The commission has before it several large areas in the northwest involving this same question, and officials ex- plained that the Manor Park case was laid over in order that a careful study may be made of the broad principle in- volved in these several large areas, to be barred from the A restricted area after this year. The commission decided several months ago that after January 1 noth- ing but detached homes could be erect- ed in an A restricted area, and officials stated today that the study now being given to the Manor Park and similar | cases does not necessarily mean that | the January regulation is to be modi- | fied. | Questions Involve Frontage. | ‘While offiers of the commission were not prepared to discuss today just what solution they have under consideration, it is understood that there has been some discussion of the advisability of permittirig com- munity house groups with certain re- certain amount of frontage should be left as open space in a block.

He told the president that the meeting had commissidned him to say that the people of Greece would repudiate any party leaders who obstructed the formation of a coalition government, which it was belleved' alone could save the coun- try from further catastrophes.
