, ,inadequately. as National Guard
armory, it was pointed out.
This would precipitate a serious
problem, since it would leave the
Guard once more without a home.
The armory problem should be solved
at once, without regard to the audi
torium proposal Park and Planning
officials feel. General opinion, they
said, is against combining an armory
and auditorium. There is no objec-
ton on the part of National Guard
officers, however, to the combining
of the armory with sports center,
they said.
The commission believes that the
combined armory and sports center
not only would be a very useful
building, but that it could be made
to pay its own way.
Separate Buildings Planned.
The original plan for the East
Capitol street development, Mr.. No
len said, called for separate build
ings for an armory and sports CEN
ter, north and south of a great
plaza at the east end of East Capitol
street. This plan called for sta
dunn with seating capacity of up
to 100 900 persons on site south of
Benning road and east of Nine
teenth street on land partially in
Anacostia Park and partially in pri-
vate ownership but not then devel-
oped.
Since preparation of the original
plans about five years ago, however,
these private lands have been ex-
tensively developed for residential
purposes and the cost tremendously
increased. Accordingly, new plans
have been drawn to fit the reali-
ties of the situation. The armory
and sports center now have been
combined into one building, to be
located south of the plaza at the
east end of East Capitol street and
the stadium has been allocated the
site north of the plaza, necessitat-
ing reduction in the size of the
stadium to perhaps 10000 seats,
which could be increased by double
decking, however. Most of the land
at this site already is publicly owned
and the expense would be relatively
much less.
The scaling down of the original
plan, however, represents no change
in the opinion of the Park and Plan
ming Commission as regards the de-
STABILITY of separate buildings for
the auditorium and the armory-
sports center, it was explained.
Other major features of the East
Capitol street project remain un-
changed. The plans call for 30
acre sports field. and parade ground
overlooking the Anacostia River east
of the great plaza on which would
also front the armory-sports center
building and the stadium. Seats for
about 10000 spectators would be con-
structed along the west side of the
field. Thus the plan would provide
facilities for the largest indoor and
outdoor sports, pageants and cere-
monies in the same area.
South of the sports field. railroad
terminal facilities are planned for
both freight and passenger service.
Ample automobile parking space and
traffic approaches to the area exist
to meet all foreseeable needs, it was
explained.

opinions OF readers are inuited.
There should be no conflict be-
tween the proposed national audi
torium in the Municipal Center area
and the projected National Guard
armory and sports center at the east
end of East Capitol street, in the
opinion of John Nolen, jr., director
of planning Of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
There is a definite need for both
projects, perhaps the most urgent
need being for the armory- sports
center building, for which site on
the south side of East Capitol street
adjoining the Anacostia Parkway
has been selected.
THE attitude of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission toward the auditorium. arm
ory-stadium problem has remained
unchanged.for a. long time" Mr.. No.
len explained. II do not believe the
auditorium and armory-sports. CEN
ter plans a.e in conflict. Whatever
confusion may exist is, perhaps, due
only to a confusion of nomencla-
ture.
Sports Building in Mind.
Even before the auditorium ques-
ton came up the commission had
in mind sports building as part of
its major plan for the development
of the area at the end Of East Ca jitol
street. This building was conceived
as a structure inclosing a large,
open space in which sporting events
of various kinds could be held. 1t
would not be a costly type of con-
struction and would by no means
answer the diverse requirements of
a modern auditorium, with air con-
ditioning, special acoustical treat:
ment, stage, smaller meeting rooms,
exhibit space. etc"
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. it was ex-
planned. is not promoting" either
the auditorium or the armory-sports
center. 1t is merely providing in
its plans for the long-range de-
velopment of the National Capital
for two buildings of separate types
for functions which it was felt can
not properly be combined.
"The commission, however, is
never through with its studies," Mr..
Nolen explained, indicating that no
hard and fast decision yet has been
reached. I'VE are always ready to
make necessary changes of plans to
meet new conditions and new re-
quirements. 1t is the duty of the
commission to keep the development
plan for Washington up to date at
all times and this necessarily re-
quires continual adjustments to
meet changing conditions"
Favor Armory-Sports Plan.
1t is the opinion of officials of the
Park and Planning Commission that
the East Capitol street amory-
sports project would meet q more
urgent current need than does the
auditorium project, and it certainly
would involve smaller expenditure.

 The price since yesterday, then the seasons peak here, has gone up fraction of a cent on second grade fish.
 Fishermen here are now getting only slightly less than at Seattle and about the same as Prince Ru- pert, while for other halibut ports, Juneau is buying at higher prices.
 Short stocks of some fresh fish buyers and resultant brisk bidding is given as the reason for the un- usual prices here.
