fish markets from the Maine ave-
nue. area.
The suggestions were disclosed
today in a report released by
the District Redevolpment LAND
Agency. The report has not beer
Endorsed by the land agency, but
has been submitted to the Ma
Itional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission for it's considera-
tion.
Authors of the report are the
firms of Justement, Elan & Darby
and Keyes, Smith, Satterlee and
Lethbridge.
The Redeyelopment Agency and
the Highway Department already
have agreed tentatively to locate
the freeway on F street. But the
new report says it should be
north of E street instead.
The Commissioners and the
Planning Commission have yet to
decide the location definitely.
Details Released.
A slum- clearing plan retaining
the markets and plotting the free
way along F street also has been
prepared by the two firms. Fea-
lures of this plan were made pub
lie last week, and details are in
cluded in the report released to-
day.
But the report says the alterna-
tive plan would be preferable.
Redevelopment agency spokes-
men said the alternative freeway
location had been considered, but
was rejected by city planners as
too costly.
But the new report says that
E street construction cost wouldn I
be any more. And it contends
additional land purchase cost,
amounting to possibly $40 million,
would be Offset because more
space could be sold or leased for
apartment buildings and the land
would bring a higher tax yield
than the present produce center.
Markets Called a Nuisance.
The report called the produce
center "a nuisance to traffic and
to the residential values which
redevelopment seeks to create. u
It also labeled it largely super
animated and completely un-
slightly" and pointed out its
retention will necessitate an awk-
ward bridge-crossing of the Wash
ington channel which would bar
part of the channel to high
masted pleasure boats.
The report proposed an ele-
waited freeway instead of the pro-
posed depressed-elevated combina-
tion. 1t did not suggest any new
location for the produce center.
AS another alternative, it said
making F and E streets one-way
would be better than an F street
freeway. A similar plan, using
F and G streets, was considered
earlier by the highway depart
ment. The report called the F
street freeway "a questionable
luxury"

were part Of an unofiicial group

It was believed here that the
unofficial party had become
alarmed at the furore created
over their action when they
listened in ON their hand-cranked
radio to news broadcasts and had
decided to release their hostages.
1t also was believed that they had
been promised evacuation by air
to Belem if means could be found.
Members of Official Party.
Maj. Correa and Mr.. Magness
were members of the official party
which set up a base at Lagoa
Grande. 900 miles north of Rio
de Janeiro. They trekked through
IS miles Of jungle to the scene
where the Stratocruiser crashed
April 20 and killed all so aboard.
They reached the scene Friday.
The unofficial party got there
first by dropping parachutists
three and one half miles from the
spot and preparing a landing site
for helicopters. This group was
headed by Limo de Matos of Sac
Paulo. a state legislator. The ex-
pedition was financed by Adhemar

airlines and possible presidential
candidate.
