2 AUD|TORIUMS
IND. IF BILLS
ARE APPROVED
Park Board Ready to
Submit Its Plan

Two projects for which Wash
ington mas long worked and
planned seemed likely today to get
under way this year.
It was learned that the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission is about ready to submit
its stadium -armory- center
project to the Budget Bureau in
legislative form, for budgetary ap-
proval prior to submission to Con-
gress.
As the chairman Of the commits
sion is Frederic Delano, and Presl.
dent Roosevelt is much interested
In the commissions program, 1t
appeared probable that the bill
authorizing it to go ahead will
be sent to the Capitol without
delay.
$4,000, 900 PROJECT
There it will fird another meas
ure in the hopper providing for a
national auditorium to be built on
property fronting on Constitution
Avenue at the foot of Capitol Hill,
to cost $4,000, 900 and, except for
the site, to be financed from Fed
eral funds.
This project, an outgrowth Of a
study made by a presidential COM
mission, including Secretary Of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes and Sen
ator Tom Connally. Of Texas,
would meet a demand of long.
standing for an auditorium big
enough to be used for the largest
national conventions. and provid-
ing in addition facilities for smaller
gatherings, concerts, expoSitionS
and civic activities.
NO CONFLICT
Park and Planning officials said
today there is no conflict between
the two proposals. The plan for
the stadium and armory on the
AnacoStia River at East Capitol
Street contemplates a hall large
enough to eat 10000 persons. This
would be used alternately for Ma
tional Guard drills. indoor sport
events or other purposes. but would
not compete with the larger and
better equipped auditorium pro-
vided for in the Connally bill, as
now planned.
Senator Connally, who first
launched the auditorium project
in the last Congress- with the I'm.
derStanding that the PWA would
put up the money to build it, pro
vided the District contributed the
site, said he hoped to have the au.
thorization approved early In the

Laundry Expansion Rumor

The Burleith Citizens Association
last night instructed its officials to
contact the House of the Good Shep-
herd. Thirty sixth and Reservoir
road NV, on a constantly recur-
ring" rumor that the institution
intends to expand its laundry.
Norman W. Fields, president of
the association, expressed the opin-
ion that the square occupied by the
Catholic institution was already
filled to capacity and that the erec-
ton of any new laundry building
would require a supporting wall on
r street which would spoil the view
of residents in the 3600-b block of
that street and lower property
values.
The resolution authorizing the in
quiry was made by Walton Onslow
Geoffrey Creyhe, secretary of the
association, outlined progress being
made in renewal Of restrictive cove
nants which expired this year. The
covenants restrict owners from SELL
ing property to be used for liquor
stores, for the erection of estab-
lishments of less than $1,000 value
"and kindred purposes which cause
loss of property value in the neigh
borhood."
Donald T. Shehan. head of the
educational service of the Tuber-
culosis Association, gave an illus
trated lecture.

Correct Procedure for Greeting
kino and Queen Revealed

When presented to the Queen, you
bow all over again, and never, never
says the State Department-kiss
her hand.
When you leave their majesties
you bow again, and when you reach
the door there must be still another
bow. No matter how many times
you enter or leave the room, you
bow at the door.
American women go through
much the same routine, except that
they may curtsy If they wish. Re-
member this: Curtsy with the left
foot behind the right.
If you meet the King and Queen
in a crowded room, the State De-
partment cautions you to be sure
that no chairs are behind you, be-
cause you must back away from
their majesties.
If you fell over a chair or bumped
into a lady, the State Department
would feel very badly about 1t.
How many Americans will meet
the King and Queen?
Some officials estimate about 5000.
That's D lot Of backs and knees to
bend.
Evening star., 1939-05-10
BY the Associated Press.


If Americans bend over to welcome
the King and Queen of England,
their visit Is going to leave a lot
of stiff backs and sore knees.
To greet them correctly, man
should follow these rules which the
State Department is passing out:
The first bow should occur when
six feet away. It should not be an
ordinary bow. but low and from the
hips, arms at the side, heels to-
gether and neck stiff.
Then the man should walk three
feet forward and watch the King
closely. If His Majesty holds out
his hand, there must be another
bow-but not such a deep one.
Let the King speak first.
The State Department is reas-
suring about this point. Oncials
say he probably will ask about the
weather. The reply should be .
general one and never personal.
1t would be very bad taste, for in
stance, to answer: "Yes, it Is hot.
How are you standing IT." Or:
Does the humidity get you down7"
