There's a good deal more than
meets the eye in the current
hullabaloo about a new appointee
to the National Capital Planning
Commission.
Behind the scenes, for the
second straight year. is a tight
little tuSsle over whether a local
man will be named to succeed
Frederick Bigger of Pittsburgh,
whose membership expires today.
= The local-man boosters, in
cluoing District G. o. r. leaders,
have two main qualifications for
the job in mind One is a direct
grasp of Washington's peculiar
economic. social and physical
setup. The other is a more
hard-headed and practical ap-
proach to city development prob
lens than professional planners
are likely to have.
The main thing worrying the
anti-local-man forces is that
these qualifications likely would
strengthen District Engineer
Commissioner Louis w. Prentiss
is his running battle with COM
mission old-liners on such issues
as bridges and roads in parks.
More times than not. Mr.. Big

liShed commission views. A
switched vote could make a lot
of difference on key issues. So
a strong move is under way by
professional planning, park and
conservation groups to have
