A f1ve-year desire of Federal
Park officials to annex 1000 un-
developed acres of the Greenbelt
tract to Washington's regional
and recreational system may be
realized this year.
Their hopes rose yesterday after
the Public Housing Administration
assured them the property would
be withheld from public sale
pending passage of legislation au-
thorizing its transfer to the In
terror Department.
Negotiations with PHA were
hastened last week when park
officials learned the housing
agency had called a meeting for
tomorrow to consider ways Of ex-
pediting the disposal of the
Greenbelt housing development.
Route Bisects Tract.
The way was cleared when the
housing agency was informed of
a clause in the pending bill for
the Baltimore Washington Park
way. The route bisects the 1000
acres which are adjacent to the
Greenbelt housing.
A clause in the bill permits
transfer from one Federal agency
to another, upon mutual agree
ment," OF any lands desired for
addition to the parkway. The
bill. introduced by Representative
Sasscer, Democrat, of Maryland
is before the House Public Works
Committee. Hearings were held
on it recently.
Supt. Irving c. Root of National
Capital Parks said the acquisition
of the desired acreage would

equalize opportunities of Prince
Georges County residents for
public recreation.
One of the proposals is to build
an 18-hole golf course on the
property. There now are no public
links in that section of the rapidly
growing county.
Plan Years Old.
The recreation area at Green
belt was first suggested five years
ago by Thomas c. Jeffers, land
scape architect of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. The acreage Is located
between Edmonston road on the
west. the Schrom Airport on the
east; Good Luck road on the
south and Glendale road on the
north.
Officials said the area is not
suitable for private housing, but
lends itself admirably to general
recreational purposes.
MI. JeueTS mas QIaWn up plan
for its use. The plan is elaborate
and the development hooks into
the north end of the Anacostia
River Park.
Park officials say the area Sc
lected for the golf course would
provide one of the finest links
around Washington.
Picnic grounds, reached by cir
cumferential access roads from
the parkway, are planned for both
the east and west areas. There is
ample space for a wild life area
for naturalists and hikers. Trailer
camp-sites also would be provided.

Van ArkeI Advocates
Area Wide Approach
On District Problems

Handling the Capitals problems
on a metropolitan area rather
than city basis was recommended
yesterday by Gerhard P. van Ar
kel, Senate District Committee
counsel, before the American AS
sociation of University Women
He was principal speaker at a
luncheon at the groups head
quarters, 1884 street NV;
Mr.. Van Arkel advocated joint
hearings by the Senate and
House District Committees, Dis
|trict Commissioners and Maryland
and Virginia spokesmen. He de-
clared' this is a necessary first step
in solving the areas problems.
Cites Defense Need.
In urging the area be treated as
an urban unit, Mr.. Van Arkel de-
clared civilian defense planning
must be on an area basis.
He asserted it should not be
confined to the National Capital
alone, because IAN atomic explo-
sion will not stop at the District
of Columbia line"
Any emergency can be handled
only on communicative basis,
he declared.
He advocated home rule as pro-
vided in the Kefauver bill, but said
even after this is enacted. area
problems will remain.
Cooperation Called Key.
"Only the cooperative efforts of
the Federal Government, the Dis
trict OF Columbia, Maryland and
Virginia can provide a solution. /"
he said.
Mr.. Van Arkel said the recent
growth of the city outside the
District has resulted in a chaotic
situation in utility regulation.
He said there has been a lack
|of adequate planning for the fu-
ture expansion of the city. He
added there has been "an unwise
use OF some community resources. y
The luncheon was given in
honor OF District civic leaders and
the japanese women leaders In

District Rent Controls
Ito Get Senate Hearinq
But NOT Before April

Hearings on the possibility of
extending rent control in the
District will be held "at the first
opportunity possible" Senator
Maybank, Democrat, of South
Carolina, said yesterday.
Senator Maybank is chairman
Of the Senate Banking Commit
tee which has two such bills be-
fore it for study at present.
The Senator said the hearing
could not be earlier than April,
however, because Of other busi-
ness on which the committee has
scheduled hearings. He added
that the committee wanted to de-
termine the facts about rent con-
troll In the District.
Meanwhile, Senator Cain, Re-
publican. of Washington, yester-
day criticized the announcement
that William G. Barr. deputy Fed
|eral housing expeditor, would take
part in a radio discussion of Dis
trict rent control.
Mr.. Barr would be guilty of il
legal lobbying if he urges an
extension of the controls, Senator
Cain said in a speech in the
Senate. Such talk, he con-
tinued, would be in violation of
the laws regulating lobbying be-
cause it would be an attempt to
influence pending legislation.
Mr.. Barr is scheduled to debate
the rent control issue with Rufus
IS. Lusk, president of the WASH
ington Taxpayers Association,
over Radio Station WWDC at 10
pm. today.
Unless extended, the District
rent control law will expire on
