Institute Of Architects
Urges Action 10 Bar
improper Planning

Spokesmen for the American In
stitute of Architects yesterday cited
the recent controversy over the loca-
ton of the Pan American Union
Annex Building as a typical case of
"maladjustment in planning which
is likely to recur unless positive,
preventive measures are taken"
The annex is being constructed on
a small Constitution avenue triangle
and when 1t is completed it will par
TALLY obStruct the view of the In
terror Building
Criticism was directed by the
Committee on the National Capital,
representative group of the insti-
tute headed by James R. Edmunds,
jr. 1t was circulated in the A. I. A.
Journal.
The committee regards the con-
troverSy and its outcome more as an
object lesson, which should be
needed if far more serious planning
shortcomings are to be averted." Mr..
Edmunds said.
Former Secretary OF the Interior
Harold L. Ickes led the original fight
in opposition to the proposed loca-
ton. Upon his retirement the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission and the Fine Arts Com
mission came to the assistance of
the Pan American Union. More re-
Gently, they again rallied to its as
sistance when Secretary of the In
terror Krug, in belated effort, failed
to block construction on the site.
The A. l. A. committee pointed
to the "half-realized scheme for
Lafayette Square," the blocking of
the White House by the Treasury
and other historic examples as the
results Of improper planning.
The architects regretted that the
recommendation of the A. I. A. urg-
ing that the findings of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission should be mandatory upon
its constituent members, was not
adopted when the commission was
created.
Now this question again is being
raised in the Budget Bureau report
for reorganization of the Planning
Commission. it was pointed out.
Urging general support of legisla-
ton to establish the Planning Com
missions Jurisdictions and the ap-
preparation of funds for the long
deferred publication of development
plans, the architects advised:
With q reorganized, representa-
tive commission, to include the Ad-
miniStrator of Federal Works and
the Architect OF the Capitol, we need
have no further apprehension about
planning which is too little and too
late"

BOSTON, Sept. 18.-Playing in
pennant- winning style, the Boston
Braves today defeated Pittsburgh,

ing with two days rest, limited the
hitherto pressing Pirates to one hit
until the ninth inning.
In that final frame, the Pirates,
who now are in third place 61a
games in back of the Tribe, punched
three singles for their solitary run.
SPAIN scored Boston's first run,
getting on base on fielder's choice
and coming home when Tommy
Holmes single rolled through Ralph
Kiner. Bob Elliott's single and
Frank McCormick's triple provided
the winning margin.
The victory, achieved before 2l,-
OBS paid fans, gave the Braves a
commanding lead of six games over
the now runnerup Brooklyn Dodg-
ers, who slipped into second place
by shading the st. Louis Cardinals,

The Braves, who haven't won the
National League flag since the
miracle team" of 1914 finished
first, can clutch the pennant by
winning eight of their 10 remaining
games.
Eight decisions would give the
Braves a total of 81 victories which
Brooklyn couldn't equal even If 1t
