Lack of Program in North
west Area Declared
Dangerous"
REPORT SEEKS TO AVOID
"MISTAKES IN POLICY"
Park Body Would Delay Work on
Five Buildings Until Prob.
lens Are Settled.

Preparation OF a group plan for the
so-called Northwest Triangle. compris-
ing the area west of the White Lot and
south OF the Interior Department. along
Seventeenth street and Constitution
avenue. was recommended by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission in a special report, made
public today by its executive officer,
Lieut.. Col. u. S. Grant, Sd.
Inviting attention to the point that
"at least five new buildings are pro-
posed for early construction in this
area"-the Public Health ONCE Build
ing, a heat plant, the Pan-American
Annex, the Naval Hospital, the Phsr-
maceutaical Building-the commission
asserted that it would be unwise to go
forward with this program without
having a plan for the whole area.
These proposed buildings have all
been located without reference to any
comprehensive plan for the simple rea-
son that no plan for the whole group
Of buildings in this area now exists"
the commission said. To proceed i'm
mediately to construction Of any of
these buildings. prior to the prepare
ton of group plan, would be a great
mistake in policy and extremely dam
gerous as 20 its result"
The recommendations, embodied in
the special report, were drafted in ac-
cordance with the vote of the COM
mission in March and were prepared
by Frederick Law Olmsted, q member
of the commission and landscape archi-
tect of Brookline, Mass.
Many Problems Raised.
The report asserted action of the
Public Buildings Commission in APP
proving sites for buildings to accommo-
date the new War and Navy Depart
ment Buildings in the area west of the
White Lot and south of the In
terror Department raises numerous
problems in design, street arrangement
etc"
Ample provision for the movement
through this area of important tides
of traffic on reasonably direct and con-
Venient lines and so related to the
proposed buildings as to minimize ill.,
reference and conflict between thi,
through traffic and the proper local
uses of the remaining land for buildings
and their accessories, was urged in the
report.
Development OF Constitution avenue
and Of the public building areas on both
sides of the Mall. east of the White
House, the report maintained. will
mean that Virginia avenue, already
much travelled, will become q still more
important interceptor of trafdc bound
TO and from the entire northwest region
of the District of Columbia and its
environs."

ARCHITECTS NAMED
FOR j. S. BUILDING
New Coast Guard Quarters
Will Be Designed by Chi
Cago Firm.

The United States Coast Guard Build
Federal triangle, between Constitution
and Pennsylvania avenues, Sixth and
Seventh streets, will be designed by the
architectural firm of Bennett, Parsons
81 Frost OF Chicago, it was announced
today by the Treasury Department.
contract has been entered into be-
tween the Government and this firm of
architects for architectural services"
on this unusual building, which is to
occupy a position of great Importance
in the new program.
Located at the extreme eastern point
Of the triangle, this structure will be
nearest TO the Capitol Building of all
buildings in the great triangle bounded
by PENNSYLVANIA avenue. Constitution
avenue, Fourteenth street and Sixth
street.
Ship Design Suggested.
One reason for the selection of the
United States Coast Guard for this site
was that there have been suggestions
that the building for the Coast Guard,
Of triangular shape, might lend itself to
the suggestion of a ships prov. point
ing to the Capitol Building, at the fore
front of the monumental array of build
ings behind it, all the way back to Four
tenth street. Final decision on the de-
sign Of the building, however, has not
been made and it is not certain that
the ships prov idea will be carried out.
Acquiring Property.
The Treasury Department already is
acquiring property in the little triangle
needed for the Coast Guard Building,
and will continue with the acquisition
program until all the property is in the
hands of the Government.
The architectural firm which will de-
sign the building is headed by Edward
H. Bennett of Chicago, who is chairman
of the Treasury Board OF Architectural
Consultants. Mr.. Bennett is also doing
the architectural landscaping for the
grand plaza and the great circle in the
large Federal triangle. He IS working
on plans for effective night lighting of
the great group of Federal buildings so
as to give them an impressive and
artistic appearance at night
The appropriation made by Congress
for the Coast Guard Building is
100000.
