Auditorium Site
On Isle Opposed

The deral Commission
drawing plans for a civic audi
forum and cultural center in
the Capital were told fatty yes
terday that Roosevelt Memorial
Island is mot available" as a
site.
The notice came from the
Theodore Roosevelt Association,
trustees of the island wildner-
ness memorial in the mid -Po-
tomac near the Lincoln Me-
mortal.
The Auditorium Commission
has not pressed for the island as
a site for its project, but has
listed it among a dozen other
locations as possibilities worthy
of study.
The association summed up its
feelings in this statement:
The Executive Committee of
the Theodore Roosevelt Associa-
ton has heard of the proposal
by the District Auditorium Com
mission at its recent meeting to
include Theodore Roosevelt Is
land among the various locations
| for the proposed civic audito-
rum.
The trustees. authorized
Hermann Hagedorn, director of
the association, to state in their
behalf that the island will not
be available for the erection of
an auditorium or any other pub
lie building.
THE proposed construction of
new Potomac bridge across the
southern end Of the island has
necessitated an entirely new APP
proach to the study of the island
as a national memorial to 'rheo-
dofe Roosevelt. The plans now
being prepared will be an
nounced in due course"
