Drastic Tidal Basin 1
Changes Forecast
By Wender
- (
Civic Leader Claims 3
Memorial Is First Step (
In Extensive Plan
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial j
is just one phase of a scheme to re
vamp the entire Tidal Basin area,
••slaughtering" most of the cherry
trees on the northern side of the
basin, Harry Wender told members
of the Southwest Citizens’ Associa
tion last night.
Mr. Wender, president of the
group, said he learned from an ‘‘un
impeachable authority" that the
plan involves filling in almost a
quarter of the Tidal Basin along
the northern side so as to permit
the extension of Independence ave
nue S.W. to the Lincoln Memorial.
"Despite protests, authorities are
going ahead with the memorial. I
have been told that as soon as con
tracts for the memorial are let, or
as soon after as public opinion will
stomach it. carrying out the rest
of the plan will be started. Mr. j
Wender expressed surprise that the i
"diabolical scheme" had not come
to light earlier.
Send Protest to Roosevelt.
The association adopted a resolu- |
tion, transmitted this morning to !
President Roosevelt, condemning the
type of memorial to be erected, the
Tidal Basin as its site, destruction
of the cherry trees or other trees, :
and protesting plans such as out
lined by Mr. Wender.
The whole Tidal Basin area is in
the Southwest Citizens’ Association
territory.
Unsanitary conditions in the
Washington Channel were also pre
dieted by Mr. Wender should ex
tensive changes in the shore lines
eliminate the east gate of the Tidal
Basin.
The disturbance at the 4th
police precinct station house when
applications for charwomen’s posi
tions were distributed there last
month was blamed by Police Capt.
Oscar Letterman on the "colored
gentleman" who "was not interested
in obtaining a position, as were the
ladies in line,” but who succeeded
in having the police lines broken.
Gratified by Commendation.
Capt. Letterman expressed gratifi
cation at the association's action
last month in commending the
police for the way they handled
the situation. "It is about time the
citizens woke up and supported their
law’-enforcing agencies,” he said.
William A. Van Duzer, District
traffic director, discussed traffic
problems in the Southwest area and
commented on the decrease in auto
mobile accidents, traffic injuries and
traffic deaths this year.
In other resolutions, the unit
backed the Southeast Citizens' As
sociations. who are asking that the
new Pennsylvania avenue bridge be
named for John Philip Sousa, and
appropriated $25 to the Community
Chest and $2 to the Tuberculosis
Association for Christmas seals.
Four new members. James R.
Bailey, A. H. Ewers, William Plew
and Richard Arthur, were admitted.
8 Charges Laid
To Youth Riding
Motorcycle
A 20-year-old motorcycle rider was
sentenced to pay a total of $135 or go
to jail for 105 days in Traffic Court
yesterday on eight charges arising
out of what was described as a 50
mile-an-hour chase through the
heart of the downtown section.
The defendant. John Manthos. 400
block of Second street N.W., was
charged with third offense speeding,;
passing six red lights and colliding,
all on the night of November 10.
Motorcycle Officer Anthony Richitt
told Judge John P. McMahon he
first observed Manthos at Fifth and
Indiana avenue N.W. with three
passengers on his motorcycle.
The officer said he gave chase
and one of the passengers fell off
the vehicle shortly before it was
halted at Eighth and D streets N.W.,
where the other two passengers dis
mounted. Manthos then sped away
at between 50 and 55 miles an hour.
Officer Richitt said.
At Fourteenth street and Pennsyl
vania avenue, the officer said he
gave up the chase, calling Police
Headquarters to broadcast a look
out.
Manthos later collided head-on
with an automboile on Ellipse road
just south of the White House and
broke his leg.
