The Justice Department has
started an investigation of pos

violations in the sale of build
ing materials in the Washing

This was revealed today In
letters from Deputy Attorney
General Byron E. White
authorizing three Justice De-
partment lawyers to carry out
the investigation for possible
submission to a grand jury
here.
The letters did not disclose
the exact nature OF what the
investigation may show. Mr..
White merely instructed the
three lawyers to investigating
the activities and conduct of
persons, firms, corporations,
associations, organizations and
others engaged in the business

Though Mr.. Whites letters
did not disclose that the inves-
tigation will mainly be con-

area, reliable sources in the
Justice Department indicated
that this is the case.

JObleSS Figures Climb
Unemployment continued to
worsen in February, climbing
by $4,000 to 5,705, 900, highest
idle figure in 20 years. What
happens in March will largely
depend upon weather condi-
tions. Approaching springtime
normally opens up outdoor job
opportunities.
President Kennedy has prom
ised to make a new critical ap-
praisal Of the economy in April
to determine whether broader
economic recovery steps are
needed. The March job figures,
due in early April, are likely to
weigh heavily in this decision.
Mr.. Goldberg said yesterday
in announcing the new job data
for February that naturally the
administration hopes that sea-
sonal factors, meaning favor
able spring weather and pre-
Easter buying, will tend to
diminish the economic down.

During the past decade, he
said, public school enrollments

ton have increased 154 per
cent and the cost per pupil has
jumped rs per cent.

cent from 1916 to 1859, and in
many areas, the Secretary said,
property taxes, the traditional
source Of revenue for education,
are rapidly approaching the
limit of reaSonableness."
But greater needs will have
to be met in the decade ahead,
he warned. Increases in en-
rollment will require an ad-
ditional 437,000 instructional
personnel and 100000 new
classrooms by the end Of the
10-year period" Mr.. Ribicoff
declared. While the States and
localities must bear the main
burden Of such increase, the
Federal Government can and
should make a substantial con-
tribution to assist the States
and local communities III meet
ing their goals"
GOIdwater Takes Issue
Senator Goldwater, Republi-
can Of Arizona. quoted some Of
these same figures back at Mr..
Ribicoff to show that the edu-
cation problem has peaked

where enrollments had in
creased As per cent in the past

We've taken care Of the

Design Problem Solved
Decision to retain the Court
of Claims Building intact solved
a big problem Of design that
otherwise might have got out
Of hand in trying to fit Blair
House and Blair-Lee House into
the scheme.
1t also has the virtue Of keep
ing the appearance of Penn
sylvanis avenue between jack
son place and Seventeenth
street almost entirely un-
changed, since both Blair House
and Blair-Lee House, at 1851
and 1858 Pennsylvania avenue,
were to have been retained any
way.
Likewise largely unchanged
will be the appearance Of H
street from Jackson place to
Seventeenth street. The Ste
phen Decatur House at the
southwest corner Of Jackson
place and H street, and the
Truxtun-Decatur Naval Mu-
scum at the rear of that prop
erty already were to have been
retained. as was the headquar-
ters of the National Grange at

cess to an underground, two

This garage also will extend

While earlier plans to raze
the Court of Claims drew nc
loud opposition, the decision
: to save it is an unexpected div
idend Of considerable historic
interest.
This building, started in 1885
as the first Corcoran Gallery
Of Art, was taken over by the
Government in 1861, before the
gallery was opened. 1t was
used to house the Quartermas-
ter Generals Department dur
ing the Civil War. The Cor
coran gallery was finally
opened there in 1873 and re.
mained until 1897, when the
Court Of Claims first occupied
the building.

stone trim. the mansard-roo1
structure was designed in Re-
