|Grondmo's Music Room Was Real Asset
BY Betty Lenohon

Modern homemakers are dis
covering that grandmother really
had something when she set
aside the front parlor for spe-
cial occasions and company en-
tertainment and often called it
the music room.
Though there is little of the
formal, uncomfortable, ornately
carved black walnut and horse
hair furniture atmosphere in the
contemporary version Of the
music room, there is growing
trend today to allocate one area
in a home for entertainment,
family or company style, and to
assemble the equipment which
provides it in a single convenient
location.
Space permitting. a den or
playroom is generally the choice
for such a musical setup, with
comfortable chairs, pull up
stools, tables for games and an
informal decor all designed for
leisurely relaxation.
Dining rooms, too, are being
made more useful, doubling as
TV rooms.
While separate music room
will always be an ideal solution
to the entertainment problem,
today's smaller homes do not
usually lend themselves to such
an arrangement. If space is at
a premium, the same results may
be achieved by using the music
equipment to form an effective
and decorative room divider.
For instance, the attractive
free -wall unit illustrated is
used to separate a living room
study area from the music
room" Complete with a tele-
vision receiver, portable push
button tape recorder and high
fidelity equipment, the divider
also offers plenty of storage
facilities with sliding panels to
conceal the shelves for record
collections, etc.
And, as a final decorative
touch, a space in the unit was
allotted for plants or knick-
knacks. Lightweight chairs
and stools, easily moved for a
better TV screen view, were
added to complete the furnish
ings of the area.

A series of fast moves this
week broke a calm that had
settled over the bitter road fight
involving U. S. Route 240 and
the Maryland belt freeway.
Key issue in the fight is
whether the belt road-connect-
ing with Route 240-can be built
in Rock Greek Park between
Wisconsin avenue and Forest
Glen. A Federal judge has asked
for plans showing how the road
would affect the park.
Faster-and more quietly
than expected, the plans have
been: Finished by the MasSachu-
sets firm of Olmstead Bros,
approved by Maryland planners
and road builders, flown to Ma
tional Capital Planning Commits
sion Chairman Harland Bar
tholomew in Columbus, Ohio,
and sent to the Planning Com
mission staff for study.
The planners will meet at a
special session, possibly within
two weeks, to take up the plans.
If they're acceptable, the plans
are expected to go straight to
the court.
The Federal planners. defend
ants in the court suit brought
by Maryland property owners,
withheld comment on their first
reaction to the plans. But other
sources indicated Mr.. Bartholo-
NEW. at least, was pleased by
what he saw.
Maryland citizens fighting the
roads, meanwhile, held one of
their biggest mass meetings
during the week. Spokesman said
it was strategy session to map
new moves.
Ever since the first indefinite
proposals for redeveloping
Southwest Washington; officials
have failed to resolve one big
iSsue-the use of Tenth street
S.W. between the waterfront
and the mall.
City highway engineers plan
to rebuild Tenth street as a big
volume traffic street. Planners
and would-be redevelopers want
it rebuilt on monumental, park
like proportions, to function
mainly as an attractive link to
the southwest.
The two uses are far enough
apart that Federal planners
have left the area blank on
their official maps.
In the first positive step
toward a solution, the zecken-
dorf firm of New York, which
wants to handle the big re-
development job, hired a high
way consultant to get together
with the city road builders.

move. But one big factor in the
talks will be whether the street
can be built to serve both pur-
poses within the expenditure the
city can afford to make.

trict sent to Capitol Hill this
week for $31 million, made pos

The city's new-bridge merry
go-round will start churning
again Wednesday,, when Repre-

subcommittee goes behind closed
doors to WreStle with proposed
spans.
Highest hope for a new bridge
rests with one at Jones Point,
Alexandria. mainly to serve by
pass traffic around the city's
center. Proposed bridges at E
street NV. and at Reaches Run
are so locked in controversy be-
tween road builders and plan
ners that neither side gives
either proposal much chance.
If there's agreement on Jones
Point, the House unit will have
to act fast. The Senate hasn't
taken up the bridge question at
all yet, and Republican leaders
are driving for an early adjourn
ment.
A District request for elimina-
ton of a congressional ban on
redevelopment of Southeast

has been formally sent to the
Senate Banking Committee.

mark up the new housing bill.

ment proposals by a group OF
