Sturdy Old Apartment
Still Defies Demolition

A demolition team charged
with razing an old but sturdy
apartment building in Foggy
Bottom probably is out shopping
for a clean little old H-bomb
this week end.
Four times yesterday they
tried to blast the building down
with dynamite. -Four times they
tried to pull 1t down with bull
dozers.
But at dusk. there 1t stood,
tall and straight, at 2ll5 c
street NV, where it has been
standing for more than 80 years.
By-standers offered everything
from nerve-rasping advice to
the workmen TO bets among
themselves as TO when and II
the structure would come down.
Said one:
They ought TO put doors and
windows back on that building
and start living in it again"
One who might agree is vet
eran Washington builder, David
L. Stern, 3040 Idaho terrace
NV, who was the architect, the
builder and part owner of the
apartment.
The brick building, eight floors
high, 30 feet wide and 100 feet
deep, is supposed TO come down
to make way for the new State
Department addition.
The professional demolition
team, nonplused. left the Job be-
fore 4 pm, with little or nc
comment. One said they would

referred to the Senate Judiciary

Spoke Strongly
Mr.. Fowler had developed his
theme at a speech before stu
dents Of the University Of Mary
land last week. He spoke
strongly for adoption of another
change which would give the
disfranchised people Of the Dis
trict representation in the House
and Senate, which have ex-
elusive jurisdiction over the af-
fairs Of the National Capital.
Mr.. Fowler spoke Of the ques-
tions involved as to the dignity
of persons residing in the Dis
trict and how they have paid
Federal taxes and have sent
their sons to war like families
in all Of the States. Agreeing
that Congress has final control
of the affairs Of the District. he
still raised the question as to why
District residents could not be
given some voice in Congress or
a chance to vote for President

The hospital, he added. would

for expanded water facilities to

not for the considerations Of
