Mr.. Lewis assertion that he
wanted to protect residential
areas was challenged by the

Mr.. Taylor charged that the
statement belied proposal that

change, as did several other

He said he was concerned that
the proposal would threaten the

Former Commissioner Renah
r Camalier led a number OF
Northwest residents in a bitter
attack on consultant Harold M
Lewis new coming proposals last
night, and charged that the zon-
ing revision is based on some
"blatantly unavoidable" ideas.
Mr.. Camalier's home. at 4240
Nebraska avenue NV. is located
within an area completely sur
rounding Tenley circle, at Ne
brs ska and Wisconsin avenues,
which Mr.. Lewis proposed be
zoned as a big business and
commercial" center.
The ex Commissioner un-
leashed his main attack on this
recommendation But, in doing
so, he also blasted some of the
basic concepts behind the New
York consultant's city-wide zon-
ing policies.
He said Washington is de-
signed to ge the greatest and
most beautiful city in the world,
provided its reconstruction and
its face-lifting is left to those
who know the spirit and the
temper of the people who pay the
taxes"

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 10 (Spe-
ciaD Navy is considering the
possibility of playing a foot
ball game in Washington, but
it will be 1857 at the earliest
and a great many details have
to be worked out, Capt. Elliott
Loughlin. director of athletics,
said today.
The Midshipmen last played
here in 1884, defeating Virginia,
21-6, and official Washington I'M
doubtedy would welcome another
visit. Navy will not announce its
1857 schedule until November,
giving it time to work out de-
tails for such a game.
Navy plays Cincinnati and
William & Mary in Annapolis
next season, and Notre Dame
and Virginia in Baltimore. but
Capt. Loughlin said it was too
late to change the site of any
of those.
Baltimore has been particu-
larly attractive as a second
home" for Navy because of the
low rental on Memorial Stadium
with it's $4,000 seating capacity
Navy also shares in the conces-
sions. Griffith Stadium in Wash
ington controls the concessions
for all events there and takes
a percentage of the gate receipts
for a rental fee.
Navy officials believe, however
that some arrangements can be
made that will be sufficiently at
tractive to all concerned tc
justify staging a game in Wash.
ington. The biggest headache
might be the ALLEGATION of tickets
for the 36,000-capacity park.
