Sound Policy.

Commenting yesterday on the site for
the proposed Social Security Board
Building, The Star enormously described
the location as Northwest, instead Of
Southwest. Washington. In acknowledge
ing this mistake, arising through cir
cumstances unnecessary to repeat here,
The Star commends the letter of Fred
eric A. Delano, chairman of the Park
and Planning Commission, to Chairman
Woodrum OF the House Appropriations
Subcommittee in charge OF the build
ing project. Mr.. Delano called atten-
ton to the new buildings planned for
Southwest Washington, which, he says,
should lead to rehabilitation not only
OF Southwest Washington. but should
also provide stimulus to residential
development to the east, and therefore
produce a better balance In the growth
OF the city than now obtains with 50
much Government development In the
Northwest"
This policy, The Star believes, is
wholly sound and deserves the continued
support Of Washington planners in the
development Of more balanced Capt.
tai City.
