HI dSCS DISSI C0ltcu
It is astonishing how all the
phrases attributed to us, like "the
City of Magnificent Distances" I"
have been discredited by events.
Our distances are not great
enough. A Bostonian who came
here in 1900 remarked that the
Xorekeepers of his home city did
nd make profit enough to keep
tho snow shoveled of of such am
pie sidewalks as we had here.
That was the old-time impression.
read a severe criticism Of LEN
FAINT in a descriptive history pub
lished in 1884, in which the writer
said that L'Enfant named the
streets from numbers and letters
because that was all he knew.
That observation was like that
OF the political poo-bah Of my
home town, Of Abingdon, Mass,
who had been a delegate to the
Democratic National Convention
of 1856 which had nominated
Buchanan. As long as the old
delegate lived, he told us that
the Government could never by
any possibility clear the debt
resulting from the Civil War. He
was only about 70 years ahead of
his time. Grover Cleveland, whom
I served. came out with vigor
against Theodore Roosevelt's re-
election in 1904 because of Re

bringing together around the same

of its existence. In addition. as

began. President Cleveland and
his predecessors had talked about
it, but did not get around to do
anything. With the first Roose-
welt, the sparks began to fly.
Hardly an administration since
has failed either to enlarge an
existing White House Office build
ing or to build a new one. These
changes have typif1ed those in
the whole Federal structure.
President Coolidge brought a
personal secretary named Edward
T. Clark, from Northampton,
Mass, like himself a graduate Of
Amherst College. When Mr..
Coolidge gave place to Mr.. Hoover.
Tied" Clark, as we all called him,
moved over to the Shoreham
Building. where he became the
Washington representative of the
Liggett Drug Co. In both ad-
ministrations there remained at
the White House a man popularity
known as like" Hoover. who had
started in as an electrician In
McKinley's day and gradually
worked up to q factotum of some
social consequence, as shown by
his recently published autobiogra-
ply. One day Mr.. Clark. over
in his Shoreham Building office.
received letter from his chief,
Louis Liggett. saying that two
English ladies who had been help
full to the Liggett family in Lon
don. were going to Washington
and that he wished Mr.. Clark to
be attentive to them. On arriving,
the ladies announced that the
one thing they wanted to see most
in the entire Capital was the his
toric old White House. This edi-
flee interested them immensely:
could Mr.. Clark get them INTO it?
Going to an outside booth, he
called up Ike" Hoover-with
whom he had associated when at
the White House In the Coolidge
administration, and explained to
him the Importance Of his doing q
good job In showing these ladies
around.
Two hours later they came back
and told Mr.. Clark they had al
ways heard Of the tabled democ-
racy OF America, adding, Here
we have been shown every nook
and Granny Of your old White
House by none other than your
President himself" Ike always
wore a long Prince Albert coat
and his name was Hoover. What
more was necessary?
I told Ted that hoped he did
not spoil that story. which would
otherwise go down in history with
IJefferson's tying his horse when
he rode to the Capitol for his
inauguration-also reported by an
Englishman. But Ted, more hon.
est perhaps than I would have
been, did disillusion the ladies by
acknowledging that they had been

