"A—14 %% THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1935. SHSTEAD RCES PLAYGROUND AD Will Discuss Work for South- east Section With Delano. Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, of Minnesota, is convinced the play- grounds in Southeast Washington badly need improvement and it was said today he proposes to take the matter up with Frederick A. Delano, chairman of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, which will be in session next Monday. John Nolen, jr., director of planning | of the National Capital Park and | Planning Commission, with whom the | Senator made an inspection tour yes- | terday, explained plans of the com-| mission “for southeast parks, play- | grounds and recreation centers, point- | ing out that lack of adequate funds | has retarded the full development of | this program. | Under the set-up, the planning| commission only buys land, leaving it | to the National Capital Parks, the | playgrounc. department of the Dis-| trict government and the Community Center department of the Board of Education—which are the operating agencies—to carry out the detailed | plans and administer them. Periodi- cally, Congress has appropriated funds for the purchase of land and the com- mission is now carrying forward this program. i Money to Buy Land. The deficiency appropriation bill, now pending in Congress, carries some ‘ $800,000 for the National Capital Parks and Planning Commission to buy land with. This pushes mrward‘ the Capper-Cramton program, under ‘which $16,000,000 is to be expended in the District for parks, playgrounds | and recreation centers. Part of the $800,000 will be spent as soon as made | available in the Southeast to fill out the recreation system, already planned by the commission. Shipstead was represented as liken- ing the Southeast playgrounds to those suitable for the Civil War era Senator Shipstead's tour took in the Buchanan School play center, while he got a first-hand view of the situa- tion. The Southeast Business Men's Association is likewise interested in having the playgrounds improved speedily. To Ask U. S. Funds. Shipstead thinks funds can be se- cured for the improvements, possibly from the Works Allottment Board or Modern Da Vinci “LAST SUPPER” MURAL PAINTED BY WOMAN. MRS. ALICE STALLENECHT WIGHT.

Settle, secretary of the commission, explained today that his organization has a program mapped out for the Southeast, as well as other sections of the city, but money is needed to carry it out. Louis R. Barrett is the newly ap- pointed co-ordinator of recreation and ‘fl is considered likely that the Min- ‘nesola Senator will confer with him | shortly in an effort to see what can be done to ameliorate the Southeast situation.
