Planners AssaiIed

SIum Project Details
BY George Beveridee

The National Capital Planning
Commission next month will
consider requests that it draw a
more detailed and more inspir-
ing" blueprint of plans to clear
slums and redevelop Southwest
Washington.
Five business and professional
groups yesterday urged immedi-
ate revision of the planners gen.
eral outline for redevelopment,
and asked that further redevel-
opment projects be held up until
it is completed.
At the same time, the groups
sharply criticized administrative
procedures under which the pilot
Southwest project is being car
ried out in the So-called B Area,
a 76-acre tract bounded by the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
and Fourth, I and South Capitol
streets.
The groups, unanimous in
dissatisfaction over the planners
conception of remodeled
Southwest area, were called to-
gether to express their views to
the Planning Commission, the
District of Columbia Redevelop-
ment Land Agency and the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Upgrading at Issue.
The main point at issue. and
one debated vigorously for more
than year, is whether the
planners should not envision a
more draStically "upgraded"
area, which would attract high
income residents and take full
advantage of the waterfront's
natural beauty.
Strangely, no mention was
made of an important Federal
Court decision last week on the
slum-clearance program. The
court ruled that the act under
which the program moves is
constitutional but cautioned
that the clearance and preven-
ton of slums-not the desire
simply to rebuild old areas
must be its driving force.
Louis Justement, an architect
speaking for the Washington
Building Congress, contended
there is no use going to the
trouble. worry and expense of. re-
development unless it yields an
area vastly superior to that
which exists now." AS yet, he
declared. a plan has not been
produced that is sufficiently eX-
citing to merit being executed"
Mr.. JuStement said Project B
should be finished. But he said

ects within the whole Southwest

development in stabilizing the
economic base of the city.

the underlying civic problem in
redevelopment is the need to re-
turn the tax-income of higher
income families to the District"
He stressed also that the PLAN

ment. adopted in 1850, is mot
adequate" and should be re-
studied "in the light of the ex-
pansion of our population"
Loan Situation Warning
Herman Schmidt of the Home
Builders Association Of Metro
politan Washington, who charged
that the planners broad outline
for the Southwest "does not do
justice to it's strategic location"
He also urged that some pro-
vision be set up for rooming
houses within the new develop
ment.
The District officials also heard
warnings from Mr.. Justement
and Mr.. Schmidt that the de-
mand for new rental housing
has subsidized so much that lend
ing for this purpose has become
unattractive to mortgage lend
ers
Mr.. Justament said this should
not discourage redeveloperS, but
Mr.. Schmidt cautioned against
attempting to market large par

Avoid Shortages; Order
Fertilizer Early

Order your fertilizer early" ad-
yises Claude Phillips, chairman of
the University of Delaware agro-
nOmy department. There may be
temporary shortage if orders
pile up"
According to the United States
Department Of Agriculture, tempo
rary fertilizer shortages are likely
during the last rush. High analy-
sis phosphate materials and am
monium nitrate may fall short of
demands. Total fertilizer supplies
however, are expected to be about
II percent higher than last year.
Farmers aiming at high prOduc-
tiOn are depending ON large guam
titles of fertilizer. Demand for all
three primary plant nutrients, nj
trOgen, phosphate, and potash, is
up.
To farmers receiving early de-
livery, Phillips says, Make sure
the fertilizer is the right kind and
is in good condition. Then keep it
that way by storing it in a dry
place.
With early delivery, yOu'l avoid
the rush and the possible shortages.
You'll be sure of having at least
one of the things it takes to raise
yields per acre, improve soil pro-
ductivity, and increase your net re-
turn. "Be safe. Order now"
