EARLY WORK ON FEDERAL BLDG. WING SOUGHT New Efforts to Speed Work Will Be Made by Officials. New efforts will be made by local officials to speed the building of the proposed north wing to the federal building, it was learned today. Because of the limited space in the present building, activities of many government offices are hindered, Wallace Buchanan, assistant postmaster, said today. Somq functions of the postoffice have been transferred to the Illinois street station because of the limited quarters in the main postoffice, he declared. This arrangement hinders transactions of certain postal activities, he said. Insufficient Customs Space Because of the increase in the I liquor imports to the country, the ; United States customs office now has insufficient space to carry on its activities. Many federal departments are forced to rent space in other downtown buildings. Establishment of the regional labor board here necessitated taking over quarters of the federal grand jury, which causes much inconvenience when the grand jury is in session, Mr. Buchanan pointed out. Some important federal offices even have been established on the fourth floor, intended for storage, of the building, Mr. Buchanan said. Although plans for the wing received federal sanction several years ago, no steps have been taken towards the erection of the wing. Early Survey Made In anticipation of the erection of the new wing, the postal department made a preliminary survey more than a year ago so that building activities could begin immediately. * Plans were approved by government authorities and the money appropriated. It was understood that the $1,080,000 grant for the structure was used during the last year by the federal emergency relief administration. Funds for the wing probably will come only if Harold Ickes, public works administrator, allows an appropriation for the project, local authorities believe. The local firm of McGuire & Shook has been engaged as architects for the wing. The plans for the structure provided for erection of a north front to correspond to the south entrance. Contractor to Discuss NRA Code Emmett Hall, Indianapolis contractor, will discuss the contractors’ NRA code at the luncheon of the Scientech Club Monday at the Columbia Club.

KEEP CHILDREN FROM MOVIES’ ‘GILDED SIN,’ IS CARDINAL'S ADVICE

By United Prass SWAMPSCOTT, Mass.. May 24. —Hollywood is “the scandal of the world. ” William Cardinal O’Connell, archbishop of boston, said, exhorting 1,000 members of the Catholic Order of Forresters to keep their children from “gilded vice”—his characterization of the movies. Denouncing screen stars “with their unutterable disregard of every decent convention of life, with their three or four or five or six or seven husbands, with beautiful clothes, and what might be called beautiful faces but are only masks,’,’ the cardinal asked: “Can any decent woman look on that sort of life as not being a horrible thing to avoid, as a contagion? How can you go and sit through a performance of that kind, carried on by people with openly scandalous reputation, and pour money into their laps by the million?” FIRST LADY WILL VISIT SUBSISTENCE PROJECTS Arranges Tour of West Virginia Home Sites for June.

JAPAN SEEKS TO TRADE AT NAVYIARLEY Nippon Would Allow Added U. S. Pacific Bases for Equal Ratio. By United, Pres* TOKIO May 25.—Japan will not object to increased American naval bases in the Pacific, provided the United States approves Japan's plans for an increased naval ratio at the coming conference, it w r as indicated unofficially today. Japanese naval officers so worded their comments on the proposal of Claude Swanson, United -States secretary of navy, as to indicate that Japan chose to regard Mr. Swanson’s statement as a “trading basis” for the forthcoming naval conference. Mr. Swanson was quoted in dispatches as saying that if Japan sought an increased naval ratio, the United States would consider extending its naval bases in the Pacific ocean. The naval secretary at the same time urged continaution of present ratios. In reply, Japanese officers unofficially said that if Japan obtained means of defense sufficient to guarantee peace in the Orient, there would be no objection to extension of the American bases. It is said that there are bones of 11,000 girls, massacred by Huns in the fourth or fifth century, at rest in the Church of St. Ursula at Cologne. France.
