RedeveIopment Unit
Drafts Estimate for
Stun Clearance Here

Washingtons new land Redevel-
opment Agency has an estimate
prepared for its first years work Of
Kidding the Capital of blighted
neighborhoods, it was learned yes
terday.
Mark Lansburgh, chairman of the
Eflve-man agency, and officials of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission announced the esti-
mate, said to total several million
dollars" would go to Congress just
as soon as it is known whether
Congress will appropriate sos, OOO
for the group to draft plans for the
rebuilding program.
The $95 900 is carried in the in
dependent offices appropriation bill
now before the Wigglesworth Sub
committee of the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
Authorizes Master Plan.
1t would allow the planning COM
mission to draw up a modern mas
ter plan for the city and prepare
individual plans for blighted sec
lions picked to start the program.
Three sections have been named
so far as likely to be the first re-
built. They are the Barry Farms
area just north of st. Elizabeths
Hospital, the Marshall Heights area
in the far eastern corner of the Dis
trict and a small slum area in
Southwest Washington.
The law requires that the plans
be drafted, or at least be underway
before the redevelopment agency
can start work. For this reason
the estimate, now ready, must wait
on the fate of the planning item
now before Congress.
Delay of Year Seen.
If Congress declines to appropri-
ate the $4,000, Mr.. Lansburgh ex-
planned, the entire program will be
held up a year.
He said ne could not give the
amount of the estimate, but said
it included enough money to buy
the land involved in the first few
projects to be redeveloped, plus a
smaller amount to pay the agency's
administrative costs.
Members of the agency now are
using their own money for postage,
transportation, clerical help and
other preliminary expenses.
The agency is authorized to spend
a $40, 100000 revolving fund over
period OF years. The first esti-
mate involves only a part Of it.
If the appropriation is granted,
Mr.. Lansburgh said, land purchases
may be started this summer.

Reilly Expects Exodu,
OF Taxpayers 10 Rise
Under Present Trend

John A. Reilly, president of the
Washington Board of Trade, warned
Washington yesterday that the exc
dus of substantial taxpayers from
the District will be stepped up if:
/. Immediate steps are not taken
to improve transportation, highway
and parking facilities in the DOWN
town area so people can get in and
out of it faster and more comfort
ably.
g The real estate tax is increased
to point where the cost of living
and, doing business in nearby Mary
land and Virginia is enough lower
than it is in the District to tempt
property owners and business to
clear out.
Serious Effect Feared.
Writing for the June issue of the
Board of Trade News, Mr.. Reilly
said:
"If decentralization occurs as
rapidly and to as great an extent as
it has in some other cities, there will
be serious economic effects on the
District through withdrawal of en-
ploying units and reduction in tax
receipts"
In line with this warning the pres
ident of the 8,000-member trade
board called for a one-cent increase
in the gasoline tax to finance high
way improvements and a three-Way
program to bring s10,000,000 more
into the city's general fund.
Plan would Boost Liquor Tax.
The program would raise the Fed
eral payment to the District, put the
income tax on base where it would
be paid by all persons who reside
in the District and double the tax
on liquor.
If this proves unacceptable to Con-
gress, sales tax should be enacted,
Mr.. Reilly said.
Those who favor increasing the
real estate tax instead of using these
fund raising measures, he said, show
IAN unfamiliarity with the basic
economic facts present in this city"
Decentralization of Washington is
an extremely serious condition" he

ATTENTION.
ALL
SAXON BOWLERS!

The T. S. ]. A. officers and
the National Committee of the
Central Verband have discussed
a possible formation of Saxo,,
Bowling League.
The tentative plans would call
tor bowling matches to be ar
ranged on Sunday afternoons and
to keep the travelling distance as
hort as possible. Any Saxon or
group of Saxons would be eli
gible to bowl in this league. 1t is
desired to bring together the
young people with their respec-
tive Senior groups through this
competition. Saxon bowlers from
any city are eligible to participate,
male or female.
Any interested groups are re-
quested to notify the Association
President, Henry SCHNEIDER,
lO6O5 Linnet Ave-, Cleveland IL,
Ohio. at the earliest possibne time
1t is hoped to begin this league
as soon after the new year as
possible. Ii enough rcsponce is
received, a meeting will be called
for representatives OF all clubs,
etc, that desire to take part in
the Bowling League. This meet
ing will be for the purpose OF
drawing up the rules and regu-
lations for the league and also the
schedule for bowling and to
adopt same as the legal rules, re-
gulations and bowling schedule
of the organization.

and beetroot (as they say is
often discussed. British cooking as
such has always been on the drab
side so the monotony has little to
relieve it. In Paris there was inn
mediately taste to everything.
But in Paris-as in all France
there is an element of far deep
er significance than good in gen.
eral. That is BREAD. One cannot
write the word in too large let
ters! To the French, Bread is the
symbol of life itself and govern
ment must insure the people their
bread. When the last cut was made
in the bread ration there were
murmurings that did not augur
well for this government. Another
cut might be disastrous. OF course
the many Communist newspapers
play these things up in ever
greater crescendos-as, for in
stance, the shipping of sugar to
the French zone in Germany
with their usual complete disre-
gard of accuracy.
Apparently it is not a question
at the moment Of a complete
"take-over". Rather is it that if
the winter goes badly the COM
munists will be able to reinstate
themselves in one or two positions
in the Cabinet. This will make it
possible for them to sabotage
whatever effort is honestly made
land there are many to improve
the situation for the workers, to
curb the black market, and to put
finances on a stable basis. From
our standpoint, and by that l mean
quite simply the security of west
ern civilization, such a step would

FOOD
BY Congressman Frances P. BoIton-

be exceedingly serious. That is
why we must find some way to as
sure France a minimum, but ade-
quate minimum, of grain supplies
for her summer so that she can
use what is now available through
the winter and so not have to cut
the bread ration. Bread is the key.
Rome was an unexpected stop
over for us. Short as it was it
made deep impression. The dis
couragement we felt in Paris was
not abroad in its streets. One i'm
mediately sensed that there had
been an upswing among the peo-
pie. There is no question but that
the Italian is working hard, that
he is determined to put himself
back on his own feet, that he is
determined to regain prestige
among the nations. Yes, he is
poor; yes, he needs food, and seeds
to plant, he needs to export that
he may buy, but he has his head
up and his eyes are alight. Very
different from the Italian as I
glimpsed him two years ago.
Athens was still another story.
The political confusions meet you
on every street corner. There is no
doubt of the help being given the
guerilla forces from across the
borders. There is no question of
the urgency of the situation. One
of the factors is that the working
man has for so very long been
ground under the heel of whatever
group was in authority that he is
quite ready to turn to whatever
he may feel is light upon his
horizon. AS to the possibilities Of
his swinging to the communists he
is now saying within himself, my
position is so bad it could not be
worse, so perhaps L will try the
Russian way" What these people
need, these Greeks who have been
fighters for centuries, is food, con-
fidence and stabilization of cur
rency.
In every restaurant of the Unit
ed States and in every eating place
bread is put on the table careless
ly, often to be just crumbled up
and not eaten. What are you as an
individual willing to do about food
for these tragic countries? AT
this instant in history Food Is the
essential. A man must eat and be
able to provide food for his FAM
lily. If he Cannot then he will turn
in any direction to fill that need.
How much are we willing to do to
help feed the hungry-for Food is
the essential need? Upon that a
new world can be built.
