Planning Commission Fa-
VorS "NorthWeSt Rec
tangle" Program.
FINE ARTS MEMBERS
BACK AVENUE PROJECT
Will Meet Jointly Tomorrow to
Discuss Expansion Pro-
cedure.

A sharp difference of opinion is de-
veloping between the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
and the Fine Arts Commission over
just where future buildings for the
Federal Government should be To-
Gated. The two groups are to convene
in joint seSSi ion tomorrow and will
discuss this topic. among others In
which they are mutually interested.
The planners, after half q years
study, have evolved a map and model
of the Northwest rectangle," showing
the Federal Government should take
the land between E street and Con-
stitution avenue, Eighteenth street
and the Potomac River as the future
home of executive branches of the
Government. The Fine Arts Com
mission is known to favor the con-
struction Of Government buildings
along both sides of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., from Seventeenth street to Rock
Greek Valley.
Would Avoid Masses.
The attitude of the planners, as
expressed by John Nolen, jr., director
OF planning Of the Park Commission,
Is that there should be no mass of
buildings around a main thorough
fare. For this reason the program
outlined by Harvey Wiley Corbett,
famous Chicago architect, to have
future Government buildings at the
intersection Of New York and Vir-
ginia avenues, has been eliminated In
the newest study. In place of the
mass buildings an open plaza now is
contemplated.
Although the Fine Arts Commission
has not officially taken up the prob
lem, 1t Is known that some officials
look with disfavor on the Government
expending huge sums of money to ac-
quire a brewery, the Washington Au-
dttorium and large apartment houses,
as will be necessary II the Planning
Commissions tentative plans are car
ried through. More reasonably priced
land is available along Pennsylvania
avenue, in the opinion of some of the
fine arts officials.
The model, prepared by William T.
Partridge, consulting architect of the
Planning Commission, is on exhibition
at A Century of Progress Exposition
at Chicago. The Planning Commits
sion has not adopted this study as
the permanent development program,
but 1t does embody the commissions
ideas.
Conflict on Hospital.
Another place where the Planning
and Fine Arts Commissions do not see
eye to eye is in regard to the new
Naval Hospital. The model shows the
new structure where the present war
built wards are located. The Fine
Arts Commission. however, would like
to see the new Naval Hospital in the
vicinity of Walter Reed Hospital.
In that area, grouped around Aspen
street, the Fine Arts Commission
would like to see a medical center de-
veloped, with both Army and Navy
having joint facilities for the study
Of diseases and surgical cases. The
fine arts authorities say it Is a dupIi-
cation to have both services expend-
ing money for similar facilities, which
could be avoided in the construction
Of the medical center.

these strangely human animals. 1t
is a natural habitat. They abounded
through this part Of the country in
Colonial days. Trapped ruthlessly
they soon were largely exterminated
IN the East. partly because OF the
demand Of their fur for British uni
forms and partly because their lum-
bering activities were considered q
nuisance.
In recent years both Pennsylvania
and New York have demonstrated
that they can be restored, and again
constitute a valuable fur resource and
contribute TO the interest Of forest
life. It is essential. however. that
there be a co-ordinated program be-
tween the Federal Government and
all the States suitable for the an
imals. The Beltsville park. it is pro-
posed, will be a center of this pro-
gram. There the habits and diseases
of beaver will be studied. What is
necessary TO re-establish them in the
vast areas Of marginal land which
will be taken out of farming will be
studied.
With the beaver will come musk
rats. They still are abundant In
swamp areas. but have been trapped
so ruthlessly that they are disappear
ing in some sections. There could
hardly be more valuable denizens Of
great stretches of marsh unsuitable for
any sort Of agriculture.

Migratory Bird
Preserve Established.


The Biological Survey has Just
established an 8,000-acre bird preserve
along the Blackwater River near Cam
bridge, Md, which will be used chiefly
as a migratory bird and muskrat
refuge. Dams are being constructed
to prevent salt water backing up into
the great tract of marshland which is
expected to serve as haven for ducks
and geese -on their annual migrations.
Survey biologists point out that the
muskrat is potentially a valuable ami
NAL in this part of the country and
may prove an important factor in
bringing about the release of mar
ginal lands. The success of this de-
pends, however, upon careful study of
the food habits, diseases and ways of
life of this creature. Otherwise, al
though it is very prolific, it might
soon be reduced to the point where
1t would be of little economic impor-
tance-as has been the case with the
marten and the fisher, which used to
be captured by the thousands over
North America, but which long since
have been so reduced that only a
few are taken each year.
