CLASH OVER z0N!NG
FEATURES HEARING.
Civic Bodies and Operative
Builders Differ on Proposed
Restriction.

Another clash between represent
atives of civic organizations and op-
erative builders over the amendment
to the coming regulations designed to
keep all types of houses except de-
tached out of restricted residential
sections, featured a lengthy session of
the Zoning Commission today in the
boardroom of the District Building.
The arguments today centered on
proposal to reZone a large area in
North Washington from residential
and b to residential A restricted,
where only detached houses would be
allowed. The territory involved is
bounded on the west by Third street,
on the south by Concord avenue, on
the east by New Hampshire avenue,
Riggs road and the District line, on
the north by the line of A restricted
area, approximately 100 feet south of
QuackenbOS street. west of North
Capitol street and by Rittenhouse
street east of North Capitol street,
except the commercial property within
this territory.
Opposition Is Recorded.
The proposal was indorsed by
Thomas Joy Of the Chillum Castle
Heights Citizens Association and
Ernest II. Pullman Of the Manor Park
Citizens Association, whose commu-
mites would be affected by the change.
Opposition, however. came from Ed
ward F. COlladay, representing G. H.
Galliher. owner of a large tract in
volved. Mr.. Colladay offered no OBJ
lection to the change except in the
specific tract owned by his client.
The commission heard an echo from
a similar battle at it's hearing last
kAd
that the remarks of Harry Wardnan
be expunged from the record. AT
this hearing Mr.. Wardman described
Mr.. Pullman as nuisance" Her
bert Wilson another representative of
the Manor Park Association who also
was branded similarly by Mr.. Ward
man, told the commission that he
did not consider himself damaged by
the remark and would not ask that 1t
be stricken from the record.
Plan for Union Station Plaza.
No objection was offered to the
commissions plan to adopt uni
form height area Of 80 feet in the
commercial zone around the Union
Station Plaza. Engineer Commits
sioner J. Franklin Bell, chairman of
the commission, explained that the
proposal had the Endorsement of the
Commission of Fine Arts. The prop
erty affected by the proposed change
ADULTS the east side Of Second street
northeast between Massachusetts
avenue and F street, the south side
of d street northeast, between First
street and Massachusetts avenue, and
the south side of Massachusetts ave-
nue. between ID and Third streets
northeast.
The petition of the Acacia Mutual
Life Association for reZoning of
property bounded by Indiana avenue,
New Jersey avenue, ID and Second
streets, SO as to allow a 90-foot
height, also met with no opposition.
Plans Of the association to erect a
large home office building on the site
were outlined by Paul B. Cromelin.

XRDL|CKA TRACING
EARLY AMERICANS
Museum Official Back From
Trip in Effort to Identity
Continent Settlers.

DIR. Ales Hrdlicka. curator Of phys
ical anthropology of the Natlonai
Museum, returned to Washington yes
terday after Summer spent In
Alaska in an effort to trace the migra.
tions of the earliest inhabitants OF
North America.
In the course of his explorations
DIR. Hrdlicka went as FAR nortn at
Point Barrow on the Arctic coast OF
Alaska and the farthest north settle
ment under the American flag.
lie has brought back to Washing
ton one Of the largest additions ever
made to the anthropological and eth
biological collections of the museum
These include numerous articles thai
shed much light on the earlier days
of the human race on this continent
Alaska Key to Problem.
DR.. Hrdlicka visited Alaska as the
key to q problem that has caused con
siderable controversy at times-how
man got to North America. In com
mon with most anthropologists who
have studied the problem he has held
that the North American Indians
were Of Asiatic origin and that the
most probable course of their migra
ton was across Bering Strait, where
the headlands of the two continents
are almost in sight of each other or
a clear day.
The theory has been that it would
not have been beyond the ability OF
primitive people, seeking new hunt
ing grounds, to have pushed their
boats from island to island until they
arrived on the North American coast
From that time on, with successive
parties following in the steps of the
first, the peopling of a continent was
simply matter of expanding south
ward.
DIR. Hrdlicka sought also this Sum
mer to trace the courses Of this mi
grafton into the interior and south
ward.
He succeeded in gathering an i'm
mense amount of new data this Sum
mer, much of which he will bring
out at a meeting Of the Smithsonian
Institution staff in a few days and
which will constitute a permanent
and valuable contribution to the sci
ence of anthropology.
DIR. Hrdlicka said today his observa
tions this Summer convinced him
thoroughly. of the truth Of the Berine
Strait theory Of the origin of mar
on this continent, but he was not pre-
pared to go further into the subject
The explorations this Summer en-
tailed a great deal of exceptionally
hard work and some time will be re
quired to classify the collections.

GARDEN CITY, n. Y, September
22.-Walter Hagen finished the first
half Of his second round match against
Dick Grout of Oklahoma City in the
Professional Golf Association cham
pionship today with a lead of three
holes.
Grout hung closely to the defending
champion until the sixteenth, where
his game collapsed after he had cut
Hagen's margin from up to single
hole.
He missed big opportunity to
square the match at the short, par
3 sixteenth, where Hagen tossed his
ball into a trap. Grout also became
trapped, however, and then expended
three strokes rescuing the buried ball.
He finally holed out in 6 to Hagen s a.
At the seventeenth, Grout was in the
rough all the way for another s to
Hagan's 5.
Doyle Leads CrichtOn.

Mamaroneck, n. Y. down.
Doyle had consistently good morn
ing round with II.
Farrells putter responded to his
touch with excellent results today
against the Californian, as 1t had yes
terday against Watrous. After they
had halved the first four holes the
Eastern professional began to sink
the ball from all corners of the green,
to take the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth. They then played on even
terms during the remainder of the
morning round.
Mike Brady of Mamaroneck, n. Y.

den of Paterson, n. j., who posted
the surprise of the first round by
eliminating Harry Cooper, created an
other stir today when he finished the
! first lap up on Gene Sarazen, former
professional and open champion.
Cutting loose with an eagle 3 at
the very first hole. the New Jersey
player took an early lead over Sara
zen which the former title holder was
never able to overcome, although he
played the Is holes in "a. only two
strokes over par, to Golden's 72
Golden's plays on the greens stood
out as the feature of a well rounded
game. which threatened to bring about
the biggest upset of the second round
Sarazen was 4 down coming to
the sixteenth tee. Here Golden drop
ped his shot into a trap for to
Sarazen's par 3, while on the home
green Gene sank a 30-footer for a
birdie to slice another hole off the
New Jersey players advantage.

Before those in the pit had time
