day asked Commissioner Mason to
have plans and specifications pre-
pared for installation Of q sprinkler
system in the District Home for
the Aged and Infirm at Blue Plains.
Following his visit to the home

the fact that the building was not
fireproof and had no sprinkler
equipment. He stated he wanted to
submit q sprinkler estimate before

is needed" he wrote. but I also
realize the responsibility on all OF

purchased must be supplemented BY

there must have been Q misunder-
Olding. Mr.. Clapp pointed out
that the Board of Public Welfare,
at its last meeting, had authorized
an increase in the cost limitation

Mr.. Clapp said he conferred with
Mr.. Cass on the matter and was
told scent increase would be ade-

Ring Roads 70 Speed
Traffic Outlined 10
Architectural GROUPS

Circumferential highways or ring
roads" which might pay for them
selves as they speed Washington
trafflc, were discussed last night at
a joint dinner meeting Of three
architectural groups in the Dodge
Hotel.
The idea of at least two such pro-
jects evoked considerable interest
when explained by Louis Justement,
architect, before the Washington
chapters of the American Society
of Landscape Architects. the Ameri-
can Institute of Planners and the
Landscape Architects Club of
Washington.
One of the proposed circum-
ferential highways would originate
in the vicinity of Florida avenue
NV, and make a semi-circle to
Constitution avenue, reaching Its
destination without cluttering up
the business section.
Route of Second Outlined.
The second road, it was explained,
would originate in the vicinity Of
the Bureau of Standards, on upper
Connecticut avenue and cross the
Potomac over a new bridge about
halfway between Key and Chain
bridges. to Arlington County. It
lweulds touch the. vicinity of WASH
ington National Airport, again cross
the Potomac, going towards East
Capitol street, finally proceeding
through the Northeast to the North
west a1id back stn the Bureau oi
Standards.
Mr.. Justement said that, in line
with the idea, some 1000 feet of
land on each side of the proposed
highways would be purchased by the
city and rezoned for apartment
houses, industrial projects, housing,
Federal buildings and other develop
ments, which in turn would defray
the cost of construction to a con-
siderable extent.
1t also would permit any neces-
sary decentralization of Federal
buildings, it was. said, because, in
line with the advanced traffic facili-
ties. it would be practical for work.
ing people to travel longer distances
to their places of employment. In
addition, he said, ring roads" would
develop new neighborhoods.
Grant Cites Balance Plan.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, chair
man of the National Park and Plan
ming Commission, told of the ad-
vantages of the East Capitol street
area as a site for institute buildings
and Government establishments.
Gen. Grant pointed out that re-
sulting building of apartment houses
and rebuilding in the East Capitol
area, such as has taken place in the
Northwest, would "do the city good"
Other speakers were Earle Draper,
landscape architect, who talked on
Regional Development" and Paul
IOpperman, planning consultant.

Serious Defects
in Homes
Al viers Mill
Foundations Already
Disintegruting, House
Unit Told by Architect

A Silver Spring architect told q
congressional committee today that
serious defects exist In construc-
tion Of the low cost viers Mill VII
lage near Wheaton, Md
The architect, David b. Johannes,
testified before House Expendi-
lures subcommittee which opened
hearings on charges that homes
being offered veterans At the prof.
ect are over-appraised and faulty
constructed. The project includes
1,400 homes, offered for sale at
$500 each. About $50 have been
sold.
Earlier, Representative Beall, Re-
publican, of Maryland asked the
committee to investigate the entire
appraisal system which the Federal
Housing Agency and the Veterans
Administration use to determine
value in guaranteeing CT home
loans.
Critieizes Foundations.
Mr.. Johannes, who said the COM
mittee asked him to examine the
project, leveled strongest criticism
at the cement foundation of the
homes.
while some were perfectly sound,
we were dismayed to find that many
foundations literally are disinte-
grating" he said. Mr.. Johannes
exhibited two large chunks of ce-
ment. which he said he was able to
remove from foundations with his
hands.
Asked II the foundations could be
corrected, he said that would seem
to him like putting a coat of paint
on rotten piece of board"
Threatened With Suit.
In answer to question, Mr.. Jo-
hannes said he was threatened with
a lawsuit for making statements
about the project by an employe OF
the Harris Construction Co., the de-
velopers. He said he could not iden-
tify the man.
Mr.. Johannes partner, Loren Muir.
ray, said he placed construction
costs Of each of the / 400 homes at
$1,000.
He said plans for the homes seemed
to be complete and blamed Govern
ment inspectors for not keeping
close check on construction.
IF all the foundations had been
good" he said, "and the builders had
put about $50 more into the interior
of each home, there should be no
kick coming about construction. But
the cost Is still too high"
Says Chimneys "Sway."
Mr.. Johannes also told the COM
mittee that chimneys in the homes,
set flush on basement floors,
"swayed alarmingly" when pushed.
He saidhe also found that:
~ Wall materials around bath
tsf1bss were water absorbent instead

