Mr. Abernethy. who has long
been actively working for an i'm

said department officials had
agreed with him that the Durant-

highly desirable for highway mail

Grant Urges Checks
With Planners for
Projects Under FILA

Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III.
former chairman of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. last night urged that new
projects, about to be insured by the
Federal Housing Administration in
the Washington Metropolitan
Area, be checked informally with
the commission to insure that they
conform to proper planning
practices.
Gen. Grant brought up the
problem at a meeting in the Dodge
Hotel of landscape architects,
architects, city planners and
others interested in the develop
ment of Washington. Warren j.
Lockwood, FILA assistant COM
missioner for field operations, one
of the principal speakers, agreed
there should be some develop
ment of that idea"
This exchange came during a
question -and-ansWer period that
followed the formal speeches.
Louis Justement. architect. said
that, now that FILA has achieved
the desired building volume. it is
time to give more attention to bet
ter design to show what can be
done. He pointed out that archi-
tects are not employed for specu-
lative housing but that the job Is
left to designers.
Earlier MIR. Lockwood had
pleaded for the professions repre-
sented at the session to contribute
to the current huge development
of homes, under the Housing Act
Eof 1949. by developing some form
of architecture decent to look at" "
particularly in homes for people
Of modest means.
Nathaniel Keith, Housing and
Home Finance Agency director of
slum clearance and urban rede-
velopment. warned his audience
not to expect quick results in this
field.
Thomas c. Jeffers, landscape
architect of the Planning Com
mission, presided at the meeting.
The moderator was Earl Draper,
landscape architect and city
planner, now a consultant in pri-
vate practice here. The meeting
was sponsored by the Committee
of 100 on the Federal City, the
District chapters of the American

Man, 63, Gets Mental Tes1
After Assault on Girl, 5

Mental examination of a 63-
year-old man charged with simple
assault on a 5-year-old girl was
ordered yesterday by Municipal
Court Judge Almond w. Scott.
Marshall H. Montrose, of the
first block of r street NE, was
sent to Gallinger Hospital for
mental observation, and the case
against him continued for a
month.
Montrose was arrested Saturday
after the girls mother complained
to police the man had been taking
indecent liberties with the child.
Montrose originally was charged
with a violation of Public Law 615,
the Districts sex law, but this
charge was reduced to simple as
sault, misdemeanor, so he could
be sent to the hospital for obser-
vation. The Municipal Court may
commit for observation persons
charged with misdemeanors. but
not felonies.
