Hotel on 18th Street
StotIer Corp. Outlines
Plans for l0-Story.
1000 Room Structure

Spokesman for the Statler Hotel
Corp. today outlined to the Board
of zoning Adjustment plans to erect
q q, soc, 900, 19-story, 1,000-room ho-
tel on the east side of Sixteenth
street, from K to L streets NV.
They asked for q variance from
existing zoning rules on a portion
Of the property to permit height
of 1lO feet as a uniform level for
the rear of the building. On the
Sixteenth street side, the building
would be 30 feet high. Under exist
ing zoning, the building could be
carried to a height of l30 feet with
setbacks in the upper stories on the
K street frontage.
Some objections were voiced by

Committee of One Hundred on the
Federal City, who said that as mat
ter of principle, ne felt height limits
and lot occupancy rules should be
enforced. Mr.. Consaul questioned
whether the board had authority to
grant an exception in height.
The board also considered q re-
quest by the Central Union Mis-
sion for permission to erect seven
story side addition to the mission
building at 613 c street NV. No
opposition was registered to this
plan.

quest by the Florence Crittenton

Observatory 10 Issue
Air Almanac Aqain

As result of increased military
aviation activities, the Naval OBJ
servatory soon will resume publica-
tion of an air almanac to assist
airmen In navigating by celestial
observations, 1t was announced to-
day.
In 1888 the observatory prepared
and published a pioneering air
almanac planned especially for the
aviator. This almanac, designed to
eliminate many steps previously re-
quired for solving celestial sights.
was SO favorably received by airmen
that it resulted in the issuance of
similar air almanacs by several for
eign governments.
Lack of sufficient appropriations,
however, prevented the Naval OBJ
servatory from continuing publica-
ton of the American almanac.
AS a part of the expanded air de-
fense program, however, funds have
been made available to resume the
publication, which will appear in
issues covering periods of four
months. The first, for the months
of January, February, March and
April, 1941, will be available Decem-
Der 2. 1t is to be distributed to all

Fleeing Youth Dives
Through Window
As Bullets Miss
Second Time in Yeor,
Wotchmon Says os He
Identifies Suspect.

History lived up to its reputation
for repeating itself early today aS
q colored intruder leaped through
. plate-glass window and a 81
year-old watchman shot at him
and missed.
Norman Daley, watchman for q
motor company in the 1900 block Of
Fourteenth street NV, heard 9
noise in the rear of the establish
ment while he was making his
rounds. Turning on his spotlight
he saw q man running between
the parked automobiles. He fired
five shots as the intruder dived
headlong through window.
Mr.. Daley followed but was un-
able to overtake the man who
ran up Fourteenth street. Three
hours later police called him from
Freedman's Hospital reporting they
had suspect.
There he identified an 18-year-
old colored youth as the intruder.
The youth had gone to Freedman's,
requesting treatment for gunshot
wounds, but doctors found he had
merely sustained cuts on his right
foot, apparently from the broken
glass.
At the same time Mr.. Daley iden-
titled the youth as the same one
he had shot at-and missed-at
another establishment in the 1900
block of Fourteenth street a year
ago when the intruder also had
dived through a plate-glass win
dow.
Clarence j. Kern, owner of a
liquor store in the 800 block Of
Eleventh street NV, reported to
police that a colored youth held
him up in his establishment at
gun point and escaped with more
than $50.
