Planners Back
More Stories in
New Buildings
Commission Careful
To Freeze Heights
To Present Limits

The National Capital Planning
Commission next week will sup
port a proposal before the District
zoning Commission to permit
builders to put more stories in
buildings limited to 10 and 130
foot heights.
The proposal, eagerly sought by
builders, was indorsed by the
planning group yesterday, at the
opening of its monthly two-day
session.
The first of big agenda of
subjects tackled by the planners
at their cloSed-door meeting today
was the controversy over location
of future Potomac River bridges.
The group was to hear a report
on various bridge proposals by a
special subcommittee.
The main issue involved in the
bridge problem is a proposed
bridge across the river from E
street NV Earlier, the commits
sion indorsed the principle of a
report opposing the E street
bridge but has taken no firm
stand since.
ZOning Hearing Tuesday.
The question of relaxing restric-
tions on the number of floors in
Washington buildings will come
before the zoning commission at
a public hearing at 10 am. Tues
day.
Two proposals will be aired.
One would cut off all bans on the
number of stories in 110 and 130-
foot buildings. The other would
raise from 10 to II the number
of floors permitted in 110-foot
buildings, raise from IL to 13 the
number permitted in 130-foot
buildings and exclude from the
"story" category space used for
heating, ventilation and other
utility facilities.
The NCPC. in its action yester-
day, indorSed the second of the
two proposals.
At the same time, however, it
urged that wording of the pro-
posal be strengthened to make
certain no. change is permitted in
the total height of buildings, now
limited to 110 and 130 feet.
Land Transfer Endorsed.
Spokesman for building groups
contend that a relaxation of the
"story" rules would stimulate con-
struction in the downtown area
by making such ventures more
profitable. Opponents of the pro-
posals contend they would increase
overcrowding and intensity the
parking problem
In another action, the planners
approved the transfer, from the
Justice Department to District
Jurisdiction. of a 10-acre strip of
land through the grounds of the
National Training School for Boys.
The land will be needed to extend
New York avenue from South
Dakota avenue NE. to AnacoStia
Park as a connection with the
Baltimore Washington Parkway.
The NCPC deferred action on a
District Recreation Board request
to rename the old CardoZo High
School playground. The commits
sion decided first to set more def
mite policies about how to select
new playground names.
This afternoon, the planners
hope to act on several highway
and street proposals, a public
housing site in Kenilworth and
the proposed six-year, 1919 million
public works program for the
District.

Details Sought
On Assistant
Committee Returns
PIon to Corning for
Additional Dutu
By Jones 6. Deone

The Districts schools are
practically at the bottom of the
heap" on administrative costs.
compared to those in other cities,
according to Supt. Hobart M.
Corning.
The superintendent told the
Personnel Committee of the Board
of Education yesterday he will
present statistics showing this.
Sent back to DR.. Corning by
the committee was a proposal to
create assistant principalships in
vocational schools and large
grade schools.
Board members asked for de-
tailed information on school en-
rollment and the number of school
units with two or more buildings
before making a decision.
Varied Reaction.
Walter N. Tobriner said he
will oppose adding to the adj
ministrative staff while there is a
teacher shortage. Wesley S.
Williams questioned whether add
ing assistant principals wouldn't
make the schools "look like a
Mexican army" with too many
generals and not enough privates."
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips said all
elementary schools with more
than one building should have as
siStant principals. DR.. Corning,
however, said assigning a full
time assistant principal to an
eight-room building would hard
ly be justified" Many multiple
building units are of that size. he
said.
Under the proposal, which has
the support of principal and par
|ent groups, an assistant principal
would be assigned to each ele-
mentary school with more than
1000 pupils and to each voca-
tional school having night classes.
The assistant principal at the vo-
|cational school would act as prin-
Icipal of the night school.
Ia Schools Qualified.
There are 10 grade schools and
four vocational schools that now
qualify for the proposed posts. II
enrolment dropped. the position
would be eliminated. DR.. Corning
emphasized.
Dr.. Otis r. Farley protested
shifting of an Anacostia High
School counselor to teaching duties
and transfer of a teacher to a
Junior high He spoke on behalf
of the Anacostia Home and School
Association.
DR.. Farley asked the board to
rescind this action, declaring the
counselor is needed at the school.
Of Temporary Nature.
Vice President Albert E. Stein
EN- replied that the transfers are
only temporary, however. He
emphasized that the colored
schools "had to have the teachers"
for whom salaries were provided
by these and other shifts in the
white schools. The shifts took
effect this week.
DR.. Corning said permanent loss
of the counselor would cause criti-
cism py the Middle States Asso-
citation of Secondary Schools and
Colleges, accrediting body for the
schools.
The schools already are under
criticism because the counselor
staff is so low compared to other
metropolitan school systems, he
disclosed
He emphasized that the service
will be restored in February, how
ever.

