.FDR Concrete Slab
Memorial Rel iected
House Refuses
Permission for
Fund Raising

The House has turned down
the design of a memorial to
the late President Franklin d.
Roosevelt and directed that
the Fine Arts Commission ap-
prove the next suggestion be-
fore it comes to Congress.
Rejected was the idea that
the second Roosevelt would be
best remembered by eight giant
concrete slabs in West Potomac
Park. Sent to the Senate was
a bill prolonging the life Of the
Roosevelt Memorial Commis-
sion with an authorized ap-
preparation of $4,000.
The Commission had asked
that it be allowed to start q
campaign across the country
for funds to construct the mod
ernistic memorial.
Perhaps the most damaging
testimony on the slabs came
from the late Presidents son,
Representative James Roose-
velt, Democrat of California.
FDR's Tastes Cited
He told the House that while
his father was forward look
ing" in many things he did
have a conservative streak"
He pointed out that his father
was buried in an "unpreten-
tious" grave, marked by a
simple tombstone" he himself
had designed.
The grave, said the son, Is
representative" Of the late
Presidents good taste"
The slabs, however, were de-
Tended by Democratic Repre-
sentatives Thompson of New
Jersey and Keogh Of New York.
Mr.. Thompson said he failed
to see how the House could ever
decide whether any memorial
is actually appropriate. He
asked that the United States
stop going to Rome and
Greece" for its architecture.
Points to Competition
And Mr.. Keogh pointed out
that the Roosevelt Commission,
created by Congress, had fol-
lowed its wishes by staging a
lcompetition among architects
for the winning design. Yet, he
emphasized. Congress was re-
fusing to accept what it had
ordered. o..
He went on to say that the
design was indeed unique and
controversial" But, he asked,
were not these the qualities Of
the man it sought to represent?
But other members described
the design as "just plain ugly"
Representative ONeill, Demo-
crat of Massachusetts,, called it
a "monstrosity" and led the
fight to direct the commits
sion to try again for a more
appropriate design.
Representative Matthias, Re-
publican of Maryland, at one
point in the debate, suggested
that the slabs were not so
bad. But, he continued, "the
design lends itself to a remote
location" rather than the heart
of a metropolitan area.
Representative Widnall, Re-
publican of New Jersey, put in
that a rose garden would be
more appropriate.
Urges Tourist Center
Representative Schwengel,
Republican Of Iowa, suggested.
instead, a tourist center.
Representative Auchincloss,
Republican of New Jersey, who
said he had gone to school
with the President, reported
he was "aghast" at the slab
design. He hoped for something
else.
Representative st. George,
Republican of New York, re-
marked that it was obvious,
despite differences Of opinion
over the design, that everyone
favored a memorial to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

December

December, and dark falls
Swiftly down;
Stars Twinkle Brightly
Snow covers the ground.
December, and faces alight,
With the joy that stems
From that wonderful night;
What is this magic that
December brings,
This magic of love
And the sharing Of things?
1t all began ages ago
When a star shone; and 10,
OF a babe, Angels sang
Wisemen, Kings and Shepherds
came;
Bearing gifts to the little King
And so the magic was born that
night
With the love that came down
With Mary's Boy;
Who brought to the world
Salvation and light,
And filled mems hearts with
Peace and JOY!

ihc eHpidiIleu that ms applca- tion for building permit had been denied by the City building inspec- tor because his plans did not com ply with the setback rule.
 Claus stated that he did not feel 1t was fair to have such rule. He pointed out that the rule only af- fected the south side of the street, as all the buildings on the north side are constructed flush to the sidewalk. He also pointed out that the setback only affected one block, since both the Northward building and the Woolworth building are built flush with the sidewalks.
 Setback Illegal
 City Attorney Barry Jackson stated that he had ruled that the setback requirement was not legal and that he had instructed the building inspector not to hold LID a building permit because of the set back.
 Jackson went on to explain that his decision was not binding on the courts, if those property owners on the street who had set back filed suit to require Claus to set back.
 Jackson explained that the City would have to either let Claus build or purchase the five-foot strip from him at fair market value.
 Councilman Brewington noi1ted out that Claus only has a 50 ft.. x 50 1t. lot, end that if five. feet were taken, it would mean a loss of 10 per cent of his store area.
