Parkway Property
Offered for $4,000
Bid In for $4,000

An Arlington oil refinery
property, which had been Of
fered for sale for 100000 as a
portion of the George Washing
ton Memorial parkway, has been
bid in for $4,000 at a fore
closure auction, it was learned
today.
v. C. Worthington, president
of the Worthington Oil Re-
f1ners, Inc. of RoSslyn, was given
80 days to make up the balance
after he put up $500 cash
deposit at the sale Tuesday.
The Reconstruction Finance
Corp, had ordered foreclosure of
the Worthington company prop
erty to satisfy the balance owed
on an original note for SOS, 900
made in 1913.
Juts Into Right-of- Way.
The oil company was engaged
in the business of re-refining Pc
troleum products until a fire put
it out of operation on March IL,
1858. The property, consisting of
about $4,000 square feet, is on
North Oak street. It juts into
the right-of-way of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway,
a few hundred feet upstream
from Key Bridge.
The site has been considered
as a possible link for a roadway
between Lee Highway and the
parkway. The National Capital
Planning Commission, the Vir-
ginia Highway Department and
Arlington County Planners have
been studying the proposal for
some time.
Mr.. Worthington offered to
sell the property for $120, 600.
Under an arrangement for ac-
quiring parkway land, the Fed
eral Government puts up so per
cent of the cost, the State Is
per cent and the county Is per
cent.
Earlier this year, a bill author
izing a 100000 appropriation as
the Federal share was killed in
Congress.
Last winter the Virginia Gen.
eral Assembly appropriated the
States $4,000 share and the
Arlington County Board ap-
proved a similar amount in its
budget.
Arlington Planning Director c..
L. Kinnier. however, said these
figures do not commit the three
governments to purchase the
whole amount. but merely rep
resent the maximum that might
be- paid.
$4,000 Was Owed.
Arlington Attorney c. Wynne
Tolbert. representing the RFC.
said the original Indebtedness of
SOS 900 had been reduced to some
$34. 900. which, with interest and
taxes. now runs to more than
$40
Sheriff Carl Taylor of Airing
ton, who auctioned the property,
said he had no record of the
name of the only other bidder
against Mr.. Worthington. The
second bidder had run the price
up to $4,000 and repeatedly
was there representing the RFC.

New Acc BUILDING
10 Be Approximately
80 Miles From D. {.

The Government announced
today that the new building
planned for the Atomic Energy
Commission will be approx
mately 80 miles from the Dis
trict.
While it was not stated, it was
understood that the mileage
would be measured from the zero
milestone in downtown Wash
ington.
The building, according to q
joint announcement by the Cen
eral Services Administration and
the Acc, is to be a three STORY
building with basement, with a
gross floor area of 100000 square
feet. There also will be a ga
rage with 8,400 square feet of
floor space, and the total net
space is given as $4,000 square
feet.
To Be Air Cooled.
The building will be air-condi-
toned. 1t will have a parking
space for 500 cars. The sepa-
rate garage building and sewage
and water supply systems are
figured in as part of the $9.6
million project approved yester-
day by the House Public Works
Committee.
Whether the 30-mile distance
from the center of the Capital
will be the standard for future
buildings to be erected at dis
persed locations could not be
aScertained.
The Acc now occupies about
10000 square feet of space in
Washington but it is divided
among four buildings. The COM
missions chief building is the
former Public Health Service
Building at Nineteenth street
and Constitution avenue. The
commission also has space in
temporary buildings No. 3 and
No. 5 and warehouse at 501-13.
Twenty-Sixth street NV.
The measure approved yester-
day by the House Public Works
Committee now goes to the Sen
ate Public Works Committee.
The proposed building would
be the first big Washington area
Federal building project under
the new lease-purchase law. The
measure now needs only the
approval Of the Senate COM
mittee and the Budget Bureau
for the new lease-purchase pro-
cedure to get under way.
The building project was laid
before the House Public Works
Committee in the form of an
deliberately outlined proposal.
The Government Services Adj
ministration is authorized, under
the new law. to take the next
step if the project is finally APP
proved. This step would be to
call for competitive bidding from
contractors for the job.
Site to Be Selected.
The contract. to run for no
less than 10 years and not more
than Is years. would require the
Government to pay a specified
sum, like rent, towards the
eventual purchase of the prop
erty.
The exact site for the new
building would be selected by the
Atomic Energy Commission and
GSA.
Neither the House nor the
Senate will be required to act on
the project as approved by the
House Public Works Committee
once the Senate committee has
taken action.
The House Public Works
Committee acted yesterday in
closed session after hearing
three witnesses who appeared
for the new building. They
were Lewis L. Strauss, chair
man of the Atomic Energy
Commission; Peter Strobel,
public buildings commissioner
Of GSA, and Representative
Phillips. Republican, of Cali
fornia.
