WILL CALL PARLEY
ON CONDEMNATION
Grant to Ask Various Fac
tions to Discuss Plans
of Procedure.
In an effort to reach a compromise
among representatives o£ various
agencies supporting conflicting measures
for a change m condemnation procedure
In acquisition of land in the District
by the Federal Government, a confer
ence Is t© be held next week, at a date
to be set by Ueut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d.
engineering officer of tbr National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
This move was suggested yesterday by
Chairman McLeod of the judiciary sub
committee ol the House District com
mittee. before which hearings arc being
held. Mr McLeod stated that his com
mittee is now unable to act because
the various advisors representing dit
frrer.t branches of the Federal service
are not able to agree on what 'legisla
tion should be enacted. He suggested j
that the two Important points to be j
considered at the proposed conference;
are. first the Department of Justice i
proposal for taking land to be con-;
demned immediately with a partial pay
ment available to the owner, the full
payment to await for a later determina
tion on tbs condemnation price; sec
ondly. Mr. McLeod's proposal for setting
up a master to act with the jury whose
findings would be subject to a review by
the court
Increase Is Doubtful.
Mr. McLeod suggested this as away
to get around the proposals made by
the Park and Planning Commission, the
Corporation Counsel and District Com
missioners and the Washington Board
of Trade, for an additional judge whose
principal duty would be. to sit in con
demnation cases. Mr. McLeod stated
that for the appointment of such an
additional judge, action by the judiciary
committee of the House would be neces
sary and he had been advised that it
la practically impossible to get such an
Increase in the judiciary at this time
Col. Grant emphasized the need for
action before the close of the present
aession of Congress, because the Federal
Government to carry forward its public
-- bal ding program must acquire promotlv
acme 125.000.000 or $30,000,000 worth of
property.
Most of the time at the hearing ves
terday was taken up with presentation
bv the Moore committee of the Board
of Trade of the bill backed by that j
organization. This committee is com- >
•• Posed of Alexander Wolfe, chairman; j
Charles S. Consaul. William D. King.
Joseph I. Weller. Daniel Thew Wright
' and Capi. Chester Wells
Urges New Judge.
In explaining this bill. Mr. Wolfe
emphasized the need for a new’ judge
to preside over a Jury with award to
be made by the judge and jury. He
proteated that property should no: be j
taken from the owner by the Govern- !
nsent in advance of a full payment,
but Only after an award had been de- !
termined and the Government ready to
Blake full payment.
In the conference to be called by Col
Grant, thoae who will be invited to par
ticipate include Mr. Wolfe and other
member* of the Board of Trade com- I
aittee. Secretary Coldren of the Park
and Planning Commission. H. H. Glas

Representative Declares Farm
Question Will Be a Predomi
nant If*ue.
Representative L. J. Dickinson. Re
publican. of lowa, one of the earliest
Low den boosters and still going strong,
sees a tremendous drift toward tne
Lowden candldaey. the basis of which,
he says, is "a recognition the the farm
question is going to be the underlying
factor in the coming 1928 campaign.
"In my judgment." declared Mr. Dick
inson. "this is resulting in a large num
j ber of uninstructed delegates from va
rious States, with the purpose of being
j prepared to meet the situation they
j foresee will confront the convention at
Kansas City.
"Where there has been a crucial test
so far the farm question has been one
of the determining factors With un
certainty in the East we cannot afford
to court uncertainty In the West Fore
casts are always problematical, out why
run two chances if there Is any way by
which we can make victory certain.
“The Mississippi Valley is united be
; hind the farm program. This trend is
in the area of the country where the
Republican victory has always been as
sured.
i "It is conceded that A1 Smith is going
: to be the Democratic nominee, with a
j national reputation as friend of the
common man The Republican nomi
nation must be made with a view of
meeting this situation lam still con
vinced that Gov. Lowden of Illinois is
the outstanding national figure to meet
I the situation as far as the Republican
! party is concerned.
] "Lowden with his victory In Illinois
S has become almost the vehicle for
I political reform, which is simply an
| other of his outstanding accomplish-
I ments."
