BUT WHEN Mr.. Prentice
made his purchase and got
into the hotel business - a
business in which there is
never a normal year-he found
that he had a hotel with large
rooms in front and a view of
the Capitol.
Carlyle did not seem to be
the right name. He knew that
the name was not directly de-
rived from Thomas Carlyle,
the sentimental Scottish his
torian, but from a successful
New York hotel of the same
name.
The large front rooms were
furnished en- ProUencal. That
gave Mr.. Prentice an idea. He
knew that Washington was
laid out by a Frenchman,
! Pierre L'Enfant.
That's what he named his
hotel.
Not satisfied with that, he
took off for Paris, to find the
house in which L'Enfant was
born.
He had the best guide on the
Partisan staff of the American
/ Express Co. as interpreter.
Mr.. Prentice made a very
sensible suggestion. That was
to call the L'Enfants in the
Paris telephone book. There
: were about a dozen. Eleven
told the interpreter that they
had never heard of Pierre
L'Enfant.

Some of the parents feel

Estabrook said today.
Many of the students insisted
on doing things their way
rather than as desired by the

said. Mr.. Estabrook said that
he and a number of the
parents would be present al

Mr.. Prentice and his guide

not much more dangerous ex-

lieved he was a descendant.
Mr.. Prentice went to Ver-
sailles. And there he saw in
the n1uSee some of the mill
tary- historical paintings of
L'Enfant's father. His sched-
ule took him to Spain. In Ma
drid he came upon a splendid
portrait of President Wash

hand map of our city, un-
doubtedly the L'Enfant plan.
Not frustrated, nor defeated,
about locating the house where
L'Enfant was born, Mr.. Prem

to a French researcher.
This is for sure: Before Mr..

This is not a success story.
But it will be.
It's about James H. Prentice
who made some money in the
real estate business. Among
other ventures, he assembled
the land on which the Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance build
ing stands.
He became interested in Sta
ton plaza.
Station plaza has a view of
the Capitol.

Union realized that and had

now the Washington residence
: of James Hoffa.
, With an eye to opportunity,
Mr.. Prentice bought a hotel
facing Station plaza which had
been known as the Capital
Park, was the USO center dur
ing the war and after that
was named the Carlyle.
1t was built about so years
ago, right after Union Station,
one of the wonders of the rail-
road era.

.Fix-Up Project OKd
By Planning Group
Adoms-Morgon
Area Project
Gets Go-Aheud

Both the fix-up and knock
down approaches to urban re-
newal in Washington ad-
vanced today.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission approved the
fix-up approach to the Adams
Morgan area of Washington in
an action believed to be unique
in the Nation. The commission
approved the boundaries of the
Adams Morgan urban renewal
project and also the objectiveS.
The commission said the
area "is the first in the United
States to have its officially ap-
proved urban renewal plan
based on recommendations
from committee of represent
ative citizens" The citizens
themselves decided to renew
their area under the auspices
of the urban renewal program.
Rehabilitation Stressed
The emphasis of the project
will be on rehabilitation rather
than demolition. Donald Bo-
Earth, chief of urban renewal
planning for the commission,
said demolition will be limited
to making room for more play
grounds and parking space for
the Eighteenth street and CO.
lumbia road NV. business
center. He added that some of
the industry in the Adams
Morgan area eventually may
be cleared to make room for
homes.
Today's action by the plan
ming commission sends the
urban renewal project to the
District Commissioners for
their consideration. If the
Commissioners follow suit, an
application for planning money
can be submitted to the Federal
Housing Administration.
Boundaries of Area
The Adams-Morgan COM
munity is a 240-acre area in
the Northwest bounded by Six
teenth street, Columbia road,
Ontario road, Lanier place, CAL
vert street, Rock Creek Park,
Connecticut avenue, Florida
avenue and u street. The
Adams Morgan citizen spon-
sored project was begun in the
fall of 1858 as a demonStra-
tion of this approach. The
citizens were guided by Dis
trict, National Capital Plan
ming Commission and American
University staff personnel.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission gave its
blessings to the knock down ap-
proach to urban renewal by ap-
proving the boundaries of an
80-acre project in the North
west bounded by Massachu-
setts avenue, New Jersey ave-
nue., New York avenue and
North Capitol street. The Dis
trlct Commissioners approved
this project after "a meeting
with officials of the redevelop-
ment land agency on May 81.
The Redevelopment Land
Agency yesterday approved a
request by Webb & Knapp. a
Southwest developer, to let it
build an eight-Story Office
building astride Fourth street
