The Republican congressional cam

Wood of Indiana, chairman of the
Republican congressional campaign
committee, who was a White House
caller, said that, while the Republic
cans do not expect to create any great
havoc in the south or to put much of
a dent in the so-calfed solid south, his
committee is preparing to wrest three
or four seats in the House of Repre-
sentatives from the Democrats.
Representative Wood has been IN

the plan SO far decided upon calls for

T.J.FISHER FILES REQUEST

The coming commission today re-
ceived application to zone a large
part of the proposed Union Station
plaza parkway for business purposes.
The petition was filed by Thomas
J. Fisher d Co., as agents for the
Real Estate Improvement Company
and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
The commission is asked to zone this
large tract first commercial and per
nit building height of S5 feet.
which, the application states, would
make the property available for
hotels, or similar structures.
When Washington was first zoned
several years ago: the plaza was left
without any official zoning deSigna-
ton, because of the general belief
that the entire tract either already
was or eventually would be acquired
by the government. Consequently, on
the official zoning map, this land. ly-
ing between the Capitol and the Union
station. is brown. the color assigned
to government property.
Land Now Occupied.
The application filed today serves
as a reminder that the government
has not completed acquiring the plaza
parkway and the applicants therefore
request that it be given a zoning des-
ignation. setting forth in the letter
that they have received many offers
for the use of the land.
Engineer Commissioner Bell, chair
man of the commission, stated today
that the commission has not had an
opportunity to decide on what course
of action it will take.
The squares sought to be zoned first
commercial are 632, and from $50 to
6S4. This embraces much of the land
lying between the station, the Cap
itol, North Capitol street and 1st
street east.
If the zoning commission should
decide to hold a public hearing on
the application it is expected that
it would have the effect of reviving
interest in the proposed plaza park
way development. At the present
time. consid era BILE portion of the
plaza is occupied by temporary struc-
lures erected during the war to house
