Flood Control Unit
Head Backs Project
For Anacostia River

The proposed 100000 food con-
troll and navigation project along
the Anacostia River in Prince
Georges County today had the in
dorsement of Representative Wilson
Republican, of Indiana, chairman OF
the House Flood Control Committee
Mr.. Wilson expressed his support
in talk last night before the Ad-
visory Board of the District Divi-
sion, American Automobile Associa-
ton, in the Mayfower Hotel.
There are several things in favor
of the proposal" Mr.. Wilson de-
clared. They include the fact that
the benefits to be derived are local
and the nearness of the project to
the place where it has to be au-
thorized."
Asserting that the growth of the
Washington area makes the prof.
ect's recreational benefits very i'm
portant," the Indiana member OF
Congress added:
"I am a firm believer in good
wholesome outdoor recreation"
Local Support Stressed.
He emphasized. however, that iii
would be useless and asinine fol
me to sponsor an omnibus flood con.
troll bill containing this project
without being assured that loca
agencies are willing to put up theil
share of the funds"
He said a flood control bill prob
ably will be drawn up late this
month and that hearings are eX-
pected to be completed by the mid.
die of March. clearing the way fol
debate on the measure on the floor
of the House.
"If local agencies affected would
take a definite stand on whether
they plan to put up their share OF
the funds" Mr.. Wilson said, Il
think the Anacostia River project
would have strong chance of being
approved by the Appropriations
Committee.
A report on the project by the
Army Engineers already has received
formal approval by the Prince
Georges County Commissioners, the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission and the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission. 1t is now before the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors for review and recommen-
dationS.

Krug Renews
Pan American
AnnexFight
Asks Union to Halt
Work or Meet to
Seek Agreement
By Nelson IA. Shepard

Rebuffed earlier by planning
agencies, Secretary of Interior Krug
today called on the Pan American
Union to halt construction of its
annex building at Eighteenth street
and Constitution avenue, a project
already delayed some 10 years.
If that appeal fails, Mr.. Krug
asked that Dr. Alberto Leras, di-
rector general Of the union, agree
to conference with all interested
agencies for the purpose of seeking
IAN agreeable solution of the prob
lem
In making public Mr.. Krug's let.
ter to the Pan American director,
mis- aides indicated the Interior Sec
rotary is stubbornly intent on carry
ing his fight to Congress if that Is
necessary.
Site on Union Grounds Suggested.
AS one OF the alternative plans
suggested. Interior Department
aides said its own engineers have
informed Mr.. Krug that arrange
ments could easily be made to house
the annex building on the union
grounds.
This unidentified departmental
engineer was represented as SAYING
the Director Generals residence on
the building grounds could easily
be picked up and planted on the
site Of the garage" on the north
west corner of the lot.
Last week Secretary Krug called
for help in his fight from Maj. Gen.
U. S. Grant III. chairman OF the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and chairman Gilmore
D. Clarke OF the Fine Arts Commits
sion.
Both agencies passed on the site
as well as the plans for the annex
building, which Secretary Krug pro-
tests will protrude approximately 106
feet beyond the building line of
Constitution avenue and destroy the
architectural line of the street.
Neither commission has given the
Secretary any indication that 1t is
agreeable to any conference on the
matter, their position being that
Congress authorized the site in 1929
and that the union is entirely with
in it's rights to build on it. The tri-
angle on which the annex Is now
being built is in front of the main
entrance of the Interior Depart
ment Building
Regardless of rebuffs, Mr.. Krug
wrote the Pan American director
in part as follows:
Il now appeal directly to the Pan
American Union for its cooperation
in this matter. I know you are
equally as interested as I am in
the preservation and enhancement
of the beauty of the setting for
Washington's public buildings, and
I believe that you will be anxious to
cooperate by agreeing to any al
tentative plan that would at once
serve your purpose and insure the
future attractiveness of our Ma
tional Capital
Secretary Krug then informed the
Director General that he requests
that the progress of construction OF
the annex be suspended Immediately
ana that a conference be arranged
between the several interested agen-
cies for the purpose of seeking an
agreeable solution of the problem"
