Miss Bent|ey's Health
To Prevent Return 10
Bench, Bar Unit Says

Judge Fay Bentley is beyond
hope of recovery sufficient to per-
NIT her to return" to the Juvenile
Court bench. the District Bar AS
sociation Committee on Relations
with the Juvenile Court has been
informed. Judge Bentley is VOL
untary patient at st. Elizabeth's
Hospital.
Chairman McGrath of the Sem
ate District Committee has intro
duced legislation to increase the
number of Juvenile Court judges
here from one to two.
Lowry N. Coe, president of the
Bar Association, transmitted a
statement and draft of the bill
to Senator McGrath. The state
ment and draft were prepared by
Earl H. Davis. chairman of the
Juvenile Court Committee.
Pay Raise Sought.
Mr.. Davis report said lit is
earnestly felt that this legislation
is sorely needed at this time to
prevent any further impairment of
the work" of both Municipal and
Juvenile Courts.
Also referred to the District
Committee is a bill to raise the
pay of Municipal Court judges
from the present $4,000 to $13,-
500 a year for the chief judge and
from $9,975 to $4,000 for asso-
ciate judges.
Judge Bentley's place on the
Juvenile Court bench now is being
filled by Municipal Court Judge
Nadine Gallagher. The bar group
pointed out that this increases the
burden on other Municipal Court
judges.
The Juvenile Court committee
of the bar association heard a
report February 8 on Judge Bent
ley's health. Mr.. Davis said the
information came through court
channels and was considered as
conclusive evidence that there
should be immediate action to
meet the needs of Juvenile Court.
Increase In Cases Cited.
Another factor is the increase
in the work of Juvenile Court dur
ing the last 10 years to a point
where the services of another
Judge have become necessary, Mr..
Davis said.
On recommendation of the Ju-
venile Court committee, the bar
association is expected to take
steps to protect any rights Judge
Bentley may have to retirement
or disability pay, Mr.. Davis added.
He said while it is understood
regular civil service retirement
deductions have been taken from
her pay while on the bench and
during previous Federal service,
he said, it is not clear whether
she would be entitled to draw re-
tirement pay at the end Of her
term in 1852.

ers now occupying temporary
buildings.
Treasures Marred.
Some of the city's greatest
treasures. such as the Lincoln
Memorial, are marred by these
makeshift structures, hastily
thrown up to meet a specific need
For the temporary structures not
only occupy park land badly
needed for recreation by a fast
growing community, but are
definitely a fire hazard. This is
the view of John Nolen, jr.. di-
rector of planning Of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The Federal Government has
spent many thousands Of dollars
in costly maintenance and up
keep of temporary buildings for
more than 80 years. Commissioner
Reynolds says it will have to
spend more both on these and
the World War II "tempos.
Contrasting sadly with the
ornate permanent structures in
whose shadows they stand are
many temporary buildings. They
stretch from the Capitol to the
Potomac River: are found on the
Anacostia River banks and south
ward from Massachusetts,. New
York and Pennsylvania avenues
NV.
Poor Planning.
The temporary buildings are a
menace because they represent
poor city planning. were tolerated
only for emergency purposes and
add to traffic congestion, Mr..
Nolan said.
The late Senator Mcmillan. Re-
publican. of Michigan. by his en-
couragement of the Plan Of 1901
for Washington's development,
which came out of the citys Gen.
,tennial, was one of the real build

Since-carrying forward the vi
Stcns of President Washington
and the first planner, Maj.
Charles Pierre L'Enfant.
Now, half century later, both
new and old temporary buildings
infest the Mall, which after World
War was practically cleared OF

