AUDITORIUM
| PLANS MAY Be
D|SAPPR0YED
Expect Objection to Adopt
ing Specifications
Without Site.
COMES UP MONDAY
Pfeiffer's Position Not
Changed by Change Of
Administration.

Disapproval of plans for San An
tonio's new auditorium which have
been prepared by a local architect
and filed with the city clerk is eX-
pected when they are submitted to
members of the city commission Mon
day afternoon. A conference was
called for o'clock Monday after
noon when a communication was read
before the commission last Thursday
from the architect, requesting that
the plans be inspected.
Commissioner Phil Wright, at the
time made it known that he does not
expect to give his approval TO the
plans, or any plans in fact, until it
has been definitely determined where
the auditorium is to be built. Al
though the Black majority i'll the
council months ago ruled that the
auditorium should be built on Madi-
son Square, no definite action was
ever taken because the city was
threatened with litigation if it at
tempted to use this park for an audi
forum site. Heirs of the donors
claimed that such use would cause
the park to revert TO them.
Commissioner Ray Lambert. who
opposed the building of the auditorium
on Madison Square is also known 10
oppose approval of any plans which
were drawn with the end in view Of
placing it at this point. He. as well
as Commissioner Wright, is in favor
of building TIE auditorium on the
Romano site which was purchased
for that purpose. They both take
the position that plans drawn Tor the
Madison Square site would not be
suitable for a building to be erected
on the Romano site.
Commissioner John L. Pfeiffer, al
though he still favors locating the
auditorium on Madison Square, is
understood to be opposed 70 apprcv-
ing any plans and letting n contract
for tine auditorium in view of the
short time the Black administration
has - serve. He has oo;r;ed out
that his faction assailed the previous
administration for letting contracts
after its defeat and does not care 10
follow their example. In other words,
Commissioner Pfeiffer believes that if
the Tobin administration is to take
the blame or accept the credit for
building the auditorium, it should

lenera1 Pershing Issues Instructions
on Style and Rhetoric.

In order that a high standard oil

b the official correspondence in the
Irmy, and in the correspondence be-
yeen the army and the public, Gen
Ohm J. Pershing has issued a bulletin
alling attention to the value of cor.
ct and concise usage of the language
correspondence. The General OF
be Armies pointed out that CORE.
bondence is as definite an index to
|laracter as either oral expression OF
bnduct and also called attention to
be value of the personal touch in
|Isiness correspondence. In the bull
ltin he said:
"A review of communications and
Fders issued from various War De-
hrtment agencies, as well as CORE
Pondence received from the service at
lrge, and literature distributed by
lie general and special service schools,
lows that a high standard Of excel.
lnce In composition is rarely at
lined.
Correspondence is as definitely an
|dex to character as either verbal ex-
tession or. conduct. and correct usage
Equires constant effort in the choice
words, the construction of sentences
ID the arrangement of paragraphs.
l"Words used to express an idea
E5efsbe carefully selected and so en-
Dyed as to convey clearly and force
bly, the exact meaning intended and
other. Sentences should be logi-
ply arranged in such sequence that

'hdily recognized.
"Brevity and conciseness, while de-
liable, should not be sought at the
pense of clear, accurate and agree

often lacking in correspondence

'These instructions are intended as
caution to individual officers to the
