REAL ESTATE
Park Planners Order
New Bill Drafted for
D. {. Redeye|opment
ConsuItont Betmun Told
To Include Suggestions
Made During Meeting

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has directed
its consultant, Alfred Betman OF
Cincinnati, Ohio, to rewrite a pro-
posed urban redevelopment bill for
Washington which has been under
study for several months as a post
war plan for the elimination Of
blighted areas.
The proposed legislation, which
provides for the restoration OF slums
by both private and public enter
prise In accordance with precon-
ceived plans for the treatment Of
individual areas, is admittedly one
Of the toughest civic problems to
confront the Planning Commission
in years. Mr.. Betman Is returning
to Cincinnati to embody In the new
draft certain suggestions made by
various members during an all-day
discussion yesterday.
A draft of the legislation was sub.
mitted to members of the commits.
sion last month. so when the mat
ter came up for action, constructive
amendments were offered.
Controversial Problems.
For the present, the commission
will discuss the proposed legisla-
| ton only in generalities. 1t involves
too many controversial problems, it
was explained, and the lid will be
clamped down on these until the
revised bill is ready for submission
to the District Commissioners.
Off1cialS gave assurance, however.
that the bill seeks to provide ample
protection to both property owners
and future tenants of redeveloped
areas IN the matter of land prices
and rentals. After all, it was said,
| Congress would have the last say
about the development of specific
areas for the simple reason that it
holds the purse strings.
The Thomas bill in the Senate
provides for urban redevelopment
throughout the country as a post
war program. Local communities
would match Federal funds for slum
elimination in much the same
manner as States now are allotted
funds for road improvements. In
dependent legislation, however, is
proposed for Washington.
Master Plan Required.
In general way, a land-acquiring
agency would buy. sell and lease land
In blighted areas for either private
or public for redevelopment. The bill
would require the Planning Com
mission to draw up a master plan
of the District of Columbia-a work
1t has been undertaking any way for
a number of years.
/ A carefully worked out plan Of
development is proposed for each
blighted area and would have to be
followed strictly by whatever agency
undertakes to do the work. The
plan, for instance, would provide
for playground or school sites
in the area and these would
have to become a part of the de-

group of carrier-based planes fol
which funds were raised here during
the last War Bond drive.
Although .he $4,000, 100000 ma
tional drive will not start until Tues
day, two communities already have
reported oversubscription of their
quotas, the Treasury Department
announced today. Cherry County,
Nebr., has exceeded its $430,000 goal
by $4,000, while the 1000 employees
of the Globe Shipbuilding Co. at
Superior, Wis, likewise have gone
over the top.
Treasury spokesmen said they are
counting on workers in war plants
and other industries to buy the
equivalent of 500 bond each, add
ing that credit would be given for
bonds purchased during the CAM
paign under regular payroll deduc-
tion systems.
Plant Goal 21k Billion.
Attainment of all plant quotas
would raise more than $4,000, 900 600
in cash, the Treasury said. It en-
phasized, however, that Treasury re-
ports on bond sales are computed on
a basis of money actually received
rather than the maturity value of
bonds. Thus the purchase of S10O
War Bond will represent only $75
toward a plant or city quota.
The National Negro Insurance
Association has pledged member
companies to purchase at least $4,-
d 100000 worth of securities during
the fourth drive In a communica-
ton to the Treasury Department,
c. L. Townes of Richmond, Va,
secretary of the association, pointed
out that $3,026,211 was raised in the
Third War Loan drive against a
quota of $l,518,000.
More than 10000 nameless men
and women in State prisons and re-
formatories will take part in the
forthcoming campain. They bought
$984,000 in War Bonds and stamps
during the third drive.
Meanwhile, the Variety Club and
Station WRC are hopeful that some
patriot will buy sl,000,00O worth of
bonds for the Ice-Capades bond
matinee next Saturday, giving the
buyer the privilege of being host to
100 invalid servicemen at the per-
formance. The 81 100000 buyer will
sit on a golden throne.
