we sincerely contend that this
proposal is a questionable expert
ment which would result in con-
fusion rather than progress in our
government.
On the other hand, we offer our
wholehearted support of the plan
for reorganization as submitted
by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Since it's re-
lease, we have had ample oppor-
tunity to study. evaluate and criti-
cize the Commissioners plan.
Many of our suggestions. have
been embodied in it. We are con-
vinced that these proposals con-
stitute forward step in the evo-
luton of better government for
the people of this community.
The fate of the government of
the District of Columbia lies be-
tween these two plans: One has
been brought fully to the atten-
ton of our citizens and includes
specific improvements in our
form of government: the other
is a plan whose details we barely
know and which in principle we
oppose.
Organizations Listed.
We therefore petition you, Mr.
President, to consider our state
ment in opposition to the council
manager proposal and in favor o1
the Commissioners plan as rep
resenting the views of citizens
seriously alarmed over the i'll ef-
fects the Budget Bureaus propose
could have upon our community

Bill for Recognizing
Planning Commission
Introduced in House
By Nelson M. Shepard

A new bill reorganizing the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission and creating a CO.
operating council of 10 members
for more effective coordination Of
planning for the regional area was
introduced in the House today.
The bill sets up a strengthened
National Capital Planning Com
mission, giving it an additional
appointee to be nominated for
the first time by the District
Commissioners. The prime pur-
pose of NCPC would be to
serve as the central planning
agency within the regional area
for the Federal and District gov
ernments in developing a compre-
hensive plan. 1t would also coll
laborate in this way with the
Regional Council.
The bill was introduced by
Representative Smith. Democrat.
of Virginia, a member of the
House District Committee. The
measure was expected to be re-
ferred to the District Committee.
Representing years work in
Ireconciling conflicts over the pro-
posed council, the bill gives that
group four members each from
Maryland and Virginia planning
agencies. There would also be two
NCPC members on the council.
The group would elect its own
chairman.
Would Extend Jurisdiction.
In Virginia, the jurisdiction Of
the council would be extended to
Loudoun and Prince William
Counties in addition to the areas
normally included within the
Washington region.
A new duty of the Planning
Commission would be the recon-
mendation of a six-year program
of public works. This would be
reviewed annually with the agen-
cies concerned. These in turn
are required to submit advance
copies of plans to the commits
sion.
Before introduction today the
bill had been approved not only
by the Budget Bureau, with only
insignificant changes. but also by
the interested Maryland agencies
and the all-embracing Northern
Virginia Planning Commission.
Reorganization of the existing
Federal planning commission has
been under intense study since
1948.
Different Approach.
The reorganization bill intro
duces a different approach to
planning. General regional plan
ming is considered a function of
the affected jurisdictions within
the area. This is to be conducted
and supplemented by the local
governments.
Federal Improvement ACTIVITY
is taken as bundle of needs to
be located in the region in an
orderly fashion. The internal
planning for the District is an
entirely separate function but
must be closely co-ordinated with
regional and Federal development
plans.
The bill amends the Capper-
Cramton Act for the benefit Of
Virginia communities. In this way
it would share the privileges Of
Maryland in acquiring loan agree
ments for the purchase of parks
and Fairgrounds. A $4.5 million
authorization for Virginia-the
same as for Maryland-would
raise the total authorization Of
Capper- -Cramton funds to $13.5
million.
Virginia valleys mentioned for
acquisition are Hunting Creek,
Cameron Run, Holmes Run,
Trips Run, Four-Mile Run, Pim-
NIT Run and Accotink Creek. The
House, however, knocked out such
funds for similar Maryland small
stream valleys in the current
planning appropriation bill.

Hirohito Bids People
Embrace Democracy,
Not Repeat Mistake
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO. May 3.-Emperor Hiro-
hito today called on his people to
keep faith with other nations
and see "the previous mistake is
not repeated"
The Emperor, with Empress
Nagako at his side, spoke at a
formal celebration of Japan's new
independence that came with the
end Of the Allied occupation Mon
day.
The ceremony was held in the
imperial plaza where May Day
Communist inspired anti-Ameri-
can riots left one dead and 1900
injured.
The scene today was quiet as
more than 5000 armed police and
500 khaki-clad infantry of Japan's S
budding army stood guard.
AS the Emperor spoke, the old
people sobbed from emotion. The
young listened politely.
1T behooves us, I believe, to
make this o special occasion for
rejecting on the course of past
events and resolving to see that
the previous mistake is not re-
peated," the Emperor said.
Then he continued:
Il have no doubt but that we
shall be able not only to surmount
the present obstacles, but also to
translate into action the spirit of
our constitution. Let us thor
oughly embrace the tenets of
democracy and keep faith with
other nations"
The Emperor did not use the
word surrender, but did refer to
his famous broadcast seven years
ago accepting surrender terms laid
down by the, Allies. At the same
time he spoke warmly of Ameri-
can and Allied good will shown
Japan since then.
Hirohito used intimate and
friendly terms in his speech. For
an Emperor of Japan this was
especially significant and limited
his resolve to carry forward the
new democracy.
AS he has since the end Of the
war, Hirohito used the everyday
Japanese term for II" instead of
the special royal term.

There's A Knack
To Hanging Clothes

Anyone who has ever washed
clothes knows the feeling of
pride that comes when the wash
is finally all hung in orderly
fashion on the line. Perhaps
most of us hang those clothes just
as our mothers and even .,ur
grandmothers hung theirs. Yet
laundry experts tell us there is
why and wherefore to correct
hanging. Some of their sugges-
tions may help you to get
Straighter, less wrinkled results
from our lines. These may even
eliminate much of the ironing
The general principle for correct
hanging is based on the idea
that the fewer wrinkles that dry
into the clothes the easier the
ironing will be. Towels, pillow
cases, sheets, and even handker-
chiefs are hung over the line
about 3 to inches Sheets with
hens together and over the line.
This eliminates the rabbit ears"
which often need much pulling 10
straighten. Shirts may be hung
from the side seams with the tail
OF the shirt over the line and
third pin holding the center
fronts of the shirt. Slips and
gowns dry straightest when hung
frcm the waist. Careful folding
as clothes are taken down is inn
portant too. One county home
maker uses card table right out
or the lawn.
AS spring days make wash days
more pleasant, experiment with
your clothes hanging. Fewer
wrinkles vii mean less work for
you.
