Mr.. Short made the announce
ment without further comment.
A grand jury has been investi-
eating charges of political inf1u-
ence in the San Francisco Inter-
nal Revenue Office which Smythe
headed. Senator Nixon, Repub-

Ernest M. Schino, a former dep

Mr.. Davis said there is nothing
in the regulations which says
where the mezzanine must be To-
Gated.
Mr.. Davis added that the owners
ARE stuck with the regulations.
Mr.. Wyatt said he considers the
Interpretation of the zoning regu-
lations to be technical and ab-
surd."
"The only effect is to knock out
two-thirds of a floor Of space

The only work needed would be
to install partitions and pour part

Point to Regulations.
But District officials contend the
zoning regulations, as they are
written. won't permit the extra
5000 square feet of floor space to
be used. The site slopes down from
H street to New York avenue only
2 feet I inch less than it should
for the additional space to be
granted full approval, the owners
said. F.
Fo layman, it all sounds pretty
silly, but not to District officials
concerned. They contend they
must enforce the regulations as
they stand, and under their in
depreciation the regulations re-
qutre two-thifdS Of the usable
space on the top floor to 60 TO
waste.
The building is not too high,
say these officials, nor doesait have
too many levels. (There are 13
levels, plus basement. Twelve
Of the levels are defined as floors"
and the 18th as the "mezzanine"
even though it is on the top level
of the building.)
These officials also agree the
height Of the ceilings is satisfac-
tory and that the total floor area
of the building does not violate
coming rules.
Can't Change Building.
There is even agreement that
the blocked-off area could be
opened up and used, provided the
first floor was given a lower CELL
ing and the second floor. a higher
one.
But as things Standard the
building can't be changed be-
cause it is nearly completed
the only thing the owners can do
to comply with the present in
depreciation of the zoning regu-
lations is to let the choice Office
space remain blocked off.
The building is owned by the
Virginia Hotel Co., which is the
holding company for the estate
of the late Joseph E. Willard and
which, until about five years ago,
owned and operated the Willard
Hotel.
Principal stockholders are Mrs.
Joseph E. Willard and her daugh-
ters, Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt and
Mrs. Mervyn Herbert. The presi-
dent of the corporation is Joseph

Preliminary Approval.
| The architect, A. r. Clas, who
designed the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. Building on McPher.
Ison Square, the Hotel Statler ano
many other buildings in this area
said District officials had given
preliminary approval to the plans
before contracts were let. Only
later, he said, was the interpre-
tation issued, barring full use OF
the top level.
Commenting on the situation
Robert o. Clouser, a member OF
the Board of Zoning Adjustment
and director of planning for the
Zoning Commission, said: az
Nobody forced them to build
the building that way. This Is
the same situation as if the law
says the speed limit is IS miles
an hour and a man does 25.1
miles an hour. It's still a vio-
lation." il
| Mr.. Clouser said that, had the
owners agreed to depress the
building below the sidewalk on
the H street side by a little over
two feet, they could have called
the top level the 18th floor and
used all the floor space. instead
of having to call it mezzanine
and being able to use only q
third of the floor space.
Nevertheless, the height Of the
building, as it stands today, is
in full compliance with the zon-
/ ing regulations.
Not Quite Enough.
The difference in elevation be-
tween the H street side of the
building and the New York ave-
nue. side was just not enough
for them to pick up the additional
story they wanted" Mr.. Clouser
said.
Robert H. Davis, District in
lspections director. said:
"The zoning ordinance limits
the number Of stories and it also
limits the height Of the building
'The Wyatt Building complies
with the height requirements. II
also complies with the require
ments as to the number of stories
'"The first floor at New York
avenue is on grade. Since the
grade rises up to H street ano
since more than half the first

to be the first story of the build
ing.

to build IL stories, and a mez-

T FederaI Crime Cases
Drop 10 11.YearL Low
BY the Associated Press ,

The number Of criminal cases
i'm Federal courts dropped to an H.
year low in the 12-month period
ended last June 30.
This statement was made yes
terday in an annual report by
Henry P. Chandler, director OF
the administrative Office Of the
United States courts. The report
was submitted to Chief Justice
Vinson and the chief justices OF
the country's II judicial circuits
who are now in their judicial coz
ference here.
The total of criminal cases fe4
the last fiscal year was 23,705,
compared with 25,901 in the pre-
vious i2-month period. Immigra-
tion cases are not included.
The 23,705 total, Mr.. Chandler
said. "is the smallest number of
criminal cases begun in any Of the
last II years and lis 90 per cent
below the number in 1941." He
added that Federal crimes as
measured by the number of cases
filed have decreased during the
11-year period.
The report showed decreases in
the number of fraud and theft
cases, including a decline in for
gerry cases. Narcotic cases dropped
Ito 2,073 in the last fiscal year,
compared to 2,268 in 1850. Auto
;hefts and counterfeiting cases also
decreased. But liquor tax cases
increased 7 per cent.
An increase in bankruptcies,
which had been mounting month
by month since 1916, showed signs
of leveling off toward the end of
