WWII Monument Wins Panel’s OK
From Times Wire Reports
A controversial World War II monument to be built on the section of the Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument won 9-2 approval from the National Capital Planning Commission. The vote came after a series of witnesses denounced the plan as ugly and an obstacle to one of Washington’s best-known views. The witness list showed 26 against the plan and six for it. Although the vote was technically a preliminary approval of the site and design, no major changes seemed likely.
