Broad Changes
.At monument
New Design for
Grounds includes
Recruiting Roods
By Nelson IA. Shepard

Proposed improvements in the
Washington Monument Grounds
involving some radical changes were
approved at the closing monthly
session Of Federal planners yester-
day afternoon.
Maj. Gen. u. S. Grant III, chair
man Of the National Park and
Planning Commission, said the
changes will be recommended for
adoption by Congress and the 1850
Washington Sesquicentennial Com
mission. He said he doubts, how
ever. whether the notifications
could be carried out in time for the
exposition.
The changes also received the ap-
proval Of the Commission of Fine
Arts, which met in joint session
with the planners. Earlier descrip-
tons of the plans had been obtained
from a model prepared by a Joint
committee headed by Thomas C.
LETTERS, landscape architect for
NCPPC.
Includes Overpasses.
The principal changes, Gen. Grant
said, call for a squared base for the
setting of the monument in place
OF the present circular base; a re-
routing of Fifteenth street through
the grounds; development of a large
recreational area east of Seven
teenth street, and the erection of
two overpaSses so the Mall roads
would cross Fourteenth street.
independence avenue and the two
roads inside the Mall would be car
ried across a depressed Fourteenth
street by two bridges. A walled ter
race 10 feet above the level of Fiji
teenth street also would be provided
on the east side Of the Monument.
1t Is planned to carry Fifteenth
street, from Constitution avenue,
through the road system by means
Of a widened curved highway, con-
Meeting with the jefferson Me-
mortal and the new twin bridges
across the Potomac.
Large Outdoor Theater.
Gen. Grant said a large outdoor
theater would be proposed for the
area east of Seventeenth street.
This would not interfere with the
present small Sylvan Theater.
Another feature of the Monument
Grounds would be a tree screened
parking space near Fifteenth street.
Announcement was made that the
planning commission and the fine
arts group jointly agreed on a site
for the recently authorized statue
OF Jose Artigas, Uruguayan hero.
This may be erected, 1t was said,
on the small triangle at Virginia
and Constitution avenues and Eight
zenith street NV. across from the
Pan American Annex. now under
construction.
Gen. Grant said no decision has
been reached regarding a site for
the proposed Cardozo High School.
He explained, however, the plan
ming commission will help the
School Board hunt for an available
site In the. general area west OF
Seventh street and south Of the
Banneker Center.

|Tydings Asks Rally
To Support Ticket;
Assai|s COP. Record

In a plea last night for support of
the entire Democratic ticket, Sena-
tor Tydings told a Bethesda audience
that Republicans in Congress had
opposed legislation for selective serv-
ice, European recovery and other
vital measures.
The Maryland Senator appeared
at Leland Junior High School with
Democratic House Candidate F.
Byrne Austin of Takoma Park and
others. for a rally sponsored by
Montgomery County Democrats. A
crowd estimated at 300 attended.
Senator Tydings asserted the vot-
ers should back the Democratic tick
ct. headed by President Truman, ION
the record" of the parties.
Uses Large Charts.
Using large charts which he had
used during Senate debate, the Sem
ator cited Republican opposition in
1899 and 1910 to legislation to in
crease the number OF cutters and
seaplanes of the Coast Guard, to
permit stockpiling of rubber, to
amend the Neutrality Act, to provide
for national defense and establish
selective service.
In every instance, he said, a ma
jority of the Republicans in the
House and Senate voted against the
measures.
Senator Tydings did not mention
President Truman by name, but
Wendell Berge, a former Assistant
Attorney General, praised Mr.. Tru-
man and urged the crowd to sup
port all Democratic candidates.
Its an old Republican trick to
claim they can administer Demo-.
cratic liberal programs better than
the Democrats can" Mr.. Berge said.
Winds Up Formal Campaign.
The election of Mr.. Austin was
urged by Senator Tydings, who said
the 9Th district In his recollection
had not been represented by a ma
tive Of Montgomery County. The
rally wound up the party's formal
campaign here.
Mr.. Austin said he had found con-
siderable Democratic sentiment in
Washington and Allegany Counties
and asked a majority over Repre-
sentative Beall, Republican.
Will Allen, newspaperman, who
opposed Mr.. Austin in the primary,
urged support of the entire Demo-
cratic ticket.
Mrs. Alice Hostetler also spoke in
behalf OF the Democratic candidates.

Board Plans Cei|inq
On Welfare Cases 10
Stay Within Budget

The Board of Public Welfare, in
addition to the recent per cent
cut in relief, will have to make
further savings to keep within its
budget.
After January /, no new names
will be added to the public assistance
rolls, except to replace discontinued
cases.
The new plan of control was
adopted by the board at its monthly
meeting yesterday, when 1t was in
formed by staff members that the
present expenditures would reach
the saturation point about the first
Of the year. -,
John w. Tramburg, director OF
the Department of Public Welfare
told the board there are about 5,40O
cases now on relief rolls and that
he expects about ITO discontinuances
a month. The new cases added
during the past several months have
been double this number. The ITO
cases that probably will be dis
continued each month because they
are no longer eligible for relief will
mean a saving of $500 a month.
Most of these cases will be in the
aid to dependent children class,
which has the biggest turnover.
Expenditures Estimated.
BY January / it is estimated that
about S, 245,28 will have been spent
for relitf during the first part of
the fiscal year. The department
was given a total Of $2,150,364 for
relief to last until next June 80.
The proposal of staff members to
place chronic alcoholics in the Home
for the Aged and Inflrm and to dis
continue relief payments for them
met with stiff opposition Of the
board, which asked it's Agency Com
mittee to explore the question fur
ther. There are about 50 known
alcoholics on relief rolls now, 1t was
estimated.
The board approved the place.
ment of students from Catholic and
Howard Universities for field work
in welfare institutions. Catholic
University will place students in the
Industrial Home School on Wiscon-
sin avenue and Howard will place
their students at the Receiving
Home.
Radio Station WWDC was granted
permission to stage another Christ
mas party at the Home for the Aged
and Infirm.
To Advertise for Doctors.
DR.. James Lewald, superintendent
of the District Training School for
Feeble Minded, was granted permis-
sion to advertise in medical journals
for three physicians, whose services
are needed at the school.
Meanwhile, the Department of
Public Welfare, in report issued
today, said the failure of the Com
munity Chest to reach its goal last
year Is being felt by the depart
ment. Increases of more than 100
dependent children and 80 old-age
assistance cases were reported for
August over the figures for the
preceding month.
During August there were 1913
children in the Child Welfare Divi-
sion and 2,461 persons were getting
old-age assistance.
The Childrens Receiving Home
roster jumped from so to 121 in
August-far beyond its capacity
while the District Training School
at Laurel, Md, experienced an in
crease from 594 to $50, also beyond
its capacity. The number Of Dis
Jrict boys at the National Training
School on Bladensburg road in
creased from 80 to lit.

that American troops get out of

represent the entire country. More

The actual withdrawal program
may be determined by action of the