ments Of the commission have
been the bad things we have pre-
vented. and which are not self
evident"
With gratifying foresight the
Congress had provided in the act
| of 1926 that the commission
should plan for the Capitals en-
virons, as we'll as for the District
of Columbia, and make recon-
mendations Ito the proper exec
utive authorities" as to all ele-
ments Of city planning. Conse-
quently local planning commits
sions have been set up in the
neighboring States to work with
our commission. and the co-opera-
ton between planning authorities
has been very close and har-
monious throughout the Metro
politan Area.
Obviously no city plan prepared
today. however experienced and
foresighted the planner may be,
will continue to be entirely adapt
ed to a growing city for any great
number Of years. any more than
a suit bought for a growing lad
will remain a good fit. Therefore,
the regional plan outlined by the
Planning Commission In 1928 had
to be modified in many details as
conditions changed and the years
passed; but during the period 1928
to 1910 many elements of that
plan were put in effect and the
peacetime growth Of the city was
relatively well provided for.
Tax Base Increased
The impact Of Warld War II,
however, stretched the city's ia
cilities to the utmost, and the un-
increase in Government
employment and in population,
which are closely related, have
created new problems urgently de-
solution. These problems
are mostly quantitative, and are
probably more intense than at any
time since the territorial govern
ment under Alexander r. Shep-
herd rebuilt the then "city Of mud
and dust" into worthy capital of
which Americans no longer needed
to be ashamed. New housing
especially for the poor: new
schools. the completion Of the
system OF parks. parkways and

who announced that he would
never 60 again to certain
restaurant because, as he said, he
was mo hand to pay 10c for a
cup of coffee" I sympathized
with him.
OF the need of the rebuilding
of the White House. altogether
symbolic of the turn of the half
century, I have had direct per-
sonal observation. I was a clerk
there, under Cleveland, when all
the White House Offices were on
the second floor, over the east
room and were under the con-
troll of the Bureau of Public
Buildings and Grounds. That
part of the White House was
then infested with the greatest
assortment of bugs. of the water
bug and cockroach type. that
anybody ever heard of. 1t could
have added specimens to Noah's
Ark. The White House then
operated a vehicle known as "the
Office buggy" in which Octavius
L. Pruden, the assistant secretary
to the President. carried to the
Capitol all the messages and
papers that he had occasion to
transmit to Congress. A colored
messenger did the driving.
One day one of the men on
the staff, much of an automaton,
came into these second floor off,
ces and with great solemnity in
toned the words: THE Office
buggy is downstairs. To this
Benjamin F. Montgomery, tele-
graph operator, responded: "And
the buggy office is up here"
The housekeeping part of the
edifice, under Mrs. Cleveland's
control. was immaculate in its
appearance and appointments,
but our working spaces were
pretty fierce. We had a staff
of IL persons. exclusive of oc-
casional details such as the White
House has always derived from
the departments. Though an
ambitious young man. I had never
supposed that in the lapse of a
half-century there would be q
hundred persons assigned the
work I was then doing. But the
ratio of employees today would not
be far from that.

about the act Of 1910 limiting the
height OF buildings. so that WASH
ington was saved from that mu-
nicipal economic incubus, very
high buildings, with the resulting
costs Of municipal services and
unbalanced real estate values.
Washington was also one Of the
first cities to adopt a zoning
ordinance in 1920.
The first World War brought
with 1t another sudden influx of
population. with a housing short
age IN its train, not only for habi-
tation but also for Government
buildings. The new housing, fol-
lowing the old 1898 highway plan,
started the destruction of the
Typographical character and beau
ties Of the outlying areas OF the
District and added, by the grading
required, large increment Of cost
to every home. Moreover, the
lack OF parks and Fairgrounds for
the spreading population made
imperative demands. The pleas
OF interested citizens, particularly
the Committee Of 100 and the
American Civic Association. of
national professional societies like
the American Institute of Ar
chitects. and of wise and fore
sighted legislators, at last obtained
a hearing.
In response 10 the growingI
pressure and obvious needs, Con-
gress in 1924 established a Ma
tional Capital Park Commission.

the addition Of -four eminent cit

not the President.
The President used to do a large
business shaking hands with the
public twice a week. 1t was a bor-
ing experience. but up to the turn
Of the century every President had
tolerated it. I had boarded, when
I was teaching school in Natick,
Mass, at the same place with a
middle-aged woman, who had told
us, on Mr.. Cleveland's election in
'84, that she knew all about him.
etc. I wondered little whether
her claims were exaggerated, but
they were not. At one of these re-
ceptions I started to introduce her

and trying to arouse the "en-