NIT water to seep through.
2. Closets were not deep enough
to meet FHA standards.
3. Some basement stairways did
not have adequate head clearance.
s, Mr.. Beall told the committee he
had asked for the investigation be-
cause of complaints from citizens
and public officials Of Montgomery
County. He said private prelim-
mary investigation led him to be-
lieve the project is more or less
typical of some started and some
completed In various parts Of the

Voted by Miller
Subcommittee il
Child Care Program,
OptometY Measure
Also Approved
By Harold B. Roqers

The Miller subcommittee today
reported favorably to the full House
District Committee the recently re-
vised bill to deal more stringently
with sex offenders here.
No amendments were made by
the subcommittee in Its unanimous
approval Of the final draft. The
bill had been changed several times
during . long series Of conferences
among the committee, District OH
cials. the Office of the United States
Attorney and psychiatrists.
Representative Miller. Republican,
of Nebraska, subcommittee chair
man, briefly outlined the bill, ex-
planning that in his opinion it was
satisfactory to all concerned. He
did not 60 into detailed explana-
ton.
Two Other Bills Reported.
The subcommittee also reported
to the House District Committee
two other bills with amendments.
One would continue for one year
only, until June 30, 1949, the Dis
trict's program for day care centers
for children of working mothers.
DR.. Miller, q physician, criticized
these centers as being 'topheavy"
with administrative personnel, but
voted to report the bill to the full
committee.
Also approved was the contro-
versial measure to regulate the
practice of optometry in the Dis
trict. Two minor amendments were
inserted by the subcommittee. They
would specify more particularly the
description of so-called "substand-
ard lenses: .t
The optometrists, under the bill,
must inform the purchaser of the
nature Of the lens which according
to trade usages is not of first quail
ity."
Hospital Bill Reported.
The subcommittee decided to send
TO the full committee without rec
ommendation bill authorizing
Federal aid to private hospitals
here which did not join the Wash
ington Hospital Center to be erected
on the Naval Observatory grounds.
The bill was strongly advocated
by Chairman Dirksen of the House
District Committee, its author. DR..
Miller also said he felt the measure
was justified because hospital facil-
tiles here need improvement.
But objections raised by Repre-
sentatives Deane, Democrat, of
North Carolina and Davis, Demo-
crat, of Georgia led to no vote by
the subcommittee.
Amendment to Center Act.
The bill is an amendment to the
Hospital Center Act of 1916, which
authorized expenditure of $35,O00,-
600. Testimony today by spokesmen
for the bill pointed out that only
about $4,000. 900 to $23, ,0O0, 900 would
be needed. for the hospital center.
Therefore, they contended, the
amendment would simply include
the private hospitals for Federal
aid amounting to around $4,000 900.
The provision for hospitals outside
the center had originally been car
ried in the hospital center bill but
was stricken on the floor Of the
House.
No date has been set for the
next meeting of the House District
Committee. a

Combining sheep to over-grazed,
skinned off range or pasture, will of
course compel the sheep to eat any
thing green that remains there, and
scattered losses from lupine and
other plants may occur.
We have repeatedly seen COWS,
and on one occasion, a pet sheep,
tied to a picket rope in reach of
poisonous plants, with resulting
losses that were certainly due to
somebody's poor judgment.
8. Landing Losses:
Landing on grass, in late April
and May, may be accompanied by
losses due to rough weather, and so
far, we have not been able to pre-
vent unreasonable storms. Aside
from those caused by the weather,
lamb losses are usually light, and
even weather losses can be reduced
by tepees or shelter sheds to house
small punches in bad weather.
The desire to get out a heavier
lamb by shipping time or, in farm
flocks, to get Landing out of the way
before the spring work begins, has
been responsible for March lambing
in sheds. The Landing shed itself
has been responsible for heavy loss
es. In sheds built without any pro-
vision for sunlight, ventilation, OF
drainage, dark and cold and damp
lamb losses may be very heavy

Farm flocks, lambing in February

to corrals or pens during the late
winter, often in areas where there is
considerable snow, and are not like
