Baby Pygmy Hippo
WELCOMED at Zoo;
lis 18th Born There

Another pygmy hippopotamus
was born at the ZOO yesterday.
At any other animal park in
the world this would be an an
nouncement of cage shaking i'm
portance. But for Zoo Director
William M. Mann's menagerie
it's a ho-hum matter.
His Zoo makes a speciality of
producing the prince-size ver-
sion of the king-size animals.
All have been named Gumdrop.
This being the 18th born here,
she probably will be called Gum
drop XVIII.
Il don't know, though" DR..
Mann said today. Il may call
her Monotony"
The pygmy hippos were per-
manently labeled some years ago
by little girl, who had her first
look at a newborn baby pygmy
hippo. 1T looks just like a gum =
drop" she exclaimed.
No. 18 weighed is pounds at
birth. She viii be around 600
pounds when her turn comes to
j have Q Gumdrop of her own.

DISTRICT REJECTS
SECRET BALLOT
REGISTRATION TAG

A man undertook to reg
lister as a District voter today
under the label of secret
ballot American"
When Mrs. Virginia Cox,
deputy chief of the registra-
tion headquarters, explained
that the law requires each
registrant to designate a
political aftiliation, the ap-
plicant declined.
He filled out the registra-
ton form but insisted on
registering as a "secret oal-
lot American"
He said he had never oeen
required to state party affil-
lation in his home State, u
linois, and he did not intend
to do that here. Further
more, he said, this election
is a "phony" and he reg
istered only to bring the

Plaza
Project 10 Start

The Potomac Plaza Corp. plans
to break ground next week on an
eight-story cooperative apart
ment building, the first step in its
big residential and commercial
development proposed for the
old Washington Gas Light Co.
land in Foggy Bottom.
The District paved the way for
construction to start, it was
learned, with issuance of a build
ing permit this week for the 81
million apartment.
Royce F.. Ward, Potomac Plaza
vice president, said final papers
on the construction loan would
be signed late today. and that
initial construction contracts
already have been let.
The 274-unit apartment will be
built just east of the intersec-
tion of Virginia and New Hamp-
shire avenues NV. The land
formerly held the gas company's
main storage tanks.
The development is in the
center of the Foggy Bottom area
where city officials have desig-
mated two controversial sections
for urban renewal study. The
Commissioners specifically ex-
|cluded the Potomac Plaza area
from the urban renewal boun-
diaries.
Mr.. Ward said construction
of the apartment will take about
IA months and that SIS per cent
of the dwelling units already
have been sold. He said the
McLachlen Bank has contracted
for ground floor space to estab-
lish a branch bank.
Within the next six months,
he said, the corporation expects
to begin its second project, a
medical and Office building to
front on Twenty-fourth street
between Virginia avenue and H
street. This building would be
just east of the apartment, and
also sold on a cooperative basis.
