FIGHT.
BUSINESS zON|NG
Proposed Change on East
Side of goth Street Is
Opposed.

Owners of large number Of proper
ties, some of them personal friends
and neighbors, were arrayed against
each other today in a hearing before
the Zoning Commission on a proposal
to Change from residential to flrst COM
mercial use the East side Of Twentieth
street between Florida avenue and r
street.
This was the first of ~ proposed
changes on the schedule of the current
hearing of the zoning Commission, one
of three to be held this year. While
two new groups of petitioners and OPP
ponents were involved In this case, 1t
developed into repetition of old COM
plants caused by the spreading Of COM
mercial activities into residential sec
tons.
Castle Joins Opposition.
William r. Castle, jr., Undersecre-
tary Of the State, who opposed the
change in q letter filed with the COM
mission. was one Of the property own
ers of the vicinity protesting extension
Of the commercial area. The extension
is being sought by DR.. j. Lawn Thomp-
son and T. A. Scott Thropp.
Opposition of the Dupont Circle Citi-
zens' Association was registered by a
spokesman, who said he also represented
Dr. Thomas A. Clayton, j. H. Purdy
and Mrs. Minna johnson. Edward w.
Dom, jr, also was listed as opposed.
In urging the change, DR.. Thomp-
son declared the roar of traffic through
the section and the parking Of large
feet Of taxicabs there had made his
property unusable as a residence.
Speakers opposing the change con-
tended Characterization of the east
side of Twentieth street would consti-
tute an entering wedge for further ex-
tension Of business into neighboring
areas.
Escape Criticism.
No opposition was recorded to an
other petition which would make pos
sible the construction Of building OF
maximum height under coming on the
north side of I street between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets. This change was
sought by Charles Henry Butler, a resi-
dent of the block, and William r. Ellis,
who has an ONCE in the area, who
asked that the height limit on the sec
ton be raised from 90 to ITO feet.
A contest developed over a renewed
attempt to change the coming of prop
erty on the southwest corner of Eleventh
street and Rhode Island avenue. where
the Northminster Presbyterian Church
is located. from residential to first COM
mercial use. The change was sought by
trustees Of the church, who said the
church could not be continued at that
location because its membership had
moved to other sections.
Opposing this change were II resi-
dents. who feared their properties
would be damaged by an increase Of
business nearby.

CURTIS GOES HOME
WITH PLAN UNTOLD
Vice President Fails to Tell
Party Whether He Seeks
denomination.

Vice President Curtis departed last
night for his home in Topeka, Kans.,
where he will stay month or So leav-
ing unanswered a question that now
Is to the fore In Republican political
circleS-whether he will again seek the
vice presidential nomination or run for
his old seat in the Senate, occupied by
q Democrat.
IT have decided nothing. I may have
something to say In the Fall: may
not" was the word he left here, ac-
cordip1 to the Associated Press.
Asked to Keep Office.
While there was speculation in some
administration circles recently over new
vice presidential timber, it Is known
that Republican chieftains have ap-
pealed to Curtis to stand for renomi-
nation.
They fear possible adverse effect
or the party If Curtis decided not to
run again with President Hoover. While
Curtis has been a loyal member Of the
Hoover family, his friends say he does
not consider himself bound as to the
future.
In other words. If Curtis believes
the prospects better for his return to
the Senate than his chances of re-
election to his present position, there
will abandon the vice presidency for
the Senate race.
Succeeded by Allen.
Curtis was succeeded in the Senate
by Henry j. Allen, an appointee Of
former Gov. Reed. Allen was defeated
last election by Senator McGill. a
Democrat. The term expires next year
Since his future course became open
to speculation Curtis has received a
large amount of mail on the subject.
He said most Of the letters from Kan
saS had appealed to him to run again
for the Senate. But, he added. most of
the mail from outside the State has
urged him to run again for the vice
presidency.
Curtis served In the House and Sen
ate for more than a quarter of CEN
fury before becoming Vice President.
He stood second to Hoover at the Kan
sas City presidential convention in
1928.
