A—2 % REZONING IS ASKED ON BUZZARD POINT Changes in Large Tract Are Sought to Permit Indus- trial Development. Petitions for the rezoning of a large tract in the Buzzards Point area in Southwest Washington to permit ex- pansion of industrial developments there were presented to the Zoning Commission today during consideration of 15 other proposed changes in use classifications and two amendments to the zoning code. The entire area of 14 squares of land in the Buzzards Point section, lying south of P street and generally between Scuth Capitol street and the War Col- Jege, are involved in the proposed changes, the arca containing approxi- mately 1,250,000 square feet of land. Ingustrial development of this sec- tion has been stimulated during thef past year by official decisions. Thel area has been cited by members of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission as suitable for this type of development and Congress at the Jast session passed an act providing for carrying of railroad connections into the area. The Potomac Electric Powe! Co. now is completing plans for th erection of a huge power plant in the, section. Property Owners Speak. Affected property owners told ! commission today of these acts favoring | industrial development in the area “There was no general opposition to the | the ! plan b Charles W. Eliot, director of planning of the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission, filed with the com- mission a request that the areas to be rezoned for industrial use be reduced to an extent sufficient to protect the outlock of the War College and also to protect the residential development 1n this area of the Washington Sanitary Housing Corporation. a limited profit organization interested in elimination of alley dwellings. This latter point also was urged by A. P. Clark, jr, architect for the Sanitary Housing Corporation project. Both the amendments considered to- day by the Zoning Commission are designed to relieve traffic congestion on streets by some extensions of the pro- visions now permitting erection of garages. There was no opposition voiced against either items. Amendments Quoted. The first of the amendments reads “For the purpose of determining, the percentage of lot occupancy, corner | and triangular lots in_the first com- mercial and industrial D area districts, when used for public storage garages. may be assumed to have ab area not greater than 20,000 square feet and a frontage not greater than #00 feet on either of the intersecting #treets.” The present regulatiorta limit the area of such corner or triangular lots on commercial and industrial zones to | not more than 5000 square feet. The| purpose of the amendment is to make | possible development of a larger lot Adoption of the amendment Was favored by several petitioners. who | pointed out that the change in the re-| strictions would make such garage de- velopments economically feasible and serve to lessen traffic congestion. The other amendment makes possible | erection of a private garage on Tesiden- | tial lots which now are too short in depth to meet specifications requiring the garage building to be set back a certain distance from the curb line. It would be required, however, that such private garages be not closer than 10 feet from the rear of the house. There was no opposition to the proposal. Proposal Contested. A contest arose over a proposal for the rezoning of all the frontage on the | east side of Twentieth street. between | Florida avenue and R street, from resi- dential to first commercial use.. One property in this area now is being used for business under a temporary injunc- tion granted by the District Supreme Court. Dr. J. Lawn change. argued that th the street is zoned for business and this has damaged the residential char- acter of the east side, forcing him to give up his residence there and serv- ing to increase his expenses. He was opposed by Col. M. C. Buckey, U. S. A, retired, who declared there is a large amount of commercial space on the | street now unused and no further change should be made until there is & need for more commercial area there. Sixteenth Street Change Asked. C. B. Hurd, representing the Acacia Mutual Life Insurance Co., owner of property at 1666 K street. requested a change of the zoning there from resi- dential to first commercial use. The property is just west of Sixteenth street, which is restricted to residential use, but faces. K street, both sides of which are zoned for commercial use. The resi- dential zone on Sixteenth street now includes this lot within its restriction area. The commission was told this case is similar to that of the Bugher property on the north side of K street, which was changed to commercial use on a court decision. John B. Harry, represented by Charles 1. Norris, asked for commercial zoning of property at 711-717!; Twentieth street, opposite the Law School of George Washington University, which they said would be used as a parking lot for automobiles. Ringgold Hart requested a commercial classification for property at 933 M street, now residential, which faces an undertaking establishment on ihe op- posite side of the street. He was sup- ported by A. J. Driscoll of the Mid- City Citizens' Association, and Edward H. Young of the Logan-Thomas Circle Citizens’ Association.

