"We win try to prevail on tbe
supervising architect of the treasury
department to let us use either steel
or reinforced concrete in the construction of Santa Monica's new
federal building," Henry C. Newton
of tha architectual firm of Newton
and Murray announced today from
ble office ln Los Angeles
Newton reported he bad Just returned from the Long Beach earthquake zone, where he made a detailed study of damage done by last
week's quake, la an effort to obtain
data that would lead to the development af a more resistant type of
construction.
-Henna Workmanship
Aa a result of my observations, not
only here, but at Santa Barbara.
Hemet, and Inglewood following the
earthquakes In those cities," Newton
said, "I believe that .much of the
damage can be ascribed to poor construction work. Existing building ordinances are sound in the main, but
the work Ib not sufficiently supervised and inspected while lt is In
progress."
The advantage of this inspection,
Newton asserted, has been demonstrated on buildings which his firm
constructed in the-earthquake zone,
and which remained unscathed.
Brick  Churrh   Stands
"One of our large brick churches
at Downey came through without
a crack, while a one story brick store
across the street collapsed. A 15-
room school which we built at Inglewood was undamaged, while. the
postoffice building in the same
neighborhood ls in a serious condition. At Wilmington, one of our
churches which has a 150-foot
tower is ln perfect condition, although the shock was very severe ln
that district."
To  Start  Study
Brickwork on most of the buildings which collapsed. Newton said,
was Insufficiently reinforced, and
laid up with insufficient mortar. "In
the event that the government
specifies brick for Santa Monica
federal building, we will see to it
that It is reinforced throughout and
properly constructed. We will have
the work under continuous supervision from tha time it ls begun
until the contract la completed."
Newton reported that his office
expected to receive the government's
"program of requirements'' for the
Santa Monica building within the
next week, and said preliminary
studies for the structure would be
started at once upon receipt of these
Instructions.

SEEK AID OF RFC
FOB HOME OWNERS
LONO BEACH, March 15 UP)—
While repercussions of last Friday's
destructive earthquake continued ta
milder shocks, civic organizations of
Long Beach today planned a concerted appeal to congress to amend
the reconstruction finance corporation act in order to allow aid for
the reconstruction of private dwellings.
The 42nd and 43rd tremors of the
series, strong shocks apparently
reaching all sections of the vast
earthquake zone, were felt at 9:40
o'clock last night and at 3:14 a, m.
today.
No More Serious Damage
The ftrtt lasted about five seconds. The second came ta three
quick jolts. It was preceded by a
loud rumble In Huntington Park. In
Long Beach it stopped a police station clock and Jarred down loose
bricks from buildings already partially wrecked, but apparently it did
no serious damage
Representatives of civic organizations said that unless the reconstruction finance corporation act is
amended. Long Beach will be required to appeal to the nation
through the Red Cross for approximately $25,000,000 to restore its private residences.
Congress already bas agreed to
appropriate $5,000,000 for victims of
the earthquake and the Red Cross
has made an appeal for $500,000 for
immediate relief.
Prepare New  Building Code
The damage to private residences
is expected to approximate $25,-
000,000, the majority of tbe owners
being ta no financial condition at
this time to "restore their dwellings.
The rehabilitation committee,
temporarily forgetting its civic
pride, led the movement ta asking
that the reconstruction finance corporation act be amended ta order
that the Immediate reconstruction
of private dwellings might he made.
An emergency building ordinance
was. being rushed through by the
[city council, with the approval of
Charles S. Henderson, the rehabilitation committee dictator, which
crflletTfor Increased safety precautions as well as for the principle
| of- beautiflcatloii.

With at least 75 per cent of the
city's structures damaged, Henderson said the city will be unable to
finance without outside help the
plan for rehabilitation."