Federal Laws
Urged Against
Torch Clothes
Fire Marshal Says
Cities Cont Combat
Sale of InfIommubIes

Fire Marshal Raymond c.
Roberts today urged support of
a Federal rather than a local
law to combat the sale of dan
gerously inflammable items of
wearing apparel.
The official spoke at a meeting
of the Citizens Advisory Council
at the District Building.
He said the problem was an
old one to the Fire Department.
Several years ago, he related,
highly inflammable western suits
were found on the market, and
merchants and manufacturers
co-operated to remove the hazard.
But he said a local ban would
be difficult to enforce and that
District residents still might OBJ
tain such items elsewhere. Coun-
Gil Chairman Robert v. Fleming
agreed that local legislation would
not be the answer.
Infiammable "Icicles."
Mr.. Roberts also called attention
to some "glass icicles" being sold
as supposedly fire resistant, but
actually inf1ammable. He said
that merchants selling them had
been notified and had taken them
off sale. but issued warning
against them to persons who may
already have bought them.
The firemarshal pointed out
that national legislation Is now
pending in Congress.
Another witness today was Miss
Carrie Lou Allgood, secretary of
the Minimum Wage and Indus
trial Safety Board.
She discussed pending legisla-
ton to force employers to pay
who have back wages
due them. Under the present law.
the employers can be taken into
court and fined, but there is no
provision for forcing payment of
the money due.
10000 Owed Wages.
She estimated that some 10000
have money due them
from District employers. She ad-
vocated legislation requiring pay
ment on set days and a fixed rule
for paying an employe on resig-
nation or dismissal.
Gerard M. Shea, director of the
Department of Public Welfare,
asked the council that the Juvenile
Court be given authority to COM
NIT girls to Federal institutions
instead of sending them to the
Board of Public Welfare.
He said the Juvenile Court can
now send boys to Federal institu-
tions but do not have authority
to send girls. He said there was
only a small number of girls ard
young women involved in the
matter who were sent to the Ma
tional Training School for Girls
and some of them caused great
deal of trouble there, at times
necessitating calls to police to
quiet the situation.
He said he did not have suffi-
cient information on some other
questions on which the council
desired information and asked
that he be allowed to appear at
it's meeting next month.

sizes the fact that il is at this stage

LONDON - (NC) - The Polish
communist regime in its cleverly
camouflaged war against the
Church has taken steps to shut off
the supply of future priests.
News has reached here that
buildings of So minor seminaries
have been seized by the regime,
thus rendering close to 10000
seminarisns homeless. Fifty-six
of the confiscated seminaries be-
long to religious orders and con-
gregations, the other three are the
diocesan minor seminaries of the
Sees of Czestochowa, Siedlce and
Warmia.
The measure, taken early last
July, bore all the earmsrks of
careful preparation. Care was
taken to prevent the confiscstions
from becoming widely known.
Apparently, the regime seeks to
preserve the fiction that freedom
of religion" exists in Poland and
is afraid of the consequences of
open warfare against the Church.
According TO some reports, the
regime sought to justify the ar
bitrary measure by stating that
the buildings we're needed for use
as old peoples homes, orphanages
and kindergartens. These reports
say that the communists timed
the seizure to coincide with the
beginning of summer vacations for
the seminarians. According to an
other version the students were
sent home and told to stay with
their families.
The Polish seizures recall SINH
lar measures that have been taken
some time ago in Czechoslovakia,
Hungary and Yugoslavia.
The overwhelming majority of
tht Polish people is staunchly
Catholic and would resist any at

Consequently, the Warsaw re-

Catholic societies and curbing re-
ligious instruction. Together with
this goes incessant propaganda
aimed at creating a rift between
the higher" and slower" clergy
and between patriotic" and re

strictions on the training of new
priests, the regime seeks to fur
ther a policy of letting the Church
'wither on the vine"
Meanwhile, the communist re-
gime does everything in its pow

the living conditions of priests and