'HALSEY STUART MEN SOUGHT FOR TRIAL Warrants Issued for Three as Result of Milwaukee Indictments. , By the Associated Press. | CHICAGO, October 5.—Warrants for Ithe removal of Harold L. Stuart and two other Chicago officers of Halsey, Stuart & Co., investment brokers, for trial at Milwaukee on an indictment charging use of the mails to defraud, | were obtained today by United States ! District Attorney Dwight H. Green. Tssuance of the warrants disclosed for the first time the name of those in- dicted. E. Hill Leith and Daniel Upp of Chi- cago were sought on the warrants here. | The district attorney made known that | Charles B. Stuart, vice president; Paul | M. Strickler and Lecnard L. Stanley { were the New York officers indicted. | Attorney Harold Beacome -notified i the district attorney the three Chicago defendants each would post ) | bonds today for appearance for trial | in Milwaukee and said they would not fight removal to Wisconsin. The indictments, each containing eight counts, charged .the company | with falsely representing the value and | earnings of buildings in literature sent through the mails fo prespective pur- chasers of securities of the Wardman Realty & Construction Co. and the ‘Wardman Real Estate Propertles in ‘Washington. Sentences of five years' imprisonment and fines of $1,000 could be given on each of the eight counts of the indict- ments in event of conviction. In connection with. the grand. jury action, Halsey, Stuart & Co. issued a statement saying, in part: “The Government's representatives aparently mean to contend that the bonds secured on these properties are virtually worthless, Yet taxes on the mortgaged properties are being collected by the Government on the basis of its own assessed valuation of approximately $15.000,000. These properties constitute one of the largest hotel situations in the United States, which throughout the depression has earned operating ex- penses, taxes and before depreciation a substantial amount applicable to in- terest charges. “More than 250 investment houses, in- stitutions and dealers joined in the dis- tribution of these securities throughout the United States. Halsey, Stuart & Co.'s good faith in this transaction is indicated by the fact that they pur- chased their shares of these securities outright with their own funds. The facts furnish no basis for these indict- ments. They could have been founded only upon a wholly prejudiced miscon- ception of what actually occurred. We $5.000 | Dies of Wounds | JAMES F. MORGAN.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 5—The German government is proceeding very carefully in connection with Great Britain’s pro- posal for a four-power conference at London to discuss the German demand for arms equality. It was intimated in official quarters that the cabinet has not yet discussed the proposal, which, therefore, remains unanswered. The government maintains its stand that the parley at London, if it takes place, must make it clear whether Ger- many’s conditions for further partici- pation in the World Disarmament Con- ference are to be accepted by the other powers. Germany emphasizes the need for a definite program for the proposed London meeting. This country would not object to participation in that com- ference by other states in addition to France, Italy and Great Britain, pro- vided that their presence would result in no confusion of the issues under consideration. The Berlin government withdrew from the arms conference in protest against the continued application of treaty restrictions on German arms. Recent French charges that Ger- many has violated the a; of the Versailles treaty will not be an- swered, a government spokesman said, because these charges have not been brought officially to the attention of the Reich. “As {ar as we are aware.” the spokes- man asserted, “the talk about a secrei French dossier of treaty infractions by Germany is all hypothetical. It Premier Herriot thinks he has the goods on us, let him come forward with his proofs. Until then the government can- not take notice of the allegations.” SIMON SEES HERRIOT.

Middle West, the gigantic Insull holding company. invested $40.000,060 in its 99 per cent stock ownership of the National Electric Power Co., but lost operating control last July when the New York banks took charge. Confer With U. S. Judge. Edward N. Hurley and Charles A. McCulloch, receivers, announced their plan to regain control for Middle West today after a conference in Danville, I, yesterday with United States Dis- trict Judge Walter C. Lindley. By obtaining the $21,000,000 loan and appiving it to repayment of the Na- tional Electric Power debt the receivers would obtain release of $36,000,000 in collateral pledged against the loan. The banks involved are the Chase National, Chemical National, New York Trust Co., Manufacturers’ Trust Co. and Cen- tral Hanover Bank. In a statement accompanying the an- nouncement, Hurley and McColloch said they could effec. much greater cfiiciency in operation of the Eastern utilities in the National Electric Power group by restoring unified control. As evidence, they asseried that since they took charge as recetvers of the big hold- ing company last April they had made a saving of $1,750,0C0 in i's annual office exper:ses, while the operating companies of Middle West Utuities had bettered their cash position by $2,855.000 ¢nd re- duced their floating Gebts by $4,300,000. It is pointed out by vhe receivers that substantial savings can be accomplished and operations can ve resumed under unified management and that the tre- mendous equity in those pledged assets can be preserved. The statement concluded: | Reconstruction Finance Corporation will have made a material, constructive contribution in aid of general business and will have thereby protected the rights and property of over 800,000 American citizens who are interested in properties located in 32 States of the Union.” GOTHAM RECEIVER NAMED.
