" WALSHSTEONG CHANEE ASSALED Massachusetts Avenue Res- idents Protest Shift to Commercial. BACKGRCUND— Repeated contests over the zon- ing of property for business use along Massachusetts avenue near Dupont Circle have been staged before the Zoning Commission dur- ing the past 17 years. The struggle between business and fashionable residence increased with commer= cial developments on Connecticut avenue and location of Embassies and Legations on Massachusetts avenue. BY DON WARREN. Property owners along Massachu- getts avenue today laid down a heavy barrage of protest against the proposal of the estate of Mrs. Carrie Walsh for the granting of commercial usage for the palatial Walsh residence at 2020 Massachusetts avenue. This was one | of 43 cases being heard by the District Zoning Commission The hearing probably will last all day today and tomorrow. Among by representatives, Chauncey M. De Pew, famous orator those protesting in person were Mrs. widow of the and wit, who main- tains a home at 2107 Massachusetts avenue; Newell Ellison, representing himself and nine other property owners; Mrs. Charles R. Shepard, at 2027 Masschusetts avenue, and L. M. Leisenri speaking for the Dupont Circle Citizens' Association. Estate Paid $50,000. X A claim that the estate has paid out $50,000 in carrying charges dur- ing the past 10 years on the Walsh home, while property values were being depressed because of traffic con- gestion and other phyical coudilions was made by John E. Larson, attor- ney for the American Security & ‘Trust Co., trustee for the Walsh estate. He said the property had preduced no revenue except for a period when the home was used by the Govern- ment as offices for the Reset'lemen® Administration. Larson voiced fe. would become a bo; munity and cited ti properties on lowel or that the area apartme; e property, Larson a ed that such developments were impossible, citing the high valua- tion placed on the land Leisenring said the Dupont Circle Citizens’ Association was consistent in | opposing the change because for years | it had opposed admission of commer- | cial usage to Massachusetts avenue. | bleacherites didn’t wait jor the “Mar the Charm” | A more determined assault on the petition was made by Ellison who charged that the admission of a spot | of commercial zoning would “mar the | charm, reputation and character” of | Massachusetts avenue, which he as-| serted has a national reputation for | beauty. He cited the number of finei homes, embassies and legations along | the avenue and pointed to the Wash- ington Cathedral at the crest of the | avenue hill 1 Ellison said to grant commercial | eoning for the Walsh property would depress residential values and also in- | jure the value of commercial prop- | erties in the section because it would create an excessive amount of commer- | cial zoning.

Expressing his “earnest belief” that the Government “can't get anywhere” under the present anti-trust laws, At- torney General Cummings today re- iterated a proposal of six months ago that & commission be appointed to study revision of the laws. Many months of intensjve investiga- tion of allegedly collusive bidding by steel companies for Government con- tracts have led to a blank wall in so far as criminal action is concerned, he told reporters at his press conference. Evidence purporting to show that a group of the large rubber companies submitted identical bids to the Gov- ernment, in violation of the anti-trust statutes, was forwarded to the Depart- ment of Justice recently by the Fed- eral Trade Commission. Cummings said the rubber cases differ somewhat from the steel cases, and indicated action of some sort may be instituted. The steel cases are closed, however. “I don’t believe any successful crim- inal prosecution of steel companies can be had under the present laws,” Cum- mings asserted. He explained that the antitrust laws have been “devitalized” by strict interpretation of various courts. He reminded the reporters of a let- ter he wrote to President Roosevelt last Spring calling attention to the impotency of these laws and recom- > LAWYERS’ BRIEFS COMMERCIAL PRIRTING ADVERTISING SERVICE BYRON S.
