. Eisenhower Is Optimistic
/ Over Zeckendorf Drawings

President Eisenhower thinks
drawings he has seen Of the
zeckendorf plan for redevelop-
Ing Southwest Washington show
promise Of a beautiful addition
to the Capital City.
The President was asked at
his news conference yesterday
what he thought Of the plan and
what he felt the prospects were
for such a general face-lifting
in the rundown Southwest
area.
Gen. Eisenhower said he didn't
know precisely what the pros
poets for success Of the plan
were.
But recalling a White House
visit by, MIR. Zeckendorf several
weeks ago, the President said he
thought the plans he saw pro-
posed a perfectly beautiful adj
dition to the city.
Gen. Eisenhower said no one
despises slums more than he does
and that he believes they should
be wiped out. The Zeckendorf
plan, he said, looked like a good
one to him.
Mr.. Zeckendorf, head of the
New York firm of Webb g. Knapp,
visited him particularly because
1t would be necessary for the
Federal Government to lease new
buildings in the Southwest area.
Mr.. Zeckendorf, meanwhile,
also visited the National Capital
Planning Commission yesterday
to bring the planners up to- date
on the Southwest studies.
Outlines Broad Aims.
He outlined the broad aims
and promised to cooperate with
them in detailed studies now
under way. The studies will pre-
cede a specific proposal from the
New Yorkers as to just what part
they want to take in rebuilding
the vast Southwest area between
independence avenue and the
Potomac River.
Shortly after leaving the COM
mission. Mr.. Zeckendorf disclosed
he had retained w. E. Reynolds,
former Federal public buildings
commissioner. as a consultant to
work on the project.

HARDSHIP - During his
early days on the stage, John
Barrymore lived for a time
in, a theatrical boarding
house. Because his talent
for spending money was con-
siderably greater than his
income. he was almost al
ways broke.
One of his fellow boarders
was an elderly actor who was
appearing in a Broadway
show. Whenever Barrymore
needed money In a hurry, he
would sneak into the mans
room at night and lift the
old fellows false teeth.
which he would pawn. When
the veteran actor awoke, he
would find the pawn ticket
on the dresser.
More often than not. the
veteran did not have the
money to redeem the teeth.
He would report the incident
to the stage manager, who
had to foot the bill himself.
After this had happened
several times, the stage man
ager insisted that the actor
leave his teeth in the theater
safe before going home.
ITO Barrymore, this was a
financial body blow, but it
hit the veteran actor even
harder. Every morning he
had to trek down to the
theater and get his teeth be-
fore he would eat his break
fast.
