HoytForesees
BigExpansiion
In DC. Area
Continued Growth
Here Is Assured,
Businessmen Told
By Tom Burke

Washington business leaders
heard a prediction today Of the
Washington area Of the future
which will include preservation
of the downtown business COM
munity, expansion of highway
and parking facilities and de-
velopment of new hotel, apart
ment and Office space.
Homer Hoyt, president of
Homer Hoyt Associates and a
nationally known land econo-
mist. told the Board of Trades
Business Outlook Conference he
forsees continued growth and
ever increasing population for
3 Washington and its suburbs as
necessary to make our Capital
worthy Of our great Nation.
His sentiments were ecnoed by
five local businessmen at the
Shoreham Hotel meeting, who
predict a good year economically
during 1854.
Has Made Surveys.
Mr.. Hoyt has completed sur
veyS of Arlington and Fairfax
Counties in Virginia and is COM
plotting economic surveys in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties in Maryland.
He said the future develop
ment of industrial and research
facilities will take place in a
belt surrounding Washington ex-
tending IL to IS miles from the
White House. New Government
Office buildings would locate in
this same belt, he predicted.
Also for the suburban area he
said lit is logical to expect three
new large regional shopping
centers of so to 100 acres each.
One in Montgomery County, one
in Prince Georges and one in
either Fairfax or Arlington
Counties"
Cites Other Cities.
He said this type of develop
ment is already under way in the
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York areas.
In addition to the expanded
parking facilities in the down.
town area, Mr.. Hoyt foresees for
the District a convention hall or
municipal auditorium to provide
space for exhibitions, indoor
sports events and conventions
and a municipal stadium seating
100000 persons,
washington is in a strategic
position because of its loca-
ton along the Atlantic sea-
board" Mr.. Hoyt said in point
ing up the possibilities OF ex-
panding industrial development.
He cited the accessibility of other
great population centers by all
forms of transportation from the
Washington area, Mr.. Hoyt esti-
mates the total population the
Washington Metropolitan Area
is approximately 1,778.000. an in
crease of nearly $4,000 since the
census of nearly four years ago.
He said 935, 900 live outside the
District of Columbia as COM
pared with $4,000 within the
Districts boundaries.
In a panel discussion John w.
Macy. executive director of the
United States Civil Service Com
mission, said the worst is over"
as far as reduction in Federal
employment in this area is con-
cerned. He predicted Federal
employment in the area can be
expected to stay within the 215,-
900 to 100000 figure, "for as far
ahead as we can See."

lieve the problem of migrant

qualify. Harry nasn't played a
half dozen serious rounds of golf
in nearly 20 years. When he
took the game seriously, how
ever, he was a player.
Pitt, one of the Districts all
time amateur golf greats. may
not have been the best, but he's
still the most talked about. He
had some Hagen in him as far
as shotmaking goes, and could
make those awfully tough ones
look easy.
And, of course, the tales of the
methods used to try and stop him
when he was retiring those
81 ,000-plus bowls in the invita-
ton tournaments have been re-
peated many, many times.
Harry was q hooker-still is
when he plays-and he spent so
much time in the woods on
Manor's tree-lined front nine he
earned the nickname of the
Manor Moose" which he held
as long as he was in competitive
golf.
Pitt won the District, Middle
Atlantic and tournaments of that
nature, but his forte was invita-
tions when Washington had a
steady parade of the events
through the spring and early
summer. Nobody has approached
his feats Of three straight titles
in the Chevy Chase and Balti-
more Country Club Invitations
when those events drew out
standing fields.
Harry just lost his desire for
tournament golf one day, found
he'd rather play for fun than
practice and became a iWednes-
day afternoon and Saturday
golfer. Sometimes he'd shoot 70
but neither he nor his fourSome
could count on it. There was that
hook.
A couple Of years ago a Manor
member riled Harry a bit. The
kidding went d little too far and
the fellow told Pitt "I'd love to
play you for a $40 Nassau" The
guy couldn't have gone past the
18th hole with Harry in his
tournament days.
Harry, who said later he
never had played for more than a
SIS Nassau, challenged his heck
Ter and they went to the tee.
Pitt tossed a 50 at him and the
fellow didn't get past the 18th
hole that day, either.
AS a golf executive, Pitt was
the first to become president of
the District, Maryland State
and Middle Atlantic Golf AS
sociations.
Harry probably is the best
long-iron hitter ever to play
amateur golf here. And when
the sand wedge became popular,
he still stuck to the old niblick
for almost automatic action in
getting out Of traps and down in
one putt. He loved trouble.

DAM Showing Gives
ColoniaIs Pair Of Big
Threats in BackfieId
By George Huber

George Washington is hoping
to spring Halfback Len Glenn
niecki. the squads fastest run
ner. loose on some of his long
runs against Virginia at Char
lottesville Saturday. But until
Ciemniecki gets going Fullback
Dutch Danz Is doing nicely as
the .Colonials' leading ground
gamer.
Ciemniecki actually seems to
be regarded by CIV opponents
as the Colonials' main threat.
At least in the two games played
so far the defenses have been
stacked to stop his dashes. and
this has been effective to some
extent. It's logical to do this as
Lenny really. is a speed boy and
even as freshman two seasons
ago he was a constant threat to
break open game with long
runs.
Scouts Learn About Danz.
But now that this years team
has been secuted a couple of
times opponents are learning
that Danz too must be watched.
Some adjustments in defenses
must be made to keep Dutch in
check, and this in turn will take
some of the attention from
Ciemniecki. With CIV threaten
ing a varied attack it may mean
a turn for the better.
Danz, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound
senior from Lancaster. Pa, has
been the workhorse of GW's run
ming offense in its games against
Wake Forest and Virginia Mill
tary. He's carried 26 times, to-
falling lit yards for an average
of As yards. That's good fig
ure for a fullback, especially one
operating behind an inexperi-
enced line that has yet to show
real skill at opening holes or
] blocking downf1eld.
Speed Shows in Pass-Catching.
Some idea of Ciemniecki's
speed and effectiveness can be
had from his pass-catching sta
tistics. He's caught four so far.
one for a touchdown, totaling IA
yards. biggest yardage by a
Southern Conference receiver
thus far in the young season.
His best catch was the one which
went for 35 yards and a touch
down against Virginia Military
last Saturday.
Passing has been an important
part of the CIV attack so far,
and it likely will improve. The
Colonials have averaged 1915
yards through the air in their
two games, an item that puts
them first in the Southern Con-
ference.
Ciemniecki isn't the only pass
catcher the Colonials have,
either. End Paul Thompson is
q fine one, although only fresh
man, and there are such old
hands around as Richie Gaskell,
George Baird, Pat Kober, Bill
Weaver and one or two others,
all of them dangerous.
