Offices on 18Th Street
Seen as Foot in Door
For CommerciaIism

+ Opening lower Sixteenth street
to Office buildings and banks would
amount to putting one foot in q
door eventually leading to full COM
mercialism," the District Zoning
Commission was told today.
The statement was made by Har-
land Bartholomew, city planning
consultant OF the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. It
was read for him by John Nolen,
jr., director of planning for the
park commission and a member of
the zoning Advisory Council.
) Mr.. Bartholomew's opposition to
the change was based on con-
tentiOn that there Is no need for
1T, that many property values would
be destroyed In the process, and that
the proposal itself is based on false
hood.
COMPROMISE Considered.
His arguments began a Zonine
Commission hearing at the District
Building. Under consideration was
a compromise" proposal advanced
by the commission to permit banks
and Office buildings in the part OF
Sixteenth street between H and M
streets NV. without q formal zoning
change.
The proposal followed previous
hearing on the question of rezoning
Sixteenth street from H street to
Scott Circle from residential to first
commercial. The Zoning Commis-
sionturned it down January q after
hearing testimony that the move
would result in the appearance of
liquor stores, blinking neon signs and
other commercial embellishments
across Lafayette Square from the
White House.
Mr.. Nolen asked that Mr.. Bar
tholomew's views be made a part of
the minority report of the Zoning
Advisory Council, which has ap-
proved the proposal Speaking for
himself, Mr.. Nolen told the commits
sion that under present regulations
construction Of hotels and apart
ments will be encouraged at "desir-
able and protective close-in loca-
tions," adding to and stabilizing
values In the central business dis
trict.
City Plan Seen Affected.
Any departure from this policy
would tend to throw the long range
city plan out of alignment, he
added.
Among those speaking in favor Of
the proposal was Wilbert McIner-
ney, attorney for the Motion Picture
Association Of America. He told the
commission the association recently
bought building formerly occupied
by the trustees Of the Library of
Congress at the southwest corner
Of Sixteenth and streets NV. for
approximately $5O0,O00, with the
idea Of converting it to office-build-
ing use.
The association has no intention
Of developing a "honkey tonk" or
any other place Of business not ac-
ceptable to property owners in the
area, Mr.. McInerney declared.
Ashurst Also Favors Change.
Also favoring the change was
former Senator Henry F. Ashurst of
Arizona, who said he owns the old
University Club at $50 Sixteenth
street NV, now used as lodging
house. Describing lower Sixteenth
street as becoming an "eyesore of
boarding houses" Mr.. Ashurst
added:
Unless the rigid zoning rules are
relaxed, lower Sixteenth street will
continue to degrade and degenerate
until you have nothing but rat
hatcheries."

Stock Market Takes
Irregular Course
In Quiet Dealings
BY III. A.seeioisd Pres,

NEW YORK, June 16.-Several
pivotals eased slightly today as the
stock market followed narrowly
irregular course.
Dealings were limited to slow
pace in advance of the Presidents
message on the income tax reduc-
ton bill. Some early declines were
trimmed or transferred into further
advances, giving the list a mixed
appearance near the fourth hour.
Acting as brakes on enthusiasm
were unsettled foreign situations and
concern over the current labor dis
putes and effects of the maritime
tieup.
In lower territory much of the
session were American Telephone,
United States Steel, Norfolk g. West
ern. Santa Fe, General Motors,
Chrysler. Western Union "a" Public
Service OF New Jersey. Goodrich,
American Can, Douglas Aircraft,
United Aircraft, Glenn Martin and
International Nickel. Better per-
formers included Standard Oil of
New Jersey, which touched a new
1947 high; Texas Co., Baltimore &
Ohio, Air Reduction, Youngstown
Sheet. Allied Chemical, Kennecott
and Electric Power 81 Light.
Bonds were narrow.
Improved in the Curb were Alu-
minum Co. of America, Humble Oil,
Cuban Atlantic Sugar and Hecla
Mining. Depressed were American
Cyanamid, Fansteel and Babcock g.
Wilcox.
