With the departure of the 5th
Marine Reserve Battalion the way
was cleared today for setting up the
selective service induction center at
the former headquarters of the Re-
serves at 458 Indiana avenue NV.
Army Spokesmen, however, said
equipment for the induction Offices
probably would not be moved in
before the middle of next week,
as orders do not call for completion
of preparations until November 18.
The first inductions will take place
November 27 and %.
Few if any repairs will be neces-
sary to put the building in shape
for the center, it was said.
Personnel on Duty Soon.
Personnel of the center will be
set up by War Department orders
within the next few days. Twelve
surgeons and 18 enlisted men will
be on duty to give physical eXamina-
tions to trainees, while the admin
istrative duties will be handled by
approximately three officers and Is
enlisted men.
Capt. R. M. Peak, in charge of
the Army recruiting station for the
District, said the center will induct,
in addition to Washingtons trainees,
those from "a nearby Virginia and

The station will be expected to
turn out about SIS trainees per day

Hearing Set on Plan
For 110-Foot Limit
On Buildings Height
Proposal Presents New
Problem for Promoters
OF Crystal City

A special public hearing has been
ordered by the Zoning Commission
for December 4 to consider a pro-
posal of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to amend
the zoning regulations so as to for
bid erection of buildings having a
height of more than 10 feet-a
change which would constitute one
of the mast important revisions in
the coming code in recent years.
Under existing rules, buildings
may be erected to a height of 100
feet, with setbacks in the upper
stories.
At the special hearing, the COM
mission also will consider six pro-
posed changes in zoning clasSif1ca-
tons Of properties, the most notable
Of which calls for an increase from
so to 80 feet in the permitted height
of buildings on either side of
Massachusetts, avenue NV. between
Twentieth and Twenty-second
streets. For some years there have
been recurring contests over the
zoning of properties in the Dupont
Circle area.
The Planning Commission pro-
posal for ban on buildings of more
than 110 feet high presented a new
problem for the promoters of the
proposed S15.000000 crystal city"
development on Temple Heights at
Florida avenue and Columbia road
NV. Some of the proposed build
ings would be more than 130 feet
high. Requests for approval are
awaiting action at the District
Building.
Meanwhile the Zoning Commits
sion announced it had approved the
request of Doctors Hospital for per-
mission to erect two additional
stories on the Columbia Medical
Building, northeast corner of Nine
teenth and I streets NV, to serve
as an annex.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment
announced it had approved the ap-
peal of Mrs. Lionel Atwill, sister of
James H. r. Cromwell, former Min
lister to Canada, to erect a fourth
story addition to the dwelling at
1400 Thirty-fourth street NV. The
board also granted the request of
the National Metropolitan Bank of
Washington, as trustee for the estate
Of John B. Henderson, for permission
to establish an educational institu-
ton at 2437 Fifteenth street NV.
The building was erected there
some years ago by the late Mrs.
John B. Henderson for embassy use.

Departure Of Marine

For Preparing Quarters
Women Are Favored
For Draft Boards
By Mrs. Roosevelt

Mrs. Roosevelt predicted to-
day that the Federal selective
ser vice regulations would be
changed to eliminate the word
male" as a qualification for
membership on any board of
appeals.
She said she felt that the
women of the country would be
much happier if one of their
sex was on the appeals board.
The Federal Government, she
said, could not tell the Gov
ernors to appoint women but
they could and probably would
revise the regulations to make
it possible for women to be
appointed.
