Bradley Ruling
Asked on Neyiius
Hospital Site
Bennett Wants Duto
On Conferences With
Planning Commission

A clear-cut statement from Vet
Grams Administrator Bradley on the
Nevius tract as site of the new.
Washington veterans hospital was
to be sought today to clear the way
for action by the Federal Board of
Hospitalization tomorrow.
B. Frank Bennett, director of the
disqualification Board staff, said he
would ask Gen. Bradley to report on
the results of conferences with the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Despite reports that the commits
sion and the veterans agency were
unable to agree on restrictions in
constructing a hospital at the Ar
lington County site, Mr.. Bennett
said SO far as he knew the confer
ences had been amicable.

Mr.. Bennett said Gen. Bradley
would be asked to state specifically
what restrictions he would agree to
If the hospital was put on the
NeVluS tract.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion. Mr.. Bennett said. probably
would agree to the site but would
advise certain restrictions as to
height and building materials.
While the commission has no veto
power, he said, 1t is desirable that
Its recommendations be followed.
Gen. Bradley, he added, will have
TO decide whether the restrictions
would add so much to the cost of
construction and operating the hos
pital as to be prohibitive.
Height an Issue.
He said the commission had been
talking in terms of low building
not over six stories. VA engineers.
on the other hand, have been talk
ing about a taller building, in line
with the standard architecture of
veterans hospitals elsewhere, Mr..
Bennett explained.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion has made 1t clear it wants the
hospital ito be inconspicuous" and
not to strike discordant note be-
hind the Lincoln Memorial.
To insure an inconspicuous de-
sign, the Park and Planning Com
mission wants the architect to be
approved by the Fine Arts Commits
sion before his appointment, Mr..
Bennett said. The veterans agency
customarily leaves the choice of an
architect to the chief of the Corps
of Engineers.
There's nothing controversial in
this" Mr.. Bennett said. ITS just a
question of whether the Veterans
Administration can see its way clear
to acceding to the recommends
tions of the Park and Planning
Commission. ..... !.
He said he hoped he would be
able to get report today so the,
board can review it at its meeting
tomorrow.
