Group 10 Weigh
Housing Offer
In Alexandria
Budwesky AssoiIs
Permanent Status
Of Federal Units

Appointment of a committee by
the Alexandria City Council to make
recommendations concerning the
purchase of three Federal emergency
war housing projects is scheduled
next Tuesday.
Oliver c. Winston, regional direc-
tor OF the Federal Public Housing
Authority, at conference last night
said the city will have preference
over other prospective buyers for
the three developments, Cameron
Valley, Chinquapin Village and
Ramsay Homes.
During the session. City Manager
Carl 'Budwesky assailed the Federal
Iagency's classification of the projects
as permanent" creating the pos
|sibility that they may reach private
owners when sold.
Asserting that 1T Is indecent and
immoral to come into a community
and violate all regulations and then
Iperpetuate these conditions" Mr.
Budwesky said the Federal Govern
ment has acted with contempt for
the best interests of this COM
munity."
Cites Municipal Violations.
The city manager cited the 30 foot
streets in the developments, while
city regulations call for so feet, null
tiple units in single family residen-
tial zones, and commercial estab-
lishments also in residential areas,
all violating municipal building, zon-
ing and planning codes.
Mr. Winston said he "defied any
one" to prove the projects are not
up to city construction standards.
He pointed out that Federal Of
ficials worked closely with city plan
ming officials in working out speci-
fcations of the projects.
The projects, he said. are not
terminated" yet and there is no
need for anxiety concerning their
immediate disposition. The three
ways in which they can be sold, he
added, is to the local housing au-
thority, to individual tenants or to
private investors at a fair market
value"
Denies U. S. Interest in Sale.
"The Federal Public Housing Au-
thority has no recommendations or
plans for their sale" he continued.
The agency wants the city govern
ment's recommendation as to dis
position, he stated.
Ninety days will be allowed for
the first recommendation after the
formation of local committee, he
told council members. adding it Is
desired to arrive at definite plan
for the disposal of these projects
within the next three months.
Sale to the Housing Authority re-
quires prior consent by the city gov
ernment and the approval OF Con-
gress. he said.
Ruling Surprised" wilkins.
Mayor William T. wilkins said he
was surprised" that the projects
were classified as permanent. They
cover approximately rs acres, he
said, constituting large portion OF
the remaining residential area In the
city.
Glenn u. Richard, vice chairman
of the City Housing Authority, said
it would be desirable to consider
carefully what might happen If the
projects fell into private hands.
Mr.. Richard pointed to the adop-
ton by the city about two years
ago of a resolution which provided
in part that no public war housing
shall be disposed of without the
prior approval of the local govern
ing body. Similar legislation SUBJ
sequently was enacted by the State
Legislature, he said.

|Land-Use Plan
For Bethesda
Gets Approval
Planners Support
Characterization of
Woodmont Triangle

y A land-use plan for the Bethesda
business district providing for COM
i mercialization of the Woodmont
1 Triangle between Old Georgetown
4 road and Wisconsin avenue north to
{ Auburn avenue today bore the ap-
4 proval of the Maryland National
I Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion.
The plan, adopted yesterday, was
filed with the Montgomery County
\ Circuit Court clerk.
At the same time, the commission
4 abandoned proposals for future
/ widespread extension of apartment
& house coming in the area.
j Business Area Doubled.
Under the new plan, land classified
i for commercial use is approximately
doubled in area. Virtually no change
Is made in existing industrial zoning
; while apartment house zonipg is ex-
tended south of Bradley boulevard
and west of Wisconsin avenue and
east of Wisconsin avenue south of
Z East-West highway.
The commission emphasized its
action merely sets up zoning stand
ards since the actual rezoning is
/, done by the County Commissioners.
E. Brook Lee, vice chairman of
the commission, said property own
ers affected by the plan may apply
!, for rezoning until November Is.
The Woodmont area is now zoned
residential with the exception of
property along both sides of Old
Georgetown road and Wisconsin
avenue. 1t is one of the oldest resi-
Dental sections in Bethesa and con-
sists principally of small homes.
Creates Compact Center.
Commission members pointed out
that commercial expansion in this
area will create compact business
center rather than one strung out
along main highways.
They added that it will enable new
commercial uses Of land to grow in
ward instead of outward into good
residential neighborhoods.
In other actions, the commission
announced plans for recreation
areas along the proposed Little Fall
Branch parkway between MasSa-
chusetts avenue and the Delecarlia
Reservoir and in the Woodacres Sec
tion north of Massachusetts, avenue
extended, west of the Baltimore &
Ohio freight line, south of River
road and east of Goldsboro road.
Recreation facilities in the IA
acre Little Falls Branch parkway
area would include large exhibi-1
ton baseball or football field, three
regulation-size baseball or football
fields, five softball fields, Is tennis
courts, several play areas and loca-
tions for picnic tables, location
for swimming pool a community
building and automobile parking
spaces.
Will Follow Growth.
The commission said the plan
will be developed as the population
growth may require.
The eight-acre recreation area to
serve Woodacres will be co-or-
dinated with the proposed new high
school to be erected on a 27-acre
site purchased recently by the
Board of Education.
The commission said the welfare
of the community would be served
best by establishing the recreation
center north of Woodacres, where
a summer recreation program has
been in operation during the last
three years.
