The District Zoning Commis-
sion will visit the Mazza tract
near Wisconsin and Western
avenues before deciding on a plan
to establish a million dollar shop
ping center there.
The promise was made yester-
day by Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prem
tiss, the Engineer Commissioner
and chairman OF the Zoning
Commission. He gave it after II
residents of the area spent two
hours at a District Building hear
ing explaining how much they
oppose the project.
The plan was presented earlier
in the day by James c. Wilkes.
attorney for Mrs. Louise Mazza,
who owns the tract. He asked
that zoning Of the tract be
changed from residential to COM
mercial. Under the plan, a one
acre piece of the property
bounded by Western avenue,
Forty-fifth street and Jenni-
fer street-would become the site
of a drive-in restaurant.
Apparel Shopping Center.
A second five-acre piece
bounded by Western avenue,
Forty-fourth street and Jennifer
street-would be turned into q
fashion and apparel shopping
center.
Opponents insisted the plan
would wreck the value of their
homes nearby, increase critically
congested traffic and create haz-
! ards for children.
Besides, Robert c. Riordon,
president of Friendship Citizens
Association, said most people in
the area don't want the project
and he presented two petitions
with some 800 names as proof
of it.

Herbert j. Rich. president Of

possible.

said, announcing that the mems

IN the organizations offices in

The plan calls for co-opera-

It was suggested by Brig. Gen.

chant organization and Capital

After consideration, the transit
company made this offer. Be-

Mr.. Rich's letter asked the re-
tail divisions to determine how
man stores would participate and
to list those which would con-
tribute to a fund with which to
buy tokens from the transit COM
pany and to finance a wide adj
vertising campaign.
Anthony E. Prichard, executive
vice president, said he doubted
all of Washington's big depart

However, he said, if three OF
the major stores were to par
ticipate it would give enough
impetus to make it work.
He said he felt sure at least
35 stores would be interested in

between North and South, Is less
race-conscious than the Capital.
Racial considerations are not
entirely absent from the New
York community. Residential
segregation remains. So do So
cial Observation-Disclosures are
excluded from country clubs
and similar organizations. And
these distinctions carry over
into the high school, where
only one white fraternity has
yet pledged Negroes. The new
project has brought asser-
tions from students that steps
may soon be taken within the
student body to change this Sit
uation, but they haven't yet
naterialized.
Little Mixing at Dances.
There is also little racial mix
ing at school dances, although
men teachers occasionally try to
set an example by dancing with
colored students.
Principal Thomson readily ad-
mits that the school has not
entirely solved this social prob
lem. But there seems to be no
particular concern about 1t on
the part of Negro students, and
other school activities have oper-
ated markedly to minimize race
consciousness within the school
Mr.. Thomson cited particularly
athletics and music.
Colored students have been
chosen several times in the last
few years to head the student
government and to hold class
offices. The colored students
have also won the respect OF
faculty members.

about it informally. But thu

Mr.. Thomson, in a pre-lunch.

the matter.
"Tell us what you like or dis.

commodity specialists to Europe,
Asia and Latin America to ex-

But we want private industry

countries where governments
either transact business or COM
pletely control it. The admins
