Conflicting Advice

Earlier. at the beginning of its
all-day hearing in the District
Building board rooms, the COM
mission got sharply conflicting
advice on a proposal to set mini
mum sizes for residential build
ing lots.
Georgetown citizens turned
out in force to provide most
support for the proposal, which
they had inspired the commits
sion to suggest. They complained
THAT builders are carving up the
relatively few remaining lots in
the city and overcrowding the
land with small. closely-spaced
houses.
The rush is on. they said. to
do this before the new overall
Izoning regulations go into effect

Washington is growing and
one evidence Of this is increasing
downtown employment. Another
is the moving business.
Fred z. Hetzel, director, United
States Employment Service for
the District, said today:
Employment opportunities
are greater here now and in gen.
eral have kept pace with the
population growth. One Of the
reasons why the population has
grown is because of job oppor-
tunities in Washington.
"The Government in general
has remained pretty stationary
recently. There has been no oc-
casion for any large influx to the
Government. The figures would
indicate that private employment
Is forging ahead more rapidly
than the Government. That is
a good sign. There is a trend
in that direction right now.
Another encouraging thing is
while there has been SO much
population growth in the sub
urbs, from our viewpoint the em-
ployment Is Ieveling OF. There
is more Of a trend toward down
town employment catching up
with the suburbs. And we think
that is good. too"
Mr.. Hetzel pointed out the
latest available employment fig
ures for the metropolitan area
showed 625.800 for September
and 618,900 for August. He said
a year ago the figure was 615, 600
for September. This means an
increase of 10000 jobs and they
are almost entirely downtown
figures Mr.. Hetzel asserted.
They are mainly in construction.

explained.

Seeking permission to build q

Of Mclean Gardens on Wiscon-
sin avenue, the Equitable Life
Insurance Co. fought an uphill
battle yesterday before the Dis
trict Zoning Commission.
Against the company, in q case
that was called probably unique
in District zoning history" were
separate reports from two out OF
three members of the Zonine
Advisory Council, with the third
member recommending delay
and further study of the applica-
ton.
The commission, composed Of
the three District Commissioners
plus the Architect of the Capitol
and the director of the National
Park Service, must listen to the
council, but need not take its
advice.
The two reports recommending
rejection of the application were
from John Nolen. jr., director
Of the National Capital Plan
ming Commission, and Robert o
Clouser. director Of planning fol
the Zoning Commission, both
members of the council.
The third member, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner T. B
Hunter, urged that the proposal
be- submitted to the consultant
now redrafting coming regula-
tions generally.
Downtown Site Urged
Both MIR. Nolen and Mr.. Clous-
er urged that all efforts be made
to keep such a business in the
downtown area. Mr.. ClouseI
recommended that this ground
should not be released for office
purposes as long as there is even

used for a regional shopping