Temporary
BY William A. MiIIen

The temporary Federal office
buildings here must go.
That is the consensus of public
and private officials especially in
terested in the problem. stimulated
by the forthcoming Sesquicenten-
nial of Washington, to be cele-
brated next year.
= AS things are now, the tempo
rary buildings are only a blight
and officials want to present to
Sesquicentennial visitors as order
ly and beautiful a city as possible
But the program is far from an
easy one to attain.
Four Left From World War I.
Efforts extending over more
than a quarter of century sought
to root out World War I tempo
rary buildings. But there are still
four of them standing-the Navy
and Munitions Buildings, west OF
Seventeenth street on Constitu-
ton avenue NV; Temporary
Building No. 2 at Nineteenth and
D streets NV, and Temporary
Building E, between Fourth and
Sixth streets S.W. But World
War. II brought a new generation
Of temporary buildings and now
the grand total is SO.
The Fine Arts Commission, the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. the American
Planning and Civic Association,
the National Capital Parks Office
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, the
Federal Works Administrator
and Commissioner of Public
Buildings w. E. Reynolds are
among those on record in favor OF
removing the temporary buildings
as speedily as possible.
The only question is when and
how they will come down. The
fight against usurpation of park
lands by these temporary builo-
ings has been loud and long.
Occupied Center of Mall.
Special legislation. both in
World Wars and II. authorized
the erection of temporary build
ings here. but made no provision
for tearing them down after the
conflict.
But the campaign against the
World War I temporary buildings
resulted in Kidding Washington of
many of them. At one time they
occupied the center of the Mall
and the Union Station Plaza.
Between the two wars, the
problem was comparatively simple
For Mai. Gen. U. S. Grant III,
now chairman Of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, was then its executive
officer. as well as being Director
of Public Buildings and Public
Parks. In the latter capacity. he
headed an independent Office. di-
rectly responsible to the Presi-
dent. Gen. Grant spearheaded the
drive to get the temporary build
ings taken down and Congress
sanctioned the program. Another
factor was the shrinkage Of the
size Of the Government and the
fact that President Coolidge spon-
soted D new public building pro-

Plan Approval
City Heads Warned
To Act at Once on
Southeast Project

Unless the preliminary plans for
the Marshall Heights redevelop-
ment project are approved with
out delay. no money will be forth
coming from Congress for a COM
prehensive redevelopment plan,
the Commissioners were warned
today.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, chair
man of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, made
the statement at a hearing before
the Commissioners today on the
project.
The Washington Board of Trade
Metropolitan Development Com
mittee had just urged the Com
missioners to withhold approval
of the project until more data is
available on full details of the
plan. 1t was then that Gen.
Grant said he had received as
surances from members of Con-
gress and the Budget Bureau that
no money will be forthcoming for
|aj comprehensive plan unless the
preliminary plan is approved by
the Commissioners.
Inhabited by Negroes.
Marshall Heights is an area in
southeast Washington inhabited
almost entirely by Negroes, in the
vicinity of East Capitol street,
Benning road and Southern
avenue. The plan calls for con-
struction of a large low-cost hous-
ing development in the area to
replace obsolete and unsightly
housing now in use.
Congress has appropriated no
money for the project as yet.
Ernest F. Henry, chairman of
the Trade Board Committee. said
the board recommends that the
Commissioners refer back to the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission the pending pro-
ject redevelopment plan with the
boards recommendation that the
plan be modified after a study
and report by the District Engi-
neering Department.
William S. Banks, president of
the Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Washington, told the
Commissioners the Association
Planning Committee is in accord
with selection of Marshall Heights
as the project area to be redevel-
oped. The plan itself, however.
requires q great deal more study.
Mr.. Banks said.
He declared the plan was for
mulated on the basis of "entirel9
inaenllHtes topograpl1ic inf05 q
tioIi and II Sppears that the l0cSs
ton of uertafi1 elements especially
the schools ssite and some Of tn
zoniug areas, should receive mote
study.
Asks Accurate Survey. S;
The Home Builders Association
cannot give its approval to any
plan," Mr.. Banks said, until an
accurate survey of the area is pre-
pared and the layout completely
restudied with due regard for all
possible economies which can be
obtained from good planning"
John B. Duncan, chairman of
the special committee on housing
of the Federation of Civic Asso-
Citations, declared his group is now
in agreement with the plan for
Marshall Heights, contingent on
adoption by the land agency OF
some reasonable plan which will
prevent displacement of present
home who are now in dire
circumstances.
He said the approval also was
contingent on assurances from the
planning commission that the
nondiscrimination policy adopted
toward Marshall Heights will be
applied to all areas undergoing
redevelopment.
