Planners Map
Clearer Stund
OnMonument

Members of the National
Capital Planning Commission
scratched their best recollec-
tons yesterday and decided
they had better clarity their
position on plans for a Five
Freedoms Monument in Arling-
ton across from Lincoln Me-
mortal.
Because Of admittedly inad-
vertent wording of a resolution.
the planning body seems to
have approved in detail the
proposal by the National Monu-
ments Commission for construc-
ton Of a memorial wall that
would soar 80 feet high in
tribute to the freedoms.
This was not the intent Of
the commission, the members
agreed yesterday.
John Nolen. jr.. NCPC direct
or, asserted that the record
shows an intent to indorse only
the general concept" OF the
proposed monument. His recol-
lection was shared by Acting
NCPC Chairman John A. Re-
mon, c. McKim Norton and 1t.
Col. Thomas B. Hunter. Assist
ant District Engineer Commits
sioner.
All, at the same time. ad-
mitted the commission left out
the word general" when It
went on record approving the
concept.
To set the record straight.
Mr.. Nolen was instructed to
draft a carefully worded"
statement pegging the NCPC
position once and for all.

1T TOOK MORE DOING.
Mr.. Goodrum cites a series
of four editorials champion
ing the cause in The Star
late in 1926. The bill au-
thorizing the purchase of
the land was passed in
March, 1927. The land was
acquired by 1929, and work
started in 1880 but then
came the depression.
Year after year, little work
was done, and no trees we're
planted. In 1888, the Agri-
culture Department re-
quested only $4,000 for the
arboretum. Trees planted
then would be approaching
maturity now.
But the trees native to the
place are splendid-beautiful
oaks in great variety, silver
beeches and gums. The
Rambler was disturbed to
learn that a mysterious
disease is attacking the sweet
gum, the one with the star
shaped leaf, and it may
suffer the fate of the chest
nut.
If the arboretum people
would only label more Of the
old trees, they already have
a good sh Nv.

LIKE MANY a country
gentleman with a new estate
CDR. Skinner has been at
the arboretum for only five
years., he feels it is not quite
ready to be seen.
The Public Roads Admin
istration is building a pat
tern of roads around the
arboretum's hills. The roads
now are bank gravel made
smooth by road rollers and
awaiting an application Of
asphalt.
DR.. Skinner has deferred
hopes for completion of the
roads from September to No
vember. Now he hopes they
will be finished during the
winter and that the arbore-
tum viii be ready for a grand
public opening when the TO-
900 azalea bushes bloom in
the spring.
But the arboretum is open
now, both on weekdays and
week ends and, If you like
trees, it is well worth visiting.
AS for the history of the
place, DR.. Skinner gave the
Rambler a pamphlet written
in 1919 by Charles A.
Goodrum of the Library Of
Congress. 1t told how, in
1924 when the land was
selected, a request for
100000 was denied by the
Bureau Of the Budget. Calvin
Coolidge was President, and
his Yankee economizing was
popular.
Mr.. Goodrum's account
tells how Mrs. Frank B.
Noyes, chairman of the
Garden Club of Washington,
and wife of the president of
The Star, saved the day:
1T is said she fatty told
Mr.. Coolidge, I will not take
mo" for an answer"
What happened was that
Mr.. Coolidge did say mo"
and Mrs. Noyes' feminine re-
action so unnerved the Presi-
dent that he answered her
he would help.

Phone Strike Ends
Return
Average Boost
OF 13.2Cents
Won by Union

Normal working conditions
were restored throughout the
Nations telephone communica-
tons system today with the
settlement Of four-day strike
of Western Electric equipment
installers.
Pickets in the District area
and A States were called of
shortly after Federal Mediator
Walter A. Maggiolo announced
in New York at l am. that
differences between the COM
pany and the Communications
Workers of America had been
reconciled.
In the Washington area
pickets ceased to parade at
the WE distributing building at
I'LL North Capitol street and
at about 20 telephone company
installations.
For the first time this week
a normal force was working at
these places. About 900 tele-
phone operators and other
phone company employees had
been refusing to cross lines of
their brother CWA strikers.
However. phone service had
been normal except for some
delays in long distance calls.
Union Chief Pleased
Joseph Dunno. national d.
rector of the installers unit,
said he was very well salts
fed" with the 13.2-cent aver
age boost in wages and other
benefits. which he called the
best settlement in the Ameri.
can Telephone & Telegraph
system this year.
Mr.. Dunno said he and other
negotiators would do all they
could to urge the membership
to ratify the contract within the
month allowed for this.
But two local presidents,
John Flanagan of the New
York area group and Kenneth
A. Silvers of the local cover
ing Indiana and the Cincin-
natl, Cleveland and Dayton
areas. predicted the member
ship would not accept the
agreement. Mr.. Silvers pre-
dicted another strike in 10 days.
The agreement. covering a.
800 equipment installers across
the Nation. will run two years.
with a reopener on wages after
q year.
15-Cent Boost Sought
The union had sought wage
increases of Is cents an hour
plus 5 cents more hourly for
travel pay and fringe benefits.
The settlement actually calls
for from 8 to IL cents for wages,
plus 2 cents per hour next jan
uary Is to 10 per cent of the in
stallers who have never been
given merit increases. Present
installer pay ranges from $l.39
to $3.50 an hour.
The agreement also calls for
a 25-cent increase in the daily
travel allowance to S6.75.
Month for Ratification
John B. Grabill of Baltimore,
president of Local 1890. which
covers this area. said some
members may be disappointed
because the 45-minute local as
signment time had not been cut
to 80 minutes. This is the time
during which workers do not
get paid when assigned to work
outside their city.
Alfred c. Billotte, chief ne
gotiator for the company. called
the settlement "eminently fair
to both sides" and commended
Mr. Maggiolo for his real aid"

New 212% S.S. Tax Will Benefit Many Disabled Workers

Beginning January l, 1857, the social security tax which workers pay and which is matched by their employers, was raised from 2 per cent to 2M per cent. The social security tax paid by self employed people on their earnings in 1857 will be increased from 3 per cent to 33s per cent. This new rate will first apply to their 1857 earnings, and will be due with their income tax return due by April Is, 1858.
 The additional tax will be used to finance the new disability in- Surance program which provides monthly social security payments to qualified disabled WorKers be tween the age of 50 and 65, stated MT. James c. Browne, manager of the district office at Box 1881, Juneau, Alaska. These benefits will become payable beginning with July, 1857, based on the 1856 Amendments to the Social Se- curity Act passed by Congress.
 This slight increase in the tax will enable many who are now disabled for worK to receive bene- fits; in addition this tax will pro- vide payments at age 50 for in sured workers who are disabled in the years ahead.
