Is Blocked
|In Committee ii
Cost Considered High;
Revival Of Measure
/ Possible, However
By Harold B. ROGERS

The House Rules Committee tenn
porarily blocked today House con-
ssideration Of the bill to authorize
\ construction Of the new Federal
| Courthouse here.
Chairman Allen Of the committee
| said the request for q rule to give
special consideration ON the noor
| was passed over by the committee.
No vote was taken, however, and
the issue may be brought up again
by the committee.
. The rule was requested by Chair
man Dondero Of the House Public
| Works Committee, which unani-
mously had approved the bill. Con-
curing In his request were Repre-
sentative McGregor, Republican, of
ROhio, chairman of the Public Works
MSubcommittee of Public Buildings
Eand Grounds: Representative Cum
Birmingham, Republican, of Iowa and
Representative Wilmington, Demo-
scrat, of Mississippi, Public, Works
&Committee members -
Representative Allen, Republican
Of Illinois, when asked first II the
Hcornmittee's failure to act on the
Erule meant 1t was "pigeonholed"
Chairman Allen replied, That may
DE" The reason was the present
high cost Of construction, he ex-
planned.
Still Breathing, Though.
= When asked somewhat later, how
ever whether the bill was dead for
this session, Mr.. Allen said it might
still be considered. -..
IT'S hit" he assereted. I'VE have
all the testimony before us. We
might take 1t up again. It's not dead
J yet"
Meantime. the Rules Committee
took favorable action on. a rule to
bring before the House q bill to ex-
tend Federal aid to highways
throughout the country, including
the District OF Columbia.
! The bill carries $2,937 900 for the
District over q three-year period
beginning July 1, 1850. The total
for the country during the three
years is 81 1900, 100000 divided into
$500, ZOO, 900 for each year.
The road bill amends a previous
1914 act for the same purpose Fed
eral money under this system must
be matched by District money.
Representative McGregor was
questioned at length by Rules Com
mittee members on the court bill.
He explained that Congress already
had authorized preparation Of plans
and specifications and appropriated
some money. a..
Conditions Called Bad
He emphasized that conditions
In District court here were in a
very bad state"
When pressed by committee mem
bers as to why there should be con-
struction of the courthouse here dur,
Ing high cost Of building. Mr.. Nc
Gregor estimated that actual erec-
tion could not be. startAds Tor about
two years. 1t would take about this
length Of time, he testified, for let
ting OF contract, fabrication of steel
and arrangements for construction.
The site is located on Constitution
avenue between Third street and
John Marshall place NV.
The courthouse bill, sponsored by
MI. Dondero, is also on the House
calendar. But since request has
been made for rule to bring the
measure up for special consideration
OF the floor, it Is believed there is
virtually no chance of the House
taking action on the bill If and when
1t should be reached on the calen-
ldar.

Work on Street Overposs
To Detour Traffic From Park

The project will enter a new phase
in about two weeks, said Carl A.
Wilson, project engineer on the job
for the District Highway Depart
ment's bridge division. The Bethle-
hem Steel Co. then will begin a
S1,341 900 program Of erecting TO-
100000 pounds Of steel. This will
consist of columns and beams to
carry the overhead structure.
The concrete deck of the elevated
structure will be built on steel beams
from Twenty-ninth to Thirty sixth
streets NV, Mr.. Wilson said, and
the iron work will be painted gray
green.
Quarter Of Work Done.
Mr.. Wilson estimated about one
fourth of the entire project Is now
completed. It will cost 50, 3,337, 600
altogether and is scheduled to be
finished next January. The con-
tractor is the Dess Moines, Iowa, firm
Of Alexander u Repass.
The engineer said that except for
construction Of two traffic bridges
across the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
at Key Bridge, the first phase OF
the project is essentially complete u
A new curb will be put where the
two ramps will carry traffic from
the bridge to the elevated motor
way at K street.
Earth soon will be filled inn be-
hind the new concrete structures at
Key Bridge. The canal is still blocked
of by construction, but the contrac-
tor is expected to restore the water
there soon and resume the cleo
trfcity supply, for which he has been
paying. Some firms use the canal
water for industrial purposes.
The maximum height of the ele-
waited roadway above K street will
be about 40 feet. w.,
The severe winter, particularly in
January and February, delayed the
pouring of concrete. Several other
problems have been encountered, in
cluding placing piles close to build
ings, relocating sewers and other
utilities in this oldest section Of
Washington. The concrete footings
for steel columns had to be placed
out of the way of railroad traffic
and provision had to be made in the
height of the elevated for switch
ing box cars along K street.

