Plans are Offered
In the midst Of the debate
over whether the buildings should
be placed in the Southwest sec
tion, facing Maryland Avenue, or
in the section west Of Seven
teenth Street Northwest, various
compromise proposals are being
brought forth, but none Of them
has a real chance Of being ac-
cepted, officials say.
One Of these proposals calls
for the construction Of either the
War or Navy Department build
ing in the Southwest section,
and the other on the Northwest
site. This would serve for q
balanced development" Of the
city, its sponsors say, and would
prove a satisfactory way out
Of the present dilemma.
Opponents Of this plan point
to the fact that II would defeat
any unified administration Of
the Army and Navy and place the
two services virtually at opposite
ends Of the Mall. It is as
strongly opposed by the Fine Arts
Commission as was the plan TO
place both structures in the
