Ruling on Jefferson Memorial
Site Beyond Pouer, Board Says
authority Giren Special Congressional
Commission, Park and Planning Group
HOlds-C0nsiders Related Problems.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission lacks authority
to affect the location of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial, which Is projected
at the south of the Tidal Basin,
Thomas S. Settle, commission secre-
tary, said today, explaining that Con-
gress and President Roosevelt dele
gated that authority to the commits
sion they set up.
The Thomas jefferson Memorial
Commission, which is headed by Rep
resentative John j. Boylan, Democrat,
of New York, picked the site and Sc
lected the New York architect, John
Russell Pope, to design the memorial.
The Planning Commission is center
ing attention this afternoon on the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial especially
the most practical solution relating
to the plans for rearranging the Tidal
Basin, highway links to Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets and Highway
Bridge approaches. Some engineers
believe the extension of Seventeenth
street, southwark, through the water,
as planned, will be a difficult problem
and that it will take several years
for earthen fill for the roadbed to
settle.
Traffic Tunnel Considered.
The planners also instructed their
staff to give detailed study to the re-
vived proposal of constructing a traf-
fic tunnel under the National Zoo
logical Park, to permit cars to travel
directly in Rock Creek Valley, instead
of having to detour, when the Zoo
gates are closed after nightfall. The
Bureau of Public Roads submitted
preliminary plans to construct tun-
mel through the steep hill at the SOUTH
east corner of the Zoo Smithsonian
Institution officials few years ago
objected to tunnel directly beneath
the animal cages, contending it would
interfere with the rest of the beasts.
Meanwhile, another voice was raised
in opposition to the memorial design,
when the Washington Chapter of the
Federation of Architects, Engineers,
Chemists and Technicians, meeting
last night, voted to ask Congress for
an investigation into the question
able awarding of the work to Pope
1t opposed the design as completely
inappropriate as memorial to
Thomas Jefferson, because of its i'm
perial character so contrary to his true
democratic spirit"
The Washington Chapter urged an
open competition among architects so
that an effective design could be OBJ
tained for the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal.
At the next meeting of the chapter,
to be held the second Thursday in
April, these new officers will be in
stalled: President, John VaSta; record
ing secretary, Roy Frisbee; correspond
ing secretary, Joseph Letter and treas
urer, Bernard c. MCGEE. At that time,
officials said, further opposition to the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial will be
formulated.
