New Base Here
Deferred by Navy

The Navy today formally re-
treated from its request for
money to start building a S25.5
million naval station in Ana
costa.
Rear Admiral Henry A. Rem
ken told a Senate Appropria-
lions subcommittee the Navy
would renew the request next
year. The admiral is director
of the Shore Station Construc-
ton and Maintenance Division
in the Office of the Chief of
Naval Operations.
The first increment of the
$25.5 million was turned down
this session by Senate and
House authorization commit
tees before the appropriation
committees completed action
on the Navy budget. Without
authorization, the item must be
lifted from current spending
plans.
Congress members were
sharply critical of plans for the
new station because of its de
luxe design, its location or
msrshy land and the Congress
mems own ideas that such IA
cilities should be located out
side the Washington area.

MODERN TOUCH FOR CHANCERY
Briton Chips Coat Of Arms in Brick
By JOHN McKELWAY
Star stan Writer

II finished the job about tea
time last Monday said Trevor
Tenant of London.
He stood on the roof of the
modern, glassy-new British
chancery next to the embassy
on Massachusetts, avenue NV.
1t should be completed some
time this summer.
For the last two months. Mr..
Tenant, So, who resembles a
finance minister, has been
working on a scaffold tied
against the brick wall of the
new building. He has been
chipping out of brick and
mortar England's Royal Coat of
Arms.
Now finished, the design is
about 81 feet wide and 18 feet
high. The best time to see it,
Mr.. Tenant feels, is early in
the morning when the angle of
the suns rays throw sharp
shadows on the Clipped brick.
There are plans to keep the
coat of arms bathed in flood-
lights in the evening.
Demands Strength
Mr.. Tenant is one of the
few sculptors around today who
will work with brick. 1t takes
strength, as his barrel chest
indicates. but must be delicate
and exacting at the same time.
AS he explained. each brick
must be handled separately end
bricks vary in strength. Por-
tions of a brick may be as
tough as granite, while near
the mortar, it may tend to
crumble.
81 rather like this sort of
thing in modern buildings" he
said. "The design is an integral
part of the building-instead
of something Just stuck on the
wall"
Mr.. Tenants version of the
coat of arms is a graceful,
slightly modernistic treatment
of the familiar lion at the
left, the unicorn at the right
and the shield in between.
| Architectural Sculpture"
/ He calls his art architectural
sculpture" He does it COM
pletely by hand.
The most difficult part of
the work, Mr.. Tenant said,
was in the lettering of the two
mottos. He said the swirl of a
letter frequently finished of
in the mortar and this necessi-
tated retouching.
! The mottos are in Latin. One

and said: Evil be to him who

week on a freighter.

Suffrage Bill
For District

A constitutional amendment
to grant District residents the
right to vote in presidential
elections was hailed as epic
making" and historical" today
The plaudits came from
the senior majority and minor
ity members of the House Judi
ciary Committee, which yes
terday ordered the suffrage
proposal reported to the House

| On the Senate floor today,
Senator Heating, Republican of
New York, attacked the House
reported suffrage amendment
as promising only fractional
citizenship" to District resi-
dents. He said deletion by the
committee of the section to let
Washingtonians elect delegates
to the House was. a restriction
beyond anything justifiable."
He also objected to the House
Committee amendment limit
ing the number Of District cleo
tors in the Presidential Elec-
toral College to the number of
electors from the least populous
State.
THE committee has said the
voter here shall enjoy two
thirds or three fifthS as much

Senator Heating, a major
sponsor of the District suffrage

zenship.

new phrase for their status

He recommended that the
Senate stand by its own amend

guage which "scuttles and
emasculates" the Senate ver-
sion.

ment would not extend voting

The
Rambler
Rolls Around
With q Wrecker
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

