BILE picture "Hit the Road" which

i. Maryland Merry
H. GO-Round

Most people don't know it, but
there was quite a difference of
opinion between President Roose-
welt, his Uncle Fred DelanO and
several of the Admirals regarding
the sky-scraper naval hospital near
Bethesda.
Uncle Fred DelanO, who is chair
man of the U. S. Capitol Park and
Planning Commission, thought the
hospital would stick up from the
green fields of Maryland like a
sore thumb. And the admirals ar
gued that it wasn't practical for
any hospital to be up in the air;
that nurses and doctors could take
care of more patients if they were
spread out in wings as in any or
dinary hospital, instead Of stacked
up floor by floor.
However, the President had
made a sketch Of the hospital on
the back of an envelope. He had
plotted where he would put the
shrubbery. So he won the argu-
ment as far as the U. S. Govern
ment was concerned.
But the skyscraper hospital also
had to be OK'd by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission And it's chief engineer,
Irwin C. Root, recommended disap-
proval on the ground that it viOlat-
ed Montgomery County zoning
regulations, and also because Fred
Delano was opposed.
This put the commission back on
it's heels, until Lacy Shaw, one of
it's politically potent members,
passed round this homespun phil
osophy:
I'm for the Presidents idea" he
said. Remember never get in a
