Delay Faces
Addition to
Hospital

District General Hospital's
reconstruction program may
be held up for at least another
year because budget officials
now estimate the $11.8 million
Congress appropriated is not
enough.
The city's Buildings and
Grounds Department now puts
the cost of joining three Of
the hospitals main buildings
into one, and adding a new
wing, in the neighborhood Of
SIS million.
District Commissioner Wal
| ter N. Tobriner said yesterday
the city is now looking into
construction plans to "see il
any pruning can be done" to
take the costs back to the
lower estimate.
If not, he said, the only al
! Tentative is to go back to Con-
gress for an additional author
ization.
Mr.. Tobriner also warned
that even if the city can work
out the cost problem. it still
faces the problem of where to
get revenues once building is
begun.
About So million is available
for the first phase of the re-
construction project, he said,
but the District will have no
capital outlay money during
fiscal 1864. Mr.. Tobriner said
that to go on with the building
project the city will either have
to get an increase in Federal
payments from Congress or
raise taxes of District resi-
dents.

Sufficient Studies
The general said that there
have been sufficient studies of
the transportation problem in

total need that must be pro-
vided for.
II believe also" said Gen.
Clarke, that we can secure
among all the agencies a re-
markable degree of unaniminity
on the numbers of people for
whom adequate mass trans
portation should be provided
and the numbers who should
be provided with adequate ia
cilitieS for travel by car.
Highways and mass transit
must each take care of a por.
ton of the overall transporta-
ton needs, Gen. Clarke said.
Differing Problem
THE m ass transportation
problem is concerned primarily
with the movement of people
into and out of the downtown
section of the region" he said
THE highway problem is con-
cerned primarily with moving
those people who are not going
downtown but who are moving
in diffused patterns through.

The proper solution for the

As it nears completion, the

said.
North Of the Avenue there
must be underground parking
for 10000 to 10000 automo-
biles, he said. The program
envisaged might change the
location of streets and reshape
entire blocks, it was explained.
Three major items of agree
ment reached at the two-day
meetings with the National
Capital Planning Commission,
as part of a tentative plan.
were listed by Mr.. Owings as
follows:
/. 1.-The Avenue has got to be
widened-how wide, we don't
know yet," the present width
is approximately 100 feet.
2. There must be enormous
amount of underground park
ing north of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to meet the needs OF, the
city by the year 2000."
8. Whatever is done must
be done in an open area-in
essence, a green space in which
the buildings will float in their
setting, rather than constitute
a continuous facade as on the
Avenues south side"

Progress and other organiza-
tions concerned with replanning

To carry out the scheme, the