THE trouble with the
wrecking business is that
you have nothing at which
you can point with pride"
said Danny Goodman of Ace
Wrecking Co.
He was driving through
Southwest, pointing to this
empty block and that empty
block as another of "our
jobs"
Danny thinks Ace is the
biggest wrecking firm operat-
ing in this area. 1t does more
than $75O,OOO a year and with
its subsidiary, Interstate
Demolition Co., which bids
on out-of-town jobs, is nearly
a million dollar industry.
I'VE call Southwest whole
sale wrecking'," he went on.
We passed a group of
laborers carefully knocking
mortar off bricks.
I'VE give them Sc a thou
sand for cleaning and stack
ing brick. Bricks are our
principal salvage here in
Southwest. Builders buy them
because people like the an
tique brick.
They pay just as much for
the used brick as for new
brick, about SIS to $50 a
thousand.
Brick laid in the last 40
years are useless to us. We
can't salvage brick set in
cement. It's too hard. The
only thing we can do is to
knock such walls down with
a pear or dynamite them.
But all these old houses in
Southwest were built with
lime mortar-before Port
land cement came into use
for binding masonry walls.
II think the change came
about World War l."

HE DROVE to the rear of
the new State Department
building now under construc-
ton. Next to it there is a
large apartment house, now
occupied by the department,
which will be torn down when
State moves into its new
quarters.
They probably won't let
the wreckers use dynamite
on that" he said, so it will
probably cost almost $780,
600 to tear it down"
If the firm is allowed to
dynamite a building, we
learned, a subcontract is let
to a Baltimore demolition
firm which has a man who
is an expert in handling
explosives.
I'VE don't want anybody
to get hurt" Danny said.
We toured the George
Washington University area.
I'VE did a lot of work
here" said Danny.
DO the wreckers often
come upon money in old
houses? Yes, small amounts.
Sometimes they find coins
behind radiators and in
corners of closets. Some of
the men have accumulated
interesting collections of old
coins.
"Once we found $31 in a
rats nest, all chewed up. But
the Treasury pieced the bills
together again and gave us
new money in exchange.

in Southwest was one of our

buildings. Danny is all for
the newspaper campaigns to
get Congress to remove these
eyesores.
There's a lot of lumber in
a tempo-good lumber and
timber, heavy beams-some
of it as good as new.
When we organized cur
company right after the war,
we would pay for the right to
tear a building down and
make our profit entirely from
salvage sales.
81 was in the Marine Corps
and my partner, Gilbert c.
Fischer, was a gunner on a
B-24, a Liberator. Our third
partner, Sam Mostow, is
older and was not in the
service.
You see, we are married
to three sisters and that's
how we happened to get into
business together.
Labor is so high that I
don't believe we have paid
to tear down a building in
several years. The last one
we paid for was temporary.
Its a highly competitive
business, like construction:
Everything goes to the low
est bidder.
I'VE were paid about $40,
900 a block for clearing
Southwest and I suppose we
got about $4,000 out of each
block in salvage.
Now I am going to take
you over to. the State De-
partment and show you a
building that is going to cost
a lot to tear down."

Pepper Disease
Problems Studied

| Plant pathologists from New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia met recently at the I'm
iversity of Delaware to seek a
control for the bacterial spot of
peppers.
According to University of
Delaware horticultural special
ist Robert F. Stevens, Delmarva
pepper production is threatened
by the severe outbreak of bac-
terial leaf spot which occurred
in 1859. Sprays and dusts with
many different chemicals failed
to control the disease in 1859.
Seed treatment, long consider
ed the best method of control,
also seemed ineffective last
year. Several new methods of
control were discussed at the
session.
The programs in the four
states in 1860 will include sew
eral new approaches to the
problem.
The University of Delaware
will carry on rather extensive
research trials in an effort to
control bacterial leaf spot in
1860. DR.. Donald j. Fieldhouse,
department of horticulture, and
DR.. Donald F. Crossan, depart
ment of plant pathology, plan
extensive field tests at George
town, Bridgeville and Newark,
to seek control with fertilizer or
control by spraying. Greenhouse
tests by DR.. Crossan with a new
chemical, not yet available, have
shown some promise, Stevens
said.
Corn borers has also raised
havoc with the pepper industry
during the past two years. How
ever, concerted effort by the
University of Delaware, the I'm
iversity of Maryland and the
Virginia Truck Experiment Sta
ton resulted in excellent con-
troll in experimental plots last
year. One to two pounds actual
DDT per acre, sprayed at week
ly or ten-day intervals from July
7 to the end of the season, gave
excellent control. Further work
planned for this year may show
corn borer can be controlled
with fewer sprays.
