Suburbs Are Disgrace
ToDC.,Reyno|ds Says
In Plea for PLANNING

Washington's suburbs are a dis
grace to the District" Public Build
ings Commissioner w. E. Reynolds
told the Washington Real Estate
Board yesterday.
On the outskirts Of the city, he
said, "we are building the slums of
20 years hence"
Mr.. Reynolds was guest speaker
at the second of a series of six
monthly luncheons being held by
the board to keep abreast of the
times.
What is needed to prevent these
future slums is a metropolitan plan
ming body to decide how all the land
In Washington and its surrounding
areas should be used, he said.
Cites Federal City"
He referred to the plans of his
agency for a Federal City, in the
Suitland area as one way repetition
of past mistakes could be avoided.
1t is necessary to plan cities for
the motor age-to give the public
quick transportation facilities in the
form of six-lane depressed express
ways, he said. Separated by major
thoroughfares of this type, COM
munities of 5000 like those in the
plan for the Federal City" should
be created, he said. They would
be insulated from the congestion
which now causes blight.

be of-street parking facilities to
handle private vehicles.
Auto Brings Problems.
Before 1880, he said, cities were
laid out so everything would be
within walking distance. BY 1910,
they were laid out according to
transit lines, and everything was
put as nearly as possible within a
smile radius.
At the same time, the automobile
started expanding the area city
could occupy and created new prob
lens which could not be foreseen at
the time. AS traffic increased, he
said, blight caused by congestion
started. Residents moved further
out but duplicated the same type of
and extended the same
street system.
The effect has been that more
land became zoned for business than
was necessary. Blighted areas left
by this process average 20 per cent
of all city areas.
In this 20 per cent lives an average
of SO per cent of the population.
Here is found so per cent of the
crime, so per cent of the juvenile
delinquency, 60 per cent of the tu-
berculosis, so per cent of disease
generally, IS per cent of the fires.
On this 20 per cent of the land,
cities spend an average of As per
cent of their tax revenues, while
the area contributes only per cent
of the money raised by taxes.

Libruriun Demands
U. S.-Russiun Accord
To Prevent War

The public has been thrown into
a panic by scientific predictions
that atomic bombs may soon destroy
civilization, and this fear is holding
up a sensible solution to the atomic
control problem, DR.. Luther Evans,
librarian of Congress, said today.
DR.. Evans spoke before the Ma
tional Committee on Atomic Infor-
nation at the Statler Hotel. His
audience was made up of represent
atives of national organizations
which have been attempting to edu-
cate the public in atomic matters.
Atomic scientists, with whom the
national committee has worked
closely, came in for DR.. Evans
heaviest criticism.
He said the scientists have used a
hell fire and damnation" approach
which had produced such horrible
fear that it doesn't result in much
more than a closing of the public
mind, an averting of the public
eye"
'They gave us this panic leader
ship because of their abysmal ignor-
ance of the way the world works
socially" DR.. Evans said. They told
us that unless we establish world
government within, say three or five
years, civilization would be de-
stroyed."
The speaker made 1t clear he
shared the prevailing fear of the
atomic bomb. He said, however,
that world government, in the sense
of a single sovereign, is obviously
inconceivable at present.
"As a social scientist, I believe the
only thing we can do is to develop
an understanding on the political
level between the United States and
Russia which will provide surcease
from war for the next generation or
so,' DR.. Evans said. Personally, I
think the chances of such an under
standing are good"
He explained that given such a
period of time the world might be
able to evolve reasonable method
for controlling the atom. He said he
thought the proper agency was one
like the present United Nations set

Lively Debate Is Seen
AT Hearing Today on
D. {. Daylight Time Z

Lively debate over proposed day
light saving time for Washington
during the summer is expected to
develop at public hearing this
afternoon before the Home Rules
Subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
Advocates claimed most residents
want to move the clock ahead an
hour during the summer. But
vocal opposition promised to be on
hand to make counterclaims.
Edwin N. Lewis, public relations
director of the Washington Board
of Trade, said in a radio talk over
Station WMAL last night that
adoption of daylight saving would
provide extra sunlight time fol
more than half a million people
working for the Government ano
in private business to participate in
sports and recreational astivities.'
In addition, he said, gardeners
would have an extra hour ito in
crease the Nations food supply
and summer visitors would have
more time to see Washington.
Some 40 metropolitan commu-
mites, comprising more than so pei
cent of the Nations population, will
go on daylight saving time, he said
These will include New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis
and San Francisco.
The Junior Board of Commerce, in
the forefront of the campaign for
approval of the bill of Senator
McGrath, Democrat, of Rhode
Island, already has told the District
Committee it's poll showed So organ
izations representing more than
$4,000 persons favored the plan, with
seven organizations, representing
more than 1900 persons, against 1t
Junior Board Poll Shown.
j. George Stewart, District Com
mittee secretary, made new sum-
mary of the committees own poll
yesterday, after reading late mail
He said SO organizations, including
80 citizens associations, were regis
tered for the measure, and 10 organ
izations opposed.
In addition, he said, the commit
tee had received letters from indi-
viduals, mostly Government workers
showing 497 for, and 107 against.
One of the new letters came from
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, registering
the opposition of the District FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs and the
Forest Hills Citizens Association.
She said the federation, at meet
ing January 27, voted unanimously
against daylight saving time. She
noted that the federation has 6,70C
members.
Women "Vitally Affected"
This matter vitally affects wom-
en-" she wrote, "It means change
of feeding hours of children, and an
earlier hour to arise"
Daylight savings, she argued
would send workers home at the
hottest hours of the day when il
was too hot for athletics or gar
dening."
On the House side, similar day
light saving bill has been favorably
reported by the House District Com
mittee, and is expected to be callee
up for House action Monday.
The bills would make daylight
saving effective each year from the
last Sunday in April to the last
Sunday in September.
