A three alarm fire at the old
w. B. Moses Building early to-
day was brought under control
quickly.
Firemen said the blaze was
confined to the sixth floor of the
structure. The building, at
Eleventh and F streets NV, is
being razed to make way for
shops and parking garage.
Fire Chief Millard H. Sutton
said cause of the blaze had not
been determined officially, but
that a possible cause was that
equipment such as hot blow
torches may have been left too
close to combustible material.
First alarm was sounded at
1916 am. by Pvts. r. A. Phelps
and S. R. Alexander of the first
precinct. They had been sent
to investigate a report that smoke
was pouring from the building.
Pvt. Phelps said that when they
arrived they saw not only smoke,
but flames pouring from top floor

Fewer Laws
Cook Sees Too Many
Regulations Here
In Housing Work

E 4 . IS st,s
G. Yates Cook, creator of the
so-called Baltimore plan" for
urban housing rehabilitation,
yesterday voiced at least part of
a philosophy that may be ap-
piled to Washington.
Mr.. Cook is executive director
of the newly formed Federal
City Council, an organization of
civic leaders and businessmen
that has pledged itself to re-
vitalizing Washington as a place
to live and do business in.
His remarks were addressed to
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce, which made him guest
of honor at a meeting in the
Burlington Hotel.
Mr.. Cook preached o doctrine
against too much and too little.
Too many laws regulating
housing conditions constituted
one of his chief complaints.
Administrative Problem.
'"If you can't administer 20
laws that are already in exist
ence, you can't administer 20
more" Mr.. Cook declared. The
problem in this respect, he ex-
planned. is 'basically one of ad-
ministration, not legislation"
He said a good example is the
situation where housing inspec-
tors stumble over defective side
walks in slum areas on their way
to the better-class areas.
''They don't pay any atten-
ton to these sidewalks nor the
conditions in the houses which
bound Them" Mr.. Cook said.
''They will go out to the good
areas and spend the day check
ing minor violations to the
neglect of the slums."
MIR. Cook had an acid COM
ment for the type of government
bureaucrat who permits this
practice:
81 have in mind the career
type who has sat so long that
his seat is broader than his vi
Sion."
| Skips Local Criticism.
He emphasized that he was
referring to Government career
lists generally, not District
officials.
II haven't been here long
enough to offer any comment on
the local government" he said.
Mr.. Cook added that there is
too much demolition of bad
housing. He said he realizes that
demolition is necessary in many
instances. But, he said, when
you tear down slum you are not
curing a thing" Education is q
part of the answer, he said.
Any program to revitalize 9
city involves study and planning
in advance of actual conditions
of deterioration, he said. That
is the purpose of the Fedora
Council.
"Our intention is not to needle
government, but to assist it," he
said. 1--WE must think in terms
of action today instead Of
tomorrow"
| Urges Speedy Action.
Speedy action instead of long
surveys should be the watch
word, Mr.. Cook emphasized.
| For example, he said, there
is no earthly reason why you
should debate for two years
where to locate a downtown
bridge" He recalled an exas-
perated suggestion reputedly
given a United States Senator
during part of the controversy
over Washington's proposed T
Street Bridge.
eff you want to find a suitable
location, just close your eyes anc
drop a pencil on the map. That's
where you should put the bridge.

Vocational Plan
Get Commissioner
View, Awoit Report
Of Committee

The Commissioners Advisory
Council today referred to it's
health and welfare committee
the proposed transfer to the Dis
trict of vocational rehabilitation
functions.
Also at its meeting today the
council heard a discussion Of
next years budget for the Dis
trict and the views of Maj. Gen.
U. S. Grant III on several high
way matters.
Council Chairman William E.
Leahy said the proposed transfer
of the rehabilitation functions
from the Federal Government to
the District was referred to the
committee for a report expected
next month.
Under discussion is whether
the functions should be turned
over to an existing District de-
partment or given to an inde-
penQenC agency.
Many Factors Involved.
Involved, Mr. Leahy explained.
are not only matters of health
but of schooling and training and
finding jobs, as we'll as costs.
The council has heard discus
sion of the matter by Commits
sioner Samuel Spencer and
Renah Camalier and by Schuyler
Lowe, director of General Ad-
ministration.
The commissioners made no
recommendations to the council
however, Mr.. Leahy said.
Gen. Grant, who is former
chairman of the National Capital
Planning Commission, discussed
a number of highway planning
projects. urging the advisory
council to get all viewpoints be-
fore deciding on important mat
ters affecting the development
of the city.
He said he came as an indi-
vidual who has been connected
with the development of the Dis
| trict since 1904.
He said he represented no one
organization but he knew many
groups were of the same mind
and thousands of District resi-
dents" agreed with him.
Hits Bridge Site.
He said the compromise plan
for the Districts new central
area bridge, approved this sum-
mer, still contemplates bad To-
cation" and that the Reaches
Run bridge proposal should be
carried out first. Gen. Grant also
objected to running a freeWay
through Rock Creek Park tc
connect to Route 240, which he
said would ruin the enjoyment
of the park. An alternative
would be to bring 240 into the
city and disperse it's traffic by
connections with various city
streets, the speaker declared.
He also opposed the proposal
to run freeway through Boun-
Diary Branch Valley He said
this would thwart the hopes Of
