Arlington Planners
Veto Tower Office
Height Bars
S. Million
Building

Owners of Arlington Towers
Apartment today proposed con-
struction Of a IS million office
building near the big apart
ment development on the Po-
tomac. but ran into height
difficulties.
The developer asked the Ar
lington Board Of Zoning Appeals
for a variance" which would
permit construction Of a IS
football building on land
which now has a 45-foot height
limit.
The coming board turned
down the request because it
would amount to an excessive
variance, but the board recon-
mended that the county gov
erning body consider rezoning
the land to a classification in
which 75-foot buildings would
be permitted.
Building Described
State Delegate William VIM
ston, attorney for Arlington
Towers, said the proposed
seven story building would
have 100000 square feet Of
floor space and 10000 square
feet of parking space on three
levels.
Mr.. Winston said the Office
building would fit in with pro-
posals for redevelopment Of
the Rosslyn area. The build
ing would be located on Lynn
street across from the Airing
ton Towers Apartments COM
mercial area.
The tract, containing about
two acres, now is zoned for
light industrial. The coming
board recommended that the
county governing body consider
rezoning it to a commercial
classification which has q 75-
foot height limit.
Commenting on the aesthetic
effect. Mr.. Winston said the
building would have a good
architectural design and that
1T would be somewhat lower
than the apartment buildings
and therefore shielded from
view from the Washington side
of the river by the apartments.
Tenants Signed
A spokesman for the apart
ments said the Arlington Trust
Co. which now owns one lot
on the proposed site. would
occupy the first floor of the
building. The spokesman also
said the Ford Motor Co. IS a
prospective tenant and that an
airline has expressed interest
in having Office space.
Zoning board members
pointed out that the 30-foot
variance requested would all
most double the height limit
in the present coming.
Board Member Mrs. Laura
Mccoy said that the "zoning
board should not act on mat
tiers which are the province OF
the County Board"
Last week, the county gov
erning body rejected a request
for a variance which would al
low construction of three 120-
foot Office buildings in the pro-
posed Pentagon City develop
ment. The County Board over
ruled the coming board, which
had earlier approved a 45-foot
variance which would have al
lowed the l20-foot buildings to
be constructed.

Letters To Editor
Two Honorable
Virginians

Editor s4The Herald
Virginia had a famous son
In days that used TO b.
Who told the world he'd rather die
Than to lose liberty
And General Lee, that man superb
Who for a cause fought on.
Fought for cause that he thought
right.
Until all hope was gone.
Did he, when clouds Of war grow
dark
And blood began to flow.
Refuse to fight for what was right
Or fail to meet the foe?
Through thick and thin he fought
to win
Against the Union S might
He fought four years AGAINST great
odds
For what he thought was right.
And only when through lack of men
His gray lines grew slender
Did he move to Appomattox
And to Grant, surrender.
And even when the war was lost.
He was a hero great
Because he tried with all his
strength
To serve his South and state.
To lose fight is no disgrace
When we, our best, have done.
But we. in shame, should hide our
face
When We. like towards, run.
Our general Lee will always be
Enshrined within our memory,
But what about a man we know
Who lacks veracity?
There are some men who promise
much
When they, for office, run;
Then after we've elected them.
Their promises. they shun. II
When some men are in politics.
