Circular Design Approved. Previous to the action of the Mary- land Commission another plan, calling for a circular instead of an oval treat- ment for the portal, had been adopte: by the Co-ordinating Committee of the District of Columbia, an sdvisory body of the National Capital Park and Plan- ni% Commission. e District Commission has stuck to the circle plan since that time and within the past two weeks the Co- ordinating Committee called on the District of Columbia Commissioners to obtain the land necessary for the circle 0 that the National Commission could g0 ahead with the project. With the District Commission firmly wedded to the circle plan and about ready to take steps to assure it, the matter has been referred back to the Maryland Commission and has been dis- cussed informally, but no action has been taken. Approved in 1930. The Oval plan was approved by the | Maryland Planning Commission = Sep- tember 11, 1930. as the form the Wis- | ccnsin avenue gateway to the National Capital should take. The action came after consultation with civic organiza- tions, especially the Montgomery Civie Federation and the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce. At the time the oval plan was adopted by the Maryland body the hope was expressed that the District Commission, which had already gone on record as favoring the circle plan, could be in- fluenced to reconsider its decision. This, however, has not been the result, and the District is now about ready to g0 ahead with the circle plan, throw- in(dfl‘le matter squarely back to Mary- and. Two-Fifths in Maryland. Approximately three-fifths of the project will be in the District of Co- lumbia and two-fifths in Maryland. Most of the land in Maryland neces- sary for the project is owned by B. W. Parker, who and who was chairman of the Parks and Playgrounds Committee of the Be- thesda Chamber of Commerce, which adopted the oval idea. e general meeting will also be presented with blueprint plans of the Wisconsin avenue improvement_project, as worked urge by Assistant Engineer Robert N. indollar of the State certain changes had been made to im- | as favored the oval plen | other people traveling with the show. “That night, a woman who had over- heard his remarks, told me about the abduction, but she didn't know who my parents were.
