The Commissioners’ report bill declared: It is manif in the future growth of the Capital and environs the commission will be in a Authority that might be ing to the administrative authoritie District of Columbia, Mary nin. With the present com position of the Nutional Capital Park Commission. it is not probable that iny discord will arise. Al the mem bers arve Federal officers in positions legislative or administative au thority. with a thorough knowledge of the National Capital and its en virons. and with a full appreciation heir responsibilites Experience elsewhere in the ['nited States has shown that those who are not in positions of authority and re sponsihility are prone to create plans that those who are responsible can not earry out. either hecause proper consideration has not been given to the ordinary requirements and neces- sities of municipal activities or be. cause the plans provide for things be- yond the capacities of the taxpayer The Commissioners recommended one modificatior which would charge the commission with the duty of de velopinz comprehensive, and co-ordinated plans for the Na tional Capital and its environs, to include recommendations to proper executive authorities as par on the it that ational proposed position of embarrass of to s, parkways and play- grounds. It is apparent the Commissioners sald. that the inclusion of other items set forth in section 1 (b) would take from the Board of Commlissioners, the Zoning (lommission, the Public Utilitie: Commission, the school board and the director of traffic. many of the duties and responsibi litles now intrusted to them. Th enactment of the bill with the para- graph as worded originaily would re- move from these agencles, the Com missioners explained. the power to plan and initiate, and these agencies could no longer be held responsible for the duties intrusted to them by the acts of Congress creating them. Needs Expert Talent. “It is manifest that nobody. however brilllant he may be. ix competent to prepare detailed plans for a city with- out knowledge of the municipal activ- ities of that city. and this knowledge cannot be acquired without study, which requires much time and atten: tlon. The National Capltal Park Com- mission should have the most expert talent available to develop plans for the National Capital. but these assistants should be employed, as w Enfant and Ellicott, who develoned the origi nal plan of the National Capital, under the supervision of Presidents Wash- ington and Jefferson. The National Capltal mission is Park now composed of seven members, and the addition of other members will make that commis- sion too large for efféctive adminis- trative work. Proposed changes in the highway plan are often an emergency nature and require prompt approval by the Highway Commission. There fs more delay in getting a large commission together than in assembling a small one, and the more members there are more probability there iz of contro. versy, which will lead to further de- lay.” The official transeript of the hear- ings before the subcommittee on bath ing pools, playgrounds and parks on the bill to enlarge the National Capital Park Commission and entrust to it city planning powers, shows that Lieut Commissioner of the District, emphatic- ally supported the bill. Tn his statement before the commit- | tee, while the fort dri street. the Improvement of Piney Branch road. and the Reno reservoir were under discussion. he safd: “I want to subscribe fully sentiment expressed by Mr. (representing the Commission of Fine Arts). I think he has described fully the ideas of the District Commisslon- ers in respect to this matter. We have been trving to do those things for years, but we cannot get them done. partly due to the fact that have not had the talented experts to make the necessary studies. so that the ideas could be put before (on- P in a convincing way. In other words, we have been going on a hand- to-mouth existence, doing fairly well with the appropriations available and with the plans made. hut dragging he- hind all the time and having new <ui. divisions developed. thereby losing all chance of developing the plans for park and school sites.

The peak of “Lack of time” will prevent Repre- sentative Blanton from going through with his proposition to test the po- tency of Baltimore's beer, with Rep- resentative Hill of that city as the “subject,” but he reiterated today his assertion that he knows personally of at least one place In the Monu- mental City where one can get drunk, and added that he wouldn't he sur- prised If Washington had an oasis or t also.

Dr. Mann's address crystallized the desire of the delegates 10 get a con- crete outline of the duties of & voca- tional counselor and to adopt princt- ples of his work. Questions were asked for u definite outline of the counselor’s dutles, but speakers said becuuse the field Is so new and the duties are so varied under different circumstances and environment such an outline could not vet be had.

Yesterday afternoon’s discussion was aplit with declarations of widely di- vergent views on who the counselor should be, what his duties are and how his work should be sccomplished.
