Crowded Jail
Needs2 Winqs,
Say
Preliminary Plans
Drawn Up to House
1000 Inmates Daily

Crowded conditions at the Dis
trict Jail will require the con-
struction of two additional wings,
Donald Clemmer, director of the
Department of Correction, said
today.
The Jail population has been
running more than 1,00O-a-day
for some time and Supt. Curtis
Reid has been forced to make
room for prisoners in sections
Of the Jail where formerly they
were not housed. When the last
addition to the Jail was COM
pleted in 1912 it was expected
to increase it's capacity to be-
tween 800 and $50.
Merrell Coe, the municipal
architect, has been comforting
with Mr.. Clemmer and Jail Off
cials on the problem. It was
decided to recommend the build
ing of two wings, one on the
south side of the Jail facing
Nineteenth street Sc. and an
other on the north side. The
two would accommodate about
240 additional prisoners.
Jail officials at first thought
that the big rotunda of the Jail
could be used by building addi-
tional floors, but Mr.. Coe con-
sidered this too costly. He also
pointed out that ventilation
would be inadequate because
there are only few small win
dows in the rotunda.
In addition to the two wings,
it is planned to build wall
around them just inside the high
wire fences which incloses the
entire Jail grounds. This would
make available an exercise yard
for prisoners in the new wings.

Harland Bartholomew, nation
ally prominent city planner. said
today he wanted to confer with
officials here before giving de-
tails of how he will conduct his
new job as chairman of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission.
The 63-year-old st. Louisan,
paid consultant to the commits
sion since it was formed in 1926,
was named to the post by Pres
ident Eisenhower yesterday. He
succeeds DR.. Joseph D. Lohman
of Chicago, who retains COM
mission membership.
On a vacation trip in Michi-
gan, Mr.. Bartholomew was given
word of the appointment by The
Star. He told a reporter by tele-
phone he would make no i'm
mediate comment on how much
time he plans to devote to the
job or what steps he has in
mind to attack Washington's de-
velopment problems.
Views Well Known.
His views, however, are we'll
known. The commissions stand
on most issues reflect advice
given by Mr.. Bartholomew in his
role as consultant.
officials guessed that that role,
at least on a paid basis, will
end with the appointment. For
major studies made by his st.
Louis consulting firm, Harland
Bartholomew and Associates, Mr..
Bartholomew has been paid on
a job-contract basis. On oc-
casion, he also has received a
per diem rate of $75 a day as
consultant. In addition, Off
cials said. he has given countless
services over the years without
pay.
The new chairman said he has
not decided when he will come
to Washington. Commission aides
guessed it might not be until
after September /, the effective
date Of his appointment.
The appointment-as did DR..
Lohman's last fall-raised i'm
mediate comment as to the wis
dom of having a nonresident
direct commission activities.
John A. Remon, Washington
citizen member and vice chair
man, said he felt it desirable to
have resident chairman who
could keep in constant touch
with the commission staff.
He has performed such duties
frequently in DR.. Lohman's alb
sence. DR.. Lohman has come to
Washington in advance Of
monthly commission sessions.
with occasional trips in between.
He has said he feels he has been
present whenever the job de-
manded it.
Nominated by Mckay.
Some commission members
agreed privately with Mr.. Ra-
mon that appointment of a resi-
dent chairman would be advan-
tageous. But most said that Mr..
Bartholomew wide experience
and familiarity with Washington
problems fully justified his ap-
pointment.
Mr.. Bartholomew was nomi-
mated by Interior Secretary Nc
Kay and was supported strongly
by a large number Of park and
city planning groups. DR.. Loh-
man, an authority on communi-
ty race relations. was named last
year by President Truman on
the recommendation Of former
Interior Secretary Oscar Chap
man. There were reports he
might be replaced as chairman
Immediately after the Republic
cans took over.
Asked to Stay On.
The White House repeatedly
has asked DR.. Lohman to stay on
as a commission member. and he
has given no indication that he

Bogus Salesman
.Burglarizes
ID. ]. Herr Home

A well dressed man, posing as
subscription salesman for Life
Magazine, is believed to have been
the person who broke into the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. d. j. Herr at the
corner of Poplar and Main streets
Tuesday afternoon of last week and
ransacked a bookcase drawer TAX
ing seven dollars in change.
Mrs. John Amstutz, a neighbor,
reported to Mr.. Herr that a man
of the above description had called
at her home earlier in the after
noon. She suspicioned him since,
although he said he was a SUBJ
scription salesman, seemed to have
no samples or order pad of any
kind with him. She said she later
saw him leaving the rear door of
the Herr residence.
Mr.. Herr said that the door had
apparently been opened with skele-
ton key. No one was at home at
the time.