Bates Calls for Cut
In District Budget
Despite Horan Stand

Chairman Bates Of the House
subcommittee in charge Of District
revenue legislation, today main
tanned his stand against an addi-
tional city tax burden until the
194s budget requirements are known.
About the same time, Chairman
Horan Of the House Appropriations
Subcommittee handling the city's
appropriation bill, came out of q
budget hearing saying. We. can't
cut this budget"
Pending before the Koran COM
mittee is the Commissioners re-
quest for an outlay of $10l ,400, 600,
which exceeds estimated revenues
from present sources by $4,000, 900
The, deficit would rise by 5000 600
or more II Congress passes a pay
raise for Government workers.
Wants Revenue Action First.
Last week Mr.. Horan, Republican
of Washington wrote to the fiscal
subcommittee chairman saying he
could not bring out an appropriation
bill until the question Of increased
revenues had been, determined.
Mr.. Bates. Republican, of Massa-
chusetts replied today with q letter
in which he advised the Horan
Subcommittee to cut down the pro-
posed budget. He took the position
that any new revenue bill should be
geared to District needs. He added
his opinion that there was q limit
on spending.
Mr.. Bates dipped into his revenue
studies to hf7d there had been a $50
| per cent increase budgets here in the
last IL years, He noted also that
Boston, having comparable pop
ulation, has just approved budget
for the new year far below the re-
quested District budget. And Bos-
ton he said, never was noted for
conservatism"
Joint Farley Conjectured.
Whether the budget and revenue
suhcommittees will get together for
. Joint conference before the size
Of the budget is determined today
remained ,conjectural. This con-
ference idea was advanced Saturday
by MFR. Moran, but he said today he
was uncertain whether the results
would be worthwhile.
Mr.. Bates said he was willing to
have q round conference at any
time but suggested 1t was up to the
budget group to determine the city's
needs.
Senator Cain. Republican, OF
Washington who heads the fiscal
subcommittee of the Senate District
Committee, said he thought the
conference idea was fine and dam
DIFF there was any likelihood OF
anything to be gained"
The budget hearings today were
devoted to needs Of the Fire De-
partment and city courts. Mr..
Koran commended the Fire De-
pa-tment for keping District ere

Treatment OF Polio
Varies With Patient,
Conference Is Told
By the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, July 15.-The best
treatment for infantile paralysis,
DR.. william T. Green of Harvard
University told the First Interna-
tional Polio Conference today. may
vary from person to person and sea-
son to season.
Some reports" he said, would
indicate that the only way to treat
polion1yelitis is by the Kenny
method. Others have not been
able to confirm this.
More recently, use OF curare with
strenuous manipulation has been
advocated. This is described as
producing superior results. Others
say it is of no value. Likewise.
prostigimine. has been advocated
as of great value and there are re-
ports it has no effect.
These conflicting reports are Ger
tainly confusing, but not nearly so
much as seems at first glance. There
may be many ways to accomplish
an objective that has been over
looked by many. The Kenny tech
nique, for example, although de-
scribed as a new treatment, has
much in common with other meth
ods of treatment.
Whatever else its virtues. the
work Of Miss Kenny has caused a
re-evaluation of techniques and in
particular has had salutary effect
upon those who used prolonged I'M
