Young Says Parade
Traffic Problem Is
D. {. Responsibility

Chairman Philip Young Of the
Civil Service Commission de-
clared today the District gov
eminent will have to bear re-
sponsibility for traffic confusion
expected during the American
Legion parade August 81.
Mr.. Young said he is sticking
by his ruling against dismissing
Federal workers here for q half
hay so they can see the parade
and cut down on traffic conges-
ton.
The Government, he said.
would be unjustifled in releasing
the Federal employees for this
event at a cost of $1.9 million to
taxpayers throughout the
country.
Mr.. Young declared American
Legion officials had persuaded
the city to authorize the staging
of the parade up Pennsylvania
avenue, whereas much of the
congestion problem could have
been eliminated by combining the
route to Constitution avenue.
mot Our Business
"The traffic problem is not our
business" he commented.
= Mr. Young expressed the CON-
viction that many thousands OF
Federal employees will take an
nual leave on parade day. He
has urged them to do SO.
He said all Of these people can
watch the procession If they
wish Furthermore. the "skele-
ton force" that reports for Fed
eral work August 81 will have
ample time. after regular hours
to see from one-half to three
fourths OF the procession, since
it will continue from 2 pm. until
about midnight.
Expected to Appeal.
Commander Arthur j. Connel]
OF the American Legion is ex-
pected to appeal from MIR
Young's ruling, possibly present
ing the mater to President Eisen-
hover. He points out that Fed.
eral workers have been excused
frequently in recent months, fol
such occasions as the visit of the
King and Queen Of Greece and
Emperor Halle Selassie Of ETH.

Chairman Young said the ira.
ditional policy is to dismiss work.
ers only for presidential inau-
gurals and the welcome Of visit
ing heads of state.

begin forming units at / pm.
When they have run the course,
most will return to the line of
march to watch the rest of the
procession.
Conversely, late marchers will
be among the spectators at the
outset. When the time approach
eS for them to form units, they
will move away from the parade
route toward the assembly area.
Then they will fall in line and
march down the avenues.
Police regulations for parade
day are strict. With two minor
exceptions, no traffic will be
permitted to cross the line Of
march.
Streetcars May Cross.
The two exceptions are for
streetcars operating on Seventh
and Fourteenth streets NV. II
and when breaks occur in the
parade-and none is scheduled
traffic officers will wave the
streetcars across Pennsylvania
avenue.
To cope with the overall prob
lem. it has been necessary to re-
uuire a wholesale re-shuffllng Of
streetcar and bus routes. not
only those Of the Capital Transit
Co.. but Of lines serving suburban
communities.
Furthermore, a 36-hour ban on
automobile parking has been pro-
posed from midnight August 80
until 6 am. September / for
a large sector of downtown
washington Special regulations
are being drafted for taxicab
service.
Transportation probably will
become a serious problem hours
before the procession. The
parade win start at 2 pm. and
will continue at least until 10
PPM. Many persons think it will
run past midnight. If favorable
weather brings the expected
turnout.
American Legion officials
urged the Federal Government
to excuse employees for half a
day because Of the parade. They
said this would enable a large
number of persons to witness the
spectacle, and 1t would give
them an opportunity to station
themselves on the side Of parade
route nearest their homes.

| Measure Creating
Area Transit Group

The Montgomery County
Council today will vote to sup
port Representative Hyde's bill
pending in Congress to create a
Metropolitan Area transit COM
mission and q companion meas
ure to provide Federal funds
for a regional traffic study.
The council authorized draft
ing Of the resolution on rec
ommendation Of Frederick GU
theim, the county's representa-
tive on the National Capital
Regional Planning Council.
The councils speedy action
was taken after Mr.. Gutheim
said such support must be made
dramatically evident within
the next few days" if the two
measures are to be passed this
session.
Dispersal Problem Cited.
Mr.. Gutheim's recommends
tions were aimed at helping the
county cope with planning prob
lens facing nearby counties un-
der the Federal dispersal plan.
He also called on the council
to authorize the Upper Mont
gomery County Planning Com
mission to act as its agent in
establishing liaison with Federal
agencies such as the Office of
Defense Mobilization. the Gen.
eral Services Administration, the
Atomic Energy Commission and
the National Capital Planning
Commission.
The passage Of Federal Pub
lie Law $40. the Federal lease
purchase act. poses problems
which cannot be faced by the
county council or the rural plan
ming commission, Mr.. Gutheim
said.
Larger Staff Urged.
He urged the council to grant
a supplementary appropriation
to the planning commission for
staff increases to handle the
specific problems of Federal dis
persal.
At the same time he asked
the council to study the legal
aspects Of the Federal Lease
Purchase Act to determine to
what extent local governments
may exercise conrtol over devel-
opments authorized under its
provisions.
The act provides for long
term leases of UP to Is years
to allow private builders to con-
struct buildings for Government
occupancy. The leases also pro-
vide that at the end of the Gin
stallment buying" the title of
the building reverts to the Gov
eminent.
Local Zoning Control.
Mr.. Gutheim said prelimi-
nary study leads to the conclu-
sion that such buildings would
be subject to local coming con-
troll as would developments
around the Federal buildings.
Mr.. Gutheim also made pub
lie a letter written by the rural
planning commission August IL
to the chairman Of the Atomic
Energy Commission urging "close
and early cooperation between
Federal and local authorities"
on the proposed relocation OUT
side Washington Of the agency's
offices.
Planning Commission Chair
man Thomas c. Kelley asked the
Acc chairman for a statement
Of your general intentions" ON

cooperation with local planning
bodies.
Mr.. Kelley said his commits
sion's concern in the event the
Acc building was to be located
in Montgomery County was to
insure that the impact upon the
county Is q beneficial one.

 GAP COMMANDER RAPs RlNoRs
 Captain Bob Edlund of .hs Homer Civ- il Air Patrol unit spoHe out strongly tuesday night against runors concerning the CAP. Speaking to aooQt 15 members gathered for the meeting. Edlond said that he had heard it sa-2 that the CAP rlane was not in Anchorage oa business over the weekend when n .-T7r5ency sup posadly arose har5 ir tonn H8 explain ed that the exercise III Anchorage was an annual affair in wnicn most of the terri torial CAP units participate. Re cause of the bad weather last weekend he said, ths Homer plane was the only plane from outside the Anchorage area that participated.
 h regard to the supposed emergency he said that the individual involved had been taken to the hospital the day before the CAP pl ane left to particl pate in the Anchorage exercise wi th the 10th Air Rescue.
 The Commander again stressed the meaning of the word emergency as in terpreted by the CAP. Hs said that the CAP will always be available to fly stretcher cases, or cases where the in dividua1 could not, because of hi $ con- dition, lie prone, to Anchorage for Disqualification. The CAP does not in tend, he said, to compete vi tn conner cial air lines but will stand ready to assist in cases of extreme necessity.
 In regard to operation of the GAP plane, tdlund stated that il must be flown at least 10 hours per month by the local unit or 1t will be taken away and given to some other unit that would put it to use. For the past two months the Homer squadron has logged more hours than any other squadron in the 9ncnorage wing. Since the plane arrived in Homer, he said, nine emer- gency flights have been flown indicat ing that the plane has been of great value to the area. X.
 When the pl ane is used for anything put emergencies, such as training flights, the CAP charges standard rate of Se per hour to cover the cost of operation.
