GRANT TO ARRANGE
OIL PLANT PARLEY
Writes President Of Sun Com
pany Regarding ArIing-
ton Project.

Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, executive
officer Of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which Is inter-
ested in any development touching park
expansion, has written to j. Howard
Pew, president Of the Sun Oil Co. Of
Philadelphia, which proposes to erect
tanks and wharves just north cf the
Virginia side Of the Key Bridge, on the
Potomac River, and Rosslyn, Va, advis-
range conference on the subject. Mr..
Pew had previously communicated with
the colonel. suggesting conference, the
date for which has not yet been set.
The first conference will be held with
Col. Grant, but it is considered that the
matter will be brought to the atten-
ton Of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, as developments
proceed.
Attitude Of Cooperation.
Col Grant made it clear that he does
not take the position that the Oil COM
pany should be attacked, inasmuch as
its officials have shown disposition to
cooperate, and modify their plans, so
as to fit in with the Governments
program.
The suggestion has been put forward
that the company might conceal its
Rosslyn and that the Governments
parkway project up to Chain Bridge
might proceed uninterruptedly.
Question Of Ownership.
The question of who has the legal
title to the land on the Virginia shore
of the Potomac River, in the vicinity
of Rosslyn will likely loom large in the
picture, the Governments claim being
based on the position that its title rests
on the old 1891 high-water shore line,
and that wharves and docks may not
be built there without a permit from
the War Department. The Government
may be able to show that it has riparian
rights there.
Tentative plans call for development
of parkway from the Arlington
Memorial Bridge terminus northerly
along the Virginia shore of the Potomac
River up to Chain Bridge. Later. it Is
proposed to extend this riverside boule-
ward up to Great Falls on the Old Do
minion side, but the cost at this time
is deemed prohibitive.

BALLOU CHARGED
WITH 'UNFA|RNESS
IN SCHOOL FIGHT
Park View Citizens Group
President Writes to Edu-
cation Board.
EXPLAINS RESOLUTION
ON PUPILS ADMISSION
Denies Accusation That Association
Is Attempting to Build
Barrier.

When the Park View Citizens Asso-
citation executive committee adopted
resolution to the effect that any child
living in that community be permitted
to enroll in that school and remain there
until he Is graduated, it contemplated
that such pupils should be admitted to
the Park View Cor any other) school only
II there is room for them,'' 1t was declared
by Fred s. Walker, president of the as
sociation, in a letter addressed to DR..
Charles F. Carusi, president Of the
Board OF Education, and made public
today, in reply to interpretations of the
resolution which school officials have
made.
Mr. Walker contended that the state
ment Of DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
intendent Of schools, before the School
Board meeting Wednesday, that the
adoption Of such policy as the Park
View Association proposed would "erect
wall around every school in the Dis
trict." and the statement yesterday.
attributed to school officials, to the
effect that the resolution induced
brand-new issue in the Park View-Mon-
roe School dispute, was highly unfair
to the Park View position.
Explains Resolution.
"Our resolution contemplated that
such pupils should be admitted to the
Park View School only If there is room
for them," Mr.. Walker wrote. Nat
urally, there could not be if all the
seats were filled. And it seems to me
highly unfair to attempt to confuse the
board with such misinterpretation of
our resolution. The first issue before
the board Is the return of the 81 pupils
transferred to Monroe. The board can
permit this without violating any sacred
precepts and without changing any ex-
isting policies"
Citing the second and third points in
the executive committees resolution:
That new pupils of families in which
older children are attending Park View
School be also permitted to attend that
school, and that since the Park View
School is the only platoon school in
the District, that any parents in the
Park View community be permitted to
enroll their children in that building,
Mr.. Walker contends these points
should be allowed because both have
been done in the past and there is
nothing unreasonable in either"
Placed in Incorrect Light.
Mr.. Walker told the school board
president that school officials reported
yesterday place 'our side of the con-
troversy in an incorrect light" and
added he sees no reason why "our
side of the case should not receive as
much prominence as that of the off,
cials at the Franklin School"
The Franklin administration officials
today, however, stood by their conten-
tions and interpretations of the Park
View Association executive committee.
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant
superintendent, declared they had not
sought to introduce added heat in the
controversy involving the transfer Of
the 81 children. but we're anxious cnly
to present to the board a true state
ment of the real import such action as
that proposed by the association.
