, continuous session or any
other kind"
The dispute began with demand
by the two unions that in their
pending new wage contract an in
crease of 81 cents an hour for
straight time be granted, plus pre-
for overtime and holiday
work. The company offered what
was in effect a accent increase.
After negotiations, which continued
after the strike notice was filed. the
controversy dead.ocked at a 161k-
cent offer by the company, with
the union down to "a cents.
With the strike notice effective
yesterday, the union representatives
took the issue to the memberships
of the two unions Friday and after
tumultuous sessions throughout Fri
day afternoon and into early yes
