S7,000,000 Apartment
And Hotel Planned
In Arlington County
Priorities on Material
Is Only Problem
To Be Solved

Blueprints for a S7,000000 apart
ment and hotel to be constructed
diagonally across from the new Navy
Department building at Columbia
pike and Arlington Ridge road in
Arlington County, Va, were sub
mitted to County Manager Frank c..
Hanrahan yesterday.
Mr.. Hanrahan said the plans are
now being checked in compliance
with county building regulations.
The only question to be settled,
it was learned, is whether priorities
can be obtained for materials IL
view of the recent ban on nom
defense building When the Ar
lington County supervisors refused
to change the county Zoning restrlc-
tionS at the request of Frederic A.
Delano. chairman of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. to prohibit construction of
the apartment project. Mr.. Delano
pointed out that materials might
not be procurable.
$1,000, 900 in Permits Pending.
Mr.. Hanrahan also said yesterday
that blueprints for two other con-
struction projects aggregating more
than 100000 are being checked,
making a total of s11 ,0O0. 900 in con-
struction permits pending. as COM
pared with more than $12 900 900 for
the entire year to date. Building
in the county is now about $1,000, 900
ahead of last year at this date and
is expected to far exceed last years
total of about SIT 100000.
One of the other pending projects,
Mr.. Hanrahan said, was submitted
by the Fillmore Corp. for 724-apart-
ment building to cost about $1,000
900 on Fillmore street near Columbia
pike, and the other by the De Lash
mutt Corp. for an apartment prof.
ect of 421 units costing about ST.
100000 on Columbia pike near Four
Mile Run.
Building to Have IA Stories.
The apartment and hotel on Ar
lington Ridge road and Columbia
pike. it was learned, will have 624
hotel rooms and 467 apartments OF
IL. 2 and 3 rooms The plans
include bowling alleys, two ball
rooms, a roof garden and a ga
rage with parking space for $50
cars in the basement. 1t will be
IA stories, or ITO feet high, on
the side facing the Potomac River.
Mr.. Hanrahan said he believed
priorities for the three buildings
were justified because of the need
for housing of workers brought to
this area by the defense program.
If priorities for materials are ap-
proved, work can be completed by
the time the new War Department
Building is ready for occupancy,
he said.

a home of our own-a country home

to Dumbarton Oaks. The dream
grew. We should find a way to

Two Pieces Nearly Lost
In Invasion of Belgium.
But to return to Mr.. Barnard's
announcement of the sale: He saws
that two of the major pieces of the
second collection, a large Flemish
altar piece and a 16-foot Gothic
crucifixion, narrowly escaped de-
struction during the German in
vasion of Belgium in 1914. They
were smuggled out of the country
and hidden in the lofts of French
barns.
According to Mr.. Barnard's an
nouncement, the most important
objects of the present collection
as group. are a number of mag
nif1cent 18th century Romanesque
capitals that show the transition
from Roman sources to Gothic.
The capitals" he says, show in
effect the steps from one great
art age to another and are the
actual living evidence of the birth
OF a great art epoch"
